After coming out as a fully redesigned vehicle in 2021, we expect the 2023 Nissan Rogue to be a carryover model. The Rogue is still one of the newer options in the segment, so we don’t expect Nissan to make any major changes. With a large cargo area, comfortable seats, and a long list of standard features, the Rogue continues to be able to hang with the best.
The full redesign in 2021 resulted in a compact SUV with a fresh, modern design. As a carryover model, the 2023 Rogue should retain the same overall design. Nissan’s V-Motion grille is prominently displayed at the front, leading into daytime running lights that are located at the top of the front fascia. The SUV’s headlights are further down, in the middle of the front end. The result is a striking design. The rear end of the Rogue is more elegant with wraparound taillights and a deep cutout in the liftgate. An available black roof is another upscale touch.
On the inside, the current Rogue shares a familial look with Nissan’s sedans. The compact SUV features a simplistic design with well-labeled buttons and dials. The bi-level dashboard has a section that juts out toward the passenger and seamlessly blends into the center console. The center console has a large storage compartment underneath the shift knob, while the center console’s butterfly-style lid makes access easy for both the driver and passenger. The Rogue’s chunky steering wheel and shift knob fit give the cabin some modern flair. As a carryover model, the 2023 Rogue’s interior design should have the same overall look as the current model that’s on sale.
The 2023 Rogue should come with the same tech features as the current SUV. An eight-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite radio, two USB ports, four audio speakers, and Bluetooth should be standard. The Rogue’s list of optional features should include a nine-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone compatibility, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, navigation, a wireless charging pad, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and two rear USB ports.
For 2022, Nissan came out with a new turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine for the Rogue. The engine is rated at 201 horsepower and is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional. We expect this powertrain to continue to be offered on the 2023 Rogue.
Nissan offers the current Rogue with a lengthy list of standard safety features. Pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, forward and reverse automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, a driver attention monitor, rear parking sensors, and automatic high-beam assist are all standard. Available safety features include a surround-view camera, front parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, a head-up display, and Nissan’s ProPilot Assist system. The 2023 Rogue is expected to come with the same safety features as the current model.
