2009 Nissan Rogue

Oh, what a Rogue...

Change. This seemingly novel concept has been hammered into our noggins for months, but in terms of SUVs, “change” is nothing new. Large models continue to serve a need, though the ranks are being fleshed out by efficient alternatives like the 2009 Nissan Rogue. This useful little rig won’t tow your Chris-Craft, yet it does achieve 22 mpg in the city and up to 27 mpg on the highway, and is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and 5 years/60,000 miles of powertrain coverage. Prices start at $21,000 for the S; our well-equipped SL rang up at $27,120.
