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.
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.
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.
