A diverse lineup includes the hot-selling Altima, quirky Cube, and rugged Pathfinder.
Nissan Rogue
This compact SUV gets a new Value package available on the base model and new Krom models with more aggressively styling. All Rogues come equipped with a 170-hp 4-cylinder mated to a continuously variable transmission, which some say can be underpowered and buzzy under hard acceleration. Exterior styling is sleek and the interior is surprisingly upscale, with a soft-touch dash and available heated seats. Ride and handling are very carlike, and among the best in the compact SUV segment.
