The affordably priced 2026 Nissan Rogue blends terrific fuel economy with a comfortable interior and plenty of high-end tech.

</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

Veering from most other compact SUVs, the Rogue sources its punch from a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. It supplies ample power yet pulls off the impressive feat of being among the segment&#8217;s most powerful and fuel-efficient entries.
Power delivery isn’t quite as responsive or refined as others in the segment, but it&#8217;s an acceptable tradeoff. As for highway ride and urban handling, we think the Rogue&#8217;s manners are on par with the segment’s top sellers.
Impressive Fuel Economy
The Rogue’s fuel economy is an estimated 32 mpg for mixed city-and-highway driving in front-wheel-drive form. That’s more like that of a subcompact SUV than of a compact one.
It is better than the Honda CR-V’s 30 mpg, the Hyundai Tucson’s 28 mpg, or the Kia Sportage’s 28 mpg. Even with all-wheel drive, the Rogue beats those figures, delivering 31 mpg.

Stop-and-Stare Looks

Exterior

Looks are subjective, but we’ll stick out our necks to praise the Nissan Rogue as one of the better-looking compact SUVs – a view shared in many of our owners&#8217; reviews. The current third-generation Rogue debuted for the 2021 model year, sporting greater character in its exterior design than the previous generations.
A freshening just two years ago further improved things. Buyers may pick one exterior aspect that’s becoming more popular among many new vehicles: available two-tone paint. Whether it&#8217;s dressed in one color or two, we are fans of the Rogue&#8217;s styling.
If you want to crank up the design heat, we recommend the Rock Creek or Dark Armor Special Edition, with unique styling cues.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Infotainment system 
The Rogue is the first Nissan to come with Google built-in, including Google Automotive Services. We find that it simplifies operating the systems it controls. Standard in the SL and Platinum trims, it brings with it a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The entire Rogue lineup has Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration.
Front seat relief 
Nissan vehicles are known for their comfortable Zero Gravity front seats, enhanced with enough support to keep weariness at bay during long trips. We have logged some long hours in the Rogue and know firsthand how much these seats prevent fatigue.
Variable compression 
Although this is a highly specialized engine feature, variable compression involves clever engineering that helps the Rogue reconcile the conflicting aims of performance and fuel economy. It pays off in the Rogue&#8217;s great fuel economy.
Expansive rear door openings 
Yes, all compact SUVs have rear passenger doors. But the Rogue’s open a full 90 degrees. More than one of our test drivers with families noted how much easier it is loading a toddler into a child seat, thanks to the Rogue’s wide door openings.
Big door pockets 
A 36-ounce bottle will fit into any of the four doors&#8217; pockets in the Rogue compact SUV. That’s about the size of a typical water container used by hiking types.
Hands-free liftgate operation 
The powered liftgate, standard in the top two trims, opens automatically when a motion sensor is triggered. We found that when juggling a toddler and all the required toddler trappings or with an armload of other stuff, a hands-free liftgate can be a lifesaver.

Long-Haul Comfort

Interior

Seating comfort has much to do with the overall vehicle experience. In the Rogue’s case, we appreciate the NASA-inspired Zero Gravity front seats. In our experience, the longer the trip, the bigger their impact. Every trim level has reclining rear seats that split and fold in a 60/40 fashion.
At 38.5 inches, rear legroom is about average for the segment, which is plentiful. Behind the rear seat is a luggage area of 31.6 cubic feet. Folding the rear seat creates a maximum cargo area of 74.1 cubic feet. Although a couple of rivals &#8212; the Honda CR-V and Hyundai Tucson spring to mind – provide more, the Rogue’s cargo numbers are above average for the class.
Naturally, the Rogue&#8217;s finest interior belongs to the Platinum trim, which is nearly a luxury experience with features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen and semi-aniline leather seating surfaces with diamond-patterned stitching. The Rock Creek variant comes with special water-repellent simulated leather seating surfaces with contrasting red stitching. Heated front seats are also standard in this model.

KBB Editors' Overview

The 2026 Nissan Rogue is a well-balanced compact SUV featuring loads of advanced safety/driver-assist technology, comfy furnishings, and impressive fuel economy. Moreover, we think it’s darn good looking, too. What more do you need in a compact SUV? Not much, we say.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>, including the Nissan Rogue.

Optional Equipment

2026 Nissan Rogue Pricing

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

The best-selling Rogue is the SV trim by far. We always recommend passing up the base S model, spending that extra $1,000, to gain all sorts of goodies. For example, to the S content the SV adds bigger 18-inch alloy wheels, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, more audio speakers, NissanConnect remote services, additional USB ports, dual-zone automatic climate control, and proximity keyless entry with push-button start.
You can add all-wheel-drive (AWD) to any trim (S, SV, Dark Armor, and SL)  that comes standard with front-wheel drive (FWD) for $1,400.
Other top-selling compact SUVs include the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/">Toyota RAV4</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/">Hyundai Tucson</a>, all of which currently start within about $1,000 of the Rogue.
Before buying a Nissan Rogue, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. To date, the Nissan Rogue has a slightly better-than-average track record among compact SUVs for retaining its value. Remember: Recouping more money when you sell a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on your next one.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

Every Rogue derives its go from a 201-horsepower turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. In this sense, the Rogue is an outlier in a segment where most competitors offer a non-turbocharged 4-cylinder. Combined with 225 lb-ft of torque, this is among the most powerful standard engines in the segment and can motivate the Rogue to 60 mph in a respectable span of about eight seconds.
As with most other compact SUVs, front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional (standard in the Rock Creek and Platinum grades). Power runs through an automatic transmission engineered with an emphasis on fuel economy.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Nissan&#8217;s warranty coverage is typical for mainstream carmakers. The limited bumper-to-bumper coverage is for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Powertrain protection is for five years or 60,000 miles.
Safety Ratings
The <a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a> (NHTSA) gave the Rogue a maximum 5-Star overall safety rating. In the middle of the Rogue’s lifecycle, the <a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">Insurance Institute for Highway Safety</a> (IIHS) changed its testing protocol. In two new tests developed after the current generation’s launch, the Rogue posted a score of Acceptable. In several older tests, the Rogue did take the top Good score, which earned it a spot on the 2023 IIHS Top Safety Pick list.
Nissan equips the Rogue with an impressive array of advanced safety and driver-aid technologies like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, and lane-departure warning.

What's new for 2026

Topping the list of Rogue’s 2026 enhancements is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-nissan-rogue-gets-dark-armor-edition/">Dark Armor edition</a>. Slotting into the lineup above the SV grade, the Dark Armor version includes black 19-inch wheels and gloss black exterior accents (outboard mirrors, the grille, pillars, and roof rails). Other features are an HD surround-view monitor with moving object detection, and heated front seats and steering wheel. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/">Nissan</a> makes an all-new Cold Weather Package with heated seats and steering wheel available for the SV grade.
