New 2011 Nissan Rogue at Criswell Nissan in Germantown, MD

Newly Redesigned for 2011
2011 Nissan Rogue is the best SUV for if you believe a compact crossover that ventures off the beaten path isn’t necessarily going off-road.
The All-New Nissan Rogue has undergone a drastic makeover for the year 2011! Significant changes of the new Nissan Rogue include a restyled exterior design, innovative storage areas, and high levels of interior functionality!
The 2011 Nissan Rogue gets styling updates inside and out, but true to its name, holds onto a maverick streak that sets it apart from the competition. It has just one engine – a four-cylinder – and an unorthodox transmission, makes no pretense of off-road prowess, and emphasizes sporty handling over interior opulence. A restyled front end and a revamped dashboard – including this vehicle’s first navigation system and USB interface – highlight the 2011 Rogue changes.
The 2011 Nissan Rogue gets a subtly restyled nose thanks to a new grille and fascia, a freshened side view courtesy of chrome-accented door moldings, and a livelier tail with the addition of a rear spoiler.
This five-passenger four-door comes by its crossover credentials honestly. It’s based on the same unibody platform that underpins the Nissan Sentra compact car but crosses into SUV territory by virtue of its wagon body, elevated ride height, and available all-wheel drive (AWD). Rogue is among the longest vehicles in its class. It’s 5-inches longer than the 2011 Honda CR-V and 1-inch longer that the 2011 Toyota RAV4 (which offers three-rows of seats). More significant, Rogue’s wheelbase is the longest in its competitive set. |

The New Nissan Rogue comes with front- or all-wheel drive. The Rogue is equipped with a powerful 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 170-horsepower and 17 pounds-feet of torque. It mates with a continuously variable transmission, or CVT. That suggests a base price of around $21,300 for the 2011 Nissan Rogue S model with front-wheel drive and $22,700 for the S model with AWD. (Prices in this review include the manufacturer’s destination fee; Nissan’s fee for the 2010 Rogue was $800.)
Estimated starting price for the 2011 Rogue SV is $22,800 with front-wheel drive and $24,000 with AWD. Expect the 2011 Nissan Rogue Krōm to be priced from about $25,000 with front-wheel drive and from around $26,300 with AWD. |
