“The use of CMF (Nissan-Renault Common Module Family) is not designed to limit customer options by making a one-vehicle-fits-all. Rather, the added efficiencies provided by the joint development allow us to deliver unprecedented value in this segment along with plenty of room for region-specific customization of design, drivetrains, technology, and equipment levels,” Carla Bailo, Senior Vice President of R&D for Nissan Americas, said during the 2014 Rogue’s unveiling at the Nissan Technical Center North America.

The aerodynamic improvements as well as a new Xtronic CVT (with an improved belt and pulley system, new electronic control, wider gear ratio, and lower friction components) helped the 2014 Rogue achieve an 18% fuel-economy improvement vs. the 2013 model. With the carryover 2.5-L, 16-valve, four-cylinder engine rated at 170 hp (127 kW) and 175 lb·ft (237 N·m), the front-wheel-drive Rogue is projected to be best-in-class with estimated 33 mpg highway and 26 mpg city ratings.

Rogue’s new interior provides 70.0 ft3 (1982 L) of cargo room vs. the previous model’s 57.9 ft3 (1640 L) with the second-row seat folded flat. The reclining second-row seat also can be moved forward and rearward 9 in (229 mm). Both the reclining and fore/aft travel are new features for the second-row seat.
