The all-new Rogue crossover is the first of five new or redesigned Nissan models that will enter production in the next year. It follows Altima, Versa, Sentra and TITAN, which were all recently redesigned.

The 2021 Rogue adopts signature Nissan design elements such as the floating roof and an evolved V-motion grille and adds exciting new features such as the unique headlight shape and “U-shape” bodyside highlights. New multi-level LED headlights with an expanded illumination area are standard on all 2021 Rogue grade levels and accent the powerful front grille design. LED fog lights are standard on the Platinum grade.

Every 2021 Rogue features a standard 2.5-litre DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine with Nissan’s Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG™) system. Horsepower is rated at 181, an increase of 11 hp. Torque is increased by 6 lb.-ft. to 181 lb.-ft. The new engine includes mirror bore coating, a variable displacement oil pump, and an integrated exhaust manifold and e-VTC intake valve among other refinements.

To enhance the Rogue’s driving experience is an all-new Vehicle Motion Control System. “This is technology that does what a human can’t,” said Chris Reed, senior vice president, Research and Development, Nissan Technical Centre North America. “The all-new Vehicle Motion Control predicts what the driver is trying to do by monitoring steering, acceleration and braking. It can then step in and help to smooth things out.”

Vehicle Motion Control works in conjunction with the available enhanced Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system and Drive Mode Selector to provide four-wheel individual control, enhancing line traceability through corners – even applying a single brake to smooth out a corner.

Equipped for Canadian winters, the 2021 Rogue offers heated front seats, heated outside mirrors and a heated steering wheel fitted as standard. Heated rear seats are an option on the SV model, and a two-driver memory seat is available on the Platinum model. The available Intelligent Around View® Monitor, combined with standard Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Rear Intelligent Emergency Braking help get the day off in the right direction.

In the rear, ideal for weekend adventures, a split one-touch fold-down seat with an available remote fold feature provides versatile cargo capability. Combined with the reconfigured rear cargo area, easy-to-wash cargo liner and floor mats, available redesigned Divide-n-Hide® system, and available Motion Activated Liftgate, Rogue is designed to help families take on all of their adventures.

The all-new Rogue is the latest Nissan model to feature Nissan Safety Shield 360 standard across the entire lineup. Nissan Safety Shield 360 technologies include Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and Rear Intelligent Emergency Braking. The 2021 Rogue also offers 10 standard supplemental airbags and extended crumple zones to help protect occupants.

Nissan believes that technology should make life better, easier and more fun, so drivers can enjoy the ease of connecting without cords. Rogue offers available wireless Apple CarPlay®, which allows the driver or passenger to initiate CarPlay® while leaving their iPhone ®in their pocket, purse or bag – so driver and passengers can seamlessly transfer their music from phone to Rogue.

For 2021, ProPILOT Assist has been improved using next-generation radar and camera technology to provide smoother braking, better steering assist feel and improved detection performance when other vehicles cut into the lane.
