Once again in 2013, the Nissan Rogue offers excellent value, while satisfying both the functional needs of the buyers and their emotional needs - which has made Rogue one of the best-selling vehicles in the Nissan lineup. It also offers an exceptional level of innovation and available technology, including being the first non-luxury vehicle in the United States to offer the unique Around View® Monitor feature - which utilizes four small superwide-angle cameras mounted on the front, side and rear of the vehicle to provide a virtual 360° view of objects around the vehicle, helping to maneuver it in tight spots.

Enhancements for the 2013 model year include a new Premium Edition (replaces the previous Premium Package), which adds front fog lights and Bose® audio system with 7 speakers and subwoofer, along with automatic air conditioning, fog lights, power moonroof, auto on/off headlights and Nissan Navigation System.
