2015 Nissan Rogue Press Kit

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com has named the 2015 Nissan Rogue one of the "10 Best All-Wheel-Drive Vehicles Under $25,000." KBB.com editors selected the Rogue due to its available third row seat and "attractive feature set," including the "very helpful" Around View Monitor, heated seats and NissanConnect^SM with Navigation and Mobile Apps.

"In what has been a brutal 2014 to 2015 winter for many across the country, the importance of having a reliable all-wheel drive vehicle is as high as ever," said Dan Mohnke, vice president, Nissan Chief Marketing Manager & Marketing Operations. "Featuring Advanced Ride Control, Active Trace Control* and Active Engine Braking among many other features, with a premium look and feel, Rogue is a solid entry in the marketplace. We are ecstatic that the Rogue has been recognized by Kelley Blue Book."

Nissan Rogue's robust exterior styling is designed to stand out in its class. The bold, sharp lines offer a sporty and confident appearance. Exterior highlights include signature LED daytime running lights, muscular front fenders and hood, body-color outside mirrors with standard integrated turn signals and rear spoiler. Also available are LED headlights, fog lights, privacy glass, roof rails, heated outside mirrors, power panoramic moonroof and a power rear liftgate.

The premium look and feel continues inside, with the interior designed to make everyday activities a little easier. Rogue's ample interior roominess offers available seven-passenger seating with the optional stadium-style, flat-fold third-row 50/50-split bench seat. The reclining 40/20/40-split second-row seat offers second row legroom of 37.9 inches and 9.0 inches of fore/aft adjustability with the EZ Flex® Seating System.

Rogue also offers the advanced Divide-N-Hide® Cargo System providing 18 adjustable variations between the cargo and occupant areas (two-row models). With the second-row seat folded down, the innovative, class-exclusive** Divide-N-Hide® Cargo System creates a flat cargo area. When more space is needed for carrying taller or bulkier items, lowering the floorboard creates a deeper cargo well.

Fuel economy is 33 mpg highway and 26 mpg city, with a combined EPA rating of 28 mpg (front-wheel drive models).

The 2015 Rogue also features a suite of confidence-inspiring dynamic technologies – with Active Trace Control, Active Engine Braking and Active Ride Control. A four-wheel independent suspension, Electric Power-assisted Steering and four-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System.
