The third generation Rogue debuted in 2021, and was a major upgrade over its predecessor. Originally powered by a 181-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine teamed with a CVT, the four-cylinder was replaced with a 201-hp turbo three-cylinder for the 2022 model year. Interior space and quality of materials have improved but the third seat option is gone. A new Platinum trim brings upscale touches, such as quilted leather seats, head-up display, heated rear seats, and upgraded infotainment system. The new Rogue feels solid and substantial with a composed ride and nimble handling. Controls are easy to use but it may take some getting used to the electronic gear selector. Standard advanced safety and driver assist systems, include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic warning, lane departure warning, and more. For 2025, a new Rock Creek trim was added, and ProPilot 2.1 is optional on top trims.
