The 2023 Nissan Rogue
September 28 2022,
For the Nissan Rogue in 2023, it’s all about the midnight hour. Well, the Midnight Edition, anyway, as Nissan’s stylish upgrade package finds its way to their biggest seller.
Midnight trim takes the mid-range Rogue SV and adds special black badging, trim and wheels as well as synthetic leather interior trim. It’s the perfect way for buyers considering the popular Rogue to have their vehicle stand out a little more.
The S FWD, S AWD, SV, SL and Platinum trims all make a return for 2023, and all except the base S models come powered by the fuel-efficient yet powerful 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo motor that debuted for the 2022 model year. Power from the 1.5-litre is rated at 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque, figures that are up from 181 hp and 181 lb-ft on the 2.5L naturally-aspirated engine that the S models come equipped with. Fuel economy for the 1.5, meanwhile, is rated at 7.6L/100 km in the combined cycle and just 6.7 on the highway, making this Rogue a great road trip companion.
Of course when it comes to road trips, fuel economy and power are important, but so are the interior accoutrements.
Base S models come standard with an eight-inch colour display as well as heated front seats and steering wheel and automatic dual-zone climate control. Upgrading to an SV model provides a power driver’s seat and remote engine start as well as a WiFi hotspot and four USB ports – two USB-C and two USB-A. SL models, meanwhile, add heated rear seats, memory driver’s seat and leather seating surfaces as well as Amazon Alexa integration. When it comes to storing the multitude of gear you’re sure to have on a given road trip, the SL turns the trick of providing a Divide-N-Hide cargo area which allows for the expansion of the cargo area.
If you want the bee’s knees, though, when it comes to the Rogue, then the Platinum model and its 12.3” digital gauge display, semi-aniline quilted leather seats, power folding rear seats, ambient lighting, wireless charger and heads-up display is the Rogue for you.
Either way, there’s a Rogue for everyone in 2023.
