Which trim should you buy?

The SV trim comes with all the features you could ask for at this price point. It comes with many useful features like a 4.3-inch display with premium audio system, rear view monitor, power adjustable driver seats, 17-inch alloy wheels etc. So the SV trim is a better value for money. The S Krom trim adds some visually attractive elements in the car and costs a little over $500 more than the SV trim.

Engine and Performance
7.4/10

The 2011 Rogue is powered by a 2.5L inline four engine producing 170 hp and 161 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to a CVT transmission and the overall response from it is not exciting and could have been better. It comes in a FWD configuration and an AWD configuration is optional. The performance is okay for daily routine travel but don’t expect it to bring a grin on your face. We believe that a better tuning of the CVT could have worked well. It does a 0-60 sprint in about 8.5 seconds and a quarter mile drag is done in 16 seconds.

It offers 26 mpg and can travel upto 432 miles in mixed driving conditions, on a full tank of gas. The RAV4 and CR-V offer the same fuel efficiency but the RAV4 gets a marginally bigger tank and offers slightly better range than the CR-V. 

Interior
7.3/10

The 2011 Rogue gets a well laid out interior. All the controls are within easy reach of the driver. The centre console has been updated to accommodate a display for the navigation system. The plastic trim used inside the cabin is of good quality. The seats are comfortable in general but due to thin padding, might not be comfortable overlong journeys. 

The front passenger seat can fold to accommodate longer goods in the cargo compartment. The NVH levels are well controlled but sometimes on bumpy roads you might hear some rattling here and there. The cargo capacity is good and its floor is deep and flat. Overall, there is nothing much to complain about in the interior department.

Exterior
7.0/10

The 2011 Rogue received an updated styling and most of the work was done on its front fascia. The Rogue looks like a hybrid of a wagon and a SUV. The front V-shaped chrome grille with Nissan logo on it and new headlamps complement its styling well. The sides are a plain affair and the roof rails grant a rugged appeal. The rear profile gets a roof mounted spoiler with integrated stop lamp and a vertical opening liftgate. The S Krom edition gets some quirky updates like a new bumper with fog lamps, chrome accents etc.

The Rogue gets a higher ground clearance of 8.3-inches and the competitors lag behind it. It is also the lightest in the competition and with a shorter wheelbase, it is easily maneuverable on the city streets. The Equinox sits on a longer wheelbase and also gets better second row legroom as well. The Rogue, RAV4 and CR-V come with similar wheelbases. 

Some of the standout exterior features of the 2011 Rogue are:

  • HID Xenon headlamps (SL package)
  • Power sliding glass moonroof (SL package)
  • Roof rails with silver accents
  • Rear privacy glass 
  • Center exit sport-tuned exhaust (S Krom Edition)
Safety
7.9/10

The 2011 Nissan Rogue is equipped with active and passive safety features to ensure the safety of the passengers. The body structure of the Rogue incorporates many crumple zones and side impact door beams to ensure safety. The NHTSA has given it an overall 4-star safety rating in various tests performed by it and the IIHS has rated it as “Good” in most test scenarios while the roof strength gets an “Acceptable” tag. Nissan offers many safety features as standard across all the trims and many standout features are

  • Hood-buckling creases
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System
  • Vehicle Security System
  • LATCH System 
  • Side impact door beams
  • Energy-absorbing steering column
Final Verdict

The 2011 Rogue is a well balanced car and not a perfect one. It comes with many features and good reliability as standard which helps consumers over many years of ownership with lower maintenance costs. It also has better interior space and ride quality but owing to a lacklustre CVT transmission, all the excitement gets dull. The list of standard safety features across all the trims is reasonably good too.

Pros - Premium sound quality, Attractive dual tone interiors, Spacious trunk storage.

Cons - Tiny screen, Windows vibrate as I accelerate.

Just the kind of speakers i needed I don't understand why the manufacturers don't add in a larger screen and especially for this era, any digital advancement would be welcomed.
