Nissan Updates Rogue, Adds Tech and Tweaks Styling

As the calendar flips to 2024, Nissan is throwing some revisions at its bread-and-butter crossover. Appearance, in-car tech, and cabin materials are all getting a critical eye.

Most of the B&B will call these changes part of a midcycle refresh, and that’s entirely accurate. New front and rear fascias – you know, the parts that don’t require wholesale changes to expensive-to-alter hard points – crop up for 2024, as does a massaged version of the corporate ‘V-Motion’ grille. Certain trims get new wheels and subtly different badging as well. We know, heady stuff here, folks. Feel free to take a breather if necessary.

Interior changes are more meaningful in terms of livability and usability. Bringing more value to the model’s popular SL trim are a newly standard wireless device charging pad, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and an equally sized digital instrument cluster. An addition of USB-C ports helps futureproof the thing for at least a few years, while different material textures add a bit of visual interest compared to past efforts.

Snazzier trims like the SL and Platinum get Google built-in tools, permitting users to spill their beans to our machine overlords utilize maps and the like without pairing a device to the car. It’s a decent addition for anyone whose digital footprint is squarely in the Google camp; one could build a route whilst signed in to their Google account on another device or at home and then access those directions in the vehicle. But if Larry Page and Sergey Brin suddenly appear with information about your whereabouts, that’s on you.

This model represents a huge chunk of Nissan's sales volume in North America, with just over 211,000 of the things finding homes through the first nine months of 2023. That’s head and shoulders above the brand’s next-best-selling model, the Altima, which shifted around 92,000 units. In fact, very nearly one out of every three new vehicles sold at a Nissan dealer so far this year has been a Rogue.  

The revised 2024 Nissan Rogue goes on sale in American dealerships early next year.
