Nissan Rogue Summary
As a crossover, the Nissan Rogue is part road vehicle, part SUV. This means you can easily take it off-road, particularly if you invest in the available all-wheel drive. The Rogue is a best-in-class vehicle, being the best-selling SUV in the States and having won the Consumer Guide® Automotive Best Buy Award five years running. It even comes in a hybrid model, so you can go green without having to downsize.
Some find the acceleration lacking, but top safety features and intelligent tech should make up for that—there’s even a limited Star Wars edition!
Nissan Rogue Safety
Since its debut, the Nissan Rogue has been known for its comprehensive set of safety features that come as standard. The very first edition of the car was awarded Top Safety Pick by the IIHS, and Nissan has only added features since then. That means no matter how old the Rogue, you can expect top-tier safety. Features include:
- Anti-lock brakes with brake assist for safe last-minute stops
- Side airbags to keep passengers safe in the event of a crash
- Stability control to steady the ride
- Active head restraints
- Tire pressure monitoring and alerts so you’ll never be caught off-guard by a puncture
Newest editions also offer vehicle dynamic control, which monitors for sudden changes in steering and adjusts to help you stop safely.
Nissan Rogue Interior
All models of the Rogue offer a well-fitted and high-quality trim. Easy-to-read gauges and interface controls make monitoring the vehicle’s components easy. The back seats are LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children)-compatible, though some say installing child seats can be difficult, especially in older models.
If you want a seriously upgraded interior, look to models 2016 and up. Astronaut-inspired zero gravity seats are designed to keep you awake and attentive at the wheel, and heated front seats and steering wheel wraps make for luxurious winter drives.
Nissan Rogue Technology
Most older models have Bluetooth compatibility, and many trims from 2011 on include an LCD touchscreen. If you’re looking at a Rogue from the 2016 model year, you can upgrade to one with a Bose® Premium Audio System for crystal-clear sound. The new Nissan Intelligent Mobility™ suite offers a range of advanced driver assist systems in 2019 models, too. That means Apple and Android compatibility and a 7-inch, full-colour touchscreen.
Nissan Rogue Space
The Rogue has always been a spacious vehicle, with foldable seats and a third row on select trims. As for the 2019 version, 39.3 cubic feet of cargo space means you can pile in a family’s worth of luggage and still have room to spare. Couple that with adjustable dividers and shelves, and you’ve got custom storage solutions that you can create on the fly.
Nissan Rogue Comfort
You get a smooth, quiet ride with the Nissan Rogue, though users report limited rear visibility across most models. Memory foam padding has been added in recent editions, and the driver’s seat can save the preferred position settings of up to two drivers.
