Nissan has announced U.S. pricing for the third-generation 2021 Rogue and the good news is the redesigned SUV is only marginally more expensive than the outgoing model. The starting MSRP is US$ 25,650, which means the base 2021 Nissan Rogue S FWD costs just US$ 160 more than the equivalent 2020 model. The price excludes a destination and handling fee of US$ 1,095.

Based on an all-new platform, the 2021 Nissan Rogue promises enhanced driving dynamics thanks to a more powerful engine and new Vehicle Motion Control system. The 2.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine delivers 181 HP and 245 Nm of torque in combination with a standard CVT and front-wheel drive.

 

All-wheel-drive is an option on all trim levels, which include the Rogue S, Rogue SV, Rogue SL and the new Rogue Platinum. Two optional packages are available: the SV Premium Package at US$ 2,660 and the SL Premium Package at US$ 1,320. Nissan mentions “a wide range of standard equipment” but does not provide more details. It does say that the Nissan Safety Shield 360 safety pack is standard on all models and includes the most standard safety technologies in the segment. Available features include the new ProPilot Assist with Navi-link, Nissan Intelligent Key expanded to the rear doors, class-exclusive Tri-Zone Climate Control, and wireless charging.

Depending on the trim level, the interior features a combination of three displays: a full-color 10.8-inch head-up display, 12.3-inch Digital Dashboard gauge cluster, and a ‘floating’ 9.0-inch touch screen display with available wireless Apple CarPlay integration.

 

The all-new 2021 Nissan Rogue arrives in U.S. dealerships in late October.
