A Driver-Oriented, Ultra-Functional Interior

Nissan Rogue's interior, like its exterior, is designed to stand out in class with its sophisticated integration of a cockpit-like driver's space and exceptional utility. The driver's seat position offers excellent visibility, enhanced by an available seat lifter with up to two inches of seat height adjustability. Rogue's instrument panel layout and steering wheel are designed for easy readability and operation while also providing a sporty look and feel, with reddish-orange illumination and silver gauge surround rings.

An available trip computer includes displays for distance-to-empty, average fuel consumption, average speed, elapsed time and outside temperature. Available steering wheel-mounted controls include audio, Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System and cruise control.

Leather-appointed seating surfaces and heated front seats and mirrors are also available, along with a fold-flatfront passenger seat - which allows over 8.5 feet of front-to-rear cargo space for carrying long items such as wood or ladders. A rear 60/40 split-fold bench seat and oversize glove box with partition that measuresover half a cubic foot in volume are standard. Also available is a highly versatile, dual-level center console storage with hidden functionality features.

Nissan Rogue's roomy cargo area has a number of available utility features, including a unique cargo organizer. When needed, the organizer pops up - with a one touch open switch - from its hidden space below the flat cargo floor. A portion of the cargo floor snaps into a vertical position, revealing a flat recessed space with removable, vertical cargo nets. The system helps prevent items such as sports equipment and grocery bags from rolling loose around the cargo area while driving.

Also available is a washable, removable tray that fits below the cargo area floor to hold wet or dirty gear and tools and a rear tonneau cover to keep luggage and other items out of sight.

Nissan Rogue's everyday utility features also include a variety of cupholders, memo/pen holder, coin holder and cell phone/sunglass holders.

"Rogue's innovative storage solutions are designed to acco mmodate the active daily lives of its owners," said Bosley. "Just because a vehicle is smaller on the outside doesn't mean you have to compromise storage or utility space - all it takes is innovation and creative thinking.

"Among the advanced technology features available on Rogue are an Intelligent Key and a powerful Bose-developed audio system with 7 speakers and subwoofer with MP3 capability and satellite radio. Also available is a Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System, HomeLink Universal Transceiver garage door opener and Xenon headlights.


Engaging Performance of Nissan Rogue

While maintaining its functionality as a family vehicle, Nissan Rogue's creators also recognized the target buyers' desires for a higher level of acceleration, handling and fun-to-drive attributes than offered by traditional small crossover SUVs. Rogue delivers on this promise with an advanced drivetrain anchored by its powerful 2.5-liter engine, 4-wheel independent suspension and refined all-wheel drive system.

"We picture the typical Rogue driver, after he drops the kids off at school, lowering the windows, turning up the Bose audio and heading up the coast or mountains - his briefcase and gear tucked securely in the back - before turning back towards the office," said Bosley. "Rogue not only makes such a scenario possible, butencourages such adventures."
