Of the three trim levels, and depending on budget, most drivers will likely want to test drive the top-tier SL model, just to appreciate all the bells and whistles that this brand new CUV entrant has in spades.Â
S - Starting MSRP $22,380
The base S, true to its entry-level designation, is pretty basic with respect to included equipment. Features like a cloth-covered interior, a 5-inch center console display with Bluetooth phone capabilities, along with streaming audio, in addition to a four-speaker CD player, satellite radio, and USB port, stand atop 16-inch steel wheels. Also included are 60/40-split folding seats in back, joined by a rearview camera.Â
SV - Starting MSRP $23,980
Opting for the mid-range SV model delivers upgrades like a dual-zone climate control, automatic headlights, six-speaker sound system, roof rails, cargo management system, keyless entry and ignition, six-way power driver seat, and 17-inch alloy wheels, and a hands-free liftgate.Â
SL - Starting MSRP $27,030
Targeting the top-tier Rogue Sport returns a wealth of winning features like remote start, automatic high beams, the same hands-free liftgate seen on the SV, a leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel to match the heated front seats and leather upholstery, heated mirrors, a universal garage door opener, fog lights, automatic high beams, and 19-inch wheels. A larger, 7-inch touchscreen provides access to Nissan Connect telematics - for emergency and convenience purposes, navigation capabilities, Siri Eyes Free accessibility, and a surround-view.
