The 2016 Nissan Rogue was the facelifted version of the 2014 model, which was the same car as the one sold under the X-Trail nameplate in Europe.
The big competition in that segment forced the Japanese car-maker to refresh its model after just a couple of years after the introduction of the new generation. It added more safety options, such as pedestrian detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Lane Departure Prevention. On top of that, a Forward Emergency Braking system was introduced to avoid rear-ending accidents.
The most striking exterior difference was at the front, where the grille featured two big chromed bars and a redesigned bumper. For the headlights, the 2016 model featured new Daytime Running Lights. A new pair of rectangular fog-lights was introduced in the fake air-intakes from the outer sides of the apron. The LED taillights were similar, but not the same.
The five-seat interior of the 2016 Rogue featured a driver-oriented dash and an SUV-driving position. Inside the instrument cluster, between the speedometer and tachometer, the 2016 model received a 5” color display for various functions of the car. The infotainment system was upgraded to a 7” touch-screen display. It was standard on the Sport SL trim level. The seven-seat interior was deleted from the options list. In the back, there was room for three on a split-folding bench.
The Rogue was available with a choice of front or all-wheel-drive system. It was powered by either a 2.5-liter unit or by a 2.0-liter hybrid system. Both versions were paired to an X-Tronic CVT transmission.
