Nissan's ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving mode is offered as an option on the Rogue SL and is standard on the Platinum trim. The 2023 Rogue comes with a host of standard driver-assistance features to help it compete with well-equipped rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 and the Subaru Forester. Three-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel are all available features. Cloth seating is standard, but the midrange SV model can be had with optional faux-leather upholstery the upscale SL and Platinum Rogues get genuine leather, the latter's being a semi-aniline hide with quilted stitching. Thoughtful storage cubbies, a bi-level dashboard, and a squared-off shift knob are rich-looking design elements that improve usability and give the interior a modern flair. The Rogue's interior borrows styling cues from both the Altima family sedan and the Sentra compact sedan. For more information about the Rogue's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. On our 75-mph highway fuel economy route, we recorded a disappointing 31 mpg in our all-wheel-drive Platinum test vehicle. Going with all-wheel drive reduces those estimates down to 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway and adding the top-spec Platinum trim reduces the highway number further to 34 mpg. With the turbocharged three-cylinder engine onboard, the Rogue is rated for up to 30 mpg city and 37 mpg highway. 2022 Nissan Rogue Adds VC-Turbo Three-Cylinder.Tested: Rogue's Novel Engine Requires Trade-Offs.On the road, the Rogue delivers a compliant ride that's agreeable for commuting and road-tripping, but its blasé cornering attitude hasn't earned it any fans among our staff. The turbocharged three-cylinder managed to coax the Rogue to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds, only a 0.4-second improvement over the 2021 model. But at our test track, its acceleration wasn't much quicker than the 2021 we tested with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder. We criticized the 2021 Rogue for its lackadaisical acceleration, and during our brief test drive of the new turbo three, the compact crossover felt perkier. When it launched as a redesigned model in 2021, the Rogue carried over the lethargic nonturbo 2.5-liter four-cylinder from the previous-generation SUV. The inline-three is mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive all-wheel drive is optional. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceĪll 2023 Rogue models are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder that makes 201 horsepower. And we'd spring for the SV Premium package, which adds a panoramic sunroof, a power-operated rear liftgate, roof rails, and faux-leather upholstery. It adds niceties such as 18-inch aluminum wheels, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a 360-degree exterior camera system, and Nissan's ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving mode. The mid-level SV model offers the best mix of features for the money.
