Dynamic performance is a given in the 2025 Nissan Rogue. This athletic crossover SUV blends sport-tuned performance with family-oriented standard features. Learn why the Rogue is a great vehicle for family adventures and everyday suburban errands before you visit your Nissan dealer.

The first-tier S model is equipped with an FWD drivetrain and a lightweight 1.5-liter three-cylinder motor that provides an output of 201 horsepower and 225 lb.-ft of torque. The S trim has an estimated fuel economy of 30 MPG in urban areas, 37 MPG on the freeway, and 33 MPG combined. This model can also tow up to 1,500 lbs., which is ideal for smaller trailers and boats. This model has responsive handling and soft riding experience because of the independent front and rear suspension system that easily softens the feel of rough roads. The Rogue comes with Intelligent Trace Control, a brake-actuated limited-slip differential that senses when to turn on the anti-lock braking system and pumps the automatic brakes to improve cornering stability and handling on slippery roads.

The Rogue S has a dedicated cargo area of 36.5 cubic feet, which can easily accommodate four or five large suitcases, a cooler and road trip supplies, camping gear, or even moving boxes. The cargo area can expand when the rear seats are folded. The rear passenger seat can fold with a 60/40 split, depending on how many passengers you have or the type of cargo you’re carrying.

The five-passenger S model comes with push-button ignition so you can quickly start up the motor when you have the proximity key fob in the vehicle. In addition to push-button start, the proximity key gives drivers a couple of ignition options, such as twisting the ignition switch. This model also has bi-LED headlights so you can select the best lighting for your specific driving conditions.

One of the most unique driver-assistance systems for the base Rogue is Predictive Brake Assist. This feature works by using sensors to judge your tailgating distance and compare that distance to your driving speed to determine how much brake force is required to bring the SUV to a complete stop to avoid a collision. Features like cruise control, rear parking sensors, and a blind spot warning alert are also standard. Nissan places a lot of importance on collision prevention with standard Forward and Rear Collision Systems. The rear collision avoidance system combines cross-traffic alerts with automatic braking to spot a rear-end collision before it happens. The frontal collision system blends pedestrian detection and left-turn intersection collision detection with automatic emergency braking to avoid an accident. For suburban drivers, the Rogue is a great SUV since it can handle easy suburban traffic and also haul heavy loads.
