Rogue S AWD - The Value Entry Point

The S trim is built for buyers who want Nissan's compact SUV practicality without paying for extras they won't use. It starts at $34,398 and covers the essentials - all-wheel drive, a 1.5L turbocharged engine producing 201 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque, and a smooth Xtronic CVT transmission. Fuel economy is competitive for the segment, and the cabin offers 1,054 mm of front legroom and 978 mm in the second row - enough space for daily commutes and weekend errands.

Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring. The S also includes a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto, plus dual-zone climate control. If you're looking for a straightforward, capable SUV without the premium price tag, the S delivers.

Rogue SV AWD - Comfort and Tech Upgrades

The SV trim is designed for buyers who want a more refined daily driver. Starting at $38,198, it adds heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and upgraded interior materials. The SV Premium Package (standard on this trim) includes a power panoramic sunroof, a 12.3-inch digital driver display, and a 9-inch touchscreen with enhanced navigation features.

The SV also upgrades the audio system and adds rear USB ports for passengers. If you spend a lot of time in your vehicle - whether commuting or road-tripping - the SV's comfort and tech features make those hours more enjoyable. It's the sweet spot in the lineup for buyers who want more than the basics but don't need the rugged styling or electrified powertrain of the higher trims.

Rogue Rock Creek AWD - Rugged Styling and Off-Road Touches


The Rock Creek trim is built for buyers who want their Rogue to look and feel more adventurous. Starting at $41,398, it adds black exterior accents, unique 18-inch wheels, and a more aggressive front grille. The Rock Creek also includes roof rails, all-terrain tires, and skid plates - practical touches if you venture onto gravel roads or light trails.

Inside, the Rock Creek features water-resistant seats and upgraded floor mats designed to handle mud, snow, and wet gear. It's not a hardcore off-roader, but it's the right choice if you want a Rogue that can handle rougher conditions while still delivering the comfort and tech of the SV trim. If your lifestyle includes camping, hiking, or cottage trips, the Rock Creek is worth the upgrade.

Rogue Platinum PHEV AWD - Electrified Efficiency with Three-Row Seating

The Platinum PHEV is the most advanced Rogue in the lineup and Nissan's first plug-in hybrid for the Canadian market. Starting at $58,698, it combines a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine with dual electric motors for a total system output of 248 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. The PHEV offers 61 km of all-electric range - enough for most daily commutes without burning a drop of fuel - and a total range of 687 km when the gas engine kicks in.

The Platinum PHEV is the only Rogue trim with seven-passenger seating, making it a practical choice for families who need the extra space. It also includes ProPILOT Assist 2.1, a 10-inch head-up display, a Bose nine-speaker sound system, heated rear seats, and leather-appointed seating. The Invisible Hood View technology gives you a clear view of the ground directly in front of the vehicle - helpful for navigating tight parking spots or rough terrain.
