2026 Nissan Rogue®: Turbo Power, AWD, and Space for 5
The 2026 Nissan Rogue® is built around the things compact SUV owners tend to need most: space for 5, decent cargo capacity, strong fuel economy, and enough choice in the range to avoid paying for equipment you don't need. Every model gets the same 201 hp VC-Turbo® engine, while select trims offer Intelligent AWD. For drivers around Germantown, MD, the Rogue® also provides up to 74.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity and fuel economy reaching 29 mpg city and 36 mpg highway in select configurations.
One Engine Handles the Entire Range
Every 2026 Rogue® uses Nissan's 1.5L DOHC 12-valve VC-Turbo® 3-cylinder engine, producing 201 hp and 225 lbs. ft. of torque through an Xtronic CVT®. Front-wheel drive is offered on select trims, with Intelligent AWD available for drivers who want additional traction. AWD versions also gain Sport, Auto, Eco, Snow, and Off-Road drive modes. It's a straightforward arrangement: the engine doesn't change as you move through the range, so trim choice comes down largely to drivetrain, equipment, and cabin specification.
Five Trims Give Buyers Plenty of Choice
The lineup consists of S, SV, Dark Armor™, Rock Creek®, and Platinum. S starts with 17-inch alloy wheels and an 8-inch NissanConnect® touchscreen, while SV adds 18-inch wheels, ProPILOT Assist, and Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control. Dark Armor™ moves to 19-inch wheels, Prima-Tex® seating, and an HD Intelligent Around View® Monitor. Platinum sits at the top with quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seating, unique 19-inch wheels, a Dual Panel Panoramic Moonroof, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The differences are substantial enough that choosing a Rogue® isn't simply a question of picking progressively more equipment.
Rock Creek® Takes a Different Route
Rock Creek® is the AWD-only member of the family and is configured for drivers expecting to spend more time away from smooth pavement. It receives 17-inch dark-painted alloy wheels with all-terrain tires, a unique front fascia and grille, leatherette-appointed seating, and an Intelligent Around View® Monitor with Off-Road Mode. That camera system supplies multiple viewing angles to help spot obstacles around the vehicle when visibility from the driver's seat is limited. Despite the all-terrain tires and AWD hardware, Rock Creek® is rated at up to 27 mpg city and 32 mpg highway.
The Dashboard Can Get Quite Sophisticated
Available equipment includes a 12.3-inch NissanConnect® touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital dashboard, Head-Up Display, wireless Apple CarPlay® integration, and Google built-in. Equipped models provide direct access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and compatible apps through the vehicle. A NissanConnect® Wi-Fi hotspot is also available for compatible devices, while ProPILOT Assist provides additional driver support during highway travel.
Safety Shield® 360 Comes Standard
Nissan Safety Shield® 360 brings 6 technologies as standard: Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist. Available camera technology includes the 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor, capable of creating a virtual 360-degree perspective with multiple selectable viewing angles. That's particularly handy in an SUV, where curbs and low obstacles have an irritating habit of disappearing from sight at precisely the wrong moment.
There's Room Behind the Seats, Too
The Rogue® seats 5 and offers up to 74.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the rear seats folded. A 60/40 split-folding second row allows passengers and longer cargo to share the cabin, while the available Divide-N-Hide® cargo system provides multiple arrangements for organizing or concealing items beneath the cargo area.
