2008 Nissan Rogue
Debuting next month in Detroit Auto Show, the Nissan Rogue is a new cross over vehicle with an all new design.
Roughly the same size as the Honda CR-V, the Rogue will be powered by a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine rated 170 HP and 175 lb-ft. Mated to Nissan’s familiar CVT transmission. It has fully independent suspension uses coil springs and struts up front, with an antiroll bar. In back, Nissan used a multilink setup instead of struts to maximize cargo space in the interior. Antilock disc brakes are standard along with stability control, traction control and 16-inch steel wheels.
The Rogue will not be offered with a 3rd row seat. Pricing starts at around $20k.
