When that cryptic dashboard warning light illuminates unexpectedly in a 2024 Nissan Rogue, it’s natural for the driver to feel anxious or confused. However, while mysterious, these symbols play a vital role in warning of potential issues with the vehicle. Without the ability to accurately interpret notifications such as the check engine light or ABS indicator, drivers risk ignoring problems or overreacting to them. Understanding what these warning lights mean and how to respond is crucial for maintaining the health and safety of the Nissan Rogue.

This guide will look at the most common warning lights in the new Nissan Rogue, their significance, and recommended actions to take.

Check Engine Light

The check engine light, depicted as an engine-shaped symbol, is arguably the most notorious dashboard warning light of all. It typically indicates a malfunction within the vehicle’s emission control system, but it can also signal other issues, such as a faulty mass airflow sensor or loose gas cap. Ignoring this warning can result in decreased fuel economy, potential engine damage, and even failure to pass emissions tests.

Recommended Actions

When the check engine light turns on, the vehicle owner should have a certified technician diagnose the issue with their 2024 Nissan Rogue as soon as possible. The technician will use specialized equipment to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes, which can give an insight into the specific issue causing the warning. It’s important that drivers do not ignore this light, even if their vehicle appears to be running fine.

Preventative Measures and Regular Maintenance

To prevent the check engine light from coming on, it’s important to keep up with the Rogue’s routine maintenance schedule as outlined in the owners manual. This includes changing the oil and filters regularly and performing any recommended tuneups or inspections.

Battery Warning Light

The battery warning light, displayed as a battery-shaped symbol, indicates an issue with the vehicle’s charging system. A faulty alternator, damaged battery, or loose connections could cause this. Ignoring the warning can result in the car stalling or even refusing to start.

Recommended Actions

If the battery warning light turns on, the driver should pull over and turn off any unnecessary electrical accessories, such as the radio or air conditioning. This will reduce strain on the battery and alternator. Driving long distances is not recommended until a certified technician resolves the issue.

Preventative Measures and Regular Maintenance

We recommend regular battery inspections to check for corrosion and to ensure all connections are secure. Additionally, it’s important that the vehicle’s charging system is checked during routine maintenance to catch any potential issues before they become bigger problems. The life expectancy of a car battery is typically 3-5 years, so we suggest replacing it within that time frame to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

ABS Warning Light

The ABS warning light, portrayed as the letters “ABS” inside a circle, indicates an issue with the vehicle’s braking system. Low brake fluid, a faulty sensor, or a malfunction in the ABS itself could trigger this warning. Ignoring it can decrease braking performance and potential loss of control while driving.

Recommended Actions

If the ABS warning light turns on while driving, the driver should proceed with caution and reduce their speed. They should also avoid sudden or aggressive braking, which can cause the wheels to lock up and skid. A certified technician should inspect the car to determine the cause of the warning and address any necessary repairs.

Preventative Measures and Regular Maintenance

To avoid potential issues with the vehicle’s braking system, the brake fluid levels should be checked regularly and topped off if needed. Also, routine maintenance should include inspecting the brakes for any signs of wear or damage. Replacing worn brake pads and rotors when needed can prevent more extensive and expensive repairs.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light

The TPMS light, depicted as an exclamation mark inside a horseshoe shape, indicates low tire pressure in one or more of the 2024 Nissan Rogue’s tires. Temperature changes, punctures, or normal wear over time can cause tire pressure to fluctuate, and ignoring this warning can lead to flat tires or uneven tread wear.

Recommended Actions

If the TPMS light turns on, the driver should use a tire gauge to check the tire pressure as soon as possible and inflate any tires with low pressure to the level recommended in the owners manual. If a tire loses pressure more frequently, it may have a slow leak or puncture.

Preventative Measures and Regular Maintenance

Nissan Rogue owners should regularly check their tires for any signs of damage or wear to prevent low tire pressure. Keeping them properly inflated can also improve fuel efficiency and prolong the life of the tires. The tire pressure can be checked during routine maintenance to catch any potential issues early on. We also recommend regularly rotating the tires to promote even wear.

Coolant Temperature Warning Light

The coolant temperature warning light, displayed as a thermometer inside a wavy line, means the engine is overheating. Low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, or a leak in the cooling system can trigger this warning. Ignoring this alert can result in severe engine damage and leave the driver and passengers stranded on the roadside.

Recommended Actions

If the coolant temperature warning light turns on, the driver should pull over as soon as it is safe and turn off the 2024 Nissan Rogue’s engine. They should allow the engine to cool down before checking the coolant levels and topping off if necessary. If there’s a visible leak or the light continues illuminating after adding coolant, they should have a certified technician inspect the vehicle.

Preventative Measures and Regular Maintenance

Regularly monitoring the coolant levels and ensuring they are adequately topped off is essential to avoid overheating. Additionally, a technician should thoroughly inspect the cooling system during routine vehicle maintenance to identify and rectify any leaks or potential malfunctions early on. The recommended coolant type should always be used and replaced according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

For Mobile, Alabama, drivers wanting a vehicle for heading out on family adventures, running errands around town, taking road trips, or all the above, two popular SUV models are the Nissan Murano and the Nissan Rogue. These SUVs have much in common but also some key differences. In this article, our Tameron Nissan team compares the 2024 models to help drivers choose the right one for their needs.

Exterior Design

The Nissan Murano and Nissan Rogue both offer distinctive exterior designs catering to different market segments. The Murano presents a more upscale and bold aesthetic, with sculpted lines, a prominent grille, and a sleek profile. Its floating roofline and boomerang-shaped headlights contribute to its modern appeal. Some of the available exterior colors include the following:

• Boulder Gray Pearl.
• Brilliant Silver Metallic.
• Deep Ocean Blue Metallic.
• Pearl White TriCoat.
• Scarlet Ember Tintcoat.
• Super Black.

In contrast, the Nissan Rogue adopts a more mainstream SUV look, with a prominent V-motion grille, muscular wheel arches, and a rugged stance. While the Murano aims for a premium feel, the Rogue prioritizes practicality and versatility, appealing to a wider audience with its more conventional design. Exterior color options for the Rogue include the following:

• Gun Metallic.
• Scarlet Ember Tintcoat.
• Champagne Silver Metallic.
• Everest White TriCoat.
• Super Black.

Engine Specifications and Performance

All 2024 Nissan Murano trims come with the same engine: a 3.5-liter V-6 producing 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. The engine pairs with standard front-wheel drive (FWD) or optional all-wheel drive (AWD). Regardless of the powertrain configuration, the Murano offers the same fuel efficiency: 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.

The 2024 Nissan Rogue uses a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that produces 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. As with the Murano, FWD is standard, but AWD is available. Unlike the Murano, the drivetrain configuration impacts fuel efficiency. Choosing the standard FWD delivers 30 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway, while AWD drops those estimates to 28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. The Nissan Murano is the more powerful vehicle, but the Rogue offers better gas mileage.

Interior Space

Moving inside, the 2024 Nissan Murano offers a spacious cabin with high-quality materials throughout. Upscale elements include soft leather on the seats and door panels and a band of dark teak wood for the trim. The heavily cushioned front seats provide a comfortable ride for the driver and passenger. In the back, a reclining bench seat ensures passengers can relax on long drives. The Murano offers 32.1 cubic feet of space behind the back seat.

The 2024 Nissan Rogue also offers a modern cabin, but the interior is a little smaller. While the Murano has 108.1 cubic feet of passenger volume, the Rogue comes in at 105.4 cubic feet. However, the cargo area is larger in the Rogue, with 36.5 cubic feet of space with the back seat up. 

Comfort and Technology

Both the 2024 Nissan Murano and Nissan Rogue come with plenty of amenities to make driving in Mobile more enjoyable. Some of the features inside the Murano include heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and ambient lighting. The infotainment system comes with an 8-inch color touch-screen display that runs NissanConnect. Standard features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations, SiriusXM radio, and a navigation system. Alabama drivers who choose the SL or Platinum trim can play all their favorite media through the premium Bose audio system.

The Rogue offers similar features in a more stylish cabin that includes a squared-off shift knob and a bi-level dashboard. Available comfort features include three-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and genuine leather upholstery. There are plenty of storage cubbies throughout the cabin, making it easier to keep the interior tidy. The Rogue offers an 8- or 12.3-inch infotainment screen that uses built-in Google-based software.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is a top priority on SUVs like the 2024 Nissan Murano and the 2024 Nissan Rogue. Thankfully, both vehicles come with plenty of the latest safety innovations as standard inclusions. Features on both models include the following:

• Forward collision warning.
• Automated emergency braking.
• Blind-spot monitoring.

Because of these safety features and many others, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave both the Murano and the Rogue a five-star overall safety rating. As for driver-assistance features, both SUVs come with an intelligent around-view monitor. We highly recommend drivers explore both vehicles in person to see all the features these models offer.

Pricing and Value

The 2024 Nissan Murano and the 2024 Nissan Rogue come in several trim levels, which determine the included features and the price. By offering different trim levels, Nissan makes it easier to find a model that fits drivers’ preferred balance of features and cost. The available trims for the 2024 Nissan Murano are as follows:

Nissan has manufactured the Altima sedan for 30 years. Now in its sixth generation, the Altima continues to impress sedan lovers with its confident driving dynamics, expressive style, and the latest must-have tech to keep connected and safe.

Meet the 2024 Nissan Altima, a midsize sedan with thrilling performance, sophisticated style, and a modern interior that cradles passengers in comfort and keeps pace with busy lifestyles. This guide takes a closer look at the Altima’s expansive and spacious interior.

Interior Dimensions

The Altima’s cabin features a spacious, modern design. Five passengers ride comfortably, and the 60/40-split folding second-row seat offers multiple cargo configurations. 

Front passengers enjoy 39.1 inches of headroom (without moonroof), 58.2 inches of shoulder room, 54.7 inches of hip room, and 43.8 inches of legroom in the base model. Full-sized adults won’t suffer in the back seat with 36.9 inches of headroom, 57.1 inches of shoulder room, 54.5 inches of hip room, and 35.2 inches of legroom. 

Trunk space in the Altima measures 15.4 cubic feet, with plenty of room for golf clubs or suitcases. Fold the rear seat down and open up 58.1 cubic feet of space to load longer, more oversized items.

Interior Features

Nissan refreshed the Altima for the 2023 model year and continues to add modern advancements with the 2024 model. 

Upholstery and Seating Comfort

The lower trims have cloth upholstery. Top models offer leather-trimmed seats in various styles and colors to suit the most discriminating drivers. Matte chrome accents and an available carbon-fiber design trim add refined style.

Nissan uses Zero Gravity Seats inspired by the weightlessness felt in space. The design helps reduce fatigue and improve comfort by minimizing pressure points on the body while traveling.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The base model has a 7.0-inch touch screen that powers your infotainment, but the top tiers feature a 12.3-inch display. Nissan includes Apple CarPlay, Google Assistant, Alexa Built-in, and Android Auto capability, enabling smartphone synchronization and hands-free operation.

On higher trims, the Altima turns into a Wi-Fi hotspot that connects up to seven devices. Voice recognition technology allows the driver to ask their Altima for help, from finding a gas station, hotel, or restaurant to making phone calls, streaming their favorite music, or controlling smart home devices.

An available Bose premium audio system provides theater-quality sound for music and podcasts. A trial subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio lets drivers explore hundreds of programming options.

The MyNISSAN app offers remote connectivity from wherever there’s a signal. Lock or unlock the car, find it in large parking garages, set climate controls, and more, all from the app.

Climate Control

Everyone rides comfortably thanks to the Nissan Altima’s dual-zone climate control system and rear passenger vents. An in-cabin microfilter helps keep the air fresh and clean. It’s next-level air conditioning that passengers will love. Drivers can dial up the heat or air conditioning to the perfect temperature before entering.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Every Nissan Altima comes with the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of driver-assist technologies. These systems use radar and optical sensors to scan around the Altima, alerting the driver to possible hazards. In certain situations, these systems can engage emergency brake support and corrective steering to help mitigate or avoid a potential accident.

Automatic Emergency Braking With Pedestrian Detection

This system uses radar to scan the way ahead, alerting the driver to cars slowing or stopping. It also detects pedestrians and alerts the driver as they cross the street. The system automatically engages the brakes if there is no reaction to the alerts.

Rear Automatic Braking

By scanning behind the vehicle, the rear automatic braking system detects large, stationary objects and alerts the driver. This technology also activates emergency braking if the operator ignores the alerts.

Blind-Spot Warning

The blind-spot warning system gives the driver eyes where they usually can’t see. Sensors scan to the sides and behind the Altima and sound an alert when vehicles approach. Change lanes with confidence on busy highways.

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

Back up confidently with the rear cross-traffic alert system. This system uses sensors to detect vehicles crossing behind the vehicle while in reverse and alerts the driver, providing emergency brake support if necessary.

Lane Departure Warning

Forward-facing sensors track the Altima when traveling within marked lanes. This system detects unintentional drift from your lane and alerts the driver.

High Beam Assist

Never blinding an oncoming car again, high-beam assist technology detects oncoming traffic and automatically switches to low beams, then back to high beams when clear.

ProPILOT Assist

This available system lets drivers set their speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. ProPILOT uses gentle steering correction to keep the vehicle centered in its lane and will slow the Altima down as traffic ahead slows. If needed, it can bring the Altima to a complete stop and return to the preset speed and distance when the way ahead clears.

Intelligent Around View Monitor

Drivers love the 3-D image of their surroundings from above with the available Intelligent Around View Monitor. It provides the distance to the curb and cars as the Altima navigates tight quarters.

Intelligent Forward Collision Warning

This optional technology scans two cars ahead, looking for and alerting the driver to sudden slowdowns. If the operator fails to react, the system activates automatic emergency braking.

For those feeling overwhelmed from shopping for a sedan that provides a range of safety features, there is good news. They can put their minds at ease and look no further than the Nissan Sentra. This compact sedan has been praised by various organizations for its reliability and safety, and the 2024 model year continues this legacy. With its advanced safety features, including ProPILOT assist, intelligent forward collision warning, and intelligent Around View Monitor, the new Sentra will surely provide drivers with even more peace of mind. Read on to learn more about the key safety features of the 2024 Nissan Sentra.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

Nissan’s safety technologies include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to assist driving activities, such as braking, parking, monitoring, and steering. These systems use the Sentra’s cameras and sensors to automatically detect driver errors or nearby obstacles and respond accordingly. Here’s a closer look at the ADAS in the 2024 Sentra:

• ProPILOT Assist: This feature uses steering assist and intelligent cruise control technologies to make driving not only more enjoyable but also more intuitive. Intelligent cruise control helps drivers maintain a preset distance from the vehicles ahead while steering assist technology automatically provides steering inputs to help keep the vehicle in its lane. 
• Blind-spot warning: The 2024 Nissan Sentra also comes with a blind-spot warning system that constantly monitors the vehicle’s blind spots. When the vehicle detects an object, a pedestrian, or another vehicle in its blind spot areas, the system alerts the driver by automatically activating the indicator light near the side mirror.
• Rear cross-traffic alert: When the vehicle is in reverse and the sensors detect another vehicle approaching from either side, the system notifies the driver with an audible warning and a flashing indicator on the door mirror on the same side as the approaching vehicle.

Active Safety Features

The new Nissan Sentra not only comes with ADAS but also a suite of advanced active safety features known as Safety Shield 360. This cutting-edge technology monitors the vehicle’s surroundings and automatically steps in to help respond to collisions. While this assistive technology doesn’t replace the role of the driver, it works to help ensure the safety of passengers while on the road. The following are some of the active safety features included in Nissan’s Safety Shield 360:

• Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection: This safety feature is responsible for helping the driver avoid or reduce the impact of a crash. It provides audio and visual alerts and applies the brakes when a collision is about to occur with a pedestrian or another vehicle. 
• Lane departure warning: If the driver loses focus and accidentally veers to the right or left, lane departure warning immediately kicks in. The system provides visual and audio alerts if the driver begins to drift outside of their lane, allowing time to correct the issue before a potential accident occurs. 
• High beam assist: If a driver is constantly adjusting their headlights as they drive, then Nissan’s high beam assist technology has got it covered. This advanced safety technology automatically switches high beams to low beams when it detects oncoming traffic, helping the driver stay focused on the road ahead rather than on the vehicle’s headlights. 
• Rear cross-traffic alert: Backing out of a spot in a busy parking lot can be tricky, as it can be hard to see what’s happening around the car. This is where the rear cross-traffic alert comes in. It notifies the driver when it detects a car approaching the area behind the vehicle, allowing time to avoid a potential collision.  
• Rear automatic braking: When a vehicle is in reverse, rear automatic braking checks for obstacles and applies the brakes when it detects an object. This helps prevent collisions and protects the car from damage. 
• Blind-spot warning: If the blind-spot warning system detects a vehicle in a driver’s blind spot, an indicator light near the side mirror will illuminate. Also, if the turn signal is activated in the same direction where the system detected the vehicle, the system will provide the driver with an audio alert so they can have a better sense of when to change lanes safely. 

Passive Safety Features

Passive safety features are responsible for reducing or managing the damage caused by an accident. If the vehicle’s active safety features fail to function in the event of a crash, the passive safety features kick in to keep everything under control. Perhaps the most obvious passive safety features are the car’s air bags, anti-lock braking system (ABS), and zone body construction. Here’s a closer look at each of these passive safety features:

• Advanced air bag system: Nissan knows that an accident is sometimes inevitable, no matter how careful the driver is. That’s why the manufacturer installed an advanced air bag system that immediately activates in a crash, so the driver is better protected.
• ABS: Nissan’s ABS reduces the chance of wheel lock when the driver presses hard on the brakes, preventing the vehicle from skidding. The system also operates in conjunction with the vehicle’s electronic brake-force distribution, which identifies any additional weight at the rear and adjusts the braking force accordingly.
• Zone body construction: This divides the vehicle into three zones, namely the rear and front crumple zones, and a reinforced passenger cabin. These zones absorb crash energy through deforming structural members and cross members, protecting the driver and passengers during a front collision.

For drivers looking to upgrade their commutes in Mobile, Alabama, with a spacious, fun-to-drive SUV, the team at Tameron Nissan would like to introduce the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder. The Pathfinder has a well-earned reputation for being a capable, family-friendly vehicle.  Building on that legacy, Nissan continues to improve the Pathfinder, offering a more spacious cabin with the latest must-have tech to keep drivers connected, no matter where the road takes them.

We’ll explore the various Pathfinder models by taking a deep dive into their cargo and passenger space, as well as their most popular features and customizations.

Overview of the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder

An adventurous life needs a capable SUV such as the Pathfinder to visit new destinations or revisit old ones. The Pathfinder has room for eight passengers, ample cargo space, and an available four-wheel-drive system to take its riders off the beaten track.

The intelligent drivetrain allows motorists to dial in their adventures with seven selectable drive and terrain modes for specific conditions. The Mud/Rut mode distributes torque to handle soft, slick surfaces other SUVs get stuck in, while Sand mode provides the traction needed to navigate through the Gulf of Mexico’s white sandy beaches.

When a road trip destination involves the mountains for skiing and snowboarding fun, drivers can count on Snow mode to get to their destination. On normal surfaces, the operator can dial in their fuel economy with Eco mode or turn up the thrills with Sport mode. When an excursion calls for adventure toys, Tow mode pulls its weight, aided by a 284-horsepower engine capable of towing up to 6,000 pounds.

The Nissan Pathfinder is capable of almost any adventure, in addition to its versatility. Three rows of seats fit eight people, or if second-row captain’s chairs are preferred, the seating capacity drops to seven.

Premium materials, impressive space, and high-quality craftsmanship make getting into the Pathfinder’s cabin feel like slipping into a luxurious sanctuary. A semi-aniline leather interior, heated and ventilated seats, and cutting-edge tech greet drivers and their companions with comfort and convenience after every trail hike.

The tech-laden cabin features a 12.3-inch digital customizable dashboard and a separate 8-inch touch screen powered by NissanConnect software. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth come pre-loaded for convenience. Download the MyNISSAN App and enjoy remote connectivity, customizable alerts, emergency response services, and more.

Passenger Space

The 2024 Pathfinder’s 114.2-inch wheelbase supports its overall length of 197.7 inches, width of 77.9 inches, and height of 70.9 inches. All this results in 148.5 cubic feet of passenger volume. Front passengers will enjoy 42.3 inches of headroom, 44.3 inches of legroom, 58.3 inches of hip room, and 60.8 inches of shoulder room. 

The second row offers 39.6 inches of headroom, 35.5 inches of legroom, 56.3 inches of hip room, and 59.6 inches of shoulder room. In the third row, passengers have 37.8 inches of headroom, 28 inches of legroom, 46.7 inches of hip room, and 58.4 inches of shoulder room.

Cargo Space

The Pathfinder’s seating for up to eight people makes it perfect for large families. It’s also well suited for smaller families who love camping and other outdoor excursions, thanks to its generous cargo capacity and versatile seating configurations.

The 2024 Pathfinder’s cargo hold measures 16.6 cubic feet behind the third row, offering ample space for runs to the grocery store and the kids’ sporting gear. Folding the third row down expands the cargo capacity to 45.0 cubic feet. That’s enough space to hold all those jumbo multipacks from big-box stores or all the camping gear needed for the weekend. 

If drivers plan on hauling gear instead of people, they can fold the second and third rows flat to get 80.5 cubic feet of cargo space. The total space measures 79.8 inches long, 45.7 inches wide, and 33.3 inches tall. Imagine what can fit into that amount of space.

Optional Features and Customizations

Nissan offers the Pathfinder with a front-wheel-drive system, or customers can opt for its intelligent four-wheel-drive system for enhanced traction and control. We recommend the Pathfinder Platinum trim for a premium fit and finish or the Rock Creek edition for those adventure seekers who enjoy leaving the pavement in the rearview mirror. Rock Creek’s rugged, stylish upgrades include an off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, and a power boost of 295 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.

If desired, swap out the standard second-row bench seat for two captain’s chairs with a center console and drink and storage space. The center console can be removed to provide a walk-through space for easy access to the third row.

Another optional piece of equipment we suggest adding is the motion-activated liftgate. Whether carrying boogie boards or groceries, the door can be opened simply by waving a foot beneath the rear bumper sensor. We also like the optional 9-inch touch screen for improved operations and the Wi-Fi system to connect multiple devices. 

Every Nissan Pathfinder has a suite of driver-assist systems designed to elevate the Mobile driving experience. Optional technology, such as Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, takes the stress from a commute. ProPILOT Assist uses technology and GPS mapping to automatically adjust the Pathfinder’s speed to match traffic flow. 

When the traffic slows down, the system slows the Pathfinder down, even to a complete stop. The vehicle stays centered in its lane and uses mapping to identify and navigate curves, interchanges, and junctions. It can also be set to adjust its speed based on traffic signs. 

Test-Drive the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder in Mobile, Alabama

You won’t find a more capable, tech-laden, and spacious SUV than the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder. With seating for up to eight people, an impressive cargo capacity, premium materials, and a quality build, the Pathfinder can handle any excursion. If you want an adventure-ready vehicle the whole family will love, we invite you to browse our online inventory. 

When you identify a model that interests you, visit our showroom at 1015 E. Interstate 65 Service Road S. in Mobile, Alabama. One of our knowledgeable staff will answer your questions, demonstrate the Pathfinder’s popular features, and arrange for you to take your preferred model for a test drive.

The demand for SUVs continues to grow as drivers want the comfort, style, and versatility these vehicles offer. In addition, drivers want practical towing from their SUVs. Our team at Tameron Nissan would like to introduce the 2024 Nissan Rogue, an SUV that balances commuter comfort with the towing capability drivers need.

Overview of the 2024 Nissan Rogue

The Nissan Rogue is a midsize crossover SUV that offers excellent fuel economy without sacrificing power, making it ideal for urban adventures and road trips. The spacious cabin provides premium comfort, cutting-edge tech, and ample cargo space.

Powertrains

The Rogue features a capable front-wheel-drive (FWD) system. Drivers looking for better traction and control on soft or slick surfaces can opt for Nissan’s intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD). The AWD toggles power between the axles to provide torque to the wheels.

FWD Rogues have Normal, Sport, and Eco drive modes letting drivers tune their engine, throttle, and steering to suit their moods. AWD models add two drive modes: An Off-Road mode provides enhanced traction on dirt roads, while the Snow mode delivers confident driving in wintry weather.

Interior and Cargo Space

The Nissan Rogue seats five passengers in luxurious comfort. Quilted leather seats allow for a sophisticated, relaxing ride. Full specifications have yet to be released, but we expect similar features to the 2023 model, with 43.3 inches of legroom in the front and 38.5 inches in the rear.

The Rogue’s versatile cabin should have around 37 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. The remote-operated split-folding back seat offers multiple passenger and cargo configurations. Folding the rear seat flat opens around 74 cubic feet of cargo area.

Doors

Drivers love the Rogue’s technology package and many family- and kid-friendly features. The rear doors open almost ninety degrees, making getting the little ones in and out of car seats easy. The available motion-activated liftgate opens the back cargo door with a foot kick beneath the bumper.

Technology

All passengers can use Bluetooth, Wireless Apple CarPlay, or Wireless Android Auto to sync their smart devices. Charging ports in the front and rear keep everyone powered up. Dual 12.3-inch display screens have all your favorite apps plus the Google Assistant. Built-in navigation can run on the digital dashboard, or drivers can move it to the head-up display.

Safety Features

Driver-assistance specs have yet to be fully released. Still, we expect every Rogue will have Nissan’s Safety Shield 360, a driver-assistance suite that elevates the driving experience and enhances safety. The 2023 Rogue suite included automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection that monitors the traffic ahead, watches for pedestrians and cyclists, and alerts drivers to slow down. In some situations, this system will engage emergency brake support to help mitigate or avoid a possible accident. 

A rear automatic braking system detects large stationary objects behind the vehicle while in reverse. If the driver fails to react to alerts, the system will apply the brakes. The blind-spot monitoring system uses sensors that signal when vehicles enter a driver’s blind spots, allowing them to change lanes confidently. 

The rear cross-traffic alert system uses similar technology to alert the driver to vehicles crossing behind the car while backing up. Nissan’s lane-keep assist system notices when the vehicle drifts from its lane, sending a gentle vibration to the steering wheel.

Like the 2023 model, we expect the 2024 Rogue to have the optional ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link system. This enhanced adaptive cruise control technology keeps the Rogue at a preset speed and distance in traffic. It also helps the Rogue stay centered in its lane, navigate curves, and automatically adjust to speed limits.

Other optional safety systems we expect for 2024 include the Intelligent Around View Monitor. This system uses five cameras to render an image from above the Rogue, allowing drivers to navigate tight spaces easily. It has split-screen capability that shows the driver closeup views of the curbside, front, and rear.

Towing Capacity of the 2024 Rogue

The Rogue offers spirited driving dynamics, powered by a 1.3-liter turbocharged inline three-cylinder engine coupled with a continuously variable transmission. This powertrain produces 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. 

As a result, the Rogue offers up to 1,500 pounds of towing capacity. Drivers won’t be able to tow large trailers or boats, but they can enhance their excursions.
