Used Nissan Rogue Buying Guide: 2021 to 2024
The Rogue is one of the most common used SUVs in the High Desert, and the model years from 2021 to 2024 are not all the same. The engine changed, features moved around, and the 2024 model picked up a refreshed look. Here is what Nissan’s own specifications say about each, so you know what to ask about when you shop used in Victorville, Hesperia or Apple Valley.
- 2021: a 2.5-liter engine with 181 hp, per Nissan.
- 2022 to 2024: a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo with 201 hp and 225 lb-ft.
- 2024: Google built-in on SL and Platinum, plus refreshed styling, per Nissan.
The Short Version
The biggest change across these years is under the hood. Nissan lists a 2.5-liter four-cylinder for the 2021 Rogue and a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo for 2022 and newer. Cargo space, ground clearance and the standard safety suite stay close across the group, so the choice often comes down to powertrain, technology and what is on the lot.
Year by Year
| Model year | Engine | What Nissan lists |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2.5L four-cylinder, 181 hp, 181 lb-ft | Xtronic CVT, front-wheel drive or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, towing up to 1,350 lbs when properly equipped |
| 2022 | 1.5L VC-Turbo, 201 hp, 225 lb-ft | First model year for the VC-Turbo engine, with EPA estimates of 30/37/33 mpg on S and SV with front-wheel drive |
| 2023 | 1.5L VC-Turbo, 201 hp, 225 lb-ft | Standard Idle Stop Start, a new-generation Xtronic transmission and a Midnight Edition package available on SV |
| 2024 | 1.5L VC-Turbo, 201 hp, 225 lb-ft | Updated front and rear styling, Google built-in on SL and Platinum, a three-year NissanConnect trial |
What Stays Similar
Across these years Nissan lists five passenger seating, 31.6 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row on S and SV, and 74.1 cubic feet with the second row folded. The SL and Platinum list 36.5 cubic feet with the Divide-N-Hide panel in its low position. Ground clearance is listed at 8.2 inches. The Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite is listed as standard on the 2021 through 2024 Rogue, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert and lane departure warning.
Features That Differ
Towing is listed at 1,350 lbs for 2021 and 1,500 lbs from 2022 on, when properly equipped. Technology also moves forward. The 2024 Rogue lists Google built-in with a 12.3-inch touchscreen on SL and Platinum, along with a wireless charging pad on SL. ProPILOT Assist is listed on SV and above in 2024, and availability by grade differs in earlier years, so ask us to confirm what a specific used Rogue has.
What to Ask Before You Buy
Ask which engine and drivetrain the Rogue has, which grade it is, and which options it carries. Ask for the maintenance history and whether the vehicle is eligible for a certified program. Our Xtronic CVT guide covers a common question for used Nissan shoppers, and our oil change guide explains how often each model needs service.
Where It Fits
A 2021 Rogue may suit a shopper who prefers a non-turbo engine. A 2022 or newer Rogue suits someone who wants the turbo’s added power and the higher estimated fuel economy Nissan lists. A 2024 suits a buyer who wants the latest styling and Google built-in. Inventory changes daily, so contact us for what is on the lot today.
