If you have a young driver in your family in need of a safe vehicle, consider test driving a 2015 Nissan Rogue SL. This preowned model comes well-equipped off the lot and includes a host of protective features that are sure to keep your teenager safe.
Â
The 2015 Rogue runs on a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces a steady 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an all-wheel drivetrain for enhanced capability and a continuously variable transmission, this small crossover SUV nets a suitable EPA rating of 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. On the road, you won’t have to worry about your child wielding too much power. Inperformance tests by Edmunds, the Rogue hit 60 mph in 9.0 seconds, which is average for its class.
Â
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also gave the Rogue a passing grade – specifically, a “Good†rating (the highest possible) in the small-overlap and moderate-overlap frontal-offset impact tests, as well as a “Good†score in the side-impact, roof strength and whiplash protection tests. The SL trim’s safety features are to thank for these accolades, including the blind-spot warning system, lane-departure warning system, forward collision warning system, and the Around View camera system.
