The 2011 Nissan Rogue gets a subtly restyled nose thanks to a new grille and fascia, a freshened side view courtesy of chrome-accented door moldings, and a livelier tail with the addition of a rear spoiler. Overall, though, the 2011 Rogue continues to follow the pain-reliever-capsule school of styling: it’s rounded everywhere. The eye of the beholder will interpret this as an amorphous copout or an ambitious copy of the larger Nissan Murano crossover. Either way, Rogue won’t be confused with sleeker or squarer competitors.
This five-passenger four-door comes by its crossover credentials honestly. It’s based on the same unibody platform that underpins the Nissan Sentra compact car but crosses into SUV territory by virtue of its wagon body, elevated ride height, and available all-wheel drive (AWD).
Rogue is among the longest vehicles in its class. It’s 5-inches longer than the 2011 Honda CR-V and 1-inch longer that the 2011 Toyota RAV4 (which offers three-rows of seats). More significant, Rogue’s wheelbase is the longest in its competitive set. Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axles and key to how much space a vehicle allots for the passenger compartment. Against the CR-V and RAV4 benchmarks, Rogue’s wheelbase is longer than the Honda’s by nearly 3 inches and longer than the Toyota’s by about 1. Rogue has as much front-seat space as those two, but its rear-seat leg-room is no better and head room is tighter. And though Rouge’s 57.9 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seatback folded is greater than that of any compact car, it’s among the stingiest in the crossover class.
Critics have knocked Rogue’s cabin décor as Spartan at best, funeral at worst. Nissan responds by dressing up the 2011 Rogue’s dashboard with revised instrumentation and by giving the entry-level model “mood lighting” and new seat fabric. Overall, the cabin remains unadorned, and materials quality is middling. But we’ll take its calm shapes and ergonomic logic over some rivals’ pointless extravagance.
The 2011 Nissan Rogue returns in three levels of trim, though the midline version has a new name. The 2011 Nissan Rogue S repeats as the base model and the 2011 Rogue Krōm edition is back atop the line. In between is the 2011 Rogue SV, which replaces the SL model. Styling-wise, the 2011 Rogue Krōm (pronounced “chrome”) is distinguished from the S and SV by a slightly different grille and a front fascia with fog lights, a unique rear fascia with central exhaust outlets, body-colored mirrors, and bright-finished 18-inch alloy wheels. Those wheels are a size up from the 2010 Krōm’s standard 17-inch alloys and are newly optional for the Rogue SV. The 2011 Rogue S continues with 16-inch steel wheels as standard and the 2011 Rogue SV comes with 17-inch alloys.
