2014 NISSAN Rogue 2.5L FWD CVT (170 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The 2014 Nissan Rogue was actually the same car as the one sold under the X-Trail nameplate in Europe.

It was Nissan’s weapon on the SUV market, one of the biggest in the US. The new model was presented to the world with an optional 3rd row (7 seats), a new cargo system, and new on-board tech like the Around View Monitor that eased parking.

Another premiere for the Rogue in the US was the fact that it was the first car to use Renault-Nissan’s Common Module Family platform that was accountable for a couple of the group’s models.

As for under the hood tech, the new cars had an Xtronic CVT transmission that was even more efficient than the one on the previous generation. Since this car was meant for the US alone, it had only one engine available with 182 HP coming from a 2.5-liter engine that could be hooked up either to an all-wheel-drive system or a four-wheel-drive one.

The Rogue was available with two trim levels, S and SV. The S came with standard cruise control, air conditioning, 16-inch steel wheels, a trip computer and an AUX function. An optional package was available, adding 16-inch alloys, foglamps, a Bluetooth connection, steering wheel audio controls and a 4.3-inch audio screen.

The SV version included the above mentioned features and added 17-inch alloys, upgraded upholstery and keyless ignition.
