Whether Prepster or Sporto, Nissan Has a Rogue for You

The 1985 now-classic movie The Breakfast Club etched into pop culture history the clearly-delineated lines of high-school student identity factors. Similarly, automobile shopping offers a customizable array of designs and features for a variety of personality characteristics; and whether you consider yourself a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, [or even] a criminal, Nissan has a Rogue for you.

The 2018 Rogue and Rogue Sport share the same name, platform, safety features, technology, performance capabilities, and easy-on-the-wallet affordable price tag, but the two models are distinctly unique in their own rights. The stylish Rogue Sport slots just under popular Rogue, Nissan's #1 best-selling vehicle in the United States; and though the Rogue is premium and spacious, the right-sized Rogue Sport (which joined the lineup near the end of the 2017 model year) offers a bit more versatility.

The compact crossover Nissan Rogue provides seating for up to five passengers as does the smaller subcompact crossover Rogue Sport. However, the Rogue's extra cabin space which can accommodate more cargo is countered by the sleeker Rogue Sport's sporty look and nimble driving dynamics. While Rogue fits the needs of owners with young families, Rogue Sport tends to appeal to a younger, urban consumer base.

For the current model year, the Nissan Rogue lineup is comprised of four trim levels (S, SV, Hybrid, and Midnight Edition), and the Rogue Sport is available for drivers in three trim levels (S, SV, and SL). The Rogue Sport has also been given a few mid-year refinements and additional changes which include a front grille redesign; the addition of standard automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic alert for all grades; intelligent cruise control added as standard on SL grade and as an option on the SV technology package; and more.

To weigh the attributes of the 2018 Rogue and Rogue Sport for yourself, see the key differences below and stop by a Nissan dealer for a personalized test drive.

After all, you wouldn't want to be a neo-maxi-zoom-dweebie would you?
