The 2019 Nissan Rogue returns with a fleshed-out list of driver aids like lane-departure warning with steering, high-beam assist, and more.
We like Rogue for its affordable pricing, comprehensive bundle of driver aids, and handsome styling.
Nissan breaks the Rogue into three trim levels: S, SV, and SL.
Additionally, Nissan offers Rogue with a gasoline-fueled engine or a hybrid (HEV) system in the SV and SL. Both powertrains include an automatic transmission to deliver torque for front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).
AWD is a $1,350 upcharge available across the trim-level lineup.
The gasoline-fueled engine is a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder. Its government-estimated combined city and highway fuel economy is 29 mpg with FWD. Opting for AWD knocks that number down to 27 mpg.
Powering the HEV is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a 30 kW electric motor. Together they generate 175 hp. The combined mileage with FWD is 34 mpg. For AWD, it’s 33 mpg.

The 2019 Nissan Rogue S starts at $25,020.
Standard features are 17-inch steel wheels with covers, halogen headlights, high-beam assist, cloth seating, and a 6-way manually adjustable driver’s seat.
Also included are a 40/20/40 sliding-reclining split-folding second-row seat, three 12-volt power ports, and power accessories (windows, door locks, and outboard rearview mirrors).
Cruise control, a 5-inch driver information display, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, one USB port, and Nissan Connect with mobile apps are also standard.
The infotainment system includes a 7-inch touchscreen, a 4-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and satellite radio capability.
The driver aids are forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking and lane-departure warning with steering assist.
Also standard is blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert.
A Special Edition Package is optional. It gains you heated outboard mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, alloy wheels, and more.
Who is this trim level for? With the S grade, Nissan targets buyers who want more than the basic convenience and safety features for a relatively low price.
2019 Nissan Rogue S includes:
High-beam assist – If your vehicle has this system, the high beams are always on. When photosensors or a forward pointed camera detects oncoming headlights or taillights, the system automatically switches off the high beams. Then automatically switches them back on when no vehicle lights are detected.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – Allow your smartphone to interface with your vehicle. Not only can you access the music on your phone, but you can also send messages, receive messages, make calls, and so forth through your vehicle’s media system.
Remote keyless entry – You can unlock and lock the vehicle remotely when in range using the fob.

The 2019 Nissan Rogue SV starts at $26,440.
To the S, the SV adds all the features listed in the S Special Edition Package.
Also included are roof rails, a hands-free power rear liftgate, auto on-off headlights, and outboard mirrors with integrated turn signals.
An 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a 6-speaker audio system, text messaging, and dual-zone automatic climate control are standard.
Other features are keyless entry with push-button start, rear-park assist with rear automatic braking, and remote start.
There are a couple of option packages, including a grocery list of features. For example, the Premium Package ($1,800) includes features like a surround-view camera and ProPilot Assist, Nissan’s semi-autonomous driving system that can steer, accelerate, and brake the vehicle under certain conditions.
Who is this trim level for? Buyers looking for a wide range of convenience and safety features for well under $30,000 should gravitate to the Rogue SV. Features like a hands-free power liftgate, keyless entry with push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control add real value to the SV.
2019 Nissan Rogue SV includes:
Remote start – When within range, you can start the vehicle from outside it with the key fob. It’s handy for precooling the vehicle in summer and preheating it in winter.
Hands-free power liftgate – With the key fob on your person, stick your foot under the rear bumper. The liftgate automatically opens.
Auto on-off headlights – Photosensors detect a reduction in daylight, which automatically engages the headlights and taillights. The system extinguishes the lights when an appropriate amount of daylight returns.
