Nissan Rogue Sport
The Rogue Sport’s name is a bit of a misnomer. Nissan’s subcompact crossover is simply a smaller relative of its sibling, the Rogue, not a sportier version. However, the Rogue Sport’s pint-sized footprint does allow it to be remarkably maneuverable and fuel-efficient. Other positive attributes include its attractive styling and impressive list of standard safety features. On the downside, some owners grumble about the Rogue Sport’s sluggish driving demeanor, underwhelming creature comforts, and lack of cargo space, even for an extra-small SUV.

Nissan Rogue Sport Model Lineup
The Rogue Sport is a subcompact crossover SUV with available seating for five. It is the smallest sport-ute in Nissan’s lineup, measuring roughly 10 inches shorter than the compact Rogue.
Nissan offers the Rogue Sport in three trims: the entry-level S, the mid-tier SV, and the top-of-the-line SL. Each version comes well-equipped, particularly as it relates to safety features. Blind-spot warning and forward collision mitigation became standard for the 2018 model year, while rear parking sensors followed for 2021. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto joined the Rogue Sport’s list of standard features for 2019, as did a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, which replaced a 5.0-inch display. Notable options include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a surround-view camera, a sunroof, and adaptive cruise control.
Under the hood, the Rogue Sport employs a 141-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). It drives the front wheels, unless the model is equipped with optional all-wheel drive. No hybrid or electric versions have been offered to date.
