Nissan Rogue Sport S, SV & SL Trims

The trim order is S, SV, then SL. S is the straightforward base trim, SV adds everyday comfort and convenience, and SL is the upscale version with leather and more advanced driving and parking technology on later models.

The S is the simplest Rogue Sport. On later models, it has cloth seats, 17-inch alloy wheels, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the model’s standard safety suite. It suits shoppers who mainly want the core crossover.

The SV is the comfort-focused middle trim. In recent years, it adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, dual-zone climate control, keyless start, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat while retaining the same engine as the S.

The SL is the most upscale and technology-focused trim. On newer models, it adds leather seating, highway driving assistance, a 360-degree parking camera, built-in navigation, traffic-sign recognition, and 19-inch alloy wheels.

In recent years, the SV adds the comfort features most drivers notice daily: heated front seats and steering wheel, remote start, dual-zone climate control, keyless start, a power driver’s seat with back support adjustment, and a six-speaker audio system.

On newer Rogue Sports, the SL adds leather seats and more advanced technology. Its defining upgrades include highway steering and speed assistance, a 360-degree parking camera, built-in navigation, traffic-sign recognition, and larger 19-inch wheels.

They share the same basic engine and compact body, but the experience is noticeably different on later models. The S focuses on essentials with cloth seats, while the SL adds leather, more driving assistance, a 360-degree camera, navigation, and larger wheels.

The SV is the practical target for many commuters. In recent years, it keeps the S model’s size and powertrain but adds remote start, heated seats, dual-zone climate control, keyless start, and a power driver’s seat without requiring the SL’s premium extras.

The SV is a sensible starting point because newer versions have heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and remote start with climate control. The SL also carries those comforts. AWD is a separate drivetrain detail, so check the exact used vehicle.

The SL has the strongest parking aid on newer models: a 360-degree camera that shows the area around the vehicle. Every Rogue Sport is compact and city-friendly, but that overhead-style view makes tight spaces easier to judge.

The SL is the leather-equipped trim in the later lineup. The S uses cloth, while the SV focuses on comfort upgrades such as heated seats and power driver adjustment without moving to the SL’s leather-appointed cabin.

From 2019 onward, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across S, SV, and SL through the 7-inch touchscreen. Earlier Rogue Sports differ, so confirm the infotainment equipment when considering a 2017 or 2018 example.

Not on 2020 through 2022 models. Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 suite is standard on every trim in those years. Earlier cars vary: the midyear 2018.5 update added several key warnings to all trims, while the broader suite reached SV and SL first.

The SL is the trim most closely tied to ProPILOT Assist on later models. This system helps manage speed, following distance, and steering on marked highways. For 2019, it was standard on SL and part of optional equipment for SV.

No. S, SV, and SL describe equipment levels, while front-wheel drive and AWD describe how engine power reaches the road. Used examples differ, so verify the drivetrain rather than assuming an SV or SL badge automatically means AWD.
