2024 Nissan Rogue: A Glimpse into the Future of Crossovers
October 16 2023,
Nissan is introducing a class-exclusive Google built-in interface in its 2024 Rogue SL and Platinum trims, elevating the realm of in-car technology. This infotainment system utilizes a 12.3-inch HD colour touchscreen, integrating well-known Google apps directly into the vehicle's dashboard. Uniquely, the system functions independently of a mobile device, allowing users to access features such as Google Maps and Google Play without pairing a phone. Moreover, existing Google Account information, like saved addresses, syncs with the vehicle’s touchscreen, streamlining navigation.
iPhone and Android users aren’t excluded, as Rogue’s lower trims—S and SV—include an 8-inch touchscreen offering standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with AM/FM and SiriusXM. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can also be used in the SL and Platinum trims, giving drivers choices in connectivity.
Engine and Performance Updates
The 2024 Rogue S trim comes with a new standard engine—a 1.5-liter Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) paired with an Xtronic CVT. This engine provides a balanced combination of power and efficiency, delivering 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. An Idle Stop/Start feature is integrated to improve fuel efficiency further.
Design and Safety Enhancements
The exterior of the Rogue has been revamped, featuring new front and rear fascias, an updated Nissan V-motion grille, and new inner taillights. The interior also gets a facelift with new colors and textures. For example, the Rogue SL grade has newly standard features like a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a wireless device charging pad.
Nissan is continuing its focus on safety by including the Nissan Safety Shield 360 as a standard feature across all grades. This suite of safety technologies includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection and Blind Spot Warning among other features. The Rogue SV, SL, and Platinum grades offer enhanced drive assistance features like ProPILOT Assist and ProPILOT Assist with Navi-Link.
Conclusion
The 2024 Nissan Rogue is set to go on sale in Canadian dealerships in early 2024, with full pricing details yet to be announced. The upcoming model continues to build on its strong foundations of family-friendly design, flexible storage space, and technological advancements, making it a key player in the competitive crossover market. With four feature-packed grades—S, SV, SL, and Platinum—and standard all-wheel drive, the Rogue is poised to maintain its best-selling status.
