2011 new Nissan Rogue

We do not envy the hordes of the product planners who work in the automotive world. America's concept of quality of service is to shift the seasons, while analysts predict an amorphous mix to market demand, while manufacturers are hardly justifies the space in the range to fill. If you need proof, look no further than Hot CUV segment. Customers have a seemingly unquenchable thirst for small, car-based high-riders, and virtually all sports carmaker least a large canopy in the offer.

Nissan jumped the train to the small crossover belately in 2007 when he was introduced as a model Rogue 2008: E and pint-sized 'ute borrowed many cues from the will more Murano is equipped with an efficient and capable one built to adapt to different flavors. But it was three years ago. To keep informed as Rogue until they are full until the next generation model arrives, the company released a slightly updated version in 2011. It can not be leader in its class, but in 2011 updated Rogue promises to defeat all the same notes that U.S. buyers now sings. We have one week with one out.
At first glance it is clear that Rogue is not breaking any boundaries. If you are looking for rule bending, best go to the Nissan showroom, it makes a great juke. Instead of trying to create controversy with his lines, just Rogue CUV taking a generic form and there is a light-Nissan flavoring. While the overall design is slightly curved and tricks upkicked C-pillar and delicately packaged lamps giving Rogue a family flair.

Instead of going feral pigs on the strip completely renovated in 2011, Nissan's designers opted for a simple little tweaks existing forms. With massage grille, fascia now wears a fine grooves in the light, that is to bring a touch position. Low, the higher the fog light openings are provided with the same details.
Nissan plans to market as Rogue adult alternative to the rash of youth-oriented CUVs currently on the market, the company stressed that the requirement for a vehicle with a new chrome strip to arrange. We're usually not big fans of pretty cool stuff on the outside of the vehicle, and this case does little to change attitudes. New upholstery just nothing for us, especially for the rest of the Rogue very bling-free except for some, such as cross-looking door handles. Fortunately, Nissan also threw a new set of stylish 17-inch, five split-spoke alloy designed for the Rogue a pulse. It's amazing what a new set of shoes will do.

Of course, if the customers in this segment are looking for a truly unique design, something tells us it will be more attractive sports car travel abroad instead of long, tall drivers. Our vision is that the customer who wanders in many Nissan Rogue looking for a few reasons: the huge amount of cargo, a high seating position and at a reasonable price. In particular, the spatial front, it delivers Rogue admirable. A total of 58 cubic meter storage capacity with rear seats folded, and Nissan says you can put down about 8.5 meters long from the back.
On the contrary, Rogue offers the same quasi-good view of the road, like most small production cruisers, and Nissan made sure to throw in the many standard comfort options. Our tester came SV trim, which means that the cabin was full of goodies, such as mirrors, reversing camera, satellite radio and six-way power adjustable seat as standard equipment. Bluetooth hands-free calls are also along for the ride, giving a decent well-rounded package of technology assessment of what Rogue costs.

Unfortunately, within the compliments end. Thanks to the dark canvas screws and many mindless black hard plastic throughout, light enters the cab, never to return. Rogue can really benefit from an infusion of bright colors, much less quality material. Even with the optional sunroof in our tester, like Rogue felt sadness at the wheel.
The good news is that the various switches and buttons heavy, solid effort seemingly in conflict with cheap materials distributed. This is especially true for the case - a smaller piece that feels good in your hand, but nothing special to watch. The bike is equipped with various switches to everything from cruise control for hands-free system to control, but their sites are easy to remember in a short time.
Every Rogue ship with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine puts 170 horsepower and 175 pounds-feet of torque. The four-pot is screwed CC complete with Overdrive function, select the purchaser, either front or four wheel drive. Our tester came with my motor frame to the front, and at high-riding, low-horsepower engine CVT sounds like a recipe for a perfect combination of brain damage, it is true that the rogue is capable of a decent machine. It's about urban transport, freight forwarding and international trips around the eye, food and a few passengers without complaints.
Nissan is using one of the best CVT units are available, and the "box feels like home a bit thin cylinder in the Rogue. By placing the motor on the right side of the speed, whatever the situation at hand, always Cab noise to a minimum and seems to have more power than the spec sheet suggests. Throw in that the EPA says it's good for 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway and Rogue starts a little more attractive.

2011 Rogue also features a fully independent suspension, allowing a more planted feel CUV taking into intergovernmental cloverleaf or slalom light masts at the local mall parking lot. Customers are more inclined to interpret as you feel heavier version of its Sentra guy, but it's nice to know that the horse is not necessarily the abandonment of a rear-meaning antics.
Perhaps the most surprising part of the Rogue is its price. Our mid-range models riding SV came pretty close to $ 23,220 Vehicle MSRP, though, if you're really on a budget, Rogue is also available in S trim for $ 20,810. It is not much money for what you get, but unfortunately for Nissan, this segment loaded with an absolute bargain buying. Vehicles like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage is an excellent choice, many of which carry a price tag of guarantees and slimmer than the supply by Nissan.

While the 2011-Rogue crossover all the basics, there is little to this compact instrument than the rest of the audience to distinguish. It was nice to stop sorting and competitive fuel stores are fun for sure but they just are not enough for a Rogue advantage over competitors. If Nissan Rogue gets a little air in and not feel like it was designed by someone with photophobia, 2011 Rogue be able to carve out a bigger niche for itself. Until then, this rider is expected to remain high as a backup singer in a rock opera CUV.
