2014 Nissan Rogue SL

The Rogue is Nissan's compact SUV, the one you cross-shop with the CR-V and RAV4. It's nimble in traffic and easy to park, with a ride that's more about comfort than sport. The cabin feels roomier than the exterior suggests, and the seats are genuinely comfortable for long trips. The rear seats slide and recline, and the cargo area has a handy divided floor to keep groceries from rolling. Leather seats, the 7.0-inch navigation screen, and the Around View Monitor distinguish the SL from the SV and S trims below it. This all-wheel-drive SL uses the same 2.5L I4 as every 2014 Rogue, making 170 horsepower and returning 28 mpg combined. The SL's Bose nine-speaker system and power liftgate are standard here, so you get the premium audio and hands-free cargo access without checking any option boxes.
