Reasons to check out the 2020 Nissan Rogue
As a compact crossover, the new 2020 Nissan Rogue® needs to have a lot going for it to stand out from launches from major automobile brands. Luckily, it delivers. Aspects such as increased boot capacity that offers 40 cubic feet of luggage, even 70 cubic feet if the rear seats are folded, roomier cabin space, and more legroom make it a comfortable option for most. Also, Nissan offers adaptive control that instills a great sense of confidence in you while driving.
Let us delve into more details to understand how the new 2020 Nissan Rogue® compares against its competitors.
Safety
Nissan Intelligent Mobility™ offers all-round vehicle safety.
Interior and exterior
Regularly cramping your leg while trying to drive is a thing of the past. The compact offers a good 41.6 inches headroom, better than any competitors in its class. In comparison to the 2020 Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape, the 2020 Nissan Rogue® lets you sit tall and comfortably.
The model sports an aggressive exterior with sharp lines that follow the length of the car. Another stellar feature is the dual Panel Panoramic Moonroof that opens up for both, front and back seats. Now, everyone on board can enjoy breathtaking views on the next scenic drive.
Technology
The standard infotainment system comes with a 7-inch touchscreen —called NissanConnect® — to easily help sync all your wireless peripherals. The new 2020 Nissan Rogue® comes fully loaded with standard Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ installations that are compatible with the NissanConnect®. Note that Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ is an optional installation in many of its competitors, including the Honda CRV and Ford Escape.
Power and performance
The Rogue is available in three unique variants, including the 2020 S, SV, and SL. You have the option of choosing an all-wheel-drive or a front-wheel-drive for any variant of your choice. But while the Rogue scores high in terms of design and build, it might just fall a little short in terms of power and performance. The four-cylinder engine 2.5L engine gives you modest power, even with the accelerator pressed to the floor. However, in terms of fuel economy, both in the city and on the highway, it wins points with an approximate 26mpg and a 33mpg respectively.
To conclude, the Rogue has a comfortable, quiet, spacious interior and comes with fuel-efficient powertrains. On the downside, the 4-cylinder engine might make it seem like more of a show car than a real performance workhorse. The safety and driver-assist features are good considering the overall build of the vehicle. In terms of luggage and hauling, the 2020 Nissan Rogue® is one of the best in its class. The base variant of the 2020 Nissan Rogue is available at $25,300.
