Years

The Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover SUV that has been Nissan's best-selling vehicle in the United States since its introduction for the 2008 model year. It is currently in its third generation, which debuted for the 2021 model year, following generations produced from 2008–2013 and 2014–2020. Positioned between the smaller Kicks and the larger Murano in Nissan's SUV lineup, the Rogue is typically noted for its fuel efficiency, comfortable ride, and competitive pricing. Offered with front-wheel or all-wheel drive, it competes in the compact crossover segment against models such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.

  2008

  The 2008 Nissan Rogue debuted as a new compact crossover, powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It was offered with front-wheel or all-wheel drive and replaced the Xterra in Nissan's lineup in some markets. Common service considerations include regular CVT fluid changes, as the transmission can be sensitive to neglected maintenance. The QR25DE engine is generally reliable, though spark plug and ignition coil replacements are typical items at higher mileage.

  2009

  The 2009 Nissan Rogue continued with its 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission, while Vehicle Dynamic Control became standard on all trims and a rearview monitor was added to the SL package. The CVT requires periodic fluid service, and neglected maintenance can lead to transmission wear in higher-mileage examples. The QR25DE engine is generally durable but may develop oil consumption as it ages. All-wheel-drive models also need rear differential fluid changes at the recommended intervals.
