Although the car belongs to the best rated used cars under 15000 or compact crossovers, conquering unassailable peaks is not necessary to perceive it and test its passability. Appearance is deceptive, and Nissan has presented in the USA exactly family 5-door Nissan Rogue. But it is also possible to go to the mountains in it, only with all your relatives.
The line of these crossovers has a short history due to their age. Its first appearance at the auto show is dated January 7, 2007. From then until 2014, the first-generation Nissan Rogue was produced. They were rounded mini SUVs with wide-set headlights and a grille with wave-like cells. The moldings, door handles, and grille was chrome plated. Roof rails are obligatory attributes of the first generation. The car looked like a toy but showed itself on the road with all its seriousness.
In 2011, Nissan Rogue updated its bodywork - the bumpers became more massive, and a spoiler with stop lights appeared above the tailgate. A year later, in 2012, the next restyling came up. The changes touched the wheels and the interior, along with the multimedia.
The 2017 Nissan Rogue is equipped with only gasoline engines from the Japanese concern. The first on the crossover appeared QR25DE - 2.5-liter atmospheric engine with four cylinders, arranged in a row, with direct fuel injection into the combustion chamber and two camshafts.
The unit produces from 170 to 175 horsepower. The QR25DE has been replaced by MR20DE - a compact 2-liter engine with the same structure and operating principle. Thanks to the change in the shape of the cylinder to oblong, it takes up much less space under the hood. In 2017, there was a hybrid version of the crossover, in which the QR25DE was combined with two electric motors powered by batteries hidden in the bottom of the car.
The exterior of the model is modest but tasteful. The body lines are rounded, arched, smoothly flowing one into another. Only wheel arches are slightly distinguished, and so all parts are in one place. The design makes abundant and stylish use of chrome elements. Turn signals are placed in the corners of the headlights, which have a dynamic shape, and in the mirrors. Rear lights are divided into two parts - one on the body, the second on the trunk lid.
The interior of the Nissan Rogue is spacious and comfortable. The Torpedo is small but functional and contains everything you need. In its center is concentrated all the car's multimedia - a wide display displays the navigator maps, gauge readings, video clips, and more. Six speakers around the cabin are responsible for the music. The upholstery is made of plastic and leatherette/leather.
