All of the other vehicles have cargo area heights that are too short (less than 2.5 ft.).

The Rogue is the only vehicle I found with a cargo area tall enough for me to carry bikes inside. Maybe they mistakenly reviewed the smaller Nissan Rogue Sport instead? Edmunds review says, 'Smaller back seat'. Much better than the highly praised Kia / Hyundai products. It's much quieter than the highly praised CX-5 and equally quiet to the Venza. I was looking for a vehicle that had comfortable seating, was quiet at freeway speeds, gets good gas mileage and had a cargo area with useful dimensions - tall enough and long enough to enable me to carry bikes standing up (with the bike's front wheel removed).Over about a year, I either rented or test drove a Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Venza, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento, Ford Escape, Ford Edge, Volkswagen Tiguan, Subaru Forester and BMW X-3.Įdmunds' review says 'Elevated wind and road noise at highway speeds' so I skipped looking at this vehicle until the end and was surprised to find it to be among the quietest I'd driven. This vehicle is better than I expected based on the review I read here at Edmunds.
