At a Glance: 2010 Nissan Rogue

The Nissan Rogue crossover SUV continues to satisfy both the functional needs of the buyers and their emotional needs – including the versatility provided by a large 58 cubic feet of cargo space. For 2010, Rogue adds a new Rogue Krom™ edition to the available Rogue S and Rogue SL. Each comes equipped with a standard 170-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, Nissan’s advanced Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). All three offerings are available with an intuitive All-Wheel Drive system.

The new Rogue Krom™ edition is designed to offer a unique dimension to traditional compact sport utility vehicles with its aggressive sport styling, exclusive 17-inch wheels and a center-exit sport-tuned exhaust. Built on the solid foundation of the Rogue S, the Krom™ edition adds 17-inch brilliant finish aluminum-alloy wheels with P225/60R Continental Conti 4x4 Contact tires and a unique grille embedded in an aggressive front fascia with integrated fog lights. In the rear, the Krom™ edition includes a boldly styled sport fascia with integrated center-mounted exhaust, a body-colored rear spoiler and rear privacy glass. Body-colored power outside mirrors, a Krom™ emblem and steering wheel-mounted audio controls complete the Krom™ edition equipment modifications. The Rogue Krom™ edition is offered in just three exterior colors – Venom Red, Wicked Black and Gotham Gray.

Rogue’s interior includes a driver-oriented cockpit with available leather-appointed seating surfaces, heated seats and 6-way power driver’s seat. Versatility is enhanced by numerous convenient storage and ultra-functionality features, including an oversized glove compartment, a large center console and an innovative available rear cargo organizer. Available technology features include Nissan Intelligent Key, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, XM® Satellite Radio (XM® subscription required, sold separately) and a powerful Bose®–developed audio system with Nd® Richbass® woofer and MP3 playback.

Rogue also offers a long list of standard safety features, including front seat-mounted side impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensor for front and rear-seat outboard occupant head protection.

For 2010, Rogue S models are available with a new 360° Value Package, which includes 16- inch aluminum-alloy wheels, privacy glass, integrated rearview mirror rearview monitor, auto-dimming rearview mirror, a rear spoiler and chrome grille. Chrome door handles are now standard on all Rogue models.
