Nissan bolsters its crossover lineup this year with the Rogue Sport, a five-passenger compact positioned just below the current Rogue. Buyers in search of sporty looks and friendly pricing can find both in the new Sport.
CarsDirect Pricing Insider
What you must know before buying the Nissan Rogue Sport- 2018 Rogue Sport is arriving; 2017 model still available
- Cashback: Up to $2,750 in factory discounts
- Finance: From 0% APR for 60 months + $500 bonus
- Lease: From $159 per month for 36 months
Model year change:
The 2018 Rogue Sport is starting to hit dealers, but last year's model is still available and has considerably better discounts. That said, shoppers should be aware of a possible change in equipment.
Last year, Nissan announced automatic emergency braking would become a no-cost feature for 2018. However, that has in fact not been the case, and you can only get it in the range-topping SL Premium.
We've confirmed that Nissan will soon introduce a mid-year change in what will be called the 2018.5 Rogue Sport. Once it goes on sale, it'll offer automatic emergency braking plus a blind spot monitor with cross-traffic alert.
Nissan promotions are regional and expire April 30, 2018. Examples listed below are for Southern California.
Heads up: The 2019 Rogue Sport will likely go on sale in December and is expected to be a carryover.
Cash discounts:
The 2017 Rogue Sport is eligible for a $1,500 rebate plus a $500 bonus when financing at non-promotional rates. Nissan is also offering $500 in bonus cash on all 2017 models, plus an extra $250 on SL trims. Altogether, that's up to $2,750 off MSRP, an impressive amount for a vehicle in this class.
If you prefer the 2018 Rogue Sport, there’s a $1,000 rebate available this month and/or a $500 finance bonus. The two can be combined for a total of $1,500 off if you finance at non-promotional rates, but if you choose to take advantage of the special finance rates listed below, then you must forego the rebate.
Financing:
All versions of the 2017 Rogue Sport are eligible for 0% APR financing for 60 months or 1.9% financing for 72 months. Plus, there’s a $500 financing bonus available, and the bonus cash incentives listed above are compatible with these rates. The $1,500 rebate, unfortunately, is not. You’ll have to finance at the standard APR in order to receive both that and the finance bonus along with the bonus cash.
The 2018 Rogue Sport gets 0% financing as well, but the term is limited to 36 months. The 60-month rate is 1.9%, while the 72-month rate is 2.9%. A $500 financing bonus is available, as well.
Have less than perfect credit? Your dealer may still be able to help you, so be sure to ask. Some even specialize in assisting buyers with bad credit.
Lease specials:
The 2017 Rogue Sport S with all-wheel drive is currently available from $159 per month for 36 months with $4,499 due at signing. That includes an allowance of 12,000 miles per year.
With an effective monthly cost of $284, we consider this a fairly attractive value given the vehicle's MSRP.
There are no advertised lease specials yet on the 2018 Rogue Sport.

2017 Nissan Rogue Sport Overview
What's New for 2017
The Rogue Sport is an all-new model.
Choosing Your Nissan Rogue Sport
The Sport features a lower profile and trimmer body than the standard Rogue. The tradeoff is no optional third row and about 10 fewer cubic feet of cargo space. Even so, the Rogue Sport holds a healthy amount for its size, up to 61.1 cubic feet with the rear seat folded.
Every Sport comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is available across the board for a reasonable $1,350. All models use a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
The Rogue Sport is offered in the same three trim levels as other Nissans:
S
Priced at $22,380 with destination, the S carries basic equipment like a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone and audio, and a four-speaker sound system with a five-inch display and satellite radio. The only option for the S (besides all-wheel drive) is 17-inch aluminum wheels ($570) in place of the standard 16-inch steel wheels.
SV
Starting at $23,980, the SV comes standard with the 17-inch aluminum wheels, plus roof rails, keyless ignition, a power driver seat, automatic headlights, two additional speakers, automatic dual-zone climate control, and a cargo management system. The optional All Weather Package ($920) tacks on remote start, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors, fog lights, and leather trim for the shift knob and steering wheel. With those features in place, buyers can step up to the $1,500 Premium Package and get navigation, surround-view cameras with moving object detection, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
SL
Topping the line at $27,030, the SL gets most of the SV's options as standard, plus leather seats, a hands-free power liftgate, a universal garage door opener, and 19-inch wheels. The SL offers a Premium Package of its own ($2,280) with a sunroof, LED headlights with automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot monitoring. Finally, the $570 Platinum Package adds adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, and lane keeping assist.
CarsDirect Tip
The SL provides access to some pretty sophisticated technology that isn't usually available in this class, not to mention plenty of interior comforts. It's our pick for best value, despite its higher price.
