2022 Nissan Rogue Platinum: What’s New?

The Rogue is handsomely styled and offers a spacious cabin, generous cargo room, and ample standard and optional amenities that SUV buyers crave such as high-tech infotainment and safety features.

For 2022 the Rogue’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine has been replaced with a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that creates 201 horsepower. The CVT transmission has also been revised and upgraded to aid in acceleration and fuel economy.

The mid-level trim, the SV, offers the best mix of new features including 18-inch aluminum wheels, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a 360-degree camera system, and Nissan’s ProPilot Assist.

The SV Premium adds a panoramic sunroof, roof rails, faux-leather upholstery, and a power-operated rear liftgate.

Performance

As stated above the 2022 Rogue comes with a smaller but more powerful turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that offers 201 horsepower. The Rogue comes standard in front-wheel drive but all-wheel drive is optional.

On the Platinum model, there are five different drive modes including:

• Off-road
• Snow
• Auto
• Eco
• Sport

Fuel Economy

With the new turbocharged three-cylinder engine, the Rogue is rated for 30 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway.
