FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Nissan Rogue that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The Rogue's turbo three-cylinder engine impresses with its output figures (201 hp, 225 lb-ft of torque), but its real calling card is fuel economy, where it's a class leader. Digging into the data, the EPA makes a distinction between the mainstream Rogue trims and the fancier SL and Platinum trims, docking the latter a single mile per gallon compared to what we're reporting here. Don't read too much into that, though; it really just means that bigger wheels and tires hurt fuel economy, which is true for every car, not just the Rogue. Notably, you can't get the Rogue with a third-row seat like in certain years past, so if you want the same basic vehicle with three rows of seats, check out the closely related Mitsubishi Outlander.
You'd think the Rogue would be one of the quicker small SUVs based on its turbocharged three-cylinder engine's power and torque, but you'd be mistaken. Surprisingly, this Nissan isn't much quicker than its Mitsubishi Outlander platform-mate, which uses a garden-variety four-cylinder without a turbo. The Outlander can tow 500 more pounds, too.
