2016 model year changes
The Rogue SL trim gets several notable enhancements for 2016. A forward emergency braking system has been added to help prevent accidents, while NissanConnect Services are also now standard on the SL. In addition, a Siri Eyes Free now comes with both SL trimmed Rogues as well as the Rogue SV when equipped with the Premium Package.
Competitive comparison
Affordable; high-tech features; optional third row seating; available all-wheel drive
Special features for 2016
The Nissan Rogue is a small SUV/crossover, offering a more car-like driving experience than the more hard-core Nissan Xterra. This puts the Rogue in direct competition with vehicles such as the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V, two vehicles with several generations and years of success under their belts. In order to remain competitive, Nissan has equipped the Rogue with a bevy of features and some very reasonable base prices. The Rogue starts at just over $23,000, while even the top trim model with all-wheel drive can be had for under $30,000. With available three-row seating, the Rogue is possibly one of the most versatile vehicles available at such a low price.
