2017 Nissan Rogue SV

The 2017 Rogue is a compact SUV that slots between the smaller Juke and the larger Murano, offering a blend of efficiency and family-friendly space. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape, standing out with its available hybrid powertrain and flexible seating. The Rogue drives with a light, nimble feel that makes city errands easy, though the base engine can feel strained when climbing steep grades. Inside, the Rogue offers a spacious cabin with a clever divide-and-hide cargo system, plus available third-row seating for occasional extra passengers. Available safety tech includes blind spot warning, lane departure warning, and a surround-view camera, which owners praise for boosting confidence. Heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the Divide-N-Hide cargo system set the SV apart from the base S trim. Its 2.5L I4 makes 170 horsepower and pairs with a CVT that favors smoothness over urgency, earning 29 mpg combined.
