The new Rogue, which is projected to overtake the popular Altima sedan as Nissan's top-selling vehicle in the U.S. market, features an extensive list of enhancements for the new model year – including revised exterior and interior styling, new convenience features such as an available Motion-Activated Liftgate, new available Nissan Safety Shield technologies and the first-ever Rogue Hybrid. The new Rogue is the latest addition to Nissan's "Year of the Truck," joining Armada, Pathfinder and the TITAN family of pickups. "Following three straight years of consecutive growth, we project Rogue will approach 300,000 units in the current fiscal year, nearly doubling sales since 2012," said Muñoz. "For 2017, we're turning up the heat on the competition with enhancements designed to keep Rogue at the top of compact SUV buyers' wish lists." Muñoz also spoke of Nissan's strong presence in the critical Miami and Florida markets. Florida ranks third in total Nissan sales, behind number one California and closing in on second place Texas. Nissan's 58 dealers in Florida employ more than 3,000 people in Florida, including more than 400 employees in the Miami area alone. The top selling models in Florida are Rogue, Altima and Sentra, in that order. "Nissan is one of the top automotive brands with Hispanic buyers and multicultural buyers in general, fueling Nissan's current strong sales growth nationwide," added Muñoz. "Sales to the Hispanic community represent a full 21 percent of Nissan's total sales, well above the industry average." The Hispanic population is projected to continue as the fastest growing segment in the country, growing from 16 percent of the population in 2010 to 24 percent by 2040. Nissan has been a longtime leader in Hispanic community outreach on both the local community and national levels. Programs supported by Nissan range from partnering with the League of United Latin American Citizens' (LULAC) National Service Centers to encourage Latino students pursuit of STEM programs, to a decade-long sponsorship of the annual Latin GRAMMY Awards. "Despite our success in the segment, we are accelerating our efforts to build authentic relationships with the Hispanic community. We're pleased to be debuting the new Rogue here in Miami in the heart of this critical market," added Muñoz.
