Structural Upgrades
The 2021 Nissan Rogue features a completely redesigned exterior and some structural upgrades to its body as well. Its redesigned exterior features a chunkier body with a more vertical fascia, which helps give this compact crossover SUV a bolder appearance on the road.
For the 2021 model year, Nissan’s Rogue is almost 100 pounds lighter than it was for 2020. Its lighter-weight frame improves the performance of its engine, so it feels more agile and is faster to respond on the road. Its lightweight frame also improves its fuel efficiency. The fuel efficiency of the Rogue for the 2021 model year improved from a combined gas mileage of 29 MPG with FWD and 27 MPG with AWD to 30 MPG with FWD and 29 MPG with AWD.
Structural changes for safety are also present in the 2021 Rogue model. This compact crossover SUV features rear seat belt pre-tensioners, load limiters, and 10 or 11 airbags—depending on the trim level. It is also designed with a smarter crashing unibody that features front frame rails that curve outward and align with the rear frame rails. This design helps significantly improve the 2021 Rogue’s performance in side-impact crash tests.
Interior Designed for All
The 2021 Nissan Rogue’s redesigned Family Hub interior isn’t just for families. It is designed to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable ride for drivers and passengers alike with ultra-comfortable Zero Gravity seats in both front and back and added head- and legroom in the backseat.
