ON THE COVER
The Pathfinder 2014 HEV
For the 2014 model year, the new Rogue (T32) challenges convention with bold styling and an upscale interior created for comfort and multi-tasking that includes an array of technologies.
The new Rogue offers optional 3-row/7-passenger seating, available thanks to its improved interior packaging efficiency. Among the many interior highlights is the exceptional passenger and cargo flexibility provided by the innovative EZ Flex™ seating system. For the 2-row models, the Rogue also offers an innovative Divide ‘n Hide® Cargo System that provides 18 adjustable variations between the cargo and occupant areas and includes out-ofsight storage and a lower deck to handle taller items.
Every 2014 Nissan Rogue is equipped with a responsive 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that is rated at 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. The engine is matched with an advanced next-generation Xtronic CVT® with standard Sport Mode switch. The Rogue is available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive and comes standard with a 4-wheel independent suspension. Electric Power-assisted Steering (EPS) and Hill Start Assist are standard, and Advanced Hill Descent Control is available on the all-wheel drive models.
Standard Rogue connected technology includes a 5.0-inch center meter color display (Advanced Driver Assist™ Display) and a USB connection port for iPod® interface and other compatible devices. It also comes with a Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, streaming audio via Bluetooth® and Hands-free Text Messaging Assistant.
Available technology features include the advanced NissanConnect™ for the Navigation system with a 7.0-inch color touch-screen display, Nissan Voice Recognition for navigation and audio, NavTraffic and NavWeather, SiriusXM Travel Link® (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately) and NissanConnect™ Apps.
