Nissan Rogue Sport

Measuring a foot shorter than the familiar Rogue, the new Rogue Sport gives Nissan a smaller SUV to bridge the gap between the Juke and Rogue. All trims use the same pleasant, though not overly-powerful, 141-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission. The Sport handles responsively and rides in a civilized manner, with cabin noise kept to reasonable levels. Connectivity features include the available NissanConnect navigation/app system with a 7.0-inch color touch screen and Siri Eyes Free. Plus, the Sport offers a 360-degree view camera, which is helpful for negotiating tight parking spaces. New for the 2018.5 model is that automatic emergency braking and forward-collision warning are standard. These systems are only optional on earlier 2018 models.
