About the 2017 Rogue Sport
The new Rogue Sport shares many of the design, utility and technology attributes that have made Rogue Nissan’s best-selling vehicle in the United States. It is slightly smaller, sportier and more affordable than Rogue and designed for younger, urban SUV buyers. These buyers are looking for much more space than a compact sedan, while still seeking the maneuverability and fun-to-drive feel that Rogue Sport delivers.
The exterior of the Rogue Sport features a distinctive “emotional geometry” design that combines a progressive, compact body with powerful fender volume and an aggressive, wheel-oriented stance that conveys a feeling of robust agility.
Like Rogue, the new Rogue Sport offers a comprehensive suite of Nissan Intelligent Safety Shield technologies. The list includes Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Forward Emergency Braking (FEB), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP).
Among the available comfort and convenience features are leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately) and available Divide-N-Hide® Cargo System, RearView Monitor, Siri® Eyes Free, NissanConnectSM with Navigation and Mobile Apps, and 7.0-inch color touch-screen display. Also available is the advanced Around View® Monitor (AVM) with Moving Object Detection (MOD) and Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC).
All 2017 Rogue Sport models come with a standard 141-horsepower 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder engine mated to an Xtronic transmission with Eco Mode switch and a 4-wheel independent suspension.
The 2017 Rogue Sport is offered in front-wheel and intuitive all-wheel-drive configurations, and in three well-equipped grade levels – S, SV and SL. Rogue Sport is assembled in Kyushu, Japan.
