What's New
The 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport continues as the brand's subcompact crossover without change. A full redesign, originally scheduled for this year, will likely arrive for the 2023 model year. The current Rogue Sport debuted in 2017 and received a refresh for 2020.
Choosing Your Nissan Rogue Sport
The 2022 Rogue Sport comes in the usual Nissan trim levels: S, SV, and SL. Pricing starts at $25,685 including destination and hits $30,315 for the SL.
In terms of pricing, the Rogue Sport is positioned between the smaller Kicks and the larger Nissan Rogue.
Engine Choices
Every 2022 Rogue Sport is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) sends power to the front wheels. This setup is EPA-rated at 25 miles per gallon city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 combined.
With the optional all-wheel-drive system ($1,500), ratings ease to 24/30/27 mpg (city/highway/combined).
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Rogue Sport is a subcompact crossover with seating for five. Rear legroom is typical for this class, which means stretching out isn't an option.
Cargo space is surprisingly good for a vehicle this size. There's 23 cubic feet of load space behind the rear seat and a class-leading 61 cubic feet with it folded.
Safety Features
The 2022 Rogue Sport starts out with a nice array of driver assistance features. Every model gets lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beams, and front and rear automatic emergency braking.
The SV's Technology Package ($1,850) adds adaptive cruise control, surround-view cameras, traffic sign recognition, and a driver alertness monitor. All of these items are standard on the SL.
Connectivity
The infotainment system for the S consists of a seven-inch touchscreen, four speakers, satellite radio, and two USB ports. The SV advances to six speakers, while the SL adds navigation.
The sole audio upgrade is a 10-speaker Bose system, available on the SL only in the $2,280 premium package.

In addition to its safety features, the Technology Package adds leatherette seating, driver memory settings, and an electronic parking brake.
2022 Nissan Rogue Sport SL — MSRP From $30,315
The plush SL comes with everything offered on the SV, plus leather upholstery and 19-inch wheels. Besides the Bose system, the Premium Package equips the SL with a sunroof, a four-way power passenger seat, LED headlights, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a universal home remote.
Compare Rogue Sport Trims Side-By-Side
The 2022 Rogue Sport in SV trim offers plenty of features for the price and is clearly a better deal than lightly equipped S. With its leather seats and available Bose system, the SL stands out as one of the most luxurious vehicles in this class, which is reflected in its price.
