Nissan Rogue

Cargo Capacity

Rogue: With the second row of seats folded down, Rogue is good for an even 70.0 cubic feet of cargo space. Flipped up and ready to accept three passengers abreast, a total of 39.3 cubes is yours for the taking behind the rear seat. The Rogue also has a “Divide and Hide” cargo system with a hidden underfloor storage compartment and the ability to set up a shelf in the trunk to keep your things separate or hide them under the shelf.

Powertrains

Rogue: Nissan makes decision time easy in the Rogue by offering a single powertrain: a 2.5L inline-four producing 170 horsepower and roughly an equal amount of torque. Its transmission type is a CVT, programmed here with Sport and Eco modes. Multi-port fuel injection isn’t as modern as some direct-injected units but does allow the engine to operate safely on cheap 87-octane fuel.

Cabin Space

Rogue: Volume of the passenger compartment in the smaller of these two machines measures 105.8 cubic feet. Headroom up front is an agreeable 41.6 inches but note that the addition of a moonroof carves 2.1 inches from that quota, more than enough to be noticed by tall drivers. Headroom in the back shrinks to 38.5 inches thanks to a slightly sloping roofline – and yes, the glass roof option eats a couple of inches back here, too. The Rogue used to be available with a third row, but that option has been discontinued.
