NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The 2026 Nissan Rogue has earned a TOP SAFETY PICK designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), reinforcing Nissan's commitment to engineering vehicles that prioritize safety, quality and real-world performance.

To qualify for a 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK, vehicles must earn a "Good" rating in the IIHS's small overlap front and side crash tests, no less than "Acceptable" in the updated moderate overlap front test and "Acceptable" or "Good" ratings for pedestrian front crash prevention and headlights across all trims. The 2026 Rogue's updated crash structure and restraint systems helped it meet these benchmarks, reinforcing its reputation as a smart choice for families and safety-conscious drivers.

The 2026 Rogue is on sale now with a starting MSRP of $29,0901 for the Rogue S FWD, offering a compelling blend of value, technology and safety features. All grades come standard with Nissan Safety Shield® 3602, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and Rear Automatic Braking. Its advanced VC-Turbo engine delivers EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined3 (FWD).

New for 2026 is the Rogue Dark Armor grade, which builds on the Rogue SV with bold gloss black exterior accents, 19-inch gloss black wheels, satin black roof rails, and premium features like a panoramic moonroof, HD Intelligent Around View® Monitor, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Also available is the adventure-ready Rogue Rock Creek, featuring Falken Wild Peak all-terrain tires, Lava Red accents, and a tubular roof rack for enhanced capability and style.

Beyond its safety credentials, the Rogue delivers thoughtful design and everyday versatility, including rear doors that open nearly 90 degrees for easier child seat access, available rear sunshades, and enhanced cargo functionality.
