2027 Nissan Rogue Dark Armor: Features and Specs

The Nissan Rogue Dark Armor pairs gloss black exterior details with a long list of standard comfort and driver-assist features. If you have been searching for it in Victorville, this guide walks through what Nissan lists for the 2027 model year, where it fits, and where another Rogue might suit you better.

• 201 hp and 225 lb-ft from a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, per Nissan
• Up to 30 mpg combined (front-wheel drive) and 29 mpg combined (all-wheel drive), per Nissan’s estimates
• Panoramic moonroof, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and ProPILOT Assist are standard on the Dark Armor grade

What Is the Rogue Dark Armor?

Dark Armor is a Rogue grade, not a separate model. Nissan introduced it with the 2026.5 Rogue, and it is listed again in Nissan’s 2027 Rogue press kit. It sits on the same compact crossover as every other Rogue, with the same engine, the same body, and the same cargo space. What changes is the styling and the equipment that comes with it.

Design: Gloss Black Details and 19-Inch Wheels

Nissan lists a gloss black grille and gloss black outside mirrors on the Dark Armor, along with 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels in a unique dark painted and machine-finished Dark Armor design. A power panoramic moonroof and roof rails are standard, and the body-color door handles and LED headlights round out the look.

The Dark Armor is 184.4 inches long, 72.4 inches wide, and 67.9 inches tall on a 106.5-inch wheelbase, the same dimensions Nissan lists for the Rogue lineup in its 2027 press kit.

Power and Fuel Economy

Every gas-powered 2027 Rogue uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine rated at 201 hp at 5,600 rpm and 225 lb-ft of torque between 2,800 and 4,000 rpm. It runs on regular unleaded and is paired with an Xtronic CVT that includes a manual shift mode with paddle shifters, plus Eco and Sport modes. The Dark Armor is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

Nissan’s estimated fuel economy for the Dark Armor is 28 mpg city, 33 highway, and 30 combined with front-wheel drive, and 27 city, 32 highway, and 29 combined with all-wheel drive. Actual mileage may vary. If fuel economy is your top priority, compare it with the Rogue Hybrid in our 2027 Rogue vs Rogue Hybrid guide. You can also read more about the engine in our Rogue performance overview.

Comfort and Technology

Nissan lists these comfort features as standard on the 2027 Dark Armor:

• Leatherette seating with an 8-way power driver’s seat and power lumbar support
• Quick Comfort heated front seats and a heated steering wheel
• Dual-zone automatic temperature control
• Nissan Intelligent Key with push button start, and remote engine start with Intelligent Climate Control
• Power liftgate

For tech, the Dark Armor has an 8-inch color display with NissanConnect, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a six-speaker audio system. NissanConnect Services, including a Wi-Fi hotspot, are also listed as standard, and SiriusXM subscriptions are sold separately. Our Rogue technology overview goes deeper on the infotainment system.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The Dark Armor carries Nissan’s standard safety list for the 2027 Rogue, including Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Intelligent Forward Collision Warning. On this grade, Nissan also lists Intelligent Cruise Control with full speed range and hold, ProPILOT Assist, Rear Automatic Braking, and an HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection.

Space, Cargo, and Towing

Nissan lists 31.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the second-row seat upright and 74.1 cubic feet with it folded down. The fuel tank holds 14.5 gallons, and ground clearance is 8.2 inches. When properly equipped, Nissan lists a 1,500 pound trailer rating with 150 pounds of tongue weight. Check the Owner’s Manual for details before towing.

Where It Fits and Where Another Rogue Might

The Dark Armor suits drivers who want the black styling and a well-equipped Rogue for daily driving around Victorville and the High Desert, whether that is the commute on the 15 or a weekend trip toward Big Bear. Because the moonroof, heated seats, heated steering wheel, and driver-assist features come standard, there is less to choose from the options list.

It is not the right Rogue for everyone. The 8-inch display with wired phone connection is simpler than the larger screen Nissan lists on the Platinum grade. For trail use, Nissan lists Hill Descent Control and all-terrain tires on the Rock Creek grade only. And if you tow more than 1,500 pounds, you will want a different vehicle.
