2008 Nissan Rogue
Nissan enters a compact crossover SUV into the market this year with the 2008 Rogue. The distinctive design of the Rogue also sets it apart from the other compact crossovers out there.
The advanced Intuitive All-Wheel Drive system actually recognizes the variation between cruising, cornering or any other car maneuver, and automatically sends the apt amount of power to the wheels for the situation; starting from acceleration, IAWD gives you traction right from the start! The 170-hp, 2.5-liter I-4 engine comes with a 2-speed Controlled Valve Timing transmission with overdrive. This hefty combination nets this agile SUV a whooping 27 mpg! That is unheard of for this class.
The interior of the 2008 Rogue is rather pleasing as well. The trunk comes with a rear divider and partition nets, which all allow you to organize and separate the objects you are transporting. The 60/40-split rear seats fold down to allow more cargo space from the trunk. The front passenger seat also folds down, ultimately increasing the versatility of cargo your Rogue can fit. The dashboard will please the minimalist in all of us, and comes in a sporty design. It features various gauges and helps you keep your vehicle diagnostics in check. You can’t forget the available Bluetooth, Intelligent Keyless Entry and Ignition System, Bose Audio System and more to keep the interior a hopping place to be!
Of course, Nissan also made the 2008 Rogue fun, but safe as well. The Rogue comes standard with over 50 safety features and can ease the mind of the biggest worrywart. The Nissan Air Bag Systems front air bags, front seat Active Head Restraints and available curtain side-impact supplemental air bags keep the interior cushioned from harm. The 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System and the Traction Control System don’t hurt the safety rating on this road warrior either.
With a name like Rogue, you should expect nothing less than an agile wonder like this.
