The Nissan Rogue crossover SUV enters its third year of production in
2010, once again offering a unique combination of sporty styling,
engaging performance, versatility, safety and traditional Nissan value
including a new high-content 360 Value Package. The award-winning Rogue
continues to satisfy both the functional needs of the buyers and their
emotional needs including the versatility provided by a large 58 cubic
feet of cargo space.
The 2010 Rogue is available in two models, Rogue S and Rogue SL, each
with a standard 170-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, Nissans
advanced Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) and 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS). Both S and SL models are available with an intuitive
All-Wheel Drive system. Rogue SL models include standard 17-inch
aluminum-alloy wheels.

privacy glass, integrated rearview mirror rearview monitor, auto-dimming
rearview mirror, a rear spoiler and chrome grille.
Rogues interior includes a driver-oriented cockpit, available
leather-appointed seating surfaces, heated seats and 6-way power drivers
seat. Utility is enhanced by numerous convenient storage and
ultra-functionality features, including an oversized glove compartment, a
large center console and an innovative rear cargo organizer. Available
technology features include Nissan Intelligent Key, Bluetooth
Hands-free Phone System, XM Satellite Radio (XM subscription required,
sold separately) and a powerful Bosedeveloped audio system with 7
speakers with Nd Richbass woofer,
AUX input and MP3 playback. Rogue also offers a long list of standard
safety features, including front seat-mounted side impact supplemental
air bags and roof-mounted curtain side impact supplemental air bags with
rollover sensor for improved front and rear-seat outboard occupant head
protection.
Rogues original concept of providing great driving performance, SUV
versatility and good fuel efficiency in one high-value package resonates
even more today with buyers looking for a high-style vehicle that can do
it all, said Al Castignetti, vice
president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America,
Inc. The addition of the new 360 Value Package is the proverbial
frosting on the cake, adding some of our most popular features at a
great price.
Sporty
Design, Driver-Oriented Interior
Rogues exterior is designed to present an image of modern sophistication
both aggressive and sporty. Its dramatic styling includes dynamically
arched forms and powerful rear shoulder lines. Rogue features available
Xenon headlights, available power sliding glass moonroof with dark gray
glass, and an available roof rail system with detachable crossbars
(accessory). Chrome door handles are now standard on all 2010 Rogue
models.
Rogue is built on Nissans proven C platform, which provides high body
stiffness with extensive use of high-strength steel utilized to reduce
body weight. Rogue features a 105.9-inch wheelbase and 182.9-inch overall
length among the longest
in class, compared with leading small crossover competitors providing
ample rear seat proportions and one of the longest interior lengths. The
body also features large front door openings for easy ingress and egress.
Rogues interior, like its exterior, is designed to stand out in class
with its sophisticated integration of a cockpit-like drivers space and
exceptional utility. The drivers seat position offers excellent
visibility, enhanced by an available seat lifter
with up to two inches of seat height adjustability. Rogues instrument
panel layout and steering wheel are designed for easy readability and
operation while also providing a sporty look and feel.
An available drive computer (standard on SL) includes displays for
distance-to-empty, average fuel consumption, average speed, elapsed time
and outside temperature. Available steering wheel-mounted controls
include audio, Bluetooth
Hands-free Phone System and cruise control (cruise control is standard on
all models).
Leather-appointed seating surfaces and heated front seats and mirrors are
also available, along with a fold-down front passenger seat (standard on
SL) which allows more than 8.5 feet of front-to-rear cargo space for
carrying long items such as wood or ladders. A rear 60/40 split-fold
bench seat, oversize glove compartment, and versatile center console all
contribute to Rogues impressive functionality.
Rogues roomy cargo area has a number of available utility features,
including a unique cargo organizer (available on SL only). When needed,
the organizer pops up with a one-touch open button from its hidden
space below the flat cargo floor. A portion of the cargo floor snaps into
a vertical position, revealing a flat recessed space with removable,
vertical cargo nets. The system helps prevent items such as sports
equipment and grocery bags from rolling loose around the cargo area while
driving. Rogue also features a washable, removable tray that fits below
the cargo area floor to hold wet or dirty gear and tools and a rear
tonneau cover to keep luggage and other items out of sight. Rogues
everyday utility features also include a variety of cupholders, memo/pen
holder, coin holder and cell phone/sunglass holders.
Among the advanced technology features available on Rogue are a Nissan
Intelligent Key and a powerful Bose-developed audio system with 6CD
in-dash changer, 7 speakers with Nd Richbass woofer with MP3 capability
and XM Satellite Radio (XM subscription required, sold separately).
Also available is a Bluetooth Hands- free Phone System.
Engaging
Performance
While maintaining its functionality as a family vehicle, Rogues creators
also recognized the target buyers desires for a higher level of
acceleration, handling and fun-to-drive attributes than offered by
traditional small crossover SUVs. Rogue delivers on this promise with an
advanced drivetrain anchored by its powerful 2.5-liter engine, 4-wheel
independent suspension and refined, intuitive All-Wheel Drive system.
Rogues standard QR25DE 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder is
rated at 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft torque (167 hp, 170 lb-ft CAL
emissions), tuned to provide ample torque in the low-to-mid rpm range for
smooth, powerful acceleration and quick initial response from a standing
start. The engine features an aluminum block, reduced piston and piston
ring friction and increased thermal efficiency (over the previous
generation 2.5-liter engine design), 9.6:1 compression ratio, and large
diameter intake port and exhaust manifold.
Every Rogue comes with a standard Nissan Xtronic CVT, combining smooth,
linear and responsive acceleration feel with high-efficiency operation.
Rogues CVT utilizes adaptive logic control and a high-speed central
processing unit. Its advanced shift control offers the optimal shift
pattern according to the driving situation and drivers demands, using
input from driver operation, vehicle speed, road gradient, turning
condition and acceleration force to adjust shifting patterns accordingly.
Rogue fuel economy is rated at 22 mpg City/27 mpg Highway for 2-wheel
drive models and 21 mpg City/26 mpg Highway for all-wheel drive models.
Rogue AWD models feature an advanced, intuitive All-Wheel Drive system
with yaw moment control or front-wheel drive. The system provides stable
starts on dry or slippery roads and excellent all-weather performance and
traction. Every Rogue also features standard Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) with Traction Control System (TCS).
Rogues standard 4-wheel independent suspension provides a balance of
ride comfort and driving stability. The front suspension includes
subframe-mounted independent struts with coil springs, high-performance
shock absorbers with rebound springs, and a stabilizer bar. The rear
independent multi-link suspension includes aluminum-alloy upper links,
high-performance shock absorbers with rebound springs and stabilizer bar.
The rear suspension design allows maximum luggage space (versus a rear
strut design), as well as driving stability. Responsive steering is
provided by an Electric Power-assisted Steering (EPS) system. Every Rogue
also comes equipped with standard power-assisted front and rear
vented disc brakes with standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with
Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). Rogue S
models come with 16-inch steel wheels and P215/70R16 tires, while 17-inch
aluminum-alloy wheels
with P225/60R17 tires are standard on Rogue SL models.
Standard safety features include the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System
(AABS) with dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and
occupant classification sensors; front seat-mounted side impact
supplemental air bags; roof-mounted
curtain side impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensor for
improved front and rear-seat outboard occupant head protection; front
seat Active Head Restraints; 3-point front/rear seatbelts with
pre-tensioners, load limiters and adjustable upper anchors for front
seating positions and LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren).
Every Rogue also offers child safety rear door locks; Zone Body
construction featuring front and rear crumple zones and occupant zone;
Nissan Immobilizer system and anti-theft alarm system; and Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
A number of option packages are offered in 2010, including the new 360
Value Package with 16-inch aluminumalloy wheels, privacy glass,
integrated rearview mirror rearview monitor, rear spoiler, chrome grille
overlay.
