Our SV had the Premium Package, so we also got a 7-inch color touchscreen with Navigation, Voice recognition for audio and navi, and it even let us access Siri on our iPhone by holding down the push-to-talk button on the steering wheel. We also liked the clever divide-n-hide cargo compartment behind the rear seats that give you some cool ways to keep your stuff from rolling around. The rear seats are a limited in legroom because of the 2.1-inch shorter wheelbase compared to the Rogue, but they are fine for adults for shorter trips. ![]() Speaking of seats, the design of the Rogue Sport’s is excellent and supportive with a nice bottom cushion for taller drivers. You get the same nice clear gauges, convenient Advanced Driver Assist Display in between that can give you navi directions, audio info, text message alert, and other useful stuff, plus luxo touches like dual-zone climate control, pushbutton ignition, and power driver’s seat. The big sibling Rogue recently got a nice upgrade in materials, and this has carried over to the Rogue Sport. Oof! You pays your money, and you gets your thrills. ![]() It’s a nice-looking package – until you see the SL model’s massive 19” alloy wheels that really make the design pop. Our Palatial Ruby tester was the mid-level SV model, which adds to the base model’s LED running lights and sporty rear spoiler with nice stuff like 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails and LED turn indicators in the mirrors. Designed to compete against such city funsters as Mazda’s CX-3, Honda HR-V, and Toyota’s CH-R, it’s still a handy size, small enough for urban environments, yet roomy enough for longer road trips as well. Sport fits the smaller, more aggressive looking Rogue, being a good foot shorter than its big brother. And now we have a spinoff of Nissan’s exceptionally popular Rogue. Think Grand Cherokee, Camry Solara, Mustang II. Over the years there have been plenty of words used to keep certain brand names high on the sales charts, and to use the halo of well-earned reputations to promote the latest and greatest.
