There are many reasons why the 2017 Rogue is Nissan's best-selling vehicle, but we like to think that it's because of its comfort. This SUV is not only versatile and spacious inside, but it's designed with your contentment in mind, no matter if you are the driver or passenger.Â
Â
First off, let's talk about the Rogue SV's dynamics, which Nissan has tuned to favor ride quality over sporty handling. Under the hood is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that pushes 170 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of torque. It comes matched with Nissan's Xtronic continuously variable transmission, providing smooth shifting, even under normal-to-moderately hard accelerations.Â
Â
And once you reach cruising speeds, the 2017 Rogue SV breezes along with a nicely cushioned ride, while the suspension limits body roll through fast corners. Its steering is also light and responsive with great feel and feedback, providing a competent and composed on-road experience, even when loaded down with passengers and belongings.
Â
Inside, the SV comes well-equipped with a comfortable interior that features illuminated instrumentation, quality materials and soft-touch surfaces. Its NASA-inspired "Zero Gravity" front seats are supportive and relaxing, while legroom and headroom also abound in the first and second rows. Cargo room is generous too with rear seats that fold nearly flat, accommodating all types of gear.
