For 2017, the popular Nissan Rogue offers a freshened exterior look, enhanced available safety and technology -- and a new gasoline-electric powertrain.

The enhancements to the second-generation Rogue are highlighted by updated styling, convenience, technology and safety features. In addition, a new Rogue Hybrid, the first-ever hybrid Rogue, joins the 2017 lineup.

The Nissan Rogue challenges convention with bold emotive styling, a premium interior created with comfort and multi-tasking in mind, and an array of available affordable technologies.

The bold, sharp lines offer a sporty and confident appearance. Exterior highlights include halogen headlights with signature LED daytime running lights, muscular front fenders and hood, body color outside mirrors with integrated turn signals and rear spoiler.

Updated 2017 exterior features include a new, dynamic front end design with Nissan signature design cues, available Motion-Activated Liftgate. New available Safety Shield technologies include Intelligent Cruise Control and Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.

The premium look and feel continues inside. Among the interior enhancements found in the 2017 Nissan Rogue are new interior materials and finishers, which provide a more premium look and feel throughout the roomy Rogue cabin. As in previous years, the 2017 Rogue offers optional three-row, seven-passenger seating, along with exceptional passenger and cargo flexibility with its innovative EZ Flex Seating System and Divide-N-Hide Cargo System.

2017 Nissan Rogue gasoline models are equipped with a responsive 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft or torque. The engine is matched with an advanced Xtronic transmission with standard Sport Mode and Eco switches.
