Nissan announced Monday the 2017 Rogue Sport will go
on sale May 11 in U.S. showrooms, starting from US$ 22,380 for a base S
front-wheel drive model, including the US$ 960 destination charge.
The
better-equipped SV model starts from US$ 23,980 and the top SL grade goes from US$ 27,030. All-wheel drive is available on all three models for an additional US$ 1,350.
The least-expensive Nissan Rogue S goes for US$ 24,760,
so the Rogue Sport gets a sizable price cut over its larger sibling. Instead of the Rogue’s 2.5-liter four, the
Sport comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 141 horsepower,
mated to a CVT transmission.
Nissan says there’s room for 22.9 cubic feet
of cargo with the rear seats up, and 61.1 with the seats down, making it a good
rival for the Honda HR-V. Tthe Rogue Sport will be
available with comfort features such as navigation and an Around View monitor,
as well as the adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and other safety
features.
