The Nissan Rogue Sport is a subcompact crossover that fills in some important white space within the Nissan lineup. It fits in neatly between the small front-wheel-drive-only Nissan Kicks, and the bigger, more family-friendly Nissan Rogue, which is the automaker’s best selling vehicle. The Rogue Sport is noticeably inspired by the Rogue in terms of design, and it can sometimes be difficult to differentiate between the two. This vehicle is special in its class because it’s quite spacious, and can be equipped with all-wheel-drive.
Comparing the Rogue Sport to its closest competitors reveals that it is much more spacious and still quite affordable. We’ve tested and compared the Rogue Sport quite a few times over the years, and found it to be a bit bland, but quite practical. It’s low price and decent fuel economy helps make it more appealing to buyers. It also has a few important safety features and drivers assistance technology.
The Nissan Rogue Sport is in its second generation but first came to the North American market in 2017. It has been available in other markets since 2006.
The Rogue Sport is also known as the Qashqai in other markets including Canada and is assembled in Kyushu, Japan.
