In Seattle, Washington, one thing is certain and that’s our love for the Nissan Rogue. Year after year, drivers choose this compact SUV for its fresh styling, versatility, and smooth handling.Â
Â
But, now, the all-new Rogue is being recognized for more than its good looks and easy on-road dynamics. It was recently awarded a 2018 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) – one of the industry’s most esteemed honors recognizing driver and passenger safety.
Â
During the evaluations, the 2018 Rogue earned “Good†scores across the board for its crashworthiness in the small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraint and seat tests. It also scored a “Superior†rating for front crash prevention, an “Acceptable†score for headlights, and a “Marginal†score for the ease of child seat anchors.

Â
This win not only celebrates the Rogue’s endearing qualities as it relates to passenger safety, but it also shines a light on the many advanced safety innovations on the 2018 model. This includes standard Rogue Safety Shield technologies, like the radar-based Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Both help drivers avoid a collision, which is the best way to ensure your safety on the roads.Â
Â
Certain trim levels are also equipped with other features, like standard Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Intelligent Cruise Control, and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.Â
Â
But, truly, no matter what 2018 Rogue you choose, you can do so with confidence. Your safety is in good hands when you get behind the wheel of this compact SUV.
