A Spotlight on the 2017 Nissan Rogue
The 2017 Nissan Rogue is an affordable pick for any driver. Here are just a few features of this crossover we think you’ll love.
Power and Performance
The 2017 Nissan Rogue is available in five trims: S, SV, SL, SV Hybrid, and SL Hybrid. The first three are equipped with a 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine that delivers 170 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, while the Hybrid trims come with a 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder that reaches 141 horsepower and 144 pound-feet of torque.
All models feature an Intuitive All-Wheel Drive system that transfers just the right amount of power between the front and rear wheels in response to changing road conditions. With this powertrain, you can expect 25 mpg city/32 mpg highway in the S, SV, and SL as well as 31 mpg city/34 mpg highway in the SV and SL Hybrid.
Exterior
Adorning the exterior are LED daytime running lights and taillights, a rear spoiler, UV-reducing solar glass, variable intermittent windshield wipers, and a motion-activated liftgate. Depending on the trim, you’ll receive either 17- or 18-inch aluminum wheels with the option to upgrade to 19-inch wheels.
For all you “Star Wars” fans out there, the Nissan Rogue is also available in a “Rogue One” Limited Edition. It features signature LED headlights, black finishers, black 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, logo decals, and two exterior color options.
Interior
You’ll feel comfy inside with heated Zero Gravity front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and rear A/C vents. Plus, there’s plenty of room for everyone with seating for up to five (or seven with the Family Package).
Whether you’re hauling groceries or bulky equipment, you’ll find it easy to stow away your items with the Divide-N-Hide cargo system. Its adjustable set of shelving locks in place to hold, divide, and hide your belongings. Likewise, the EZ Flex Seating System makes it convenient to haul an item up to 8 feet in length and reach a maximum 70 cubic feet of storage space by simply adjusting the front and second-row passenger seats.
Technology
Let’s begin this list with the Advanced Drive-Assist Display with 5-inch color screen. It lets you stream music from your iPhone, monitors both your fuel economy and tire pressure, and allows you to choose between two driver-selectable modes.
Moving on to NissanConnect, this infotainment system offers up SiriusXM satellite radio, hands-free text messaging, turn-by-turn navigation, and the ability to lock/unlock your doors via your smartphone.
Finally, intelligent cruise control lets you relax without worrying about straying too close to the car ahead, while an Around View Monitor provides a 360-degree view of your surroundings for easy parking.
Safety
The 2017 Nissan Rogue has earned its TOP SAFETY PICK+ title. In fact, it features Nissan Intelligent Safety Shield Technologies such as forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, moving object detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and high beam assist.
You’ll also appreciate the impact-absorbing Zone Body construction, steel side-door guard beams, advanced air bag system, knee bolsters, and LATCH child anchors for keeping your little ones safe.
With so much to offer, you can’t go wrong with the 2017 Nissan Rogue!
