2016 Nissan Rogue SV

The 2016 Rogue is a compact crossover that seats five, with an optional third row on some trims for occasional extra passengers. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape in the crowded compact SUV segment. The Rogue feels nimble in town with quick steering response, though the four-cylinder can feel strained when merging onto highways. Inside, the Rogue offers a versatile cabin with a divide-and-hide cargo system and a deep trunk well that keeps groceries from rolling around. Available safety tech includes blind spot warning, lane departure warning, and a backup camera, which owners find reassuring. The SV adds dual-zone automatic climate control, a power driver’s seat, and roof rails over the base S, while skipping the SL’s leather and premium audio. The Divide-N-Hide cargo system comes standard here, letting you split the trunk floor for tall items or hide valuables out of sight.
