Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport
Second-generation Rogue Sport/Qashqai for the U.S. (2017-2022), using the facelifted version introduced for 2020; 2022 is the final U.S. model year.
Nissan positions Rogue Sport as a city-friendly small crossover with a higher seating position, easy maneuverability, flexible cargo space, standard driver-assistance tech, and optional AWD. In Nissan’s SUV range it sits between the Kicks and the larger Rogue: easier to park than the Rogue, but offering more space and capability than the Kicks. Its core job is everyday commuting, errands, and family use rather than sporty driving or serious off-road work.
The 2022 Rogue Sport lineup includes the basic S, comfort-focused SV, and upscale SL. The S has a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Nissan’s standard safety suite, while the SV adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and remote start. The SL stands out with leather seating, highway-driving assistance, a 360-degree camera, and built-in navigation.
