That provides you with ample opportunity to fill up your cargo space, whether you’re heading out for a weekend in the woods or loading the SUV for a move.

This provides ample room for you and your passengers to load up any essentials you need for your drive.
When you need a bit more storage space, fold down the back row of seating. With the rear seats down, storage in the 2021 Nissan Rogue more than doubles to 74.1 cubic feet of space. This offers storage that many other compact SUVs cannot match. There’s no shortage of cargo capacity in your Rogue when you fold the seats down for maximum storage.

When choosing your 2021 Nissan Rogue, two options for drivetrains are available. The Rogue comes standard with a front-wheel option that provides an EPA-estimated 27 miles per gallon in the city and 35 miles per gallon on the highway. If you prioritize managing unfavorable conditions, you can opt for a Rogue with an all-wheel-drive system. All-wheel drive provides increased grip and control even when the road gets slick, or you leave it altogether while still getting 26 miles per gallon in the city and 33 miles per gallon on the highway.*
Towing Safety Features and Driving Tips
When towing a trailer or vehicle behind your 2021 Nissan Rogue, it’s essential to know that you’re looking out for you and your passengers’ safety as well. The good news is the Rogue comes with many excellent safety features to help ensure you can drive comfortably and responsibly when towing, including:
- Blind-spot monitoring: When trailing a vehicle, you increase the number of potential blind spots and make it even more important to be aware of other cars around you. Blind-spot monitoring uses sensors to alert you when a car pulls up alongside you that you can’t see to help you avoid dangerous lane changes.
- Driver alertness warnings: Although it’s always important to be alert at the wheel, it is particularly so when towing a trailer or vehicle, as it can reduce the maneuverability of your car. Driver alertness warnings monitor your performance and alert you when signs of distraction or fatigue appear.
- Lane departure warning: When towing a load behind your Nissan Rogue, it’s important to avoid sharp or sudden movements, such as needing to turn quickly back into your lane if you begin to drift out of it. With lane departure warnings, your Rogue provides an alert when you near a neighboring lane to prevent the need for rapid reactions.
- Intelligent forward collision warning: Towing behind a vehicle increases the weight you are driving and affects your ability to stop quickly. With intelligent forward-collision warnings, your Rogue can alert you when you follow a car too closely. This helps you maintain a safe distance to provide ample room to stop or slow down when needed.
- Rear cross-traffic alert: When you hook a trailer up to the back of your 2021 Nissan Rogue, it can reduce your visibility behind you by obstructing your vision. Rear cross-traffic alert uses sensors to monitor the space behind your vehicle for approaching people, cars, or other obstacles. This helps you safely reverse your Rogue while towing and avoid collisions.
