The continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) keeps the engine in its efficient range, but rubber-band-like responsiveness could leave some drivers uneasy, and hard acceleration is punctuated by a coarse drone from the engine. But the Rogue's 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine moves it quickly enough-just under nine seconds to 60 mph. If you want a choice of powertrains, a higher-performance option, or want one of the more exciting crossovers to drive, the Rogue isn't the right pick. , you get some cues from the larger Murano, for a hint of upscale, with chrome accents, and new front and rear spoilers, and new wheels added last year enhancing the look. Inside, the five-passenger Rogue gets a chunky interior design that borrows a bit from all of Nissan's cars and crossovers. Although it's based on the Sentra sedan, you wouldn't know it as the two vehicles share absolutely no sheetmetal (and no significant pieces inside or out, really).
The Rogue's sleek, rakish design still looks fresh among crossover designs, it's has a somewhat lower stance, and its proportions can appear wider and longer than it actually is from the outside. Like most modern crossovers, the Rogue is a good pick for small families, as well as commuters who need a some extra cargo capability in an only vehicle-without sacrificing too much fuel efficiency or maneuverability. The 2012 Nissan Rogue provides a little more ground clearance and a lot more cargo versatility than the typical sedan, but it's pitched toward suburban driveways and city streets, not off-road trails.
