Nissan’s 2018 Rogue receives a few updates for the model year, including an optional ProPilot Assist technology. The optional third-row of seating is also no longer available on the Rogue for 2018.
Where the Rogue excels is its high-end interior with plenty of entertainment and convenience features. Inside the cabin, car shoppers will find comfortable seats and a spacious cargo area. Under the hood is a 170-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT. Like the 2018 Toyota RAV4, all 2018 Nissan Rogue models are standard with front-wheel drive with the option of all-wheel drive.
