The Nissan Rogue’s six trim levels all have the same powertrain. This is a three-cylinder, turbocharged 1.5-liter engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. The pairing gives you 201 horsepower. Most trims are available with front-wheel drive, with optional all-wheel drive. However, all-wheel drive is standard for the Rock Creek and Platinum trim levels.
Appearance
The 2026 Kicks stands out on the road with its proud, modern design. This small model has an upright stance with subtle arches through the hood and roof. The sides boast flared fenders, a premium rocker ledge, and minor contouring. At the front end, the Kicks is designed with a long, rectangular grille featuring horizontal crossbars. These bars fade into similarly designed LED headlights.
The 2026 Nissan Rogue has a larger profile with sleek sides and defined back haunches. The hood cascades down to a V-motion grille with layered design elements.
