2012 Rogue SL FWD To Go!

More than expected was the 2012 Nissan Rogue SL FWD. The 2.5 liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine proved to be an efficient power-plant that generated plenty of horse-power while enabling city MPG of 23 and a Highway MPG of 28. Most average drivers should experience closer to 33 MPG.

For comfort and convenience the driver has a 6-way power drivers seat with power lumbar support. For the front passenger there is a four-way manual front passenger seat.  For rear seating there is a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat with heating and cooling ducts.

The cargo area has a storage tray under the floor. Our Rogue was equipped with a five inch color touch screen monitor. The Bose Premium Audio System with seven speakers and a rich sounding sub-woofer is top rank in our opinion.

To show of the  fantastic design on the exterior there is dual body color power remote controlled outside mirrors. A body colored rear spoiler and sporty aluminum alloy wheels.

At the Car Concerns Radio Proving Grounds the 2012 Nissan Rogue SL rolled flawlessly through the course and proofed to be nimble, agile, and aggressive with a ready-to-roll attitude.

The 2012 Nissan Rogue SL FWD continues its versatile platform that give the driver crisp handling and sporty characteristics in a five passenger compact cross-over package. Nissan has managed to provide cross-over consumers with a more efficient and economical alternative in a super competitive segment.
