2016 NISSAN Rogue 2.5L CVT FWD (170 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The 2016 Nissan Rogue was the facelifted version of the 2014 model, which was the same car as the one sold under the X-Trail nameplate in Europe.

The big competition in that segment forced the Japanese car-maker to refresh its model after just a couple of years after the introduction of the new generation. It added more safety options, such as pedestrian detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Lane Departure Prevention. On top of that, a Forward Emergency Braking system was introduced to avoid rear-ending accidents.

The most striking exterior difference was at the front, where the grille featured two big chromed bars and a redesigned bumper. For the headlights, the 2016 model featured new Daytime Running Lights. A new pair of rectangular fog-lights was introduced in the fake air-intakes from the outer sides of the apron. The LED taillights were similar, but not the same.

The five-seat interior of the 2016 Rogue featured a driver-oriented dash and an SUV-driving position. Inside the instrument cluster, between the speedometer and tachometer, the 2016 model received a 5” color display for various functions of the car. The infotainment system was upgraded to a 7” touch-screen display. It was standard on the Sport SL trim level. The seven-seat interior was deleted from the options list. In the back, there was room for three on a split-folding bench.

The Rogue was available with a choice of front or all-wheel-drive system. It was powered by either a 2.5-liter unit or by a 2.0-liter hybrid system. Both versions were paired to an X-Tronic CVT transmission.
