2019 Nissan Rogue Sport: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport is that Safety Shield 360 becomes standard on SV and SL trims. It is a meaningful safety and tech update, not a redesign.
About the 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport
1st generation (2017-2022), third model year, pre-refresh version before the 2020 styling update.
Nissan positions the Rogue Sport as a city-sized crossover with an easy-to-park footprint, higher seating position, flexible cargo space, and available AWD for bad weather. The core pitch is everyday urban usefulness rather than speed: easier maneuvering, good outward visibility, smartphone-friendly tech, and driver-assistance features that reduce stress in traffic, parking lots, and commuting. It sits below the larger Rogue as the more compact, more maneuverable choice.
The S is the practical, city-friendly trim, with a flexible cargo floor and straightforward phone connection. The SV is the sweet spot for added comfort and driver-assistance features, while the SL adds leather seats, navigation, Bose audio, a 360-degree camera, and extra highway-driving assistance.

Every trim gains a standard 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
