2019 Nissan Rogue: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2019 Nissan Rogue is a major expansion of standard safety and driver-assistance features across the lineup. It is a late-cycle equipment update, not a redesign; the body, engines, and overall layout carry over.
About the 2019 Nissan Rogue
2nd generation (2014-2020), late-cycle update year; final model year for Rogue Hybrid before the all-new 2021 Rogue redesign.
Nissan positions the Rogue as a family-friendly compact SUV built around easy everyday use. The brochure leans on driver-assistance technology, flexible cargo storage, and a roomy cabin more than sporty driving. What sets it apart is the clever Divide-N-Hide cargo setup, a long list of safety features, and comfort-focused features that make commuting, errands, and road trips easier. In this class, the Rogue is the practical, comfort-first pick rather than the most powerful or most athletic one.
The S is the straightforward family version, with a 7-inch touchscreen, smartphone integration, and a flexible cargo system. The SV adds everyday comforts such as heated front seats and a motion-activated liftgate, while the gas SL brings leather, navigation, Bose audio, a surround-view camera, and standard ProPILOT Assist. SV Hybrid and SL Hybrid models pair their respective comfort levels with a four-cylinder hybrid system and electric motor.

Tech
