Vehicle Overview

Offered in base S and uplevel SL trims, the Rogue is powered by a four-cylinder engine and is available with front- or all-wheel drive. Competition includes the Toyota RAV4 and Saturn Vue, and the Rogue seats five people.

New for 2010

There are no significant changes for 2010.

Exterior

The Rogue looks a lot like its corporate brother, the Nissan Murano, especially when looking at its eggcrate grille and upward-sweeping D-pillar. For 2010, the Rogue features a new 360-Degree option package that includes privacy glass, a rearview camera, a rear spoiler and a chrome grille.

  • 16-inch steel wheels or 17-inch aluminum wheels
  • Standard power mirrors, optional heated mirrors
  • Standard chrome door handles
  • Optional front fog lamps
  • Optional xenon headlights

Interior

There's room for five in the Rogue's cabin. The driver and front passenger sit on bucket seats and face a fairly minimalist dashboard. Dash vents and control knobs are accented with silver-colored surrounds, and the instrument panel is dominated by two large gauges with orange illumination. An available flat-folding front passenger seat allows you to carry long items inside the SUV, and the second row features a 60/40-split folding bench seat.

  • Available cloth, two-tone cloth and leather seating
  • Standard air conditioning
  • Standard power windows and speed-sensitive door locks
  • Optional leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter
  • Optional Bose audio system
  • Optional Bluetooth phone connectivity
  • Optional keyless entry and ignition system

Under the Hood

The Rogue is available with front- or all-wheel drive. Steering-wheel paddle shifters are available.

  • 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 175 pounds-feet of torque
  • Continuously variable automatic transmission

Safety

Standard safety features include:

  • Side-impact and side curtain airbags
  • Electronic stability and traction control
  • Standard smart key that immobilizes the engine in an attempted theft
