Nissan Rogue is solid, but no renegade - The Providence Journal

The Rogue also is Nissan's lowest-priced SUV. Starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $23,675 for a base, front-wheel drive, 2015 Rogue S with 170-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission (CVT). The lowest starting retail price for a 2015 Rogue with all-wheel drive is $25,025. The Rogue's starting retail price isn't the lowest in the segment, however. The 2015 Kia Sportage starts at $22,795 with front-wheel drive, 182-hp, four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic. Other competitors include the top seller in the compact SUV segment — the Honda CR-V — which has a starting retail price of $24,325 for a base, front-wheel drive, 2015 model with 185-hp four cylinders and CVT. The second-best-selling compact SUV in the United States — the Ford Escape — has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $23,855 with front-wheel drive, 168-hp, naturally aspirated four cylinder and six-speed automatic. The Escape also is offered with turbocharged four-cylinder engines that offer up to 270 hp. But the Rogue interior looks and feels more substantial than some competitors.
