According to Torque News, Millennials now make up the fastest-growing segment among vehicle buyers with an anticipated 40 percent stake in the U.S. new vehicle market come 2020. This generation of shoppers are tech-savvy and open-minded, willing to try new experiences and think differently about the future.Â
Â
Nissan has figured out how to tap into this effervescent generation by engineering a compact SUV designed with the needs of Millennials in mind. The 2018 Rogue Sport is not only techno-rich, but it boasts a slightly smaller body and sportier dynamics that appeal to younger, urban drivers.
Â
The Rogue Sport gets its fun-to-drive performance credentials from the 141-horsepower 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine under the hood. It comes mated to an Xtronic transmission with eco mode and a four-wheel independent suspension. Fuel economy rings in at 28 mpg combined, when equipped with front-wheel drive.
Â
Standard across all trim levels is Auto Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which were recently added to all 2018.5 models. With this trifecta of high-tech safety features designed to reduce traffic fatalities, drivers are better equipped to handle all types of traffic conditions, whether tackling stop-and-go congestion or tight city parking garages.Â
Â
The 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport is currently available for test drives at our dealership in Seattle, Washington. To see if this small SUV is well-suited for you, contact Kirkland Nissan to schedule your appointment today.Â
