“It's easy to drive, and if you don't take quick starts from a red light or stop sign, I can get 40 mph. At this time the unit's under 1k on it. Not an AWD.”
2025 Nissan Rogue: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Nissan Rogue is the first-ever Rock Creek trim, which adds a tougher look and light-duty adventure equipment. Otherwise, this is a light update that largely carries over from 2024.
About the 2025 Nissan Rogue
3rd generation Rogue (2021-present), second year after the 2024 refresh.
Nissan positions the Rogue as an everyday compact SUV for family duty, commuting, and road trips. The core pitch is simple: roomy cargo space, easy-to-use tech, strong fuel economy, available all-wheel-drive confidence, and a broad set of safety features. It is not sold as a sporty crossover; it is sold as a practical, comfortable, tech-friendly one. In 2025, the new Rock Creek version widens that formula with a tougher look and light dirt-road capability without changing Rogue’s family-first mission.
The 2025 Rogue lineup ranges from the straightforward S and better-equipped SV to the more rugged Rock Creek and upscale SL and Platinum. Rock Creek pairs standard AWD with an off-road camera view and hill descent control, while SL and Platinum feature 12.3-inch displays; Platinum adds quilted leather seating, Bose audio, and a panoramic moonroof.
