The Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport are two of Nissan's popular crossover SUV models. While the names are similar, the Rogue and Rogue Sport have several features that set them apart. No matter what you're looking for in a compact SUV, though, both Nissan models can offer plenty of comfort features, technology, and safety and security. Take a closer look at the 2022 Nissan Rogue versus the Rogue Sport in this overview from the team at Nissan of Streetsboro. 2022 Nissan Rogue vs. 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport The 2022 Nissan Rogue is Nissan's best-selling model, mainly because of its redesign for the 2021 lineup. The 2022 Rogue keeps Nissan's award-winning design and technology from the previous year, featuring four trim levels: S, SV, SL, and Platinum. Premium features that debuted last year to continue into this year's model lineup include a more stable structure, additional safety systems, upgraded technology, and more capabilities. The starting price for the base S is an estimated $26,050 MSRP. The 2022 Rogue Sport continues to borrow from the Rogue's style with an intelligent interior design and comfortable features. The subcompact crossover sits just below the Rogue SUV, and some passengers are likely to notice the Rogue Sport's smaller cabin size. Even with the Rogue Sport's practical design, the Rogue still provides a little more legroom. Aside from its smaller size, the Rogue Sport packs in value with its standard features across its three trims: S, SV, and SL. The Rogue Sport also comes in at a lower base price, an estimated $24,260 MSRP. Besides the similar features and appearance between the Rogue and Rogue Sport, the Rogue still packs more power and space and has more fuel efficiency. The Rogue Sport may be smaller, but this subcompact crossover SUV is still capable of meeting your comfort needs. OEM Image from Nissan Premium Features of the 2022 Nissan Rogue Check out some of the features Nissan gives the Rogue: Engine and Performance The Nissan Rogue features one engine platform across its four trims, pairing it with Nissan's Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission with a manual shift mode. The 2.5-liter Direct Overhead Cam inline-four-cylinder platform is a 16-valve direct injection, which gives the Rogue the power to generate a maximum of 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. Nissan also provides the Rogue with a high-performing drivetrain, with the option of upgrading the two-wheel-drive system to the intelligent all-wheel drive. Interior Features and Specs Nissan equips the Rogue with several premium features, including a motion-activated liftgate, a dual-panel panoramic moonroof, rear passenger vents, and a memory system for the driver's and passenger's seats as well as the exterior mirrors for the upper trims. The Rogue isn't lacking for interior space, either. With its 60/40 split-folding rear seats, loading cargo is a breeze. Upgrade to the SV or above, and you get remote-folding rear seats for even more convenience. The specifications for the Rogue's total space give you about 40 inches of headroom and between 38 and 43 inches of legroom from the rear to the front seats. The cargo space is also pretty substantial, providing a maximum of 72 inches of cargo space when the rear seats are down. Technology, Safety, and Security The Rogue comes standard with the NissanConnect 8-inch touch screen and features Android Auto capabilities and Nissan's Advanced Drive-Assist display. Voice recognition for navigation is also a standard feature, making it easy to search directions, locations, and landmarks hands-free. Nissan equips the Rogue with standard safety features, including intelligent forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring systems. Additional standard safety technologies include Nissan's rear cross-traffic alert, rearview monitor, rear sonar system, intelligent trace control, and vehicle dynamic control system with traction control. Upper trims feature Nissan's ProPilot Assist System with Navi-link technology as an additional option. OEM Image from Nissan Features of the 2022 Rogue Sport Take a closer look at the Rogue Sport's features: Engine and Performance The engine platform on the 2022 Rogue Sport is where you can see the difference from the Rogue. Nissan fits the Rogue Sport with a 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC inline-four cylinder with Nissan's direct injection system featuring platinum-tipped spark plugs. Just like the Rogue, the Sport's engine pairs with Nissan's Xtronic CVT with manual shift and eco mode, which makes efficient use of its power. This platform generates a maximum of 141 horsepower and about 147 pound-feet of torque. While the Rogue Sport doesn't offer the same power output as the Rogue, the 2.0-liter still packs a punch with its quick response and acceleration. The Rogue Sport also shares Nissan's intelligent all-wheel drive with the Rogue. Interior Features and Specs The Rogue Sport may borrow from the Rogue's appearance and style, but the overall space the Rogue Sport gives you is less than what the Rogue can offer. Even with the smaller interior space, the Rogue Sport equips the same comfort features as the Rogue, including rear air conditioning vents, remote keyless entry with push-button ignition, and remote start on the upper trims. The interior dimensions are where you'll notice the size difference between the Rogue Sport and the Rogue. Altogether, the Rogue Sport gives you about 38 inches of headroom, 33 inches of rear legroom, and 42 inches of front legroom. Cargo space is still substantial, giving you about 62 by 54 inches of room. Technology, Safety, and Security The Rogue Sport features the same safety features as the Rogue and equips Nissan's reputable driver assistance technology. Just like the Rogue, the Sport gets the Nissan Safety Shield 360. While the safety and driver-assist technologies are the same, the Rogue Sport downsizes its touchscreen display to a 7-inch screen. You also get the Siri Eyes Free technology not available on the Rogue.

With plenty of cargo-carrying capacity, roomy seating for up to five, and a handsome exterior design, this crossover is a great choice. Here's the rundown of some of its standout interior and exterior features. Interior and Seating The 2022 Rogue has two rows of seats for up to five passengers. There's plenty of legroom and headroom in both rows for adults, and the rear seats can recline so passengers can relax during long drives. Reviewers enjoy Nissan's zero-gravity seats, which offer excellent comfort for long and short drives. If you plan on installing seating for your kids, you'll find two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the outward rear seats and a tether anchor for the middle seat. Behind the rear row, you'll find over 31 cubic feet of storage in the Rogue's standard setup. In some higher trims, you can add Nissan's adjustable cargo floor to boost cargo capacity to over 36 cubic feet. The cabin is fitted with cloth upholstery in the base setup. However, if you prefer some more luxury, you can upgrade to synthetic or genuine leather upholstery. The top Platinum trim also features wooden accents to give the cabin an added upscale feel. Exterior Design and Colors Nissan sticks with the aggressive front design for 2022, including a prominent V-motion grill. The front end also boasts futuristic LED headlights. As for the roof, you can opt for the available black design to contrast strikingly with your chosen body color. There is a wide selection of colors available throughout the trim lineup. They include Caspian Blue, Glacier White, Gun Metallic, and Scarlet Ember. Further options featured are Super Black, Brilliant Silver Metallic, Pearl White, and Boulder Gray Pearl. The final option is a Super Black and Boulder Gray combination. Engine and Specs One of the most significant changes for the 2022 Rogue is that Nissan has given its compact SUV a new engine. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine from the 2021 model, which puts out 181 horsepower, has been replaced by a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit. The result is that the Rogue gets a little more power under the hood, with a maximum output of 201 horsepower. The turbocharged unit gives the Rogue one of the best torque ratings in the compact SUV class. The 2022 Rogue has a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds. The new engine also improves the Rogue's gas mileage, which was already good for the class last year. The compact crossover now achieves 30 mpg on city roads and 37 mpg at highway speeds. These figures are for the standard front-wheel-drive setup. You can also opt for all-wheel drive. Infotainment and Technology Image via nissanusa.com The Rogue's base infotainment setup features an 8-inch screen and four-speaker stereo. You also get BlueTooth connectivity, smartphone compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and two USB ports. If you move up through the trims, several additional exciting features become available. You can have a 9-inch screen, a 10-speaker premium stereo, and a built-in navigation system. There's also the option to install wireless device charging so you can keep your phone fully charged wherever you go and a wireless hotspot so you can stay connected wherever your journey takes you. Turning to safety tech, the Rogue is equipped with a long list of useful features. It has forward collision warning and forward automatic emergency braking to help you avoid accidents. Unlike many class rivals, the Rogue also has automatic reverse emergency braking in its standard setup. The other key safety feature that deserves mention is the driver attention monitor. This system takes note of your driving habits and reaction times and will warn you when it thinks you should take a break, so you're not driving while feeling drowsy. The final safety feature we'd like to tell you about is the ProPilot Assist. This piece of tech can adjust your speed and steering to ensure that you stay in your lane on the highway. You can add several optional safety features, including traffic sign recognition, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. The available surround-view parking camera can make your life a lot easier when you're maneuvering your Rogue into a tight spot. It provides you with an aerial view of your vehicle on your screen so that you can monitor potential obstacles from all directions. Trims The Rogue has four trims for 2022: S, SV, SL, and Platinum. Each trim brings some changes to the interior design of this compact crossover. The SV trim gets you a power-adjustable driver's seat. If you opt for the Premium package, you also get synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a moonroof. On the exterior, the Premium trim adds roof rails. The SL trim includes genuine leather upholstery and a power-adjustable front passenger's seat. There's also a Premium package on offer, which adds the adjustable cargo floor, the larger infotainment screen, and the premium stereo. If you want all the luxury features available with the Rogue, try the Platinum trim. It has quilted leather seats, heated rear seats, and wireless device charging. All the features available with the SL Premium package come standard in the Rogue Platinum.
