2021 Nissan Rogue Pricing and Features

The 2021 Nissan Rogue is upon us. We have recently experienced two distinctive versions: a high-spec Rogue Platinum model and a mid-grade Rogue SV. Both confirm Nissan’s redesign of its popular compact crossover hits the mark. Moreover, how much does the redesigned, third-generation Rogue cost? Here is a detailed rundown of every trim level, with prices, as well as standard and available equipment for each one.

Trim Levels and Pricing of the 2021 Nissan Rogue

Four trim levels are offered on the 2021 Nissan Rogue, which goes on sale this month: S, SV, SL, and Platinum. All trims come standard with front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available for an additional $1,400. Every Rogue is powered by a capable 181-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The powertrain is efficient and should provide above-average real-world fuel economy. Consequently, Nissan has perfected the art of extracting good mileage from its naturally aspirated engines paired with CVTs. Every Rogue model includes automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert as standard safety features.

It’s essential to understand some standout terms. ProPilot Assist is Nissan’s branding for its adaptive cruise control and lane-centering function, designed primarily for use on freeways. The ProPilot Assist with Navigation Link is the enhanced system that integrates with the navigation system, allowing the vehicle to adjust its speed in response to upcoming curves, freeway exits, etc. Notably, drivers can utilize this upgraded system for up to 30 seconds without needing to intervene by providing input at the steering wheel.

Moreover, the more advanced ProPilot Assist is only available on the SL and standard on the Platinum. Nissan has made the non-navigation-linked version of ProPilot Assist standard on the SV trim, giving buyers more value. Also, Wireless Apple CarPlay is exclusive to the top-level Platinum trim.

How Does the Rogue’s Price Compare to Competitors?

Starting at $26,745, the Rogue’s base price sees a modest increase of only $160 relative to last year’s model. Although the Rogue is not the cheapest compact crossover or SUV available, it sits comfortably in the middle of the price spectrum. Many rivals start just under $30,000, such as the GMC Terrain. The pricing of the Nissan Rogue positions it strategically against its competitors; it is more affordable than the Toyota RAV4 but slightly pricier than rivals like the Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how the Rogue performs in upcoming comparisons within the compact crossover and SUV segment, especially as many critical entries are set to be updated or redesigned soon, such as the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage.
