2026 Nissan Rogue
Car and Driver says a Dark Armor trim joins the Rogue lineup for 2026 -- essentially a black-heavy SV trim with a 360-degree camera system, a panoramic sunroof, and heating for the front seats and steering wheel. MSRP runs $31,065-$40,965 with a 201-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder. MotorTrend says the sole powertrain (201 hp, 225 lb-ft, CVT, FWD or available AWD) should dash AWD versions from 0-60 mph in 8.4 seconds in MotorTrend testing, and says refinement, handling, and composure are at an all-time high for the Rogue -- reasons it beat its rivals in a Big Test comparison in 2023; MotorTrend lists top-ranked competitors as the Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-50, Honda CR-V, and Subaru Forester.
