Clearance & Suspension & Power
=========
 1. 170 - 180 recommended for India.
 2. What to check about susspension(front/read): Strut/Torsion Beam
 3. More (tightly spaced!) speeds is better (6), speed-of-shifting is extremely important. CVT(variator - more efficient, but maintenance intensive - needs to be serviced everyk 50k and might break down after 100k) vs auto transmission?
 4. Engine size of 2.0l for a small SUV... Turbo seems help to speed-up uphil (but needs to be replaced every 50,000km) and can work with smaller motors (but still counted for taxes). So better avoid.
 5. Kerb weight

Safety
======
 1! Dual Front Airbags
 2! ABS (anti-lock braking system)
 3? ESC (electronic stability control) + TCS/ASR (traction control system)
 4. Automated Emergency Braking / Forward-Collision Warning
 5. Driver-Attention Monitor 
 6. 

Advices
=======
 0. Hill-start assist
 1. ADC (Adaptive Cruise Control - reduces the speed on slow vehicles ahead)
 2. Parking/Proximity Sensors / Active Park Assist -  actively steer the vehicle into parking while the driver operates the accelerator and brake
 3. Blind-Spot Monitor (detect cars in the adjustment lanes) + rear cross-traffic alert + lane departure warning
 4. A pedestrian-detection system 
 5. Night Vision  - forward-facing thermographic cameras
 6. Lane-Keeping Assist / Traffic-Sign Recognition 

Oil price
=========
 1. Round-trip to Byurokan 80km (rounding to 100km), oil price in armenia 60-eurocents.
 2. Australian combined cycle official fuel economy

Summary
=======
 * Nissan Rogue S 2015. Sligthly lower price category than Mazda CX7. CVT is worse and complaints are many, smaller LCD screen. S variant don't have fancy helpers and similar to that Lev have. 
   Better fuel economy but still worse than gaz used by Lev. Less control on downhill driving. Main complain on CX7 is fuel economy and headlights. And front pillar blind spots.
