'Special Edition' (replaced 'Krom' edition) adds 16-inch alloy wheels, a premium audio system, satellite radio, privacy glass, rear view monitor and fog lamps to the S trim. 2012 model year update Ĭhanges to 2012 Rogue includes new aluminum-alloy wheels design, sport mode to the CVT, one new exterior color (Graphite Blue), Around View Monitor for SL package, which creates a composite top-view of the vehicle's surrounding and displays it through a LCD monitor. On 23 November 2011, Nissan announced a recall of 7,365 2011 Rogue vehicles for improperly manufactured electric power steering (EPS) assist units, which over time could cause the power assist feature to fail, causing a loss of power assist and an increased risk of an accident. Nissan vehicles with Garmin Navi 750, 760 and 765 GPS devices, which included Rogue sold with the Garmin devices between 20, were recalled in 2010 due to overheating. The SV is available with an optional SL package, adding leather seats, touch screen navigation system and 18' alloy wheels, along with other premium features. The EPA gives both a combined rating of 27 mpg, but during my week I only saw 22.3 mpg combined in the smaller Rogue Sport.Nissan Rogue 'Krōm' used as a Boro taxi in New York City

Despite the Rogue Sport's smaller engine and size, in all-wheel drive it's only 1 mpg better in the city and nets the same on the highway as the standard Rogue. Not only is that less than much of the competition, it's barely better than the larger Rogue. My all-wheel drive tester gets an EPA fuel rating of just 24 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway. Somehow, this tiny little engine gets pretty miserable gas mileage. Further, the Subaru, Jeep and Honda can be had with a manual transmission while the Rogue Sport is two-pedal only. At 141 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque, the engine offers similar outputs to that of its Honda HR-V and Toyota C-HR classmates, but the Subaru Crosstrek offers a bit more power, while the Jeep Renegade can be had with 180 ponies.

There is only one engine on tap for the Rogue Sport, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder powerplant mated to a continuously variable transmission.
