Performance
The Rogue's 1.5-liter Turbocharged engine generates 210 lb.-ft of torque. That beats the Forester's 176 lb.-ft and RAV4's 184 lb.-ft, for snappier acceleration. The engine also enables a superior fuel economy for drivers in Charlotte.
When equipped with available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, the Rogue can take on tough weather and road conditions. Its AWD system can adapt to changing conditions, and when heading off the beaten path near Raleigh, the Rogue's generous 8.2 inches of ground clearance and selectable off-road mode help you navigate rough terrain.
Interior
The Nissan Rogue offers upscale amenities and smart versatility. The Rogue's Zero Gravity seats provide long-distance comfort and support. The EZ FLEX seating and the Divide-N-Hide cargo system allow you to quickly reconfigure the interior to accommodate various combinations of passengers and gear.
With up to 74.1 cubic feet of cargo room, Rogue offers more space than RAV4 to load up supplies for that next home improvement project in Burlington. The motion-activated liftgate makes loading a breeze when your hands are full. Available tri-zone automatic climate control, heated seats, and a heated steering wheel enhance comfort for everyone on board.
Rogue Leads in Connectivity Tech
The Nissan Rogue also comes out ahead when it comes to advanced connectivity features. NissanConnect brings an eight-inch touchscreen, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. You can easily access your smartphone's maps, media, and messages on the go.
An available Bose Premium Audio System and wireless charging pad are other modern tech conveniences in the Rogue you won't find on Forester or RAV4. And with the NissanConnect Services app, you can remotely lock/unlock your Rogue, flash the lights, or sound the horn with your phone to quickly locate it in a crowded Raleigh parking lot.
