2018 Nissan Rogue Overview

By Cars.com Editors
Vehicle Overview

What it is: The five-seat Nissan Rogue is a compact SUV with a standard four-cylinder engine and continuously variable automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available. Competitors include the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage, Subaru Forester and Toyota RAV4. Nissan also sells the smaller Rogue Sport SUV, which is covered separately in the Cars.com Research section.

New for 2018

A 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity is now standard. The SV trim level gains a motion-activated liftgate, while the range-topping SL trim adds adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection.

Nissan's ProPilot Assist driver-assist technology is available for the SL trim. Designed for highway driving, the system can help steer the Rogue to keep it centered in its lane, maintain a set following distance to a vehicle directly ahead and help manage stop-and-go traffic.

Warranty FAQs

What is a Bumper-to-Bumper warranty?

Often called a basic warranty or new-vehicle warranty, a bumper-to-bumper policy covers components like air conditioning, audio systems, vehicle sensors, fuel systems and major electrical components. Most policies exclude regular maintenance like fluid top offs and oil changes, but a few brands have separate free-maintenance provisions, and those that do offer them is slowly rising. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire faster than powertrain warranties.

What is a Powertrain warranty?

Don't be misled a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty doesn't promise a decade of free repairs for your car. It typically covers just the engine and transmission, along with any other moving parts that lead to the wheels, like the driveshaft and constant velocity joints. Some automakers also bundle seat belts and airbags into their powertrain warranties. With a few exceptions, powertrain warranties don't cover regular maintenance like engine tuneups and tire rotations.

What is included in Roadside Assistance?

Some automakers include roadside assistance with their bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranties, while others have separate policies. These programs cover anything from flat-tire changes and locksmith services to jump-starts and towing. Few reimburse incidental costs like motel rooms (if you have to wait for repairs).

What other services could be included in a warranty?

Some automakers include free scheduled maintenance for items such as oil changes, air filters and tire rotations. Some include consumables including brake pads and windshield wipers; others do not. They are typically for the first couple of years of ownership of a new car.

What does CPO mean?

A certified pre-owned or CPO car has been inspected to meet minimum quality standards and typically includes some type of warranty. While dealers and third parties certify cars, the gold standard is an automaker-certified vehicle that provides a factory-backed warranty, often extending the original coverage. Vehicles must be in excellent condition and have low miles and wear to be certified, which is why off-lease vehicles feed many CPO programs.
