The upcoming 2023 Nissan Rogue Sport will be available later this year and will include more amenities than many people anticipated. This little crossover is still one of the most popular in its class because it looks so excellent. In case you missed it, the Rogue was entirely revamped in 2021. We anticipate that the new model will be identical to the previous one.
It boasts a new design, and more technology, and is one of the most spacious SUVs in its class, so it’s worth a look. The regular petrol engine is dependable, but a more efficient engine is available. In the future, Nissan could introduce a hybrid powertrain.
Nissan Rogue Sport Gets Mild Exterior Facelift
The boxier shape of the new 2023 Nissan Rogue Sport will remain. This crossover SUV is also quite appealing, borrowing lots of stuff from the Nissan Pathfinder model. It looks eye-catching and competitive. At first impression, it appears rougher but more complex. Nissan distinguishes itself with its V-Motion grille and “floating” roof design. The carmaker believes that as a result, the new Rogue provides somewhat better aerodynamics than the outgoing model.
The grille comes with larger openings, for better engine cooling. The manufacturer will also provide new underbody covers and front air curtains. Still, the overall appearance will not change at all. Rogue already sports relatively new LED running lights, taillights, and bumpers. New exterior colors could be the biggest novelty in 2023MY.
Interior Changes and Upgrades
Inside the cabin, the new 2023 Nissan Rogue Sport will also be upgraded. The Rogue Sport will have the same dashboard as the Qashqai model in Europe, which will be more attractive and refined. This crossover will also get a new flat-bottom steering wheel and a tablet-like infotainment touchscreen.
Standard features will include a 9-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. This model replaces the regular 7-inch device from the previous generation. The infotainment system has been improved, and we expect additional luxurious materials to be included. Generally, Rogue Sport in the U.S. and European Qashqai model will not largely depart from each other.
MPG, Transmission
The next 2023 Nissan Rogue Sport should obtain a hybrid powertrain. This is the most recent rumor, so nothing is official yet. As this is a model for the US markets, it comes with a gasoline engine. A four-cylinder unit provides solid performance and more than average fuel efficiency. Still, 142 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque are not enough for some customers.
Hopefully, a new and optional hybrid engine will reach the markets in the United States. On the other hand, a gasoline engine gets around 28 miles per gallon combined. As before, Nissan offers the same CVT automatic transmission.
2023 Nissan Rogue Sport Price, Release Date
The price of the new 2023 Nissan Rogue Sport will start at about $25,000. Thanks to the numerous trim levels, this crossover offers a lot of customization. Moreover, the most premium trim level will cost around $35,000. The sales will begin later this year, most likely in October.
