Rogue Once Again Puts the 'Fun' in Functionality

The Nissan Rogue crossover SUV with a new refreshed exterior appearance, refined interior, added technology and convenience features and one other thing – more of the same high-value, high-fun attitude that has made Rogue one of the most popular compact crossover SUVs in class since its introduction few years ago.

Exterior Design

Rogue's exterior is designed to present an image of modern sophistication. Its dramatic styling includes dynamically arched forms and powerful rear shoulder lines. Rogue is built on Nissan’s new "C" platform, which provides high body stiffness with extensive use of high-strength steel utilized to reduce body weight. Rogue features a 105.9-inch wheelbase and 182.9-inch overall length – among the longest in class, compared with leading small crossover competitors – providing amplerear seat proportions and one of the longest interior lengths. The body also features large front door openings for easy ingress and egress. The extensive redesign for 2011 adds to its sporty feel, while also enhancing Rogue's upscale appearance.'Unlike some compact SUVs in the class, there's nothing toy-like about Rogue,' said Castignetti. 'From the chrome accents to its available 18-inch wheels, Rogue has a refined, grown-up style to go with its sporty look and performance.' The body also features large front door openings for easy ingress and egress.

The Rogue S Krom™ Edition includes a unique grille embedded in the aggressive front fascia with integrated fog lights, a boldly styled rear sport fascia with integrated center-exit exhaust, 18-inch brilliant-finish aluminum-alloy wheels, integrated body-colored rear spoiler and body-colored power outside mirrors.
