2022 Nissan Rogue: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The big change for the 2022 Nissan Rogue is a new standard 201-hp 1.5-liter turbo engine paired with a revised automatic transmission. The recent redesign, four-trim lineup, styling, cabin, and safety features otherwise carry over with few major changes.
About the 2022 Nissan Rogue
3rd generation Rogue (T33), second model year after the 2021 redesign and before the later mid-cycle update.
Nissan positions the Rogue as a family-focused compact SUV that mixes easy everyday driving with a more upscale feel than many mainstream rivals. The core pitch is flexible cargo space, a roomy cabin, strong standard safety tech, and useful connectivity, all wrapped in a design that looks more premium than the average commuter crossover. For most shoppers, the Rogue is the practical do-everything Nissan: comfortable for daily use, road trips, and small-family duty without moving up to a larger SUV.
The S covers the basics with an 8-inch touchscreen, smartphone integration, LED headlights, and a broad safety suite, while the SV adds adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, and more everyday comfort features. The SL focuses on comfort with leather-trimmed seats, a panoramic moonroof, and a 360-degree camera. The Platinum tops the lineup with quilted leather, a 12.3-inch digital gauge display, a 9-inch navigation touchscreen, Bose audio, and upgraded highway driving assistance.
