The 1.5 VC-Turbo engine runs on 201 horsepower. The Rogue SUV features a total of five drive modes—namely Auto, Eco, Sport, Snow, and Off-Road - where Auto, Eco, and Sport are standard modes. The remaining modes come with the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. Nissan’s SUV lets its driver carry luggage in 74.1 cubic feet of cargo space.

A panoramic moonroof lets passengers enjoy not just the side view but also the view above, which is especially fascinating for children. The 12.3-inch entertainment unit is completely touch-based and efficiently handles the Bose Premium Audio System.

The driver can link it to the MyNissan App for a better experience. The mobile application by Nissan helps drivers find their cars, check their status, and do much more, such as remote engine starting.
