2010 Nissan Rouge Review

The new Rogue is offered in up-level SL and base S trim levels. It is powered by a 4-cylinder engine and is designed with all- or front-wheel drive. Five members can be seated comfortably in this vehicle. The main competitors of this vehicle are Saturn Vue and Toyota RAV4. For 2010, no important features are added. This vehicle is just similar to Nissan Murano, particularly with respect to the upward-sweeping D-pillar and egg-crate grille side. It is featured with a new 360-degree option package that consists of a privacy glass, a rear spoiler, a chrome grille, and a rearview camera. Moreover, optional heated mirrors, standard power mirrors, 17-inch aluminum wheels, 16-inch steel wheels, optional front fog lamps, standard chrome door handles, and optional xenon headlights are added on to the vehicle’s exterior.

Interior Features

Bucket seats are available for the front passenger and driver with the provision of a fairly minimalist dashboard. Control knobs and dash vents are designed with silver-colored surrounds. Moreover, the instrument panel is dominated by 2 large gauges with orange illumination. The passengers have an available flat-folding front passenger seat, by which it is possible to carry long items. Additionally, the second row is featured with a 60/40-split folding bench seat. Moreover, the cabin has standard air conditioning, standard speed-sensitive door locks, power windows, optional Bose audio system, optional leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel, optional Bluetooth phone connectivity, and optional ignition/keyless entry system.

Under the Hood

Nissan Rogue for 2010 is available with all-wheel or front-wheel drive configuration. Moreover, it has available steering-wheel paddle shifters. By using a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, the vehicle gets a power of about 170-horsepower and 175 pounds-feet of torque. This engine is mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission.
