If it’s time to replace your econo-car with something more practical, but you still want to be mindful of your fuel efficiency, consider test driving a 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport SL. This preowned compact crossover is ideal for active urbanites with its 53.3 cubic feet of max cargo room, but its smaller footprint and engine make it wildly efficient too.
Â
Under the hood, the 2017 Rogue Sport is anchored by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which is rated at 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with a continuously variable automatic transmission and a front-wheel drivetrain, fuel economy rings in at 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. From end to end, the crossover measures 172.4 inches, which is smaller than its bigger sibling, the Nissan Rogue. As a result, the Sport variant is easier to maneuver through crowded streets with a tight 36.9-foot turning radius.
Â
On the exterior, the SL trim rides on 19-inch wheels that are complemented by foglights and automatic high beams for enhanced visibility. On cold winter mornings, remote start pre-heats the cabin for a more comfortable experience, plus the leather upholstered heated front seats add a touch of elegance. This trim level is also complete with a 7-inch touchscreen, which houses the vehicle’s infotainment system and rearview camera display. Bluetooth connectivity is standard as well.
