2011 nissan rogue review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Fresh styling for agile suv. introductionthe nissan rogue was restyled for 2011, with an upgraded look inside and out. Some of the model names have changed, and new features are available that were not before, including a navigation system, rearview monitor, a usb port, and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. the 2011 rogue gets fresh styling with a new front fascia and grille, new front and rear spoilers, new trim accents. Rogue's exterior is designed to present an image of modern sophistication. Its dramatic styling includes dynamically arched forms and powerful rear shoulder lines. The extensive redesign for 2011 adds to its sporty feel, while enhancing its upscale appearance. interior changes for 2011 include a new instrument panel design and a new center cluster. Leather-appointed seating surfaces are available along with a six-way power driver's seat and a 60/40 split folding rear bench seat. We found the cabin pleasant, with materials that would look good in higher-priced vehicles. In addition to the navigation system and rearview monitor, the rogue is available with nissan intelligent key, bluetooth, xm satellite radio and a powerful bose-developed audio system with seven speakers with woofer, aux input and mp3 playback. The controls are easy to use and understand. the rogue seats five. There is no third row available for seven-passenger seating. The nissan rogue is a compact suv. Based on a car platform, it's considered a crossover vehicle, like the honda cr-v, hyundai tucson, and chevy equinox. Utility is enhanced by numerous convenient storage and ultra-functionality features, including an oversized glove compartment, a large center console and a washable, removable tray that fits below the cargo area floor to hold wet or dirty gear and tools. The rogue is meant as a daily commuter and weekend runabout, not an off-road adventure vehicle. We think it's one of the better handling small suvs, though we would not call it sporty. The ride allows for a lot of road feel and can become harsh on rough and irregular surfaces. Road imperfections and engine sounds intrude into the cabin. the rogue was introduced as a 2008 model, and changes since then have been minimal. For 2011, the styling has been updated inside and out, electronics have been advanced, and the packaging of the models has changed. lineupthe 2011 nissan rogue comes in rogue s and rogue sv models, a krom edition and an sl trim level. Rogue s awd 22,080) adds all-wheel drive. rogue sv 23,240) and rogue sv awd 24,490) feature automatic air conditioning, upgraded cloth upholstery, power driver seat, fold-flat front passenger seat, premium audio with six speakers, ipod/usb input, xm radio, bluetooth, steering wheel audio controls, 4. 3-inch color display, rearview monitor, intelligent key, painted mirrors, yakima-compatible roof rails.

A black and chrome nissan badge up front is flanked by a body-color or chrome grille. The sides, even those with chrome door handles and rub strips, are clean and smooth, with nothing to hide the clean lines. side mirrors are black on the rogue s and body color on the rogue sv. The standard wheels on the rogue s are stamped steel with plastic covers that look like five-spoke alloys from a distance. The 17-inch aluminum wheels that come with the rogue sv add a touch of drama, with five y spokes that seem to actively cling to the rim; 18-inch wheels are also available. The krom has a look all its own, still a rogue but more entertaining. we think the rogue looks best from the rear, where the dark rear glass, tapering taillights, rounded panels and license plate recess give it some definition. The rear liftgate lacks a separate opening glass but the hatch is not heavy and liftover not too high. among compact suvs, the rogue has a sleeker, car-based crossover look, like the cr-v, as opposed to the more-upright box-on-box look ford escape or jeep liberty. the rogue is among the longest vehicles in the class, though it doesn't look it. At 183 inches overall, it is even longer than the seven-passenger toyota rav4 and the bulkier-looking jeep liberty. interiorfor 2011, nissan rogue gets a new instrument panel and center stack and updated technology. The interior uses a simple, rounded design trimmed with quality materials. The dash, for instance, is molded in a soft-touch material that seems as if it might be right at home in an infiniti. The door tops also have a nice soft-touch material. The remainder of the materials is price-appropriate plastic that fits together well. the instrument panel features large, white-on-black tachometer and speedometer, with analog temperature and fuel conditions inset. Between the gauges is a digital display for trip computer data, outside temperature, gear selected, door-open warnings and so on. It has substantially sized buttons, and the presets are grouped in a, b, and c folders, each of which can mix radio bands; use the 18 presets as a group of six for three different drivers, locales, or attitudes. The center console has two integral cupholders and a small tray that will work for holding little odds and ends. If that's not enough, the console bin is very deep and is available with a removable tray to give it two levels of storage. The tilt steering wheel helps, and there is enough head for most adults and class-leading legroom. There is good visibility to the front and the side mirrors are large, but over-the shoulder visibility is compromised by a smallish rear window and rear side windows that are pinched at the rear. The ride height makes getting into and out of the rogue very easy. the second row is usefully roomy, with head and leg room that can accommodate adults, even with the front seats moved far back. Three adults in the rear will be cramped, but they should be able to deal with short trips. Toe space under the front seats is plentiful.
