Refreshed 2014 Nissan Rogue unveiled

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

The 2014 Nissan Rogue made its U.S debut at the Nissan Technical center in Farmington, Mich. on Tuesday, in tandem with the 2014 Nissan X-Trail.

The five-year refresher brings in a more aggressive design, aerodynamic upgrades, a tweaked engine and drivetrain components.

A 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine powers the Rogue, producing 170 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. That is mated with the next generation Nissan Xtronic continuously variable transmission. Although power remains the same, the additional mpgs suggest economical-minded tuning. Nissan estimates 26 mpg city, 33 mpg highway and 28 mpg combined fuel economy in the four-wheel drive configuration.

From the exterior, the Rogue has aero-minded and masculine body lines that add to the well-tailored look of the redesigned SUV. Front tire air deflectors and rear tail lamp diverters add more than just a sleek appearance -- the redesigned body drops the aerodynamic coefficient of drag down 10 percent from previous years to 0.33 percent.




The refreshed 2014 Nissan Rogue is equipped with a 2.5-liter, four cylinder engine.

New driver-aiding electronics include active trace control, similar to a lane deviation warning system, active engine braking and active ride control. Standard electronic features include a 5-inch interior display with rear back-up camera. For added features, blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, and forward collision warning are offered on SV and SL models.




The 2014 Nissan Rogue in the SV and SL models come with optional third-row seating.

All three trims (S, SV, SL) include front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations.

The Rogue is rather roomy for its class. Though it falls in the compact SUV category, the 2014 Rogue is available in a three-row, seven-passenger capacity. However, the room in the rear row doesn't appear to be super comfortable for long distances. Adding to the utility, the center row rides on tracks allowing for 9 inches of fore and aft travel, as well as a tilt function. The power front driver seat is the only electronically aided seat; however, the manual adjust passenger seat is more than adequate.

The 2014 Nissan Rogue comes in with a base price of $23,350 for the front-wheel drive S trim. The SUV will be available in the U.S. in November.
