Start with what the Nissan Rogue is: a 5-door SUV with Petrol engine, built from 2007, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. What it meant takes a little longer.
The background
The Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Nissan. It made its debut in October 2007 for the 2008 model year.
Beginning in 2013 for the 2014 model year, the model has been merged with the X-Trail sold outside the North American market, making them identical. As of 2023, the Rogue was manufactured at the Nissan Smyrna Assembly Plant in Tennessee, United States and at the Nissan Motor Kyushu plant in Kanda, Fukuoka, Japan. Between August 2014 and March 2020, it was also built at the Renault Samsung Motors plant in Busan, South Korea under contract.
The engineering
The engine is Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. On the scales it comes to 3529 lb. Drive goes through a CVT. The wheelbase is 105.9 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
In the Nissan line-up the Nissan Rogue has a clear place: it replaced the Nissan Mistral / Nissan X-Trail / Nissan Xterra; the factory was Kanda, Fukuoka (Nissan Motor Kyushu), Japan. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Hyundai i30, the Audi R8. Its Nissan stablemates include the Nissan N6 and the Nissan N7.
Owning one today
Buying one now means $7,400–$36,000 for a typical example, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,408–$9,133 a year. Insurance sits around $1,020–$2,250 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
