Nissan Rogue Generations

When the Nissan Rogue first released for the 2008 model year, the automotive world looked very different. The market was dominated by oversized, gas-guzzling SUVs, which quickly came out of favor in the following years. The Nissan Rogue made a statement with its compact frame, spacious interior, and fuel-efficient engine. Since then the Nissan Rogue has become one of the best-selling crossovers in America. Below we've highlighted some of the key differences and features on the Nissan Rogue, which you can shop for today at AutoNation USA.

1st Generation Rogue (2008-2013)

Nissan introduced the Rogue for the 2008 model year, featuring the traditional SUV styling in a more compact frame than its contemporaries. By switching from body-on-frame to a unibody style, the Nissan Rogue was drastically lighter than most other SUVs on the market, helping lower weight and increase efficiency. This new design also allowed for car-derived features, such as FWD and AWD drivetrains. This was also quite a safe vehicle, receiving a "Good" crash test rating from the NHTSA.



2nd Generation Rogue (2014-2020)

The second generation Nissan Rogue saw relatively mild changes to the basic shape, but featured a striking facelift, bringing it in line with Nissan's other offerings. This new design also allowed for an optional third-row of rear seats. for up to seven passengers in total. Additional upgrades like disc brakes, new suspension, ABS brakes, and electronic-assist steering became standard, with later model years seeing optional extras like NissanConnect and backup cameras.



3rd Generation Rogue (2021-Present)

Arriving for the 2021 model year, the third and most recent generation Rogue has been completely redesigned, featuring a striking and even aggressive appearance. The base engine option is now a turbocharged three-cylinder, making an impressive 201hp despite its small displacement. Convenience features have also been improved, with standard backup cameras and Apple CarPlay, as well as more modern LED lighting all around.

In addition to three generations of Nissan Rogue, and over 15 years of production, there are a variety of popular trim levels to choose from.
