Base Nissan Rogue Sport Adds More Tech, Gets $470 Price Bump

The Nissan Rogue Sport has received a few mid-year updates in the United States, which bump its starting price to $22,110, without the $975 destination and handling charge.

Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are now offered as standard on the entry-level ‘S’ model, whereas the SL benefits from Intelligent Cruise Control. The latter is also included in the SV Technology Package.

“We’re making Automatic Emergency Braking standard across all grades of our best-selling models, including the exciting and affordable Rogue Sport“, said the brand’s North America VP for Product Planning, Michael Bunce. “It’s part of our comprehensive vision for helping reduce fatalities known as Nissan Intelligent Mobility.”

Other available features are the Remote Engine Start, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Around View Monitor, Bluetooth streaming, hands-free Phone System and hands-free Text Messaging.

Regardless of which version you opt for, the “2018.5” Nissan Rogue Sport only comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, with 141hp (143PS / 105kW), the same as before. The unit is mated to an Xtronic CVT with Eco Mode and sends power to the front wheels or the all-wheel drive system.
