2026 Nissan Rogue® in Pueblo, CO

The 2026 Nissan Rogue® uses a KR15DDT 1.5-liter turbocharged inline 3-cylinder engine configured in a transverse layout. This engine features an aluminum block and aluminum cylinder head, supporting reduced weight and improved thermal efficiency. The dual overhead camshaft design operates four valves per cylinder and incorporates Continuously Variable Timing Control on both intake and exhaust valves to optimize airflow and combustion timing.

The engine produces 201 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 225 lb-ft of torque between 2,800 and 4,000 rpm. This torque range supports consistent acceleration across varied driving conditions. The bore and stroke measure 84.0 mm by 88.9 to 90.1 mm, and the engine includes a variable compression ratio ranging from 8.0:1 to 14.0:1. This variable compression system adjusts internal combustion characteristics to improve efficiency during low-load operation and increase power output during higher demand.

Fuel delivery is managed through a High Pressure Direct Injection Gas system, and induction is supported by a turbocharger. The system uses fine-tipped iridium spark plugs and graphite-coated pistons to improve durability and reduce internal friction. The maximum engine speed is 6,000 rpm. The engine also includes an idle stop and start system to reduce fuel consumption during idle conditions. Regular unleaded fuel is recommended, and emissions compliance meets LEV3-UL50 standards. Exhaust flow is handled by a dual system with pre- and main mufflers constructed from stainless steel.

The 2026 Nissan Rogue® is equipped with an Xtronic continuously variable transmission that includes a manual shift mode with paddle shifters. This transmission is designed with a wide gear ratio range, supporting both efficient cruising and responsive acceleration. The reverse gear ratio is 2.20, and forward ratios range from 2.953 to 0.361. The final drive ratio is 5.676.

Drive configurations include front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive system includes a G-sensor and Active Brake Limited Slip functionality to improve traction.

The suspension system uses an independent front strut design with coil springs and a 24.2 mm stabilizer bar. The rear suspension is an independent multi-link setup with a stabilizer bar measuring 27.5 mm for front-wheel drive models and 28 mm for all-wheel drive models. Twin-tube shock absorbers are standard across all trims, supporting ride stability and damping consistency. The Rock Creek trim includes an off-road tuned suspension system.

Steering is managed by an electric power-assisted system with vehicle-speed-sensitive assist. The steering ratio is 14.3:1, and the system requires 2.5 turns from lock to lock. The turning diameter measures 35.4 feet curb to curb, supporting maneuverability in confined spaces. The steering wheel features a D-shaped design and includes tilt and telescoping adjustment.

The braking system includes ventilated disc brakes on both the front and rear axles. Front rotors measure 11.65 inches in diameter and 1.02 inches in thickness, while rear rotors measure 11.50 inches in diameter and 0.63 inches in thickness. The system incorporates Electronic Brake-force Distribution and Brake Assist to improve stopping performance.

The Anti-lock Braking System uses a four-wheel, four-channel, four-sensor configuration. An electronic parking brake is standard. All-wheel drive models include a G-sensor for improved braking distribution under varying traction conditions.
