2026 Nissan Rogue Trims: S, SV, Rock Creek, Dark Armor

The Nissan Rogue is a five-seat compact crossover with a 201 hp turbo engine and a choice of front-wheel drive or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive on most grades. If you drive around Victorville, Hesperia and Apple Valley, here is what Nissan lists for each Rogue grade, from the S to the new Dark Armor, including fuel economy, cargo space and driver-assist features.

• 201 hp and 225 lb-ft from the 1.5L VC-Turbo, per Nissan.
• Up to 36 mpg highway, EPA-estimated, on FWD models.
• 74.1 cu ft of cargo volume with the second row folded.

Engine and Drivetrain

Every Rogue in Nissan’s 2026.5 press kit uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder (Nissan calls it VC-Turbo) that Nissan lists at 201 hp at 5,600 rpm and 225 lb-ft of torque from 2,800 to 4,000 rpm. It is paired with an Xtronic CVT that has paddle shifters and ECO and Sport modes. Depending on the grade, you can choose front-wheel drive or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Nissan lists five drive modes on the AWD models: Standard, Eco, Sport, Off-Road and Snow.

Fuel Economy by Drive Type

• FWD (S, SV, Dark Armor): 29 city, 36 highway, 32 combined.
• AWD (S, SV, Dark Armor, Platinum): 28 city, 35 highway, 31 combined.
• AWD Rock Creek: 27 city, 32 highway, 29 combined.

These are Nissan’s EPA estimates from the 2026.5 press kit. Your mileage will vary. Nissan’s 2027 gas Rogue estimates differ, so see our 2027 Rogue vs Rogue Hybrid guide for those.

Rogue Grades: S, SV, Rock Creek, Dark Armor and Platinum

Nissan lists five grades. Here is what the press kit says about each one.

• S: 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and an 8-inch color display. ProPILOT Assist is not listed on the S.
• SV: 18-inch wheels, an 8-inch display and standard ProPILOT Assist. A panoramic moonroof is optional.
• Rock Creek: 17-inch dark painted wheels with Falken Wild Peak all-terrain tires, Hill Descent Control, a tubular roof rack, a unique front fascia and off-road-tuned suspension. It is AWD.
• Dark Armor (new for 2026.5): 19-inch black wheels and gloss black trim, heated PrimaTex leatherette-appointed front seats, a heated steering wheel and a panoramic moonroof. For the full rundown, see our Rogue Dark Armor guide.
• Platinum: 19-inch wheels, a 12.3-inch infotainment display and a 12.3-inch digital meter display, a Bose Premium Audio System with 10 speakers, and a panoramic moonroof. Nissan lists Google built-in, though its overview calls it available, so confirm on the Rogue you are considering. A head-up display is optional.

Features can change by package, so check the specific Rogue you are looking at, and ask us which grades are on the lot.

Cabin and Cargo Space

• Seating: 5 passengers.
• Cargo volume behind the second row: 31.6 cubic feet on the S, SV, Dark Armor and Rock Creek. Nissan lists 36.5 cubic feet on the Platinum with Divide-N-Hide in its low position.
• Cargo volume with the second row folded: 74.1 cubic feet.

If you often carry more than five people, the Rogue has no third row. Look at a larger SUV, or at the 2026 Rogue Plug-In Hybrid, which seats seven. See our Rogue Plug-In Hybrid guide.

Safety and ProPILOT Assist

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is listed with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Departure Warning, among other features. ProPILOT Assist is standard on the SV and above. Driver-assist features have limits, and you must stay attentive and keep control of the vehicle. For more, read our post on how ProPILOT Assist works.

Towing and Rock Creek

Nissan lists a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when the Rogue is properly equipped, with a 150 pound tongue weight. That suits light loads, not a heavy trailer. The Rock Creek adds all-terrain tires and Hill Descent Control for dirt roads and uneven ground, but it is still a crossover. For more on engine and fuel economy by model year, see our Rogue performance specs page.

Who the Rogue Fits, and Honest Limits

• Commuters: up to 36 mpg highway on FWD models (EPA-estimated) for long drives on the 15.
• Small families: five seats and up to 74.1 cubic feet of cargo space with the second row folded.
• Weekend explorers: the Rock Creek grade adds all-terrain tires and Hill Descent Control.

At 201 hp from a three-cylinder turbo, the Rogue is aimed at daily driving more than speed. The 1,500 pound tow rating is modest, and the Rogue has no third row. If you want an electrified Rogue that never needs a plug, see our 2027 Rogue Hybrid guide.
