In terms of interior, the Rogue blows you away; it’s one of the most elegant interiors in this class, and is very well done. The quality of materials used, the fit, and the finish are all excellent. Soft-touch materials are all-around the cabin, with a very neat-looking dashboard. The controls and knobs feel sturdy and are easy to use.
In the seating factor, the Rogue can add an optional third row of seats best suited for kids. The front row is very comfortable and does provide good headroom. Legroom might be slightly uncomfortable for taller passengers, however. The rear seats come with a 40/20/40 split and feature great adjustability. These seats provide good legroom as well.
