The Nissan Rogue was completely redesigned and reengineered for the 2021 model year with the overriding intent of making family life easier.

Now, just one year later, the 2022 Rogue adds an even higher level of driver and family enjoyment with the arrival of an all-new 1.5-liter variable compression (VC) Turbo engine and refined all-new transmission the gives customers best-in-class gas engine fuel economy and torque.

The new powertrain delivers 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque – an increase of 11 percent and 24 percent respectively versus the 2021 Rogue. Even with the increased power, the 2022 Rogue's estimated fuel economy is 33³ mpg combined, an increase of 3 mpg over the 2021 model.

Nissan's all-new 1.5-liter VC-Turbo
Nissan Motor Company pioneered the variable compression engine with the introduction of the 2.0-liter VC-Turbo 4-cylinder in the 2019 INFINITI QX50the 2019 Nissan Altima. More than 20 years in development, the VC-Turbo system continuously adjusts its compression ratio to optimize power and efficiency through use of a breakthrough advanced multi-link system.

The advanced VC-Turbo's high/low compression ratio technology creates two different driving profiles – dynamic performance and eco/efficient, each seamlessly available on driver demand. The new powertrain provides strong, confident acceleration from a start, when passing other vehicles or when entering a highway.

VC-Turbo technologies have evolved for the 2022 Rogue's 1.5-liter VC-Turbo 3-cylinder, with a focus on improving performance in three areas: acceleration, fuel economy and emissions. A new high-pressure fuel injection system helps enhance acceleration, as does the stainless mirror-bore cylinder-wall coating. New textured valve lifters reduce friction and improve overall engine efficiency while a vacuum low-pressure die-cast cylinder head improves engine cooling. In addition, the 2022 Rogue features a new engine mounting system that uses two lower torque rods to enhance engine vibration isolation with high torque support.

Along with the VC-Turbo engine, the 2022 Rogue adds a new generation Xtronic transmission. With a 17 percent wider gear ratio coverage and 32 percent lower friction (than the previous transmission), the new Xtronic transmission also drives better acceleration feel and enhanced fuel economy in the 2022 Rogue.

New transmission technologies include a twin oil pump system and newly developed control valve system. The twin oil pump system combines a small mechanical pump (with small oil flow) for slow shifting between low and high ratios, while the second electric oil pump (with larger oil flow) provides quicker shifting for hard driving situations.

The Rogue "Family Hub"
The 2022 Rogue's advanced design isn't limited to under the hood. The Rogue interior is a true "family hub," designed to provide comfort and utility for everyone in both the front and rear seats.

For example, vehicle access with the Nissan Intelligent Key™ operates on the rear doors, as well as the front. A driver or passenger can unlock a rear door with a touch of a button on the rear door handle (or unlock all doors by pressing twice), rather than needing to unlock with buttons on the front door handles.

The rear doors are extra-wide and open nearly 90 degrees, making it easier to get a child seat in or out, and also easing ingress and egress. The rear seat offers flexible and convenient child seat installation in all three seating positions – so adults or older children can sit on either side of a center-positioned child seat.

The Rogue "butterfly" opening front center console allows for easy "pass-back" access to the second row. And, with the available Remote Engine Start³ with Intelligent Climate Control, parents can heat or cool the interior before placing a young child in a cold or hot vehicle.

Rear seat comfort features include standard reclining NASA-inspired Zero Gravity low-fatigue spinal support seating and available heated seats⁴. Rogue is also equipped with available Tri-Zone Climate Control – meaning rear seat occupants can control their temperature separate from the front driver and passenger control. Both rear doors also feature available pull-up sunshades⁴ to remove unwanted direct sunlight.

The rear cargo area is accessible through the available motion-activated tailgate. Once inside, Rogue's Divide-n-Hide® system can provide hidden and secure storage for essential gear. Also, the inner right side of the cargo area (behind the wheel arch) is intended for securing wider items or groceries like a gallon of milk.

Available advanced connected technologies
Nissan believes that technology should make life better, easier and more fun. Drivers can enjoy the ease of connecting without cords. Rogue also offers available wireless Apple CarPlay®, which and allows the driver or passenger to initiate CarPlay® while leaving their iPhone® in their pocket, purse or bag – so driver and passengers can seamlessly transfer their music from phone to Rogue.

A wireless smartphone charger allows phones with a range of charge power applications (15-watt maximum) to be charged while driving. The charger platform is located on the center console, in front of the electronic shifter lever and twin cupholders. The console also houses both USB Type-C and Type-A charging ports.

Getting vehicle information is easy, thanks to the 2022 Rogue's digital display integration featuring three available high-tech displays. The combination of a full-color 10.8-inch head-up display, 12.3-inch "Digital Dashboard" gauge cluster and large, floating 9.0-inch touch screen display allows Rogue drivers to customize and enhance their driving experience.

The head-up display is designed to help reduce the driver's workload and stress – keeping surroundings and the road ahead in sight while accessing a range of vehicle information.

Below the head-up display in the instrument panel is an available advanced fully digital meter display, measuring 12.3 inches wide (a 7.0-inch center display replaces the previous 5.0-inch display on lower grades). Both the 12.3-inch and 7.0-inch meter displays are fully customizable, allowing drivers to personalize the information and appearance to their preferences.

The third of three Rogue digital displays is located in the center of the wide instrument panel. There, an available 9.0-inch "floating" touchscreen provides crisp, clear images for navigation, audio display, climate information, RearView Monitor and available Intelligent Around View® Monitor. Rogue also offers both Google Maps and Waze, with voice commands to help the driver switch between apps to access their preferred view of route conditions or to avoid construction zones.

Available ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
Rogue was one of the first vehicles to offer Nissan's ProPILOT Assist, a hands-on, driver-assist technology that reduces the hassle of stop-and-go highway driving and makes long drives on the open highway easier. ProPILOT Assist combines steering assist and Intelligent Cruise Control to help control acceleration, braking and steering in both heavy traffic and on the open highway.⁵

The available ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, as the name implies, links ProPILOT Assist with Nissan's Door-to-Door Navigation System. The navigation map data can provide the ability to proactively reduce speed for upcoming freeway curves or junctions and also help the driver slow for freeway exits – providing smooth braking, added steering assist feel and detection performance when other vehicles cut into the lane. It is standard on Rogue Platinum and available on Rogue SL.

For vehicles with ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, the hold time in stop-and-go highway traffic is up to 30 seconds – allowing the vehicle to remain stopped and automatically continue without the driver resetting the function or tapping the accelerator pedal. Using traffic sign recognition, the system can also automatically update the vehicle's speed when the speed limit goes up or down.

High level of available safety technology
The 2022 Rogue has the most standard safety technologies in its class⁶, with Nissan Safety Shield 360 standard across the entire lineup. Nissan Safety Shield 360 technologies include Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and Rear Automatic Braking. The 2022 Rogue also offers 10 standard supplemental air bags and extended crumple zones to help protect occupants.

In addition to Safety Shield 360, the Rogue also offers Nissan's innovative Intelligent Driver Alertness technology and Rear Door Alert as standard equipment on all grade levels. Also available is Blind Spot Intervention and Traffic Sign Recognition. Intelligent Cruise Control is included as part of the available ProPILOT Assist system.

Design with commanding presence
Rogue's design, both exterior and interior, reflects the spirit of the vehicle – versatile, fun, edgy, and adventurous. The exterior is highlighted by signature Nissan design elements such as the floating roof and V-motion grille, along with the unique headlight shape and "U-shape" bodyside highlights. Multi-level LED headlights with an expanded illumination area are standard on all Rogue grade levels and accent the powerful front grille design. LED fog lights are standard on SL and Platinum grades.

Key aerodynamic features include "3D" tire deflectors in the lower front fascia, an active grille shutter to control air flow into the engine compartment, special A-pillar shaping, underbody covers to manage air flow under the vehicle and a unique "air curtain" that precisely directs air flow from the front to the sides of the Rogue.

The 2022 Rogue is offered in a wide range of color combinations, including five two-tone combinations.

A modern, premium interior
Along with Rogue's "family hub" functionality and premium look and feel, it checks all the boxes in terms of interior amenities and equipment for everyday and every weekend life. There are available heated front and rear seats, heated outside mirrors and heated steering wheel – along with two-driver memory seat. The available Intelligent Around View® Monitor and standard Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Rear Automatic Braking help get the day off on the right direction.

Front and rear Nissan Zero Gravity seats provide comfortable support whether the destination is close or far away. Leather-appointed seating is standard on Rogue SL, with quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seating standard on the Platinum grade. Three interior color choices are offered: Charcoal, Gray and Tan.

In the rear, ideal for weekend adventures, a split one-touch fold-down seat with an available remote fold feature provides versatile cargo capability. Combined with the reconfigured rear cargo area, easy-to-wash cargo liner and floor mats, and available, Divide-n-Hide® and Motion Activated Liftgate, Rogue is designed to help families take on all of their adventures. Rogue's electronic shifter design eliminates the need for mechanical equipment under the shifter, allowing extra storage space under the "floating" center console.

Premium level driving dynamics
Not to be forgotten among all of the design, functional, safety and technology is the Rogue driving experience – featuring enriched performance and fuel efficiency of the 1.5-liter VC-Turbo engine and Vehicle Motion Control system.

Vehicle Motion Control works in conjunction with the available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system and Drive Mode Selector to provide four-wheel individual control, enhancing line traceability through corners – even applying a single brake to smooth out a corner. The chassis control module monitors and adjusts engine, transmission, Vehicle Dynamic Control, all-wheel drive and steering functions. For front-wheel drive modes, a switch on the console controls three drive modes: Sport, Standard and Eco.

Five drive modes are available with Rogue All-Wheel Drive models – Off-road, Snow, Standard, Eco and Sport – engaged by the driver through a drive-mode selector mounted on the center console. While engaged at all times, the Vehicle Motion Control system is particularly advantageous when driving on snowy slopes, deep snow, snow flat turning and off-road driving (such as beach or dirt trails).

Rogue's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system uses an electro-hydraulic controlled clutch as well, which can control torque more accurately and quickly by predicting front wheel slippage, making torque distribution to the rear more responsive.

Rogue features a Rack Electric Power Steering with a quick gear ratio, helping minimize steering corrections. The Rogue suspension design features a rigid mount (six mounting points) and a multi-link rear. Braking is provided by standard 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System.

A comprehensive model lineup
The 2022 Nissan Rogue is offered in S, SV, SL and Platinum grade levels. Each is available in two-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Three packages are offered – the SV Premium Package, SL Premium Package and an available 10.8-inch head-up display for the Platinum trim.
