2017 Nissan Rogue

Similar to the Big Mac, the Nissan Rogue is a well-known seller, more expensive than its top rivals. Its severe lack of driving characteristics and underwhelming performance are somewhat compensated by a spacious and pleasant interior, above-average storage capacity, and a fuel-efficient gas engine. It is the only vehicle in its class that provides an optional third row, and it is one of two cars that offer a hybrid type (the other being the Toyota RAV4). In this article, we will focus on the 2017 Nissan Rogue.

Despite this, the Nissan Rogue is a middling meal deal with price and performance that will please the majority.

Overview of the 2017 Nissan Rogue:

There are three trim levels available in the 2017 NISSAN ROGUE:

2017 Rogue S:

This is Rogue’s basic model edition. It has a plethora of features that will satisfy any driver. The car has cloth seats with a 40/20/40-split rear bench seat that slides and reclines. In addition, it includes rear vents for air conditioning, a cargo management system Divide-N-Hide®, a 5-inch color infotainment display with an integrated rearview camera and voice commands for calling, messaging, and music selection.

2017 Rogue SV:

This variant, which is a step up from the S trim, includes specified technology to increase the convenience of every journey you take in your new 2017 Nissan Rogue. It is also available in a hybrid. It consists of Auto-dimming headlights, Dual-zone temperature control, and standard heated front seats. The driver’s seat is power-adjustable. A keyless entry, push-button start, and remote ignition are all available. A Rear cross-traffic alert with a blindspot warning is also included.

2017 Rogue SL:

The top-of-the-line SL trim comes with several luxury amenities that are only optional in other trims. It is also available in a hybrid. Fog lights, automatic high beams, and 18-inch wheels are standard. A Hands-free liftgate and driver seat memory features are available with leather upholstery. The steering wheel is heated and the car has a high-quality audio system. You will also find a 7-inch color infotainment touchscreen with built-in navigation, an app suite, and a surround-view monitor.

Performance

The Rogue’s base powertrain is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 170 hp coupled to a continuously variable automatic gearbox (CVT). When you apply high throttle to the Rogue, the CVT’s slow reaction and syrupy power delivery lead the engine to howl; this powertrain seems to drag the vehicle rather than pull it. The hybrid variant combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to produce a combined 176 horsepower.

Both powertrains are available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. You don’t need to drive to a test track to realize that the Rogue is sluggish; just driving around a parking lot will give you the information you need. The rate of acceleration is slower than that of the class leaders. The Rogue’s soft suspension gives a comfortable ride though. Its spongy ride makes it difficult to maintain overall control, leading the crossover to bob and lurch through curves at even moderate speeds. Furthermore, while moving along the highway in a straight path, it does not seem to be rooted or steady.

Fuel Economy

The 4-cylinder engine of the 2017 Nissan Rogue, along with the variable automatic gearbox, results in excellent fuel efficiency ratings. It joins the Toyota RAV4 hybrid in a new level of vehicles due to its new Hybrid version. The current front-drive 2017 Rogue has been certified by the EPA to get 26 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the interstate, and 29 mpg on the highway combined. The Rogue achieves 25/32/27 mpg when equipped with an all-wheel drive. The Environmental Protection Agency rates hybrid vehicles at 33/35/34 mpg with front-wheel drive and 31/34/33 mpg with all-wheel drive.

Interior

Inside, the 2017 Rogue’s form-fitting “zero gravity” front seats have been updated with new cloth seat covers, and in the Platinum Reserve package, they offer pleated leather. In addition to the D-shaped steering wheel, a new leather-booted sport mode shifter, as well as a revised center console, are all new features for this model year. The heated steering wheel and memory settings for the driver’s seat and external mirrors are available in the Rogue for the first time. The Rogue’s optional heated front seats, available in either leather or fabric, have a Quick Comfort function that quickly distributes heat, beginning from the thighs and hips. With the new remote-start feature, owners may start the Rogue’s engine from the comfort of their own homes, allowing them to warm up the cabin on a chilly day or cool it down on a hot one. In addition, this year’s Rogue has rear doors that open unusually wide, up to 77 degrees, making backseat access much more convenient.

Storage and cargo

Everyone has luggage, and they run out of places to store it. The Divide and Hide Cargo System are standard in the 2017 Nissan Rogue (removed when the optional third-row seat is ordered). It includes a pair of sturdy movable panels that allow you to flip, fold, and otherwise configure the cargo bay in 18 different ways while preventing your belongings from rolling around. There are two levels to this clever design, including a cloth cover that looks like a window shade.

Run-Flat Tires

Since the optional third-row seat takes up space that would otherwise be saved for a spare tire, Rogues fitted with run-flat tires are available. The driver can keep control over short distances at acceptable speeds when the road tire has suffered a puncture and loss of air pressure, allowing them to drive with peace of mind. It is important to note that run-flat tires have a greater ride-over-road effect and are more expensive to repair than regular tires.

Safety Features of the 2017 Nissan Rogue

The Nissan Rogue is designed to keep everyone safe. When parking the Rogue in a crowded place, the rear-view camera will assist you in avoiding obstructions. A robust anti-lock braking system is an added peace of mind for drivers. While the standard Rogue S has a good safety record, the Rogue SV adds driving aids. You can comfortably change lanes on the highway thanks to blind-spot monitoring. While backing up, the rear cross-traffic alarm guarantees that no cars are in your path.
