The Rogue comes with standard 31.6 cubic feet of cargo space or a generous 74.1 cubic feet when the rear seat is folded. We like the Rogue’s nifty “divide-n-hide” cargo management system that keeps some cargo squirreled away while supplying access to what people need on the go. Other features of note include dual-zone climate control on all but the base trim, four cupholders, and four drink holders. The front seats are especially comfortable and ideal for long trips. The latter seems borrowed from Infiniti, Nissan’s luxury brand, and is found on the door inlays and dashboard too.Īll but the base trim comes with power front seats. Nissan also offers real hides, including quilted leather on the Platinum trim. Cloth seats come standard and imitation leather is available. Unusual for this segment is the material choices covering the seats. Like most competitors, the Rogue seats five with ease although for a boost in comfort and rear hip room, the midsize Nissan Murano is the better and more expensive choice. At least when it comes to interior space. The current breed of compact utility vehicles belies their name. The Rogue comes with standard 17- or available 18- or 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels. The list of available features includes a power panoramic moonroof, roof rails with available fixed crossbars, and an available power liftgate. Dual folding and power-adjustable side mirrors are standard and come heated on all but the base model. Nissan equips the Rogue with automatic LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, and LED taillights. The rear quarter is not as dramatic as the front with the usual wraparound tail lamps present. We were particularly enchanted by the two-tone paint and the floating roof design, a look that punches above this segment’s weight. Strong shoulders, a high beltline, and a long roofline make the Rogue seem larger than it is. It supplies an unusual appearance along with the familiar horse collar grille. Indeed, the most noticeable distinction between the two is the split headlights with the Rogue. That’s a good thing, although the front fascia is different from the Rogue. The Nissan Rogue delivers a strong presence and is easily confused with the midsize Nissan Pathfinder. That said, you can find well-equipped versions for about $10,000 less. It came with special two-tone paint ($325), illuminated kick plates ($400), external ground lighting ($620), and a special premium package that added tri-zone climate control, heated rear outboard seats, and a head-up display ($620).Īll told, this model cost an eye-watering $43,100. Our test model was a 2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum grade with all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive is standard all-wheel drive is a $1,500 upgrade for all grades.
