The Nissan Rogue continues being a favorite among families who appreciate the exterior style of the compact SUV along with the spacious and upscale interior. Even in the lower trim levels, the vehicle comes with many user-friendly standard technology and safety features, which is also a plus. Fuel-efficiency is another attractive quality found in the Rogue.
All of the models have a four-cylinder engine that generates up to 170 horsepower. The Rogue's impressive fuel economy comes despite the fact that the SUV has an automatic continuously variable transmission.
Front-wheel drive is standard. But vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive is an option. By adding a towing package, the SUV capably hauls up to 1,102 pounds. But, AWD does drop the fuel-efficiency slightly. The vehicle handles well in town and out on the open road. Riding in the SUV is surprisingly smooth despite the Nissan Rogue's smaller size.
