2021 Nissan Rogue S Review

If you've had your eyes on the 2021 Nissan Rogue as your next SUV, then you have an important question to answer: Which trim level will you choose? With four options to choose from, you may be wondering which one is the right match. 

Luckily, the team at St. Charles Nissan is here to show you what the baseline Rogue S has to offer. Come see if this trim is right for your St. Charles, St. Louis, O'Fallon, and Saint Peters, MO, drives!

Refined Power From the Start 

The 2021 Nissan Rogue S solidifies itself as a dynamic SUV thanks to a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine under the hood. This powertrain is a great blend of power and performance with the following specs:

• 181 horsepower 
• 181 lb-ft of torque 
• EPA-estimated 27 city/35 MPG highway¹

The Rogue S is also armed with Front-Wheel Drive for smooth sailing on paved paths. If you want a little more control over slick road conditions, then you'll want to upgrade to the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which sends power to all four wheels as needed. 

Protection at Every Turn 

There is so much excitement packed into the baseline 2021 Nissan Rogue S, and it just keeps getting better. Safety is at the forefront of this SUV, so the following technologies come standard: 

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection: Warns when you're too close to frontal obstacles and, if needed, applies the brakes to help avoid impact. 
• Lane Departure Warning: Detects unintentional lane sway and alerts you, ensuring you stay firmly on track. 
• Blind Spot Warning: Keeps an eye on your side blind zones so you know when it's safe to make a lane change. 
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Alerts you to approaching vehicles when in reverse so you can back out with confidence. 
• Rear Automatic Braking: Measures the distance between your Rogue and rear obstacles, applying the brakes if needed to avoid a collision.
