Nissan’s SUV offensive continued with the Nissan Rogue, positioned somewhere between the current Nissan Murano and the recently unveiled Nissan Qashqai, set to be a competitor against the likes of the Honda CR-V, in fact it’s size is similiar, only slightly bigger. Something not as high and and luxurious as the Murano.
Designed first and foremost as a people mover (only 5 seats though!) with rugged yet sleek SUV looks and built on the Nissan Sentra’s C platform, the Nissan Rogue is front wheel drive in standard form with an optional all wheel drive drivetrain that can be specified. Two trim levels are available, the base Nissan Rogue S and the high spec Nissan Rogue SL. Both are powered by a 4-cylinder 2.4 litre engine equipped with a CVT transmission making 170 horsepower and 233Nm of torque. With the optional all wheel drive specified, you get an automatic transmission instead of a CVT.
The Nissan Rogue will make it’s debut 2007 Detroit Auto Show early next year. More photos after the jump

Harrier meet Murano and give birth to Rogue. definately looks better than the new CR-V. The interior seat Fabrics sucks though.
leather seats are an option
UGLY!
the front looks similar to the USDM Sentra, sucks…
the rear, sucks…
won't sell much…
This is "ugly" twin of Murano!
Look low class fabric seat with unattracitve colour scheme some more, sigh!
Some more-more hah, leather seat is optional for a car same class with Honda CRV, should be as a standard!
External look like turtle shell, without clear line for bumber shape, especially the front slanting portion!
plain vers of murano with small wheels. nice interior with paddle shifter….aircond control like satria neo vertical version. hope they come out with better facelift model
looks much better than the new CR-V.
but clearly, this is an 'american' model bcos the front looks like a chevy SUV.
would love it if someone gave it to me.wouldnt buy one with money though.
interior looks very upmarket with crome trims at the right places
I really can't see any differences between Rogue and Qashqai other than its headlamp.
i really can't see any differences between Rogue and Qashqai other than its headlamp and longer body.
interior looks ok…but..exterior…still cant challenge its brother,murano…can c d influences of the new nissan altima on d xterior dsg…neway…average frm me…
seat looklike toto, you know toto?
but at least nissan look not bad laa today,………got a nissan look
but really hate a mundane nissan logo,
wil tis b d replacement 4 xtrail? since it is place between qashqai n murano n against crv..
Honda can laugh away with this ugly design.
nissan has good suv, and sporty sentra new
that can beat Honda, TOyota in 2007,
with her new plant ranking in higher volume.
if stupid tan chong brings this in..it will surely do well!…..the brand has been in the doldrums of late in malaysia coz of stupid tan chong…sellin old models!…..damn la…we deserve better
If it is launch in MALAYSIA,It will beat CR-V XD
Not my cup of tea.
=P
nice car from Nissan. i've always like Nissan cos i think they make good cars.
if the c2pid tan chong brings in the Rogue and Qashqai, it's going to be real tough choice on these two cars… i'd be happy to buy anyone.
thumbs up to Nissan… but they need improvement on the Cefiro design to fight with Honda Accord and Camry… if you check out the Singapore website of Nissan, you'll get to see the Cefiro there…
uglier qashqai
