Offering fuel-efficient performance and rugged versatility in a compact design, the 2026 Nissan Rogue is an adventurous crossover SUV that has much to admire, including these five reasons to come take it out for a test drive.

1. A Sporty and Fuel-Savvy Engine
Powering this edition of the Rogue is a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine that delivers 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. This engine gets excellent mileage, up to 32 MPG in combined city/highway mileage. It also pairs with the Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which provides a more natural shifting feel and lets you use steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters in select trims.
2. Versatility for Different Scenarios
Constantly monitoring traction while you’re driving, the vehicle’s available Intelligent AWD system can adapt to surface changes in seconds by directing torque to the wheels where it’s most needed. This system works alongside the standard selectable terrain modes feature, which lets you toggle between up to four different modes, depending on the trim level: Eco, Snow, Sport, and Off-Road. Every model also comes with a limited-slip differential for extra traction.
3. A First-Class Interior Experience
The vehicle’s interior combines convenience with luxury and features dual-zone automatic climate control in lower trims, while upper trims have tri-zone control and comfortable seats with available thermal settings and both lumbar support and memory for the driver’s seat. The bench seat in the rear of the cabin reclines and split-folds, an auto-dimming rearview mirror is available, and while the base trim level has a urethane steering wheel, others have a TailorFit leatherette one with an available heating setting.
4. Advanced Technology Throughout
This SUV’s advanced technology features include highlights like NissanConnect. This multi-function infotainment system pairs with a full-color 8-inch touchscreen in all trims other than the Platinum trim, which has a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, the 10-speaker Bose Premium Audio System, and available navigation assistance. Multiple USB ports and a 12-volt power outlet come standard, though select trims also offer an available wireless charger. Standard driver-assist highlights include Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Auto High-Beam Headlamps.
5. Convenient Cargo Accommodations
Hauling cargo is made easy with the available Divide-N-Hide Cargo System, which is a configurable cargo-floor system that lets you hide items in separate storage compartments. For bulky cargo, you have up to 74.1 cubic feet of space available with the rear seat folded down and the hands-free liftgate on upper trims makes loading simple. What you can’t fit inside, you can put in cargo boxes outside with the standard integrated roof rails, available crossbars, and 165-pound roof-load rating.
