Dear Robert,
I’m thinking of changing my current car: we've just added a new member to our family and want something more spacious. Naturally, I need a vehicle which would protect us in the event of an accident. How safe is the 2018 Nissan Rogue?
Thanks,
Charlotte
Hi, Charlotte!
Congratulations on the latest addition to your family. According to tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the 2018 Rogue is safer than almost any other vehicle Nissan produce.
The IIHS labeled the 2018 Rogue as one of their top safety picks. This vehicle scored the highest marks in tests relating to its head restraints and seats, roof strength, and driver-side crashworthiness.
This model has the Nissan Intelligent Safety Shield system which monitors your proximity to the vehicle in front of you. This feature will send audible and visual warnings to the driver if it senses that there may be a collision.
The 2018 Rogue also has an Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system as standard. If this feature detects that a collision is imminent, it will apply the brakes to avoid or mitigate an accident with another vehicle or a pedestrian.
Thanks for your question, Charlotte! Why not call into Kirkland Nissan, Washington and test drive the 2018 Rogue for yourself?
