The Nissan Rogue is a stunning compact crossover that combines some of the power and capabilities expected of an SUV with the look and feel of a sophisticated vehicle. At a great price point, it’s no wonder that the Rogue is so popular and that the upcoming 2023 is already getting drivers’ attention. Drivers who are looking for a great family car, road trip car, or business car should all check out the 2023 Nissan Rogue. It’s fuel efficient, making it ideal for long drives, but still beautiful and manageable enough to make it an excellent metropolitan vehicle. Its competitors, like the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V, have their work cut out for them. Next time you visit your Nissan Rogue dealer, consider taking a look inside the full trim lineup of the 2023 Nissan Rogue and giving each one a test drive. You’ll notice some subtle and some noticeable differences between each that can help you determine which is best for you. Starting with the Rogue S, you get a car with great driver-assist features and plenty of comfort. By the time you reach the Platinum, you’ll enjoy some really eye-catching design features, along with some convenient and smart surprises. Here’s a full look at the trim lineup.

The Rogue S

The Rogue S might be the base-level trim, but there’s nothing basic about it. It kicks off the lineup strongly with advanced standard driver assist features that you often have to pay up for higher trims to get in its competitors. These include the rear cross traffic alert that’s ideal for backing out of driveways. It will also mean a blind spot warning to make lane changes safer, along with lane departure warning to let you know when you’re drifting. Automatic emergency braking with forward collision warning are also on this trim, which can greatly reduce the chances of an accident. On the S, you’ll get 15-inch aluminum alloy wheels, along with LED headlights and LED daytime running lights. Inside, you’ll find a modest four-speaker system, so it might not be a good pick for audiophiles. However, you will get Apple CarPlay (not wireless) and Android Auto compatibility, along with voice recognition technology and hands-free texting capabilities. All in all, its infotainment will do the trick for those who are happy to access their smartphone apps.

The Rogue SV

The SV will have almost everything the S has, but Nissan does build on it with some fun and impressive features. This is the first car in the lineup where you’ll get ProPILOT Assist. This is a semi-autonomous driving technology that will take over braking, acceleration, and steering. Anyone who handles frequent long drives on the highway can appreciate that this feature relieves them of some driver fatigue. In addition to lane departure warnings, this trim gets intelligent lane intervention, which will alert a driver when they are drifting as well as apply the brakes to prevent them from making unintentional or unsafe lane changes. It also has an intelligent blind spot warning that will notify a driver when someone is in their blind spot to help avoid collisions. This trim will have 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, so slightly larger than those found on the S. It will have the same LED headlights with daytime running lights as the S; however, it gets the addition of LED indicator lights on the outside mirrors. These will light up to give a warning to the driver of vehicles in the blind spot, providing additional driver assistance. This trim also gets heated outside mirrors, which are great for cold weather climates. The SV is the first trim where you’ll see an available Wi-Fi hotspot pop up. So, those who need access to the Internet wherever they go can’t settle for less than the SV. There’s a jump from four to six speakers here, making it a good pick for those who need a better sound system than that found in the S. Plus, while the S has air conditioning, it doesn’t have dual climate control, which the SV does.

The Rogue Midnight Edition

The Midnight Edition of this Nissan SUV, as its name suggests, has some really stunning stylistic additions. It does have ProPILOT Assist standard, like the SV, so in addition to being a looker, it’s also good for long commutes. And it will get intelligent lane intervention and blind spot intervention, too. On this trim, you’ll see 18-inch black aluminum alloy wheels, along with an eye-catching Black V-motion grille and black outside mirrors. LED headlights with LED daytime running lights come standard here, too, as do the outside mirror LED indicator lights. You can get a Wi-Fi hotspot on this trim, and you’ll enjoy six speakers. Plus, here you get USB-A and USB-C ports for charging up devices. For a little passenger comfort, there are rear door sunshades on this trim, plus dual-zone climate control. Inside, you’ll see charcoal leatherette seats, and up on the roof, you’ll find black roof rails along with satin black roof badging. Moving to the back, you’ll see a black rear diffuser, so it really lives up to its name.

The Rogue SL

The SL has gorgeous 19-in aluminum-alloy wheels. What really stands out here is the intelligent all-around view monitor. It gathers real-time footage from several cameras around the car to show drivers what’s happening in their surroundings, including over their vehicle, for fully informed and safe driving decisions. This is very useful when backing up or getting into tricky parking situations. This trim additionally gets a dual-panel panoramic moonroof, making it the trim to pick for road trippers who venture out into gorgeous wilderness terrain and want to take in the view. Another feature that makes it good for adventurers is the drive-n-hide cargo system, which lets you conceal and store valuables out of the sight of onlookers. A surprising and luxurious touch in this trim is the leather-appointed seats.

The Rogue Platinum

Finally, at the top of the lineup, we have the Platinum. The Platinum, as its name promises, has a distinctly more luxurious feel than the others. It’s going to get comfortable and stunning quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats. This is a durable, low-maintenance leather that’s great for cars with lots of passenger activity (read: for parents of small children or fur babies). This trim also has ProPILOT Assist technology, but this version comes with Navi-Link. It also has Nissan door to door navigation, which you can pair up with your NissanConnect app to get directions until you’re at your destination. It enjoys a 12.3-inch digital dashboard with all digital clusters displaying pertinent information about your vehicle’s systems. This trim is where you finally see wireless Apple CarPlay. Drivers who don’t want cords making a mess of their front seat area might want to splurge for this trim.

It's Hard to Pick Just One Trim

It’s clear that Nissan wanted to provide something for everyone in this year’s Rogue lineup. Each trim has something great to offer a variety of drivers. The S is packed with standard features that will make drivers feel confident and give them peace of mind. As you move up, you get more advanced infotainment and driver-assist features that are great for long road trips. Each trim will get the excellent fuel economy and comfort that the Rogue is known for. Between the Platinum and Midnight Edition, you’ll see some very attractive stylistic choices inside and out. Nissan continues to deliver a compact crossover that packs plenty of impressive features into just as impressive of a price point. All that’s left to do is take a few for a test drive to see which features you can’t live without and select from the gorgeous color options this year.
