Kiss your gas-guzzling full-size SUV goodbye and slip into something more efficient. The 2016 Nissan Rogue S offers Seattle area drivers a sleek and compact body that promises better performance specs and fuel economy.
Â
Â
Under the hood, the Rogue S is powered by a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine, which produces 175 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft of torque. It comes mated to Nissan's Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is well-suited for everyday driving. Its ride quality is smooth and predictable too, thanks to the independent struts with coil springs in the front suspension and the independent multi-link in the rear.Â
Â
If fuel efficiency is what you crave, the Rogue S delivers by earning a city/highway EPA rating of 26/33 mpg in front-wheel drive or 25/32 mpg in all-wheel drive. But don't let these conservative figures fool you - even though this crossover is easy on gas, it's not lacking any pep. According to data from Car and Driver, the Rogue promises a 0 to 60 mph acceleration of just 8.9 seconds with a drag-limited top speed of 120 mph.Â
