A new compact crossover SUV, the 2023 Nissan Rogue, will arrive next year, featuring more refreshments than many thought. This model remains one of the most competitive in its segment, thanks to its attractive design language. However, if you didn’t know, the Rogue got a complete redesign last year, and we expect the new variant to be a carryover model.
It features a new look, new tech and is one of the roomiest in its class. In general, it’s perfect for families as long as you don’t need three rows of seats. The base engine model is still a 2.5-liter inline-4 engine that produces 181 horses, while optional is a more efficient turbocharged 3-cylinder powertrain. We’re also hoping to see in the future a hybrid model to keep up with hybrid variants of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

The blocky new look of the 2023 Nissan Rogue remains attractive and eye-catchy. In general, it looks more rugged but refined. It’s recognized by Nissan’s trademark V-Motion grille and a “floating” roof. On top of that, Nissan claims the new Rogue is slightly more aerodynamic than before, thanks to active grille shutters, front air curtains, and underbody covers.
The new Rogue’s LED running lights to look much thinner than before, and they slit up high on the vehicle’s nose. In addition, below are Rogue’s headlights with the same LED technology. On the back, this SUV remains attractive with the same stylish taillights and body-colored bumper.

Moreover, with the seat folded, the cargo capacity has grown to 74.1 cubic feet. The Rogue comes with a Safety Shield 360 safety suite at the base level, and it also includes an 8-inch display screen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

This trim is the most expensive, and it includes a 12.3-inch digital gauge package, a 10.8-inch head-up display, and diamond-quilted semi-aniline leather seats upholstered. It also gets wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless smartphone charging, and a premium Bose audio system.

Last year, this engine produced 170 hp at 6,000 rpm and 175 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. A front-drive is standard, and Nissan Rogue is rated at 27 mpg city/35 mpg highway. With AWD, this SUV provides 26 mpg city/33 mpg highway/29 mpg combined.
A second available engine is a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-3 engine. There are no performance numbers, but we do have official fuel economy ratings from the EPA. It’s much more efficient than the first engine with 30 mpg city/37 mpg highway/33 mpg combined with FWD. Moreover, if you add AWD, the fuel economy slight drop in efficiency at 30 mpg city/36 mpg highway/33 mpg combined.
