The Rogue is a relative newcomer to the compact SUV category. First launched in the 2008 model year, the Rogue quickly became a customer favorite for its just-right size and affordable price tag. The Rogue is technically classified as a crossover because of its car-like feel, but it’s equally at home in slippery conditions, thanks to the available all-wheel drive powertrain.
Don’t let all that all-weather capability fool you. First and foremost, the Rogue is designed for sporty and agile driving characteristics. Nissan positioned it to appeal to young families and drivers looking for the utility of an SUV body style without losing responsive acceleration and curve-hugging agility. Throughout its three generations of production, the Rogue has given its competitors a lot of heartburn.
The first-generation Rogue was all about establishing dominance in the massively popular compact crossover segment. Nissan positioned the Rogue to win buyers right out of the gate, equipping the base model with substantial standard comfort and convenience features, such as remote keyless entry and a premium audio system, and building in plenty of advanced safety features for buyer peace of mind.
In its second-generation (2013 - 2020), the Rogue secured its position as a top contender in the segment. Nissan targeted busy families, designing an interior that included an optional third row of seating, but ultimately eschewed the additional seating for a roomier 5-passenger cabin with impressive cargo area space. That design carried over to the third generation complete redesign for 2021.
Nissan’s best-selling model received a complete ground-up redesign for the 2021 model year. Positioned as the ultimate compact family crossover, the new Rogue cements its place as a category leader with a refashioned cabin – called a “family hub” by Nissan – geared entirely towards family comfort, safety, and utility.
Small touches, like the wider swing of the rear doors (which makes getting car seats in and out a lot easier), add up to enhanced convenience. Parents will love the available motion-activated tailgate for easy access when their arms are loaded with gear, and occupants will feel rather than see the difference made by Zero Gravity seats, available heated seating, and factory-installed pull-down shades.
Available wireless Apple CarPlay and Android auto combine with a wireless smartphone charger to keep everyone charged and entertained during long drives. There are also plenty of USB ports scattered around the cabin. Digital displays dominate the dash, including an available 10.8-inch head-up display, a 12.3-inch gauge cluster, and a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, the last of which is the largest in its class.
Fully-loaded Rogue Platinum models feature heated front and rear seats, heated outside mirrors, and a heated steering wheel, along with supple semi-aniline leather seats in three available colors. A special floating console with a butterfly opening lets drivers reach in and hand items back to rear passengers without having to close the lid. It’s a small convenience, but indicative of the intuitive ergonomics present throughout the 2021 Rogue’s interior spaces.
