Capability, efficiency, and style—Nissan’s Rogue has it all, making it perfect for everyday driving in the city or roughing it in the great outdoors. The compact crossover SUV is also filled with creature comforts and advanced technology, such as the Advanced Drive-Assist Display and Nissan Safety Shield 360 safety suite. Here’s your introduction to the 2023 Nissan Rogue!
Power and Performance
Powering every Rogue model is the robust 1.5L DOHC 12-valve VC-Turbo three-cylinder engine. VC stands for Nissan’s innovative variable compression technology, which uses a multi-link system to continuously adjust the engine’s compression ratio. This results in the perfect balance between power and efficiency, allowing the vehicle to produce an impressive 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque while achieving an EPA rating of up to 37 MPG highway.
The VC-Turbo motor partners with the slick Xtronic continuously variable transmission to smoothly and quickly deliver its power. The transmission features wide gear ratios that promise ample torque no matter where you are in the rev range. Another great advantage of the Rogue’s powertrain is the available Intelligent All-wheel Drive for every trim. This system seamlessly shifts between AWD for rugged terrain and 2WD while on pavement for added efficiency.
All-New Midnight Edition
For the 2023 model year, the Rogue’s already handsome styling can now be further enhanced with Nissan’s head-turning Midnight Edition package. It features a darkened color palette with its black V-Motion grille, black bumpers, a black rear diffuser, and satin black roof badging. The exterior look is completed by 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels finished in glossy black paint. Inside Midnight Edition trims, you’ll find stylish charcoal leatherette seats.
Interior and Amenities
Despite its value-oriented price, the Rogue offers buyers a well-crafted and sophisticated passenger cabin. Its spacious interior provides generous space, with nearly 40 inches of legroom for passengers seated in the rear. Besides providing 36.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, the available Divide-N-Hide storage system uses cleverly designed adjustable shelves that act as dividers and can be configured in a multitude of ways.
The family will be looking forward to any trip thanks to a slew of great amenities, including available tri-zone automatic climate control, a dual-panel panoramic moonroof, and luxurious quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery.
Technology
While an 8-inch Nissan Connect infotainment touchscreen comes standard, the Platinum trim comes with a 9-inch display. Smartphone integration, Bluetooth hands-free technology, and SiriusXM radio are all offered by this system. Keeping an eye on the vehicle’s status is even easier with the help of the Advanced Drive-Assist Display, a 4.3-inch LCD screen that clearly shows you important information like speed, directions, and incoming messages.
Giving you even greater peace of mind while on the road, the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite keeps you safe with a bevy of standard driver assists. These assists include a forward pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, automated emergency braking, blind spot and lane departure warnings, and a rear cross-traffic alert.
With its awesome performance and versatility, the Rogue is definitely a crossover SUV that you’ll want to consider! Head over to Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers today and test drive the 2023 model!
