2015 Nissan Rogue SV

The 2015 Rogue is a compact crossover that slots between the smaller Juke and the larger Murano in Nissan's SUV lineup. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape in the crowded compact SUV segment. The Rogue accelerates smoothly and handles nimbly for a crossover, with a ride that's comfortable on the highway. Inside, the Rogue offers generous legroom for all passengers and a versatile cargo area with a sunken floor that keeps groceries from rolling. Available features include a rearview camera, blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, and keyless entry with push-button start. The SV sits between the base S and the top SL, adding niceties like a power driver's seat and dual-zone climate control that the S skips. Its 2.5L I4 makes 170 horsepower and pairs with a CVT and all-wheel drive, which gives it sure-footed traction in rain or light snow and returns 28 mpg combined. The SV's optional Premium Package adds a panoramic moonroof and NissanConnect with navigation, but even without it you get the RearView Monitor and Bluetooth streaming.
