2014 Rogue S Includes Wide Range of Standard Equipment, from Power Windows to Keyless Entry, Plus Available Third-row Seating
Introduced in 2007, the Rogue is Nissan’s top-selling vehicle. For 2014, Nissan debuted an all-new, second-generation Rogue that added cabin space and better technology. A standout feature is the availability of a third-row seat, which bumps seating capacity up to seven. Plus, Nissan’s excellent all-wheel drive is available on all of its three trim levels: Rogue S, Rogue SV, and Rogue SL.
The 2014 Nissan Rogue S is the base model that offers five-passenger seating and comes with a wide range of standard equipment that includes everything from power windows to keyless entry and a standard Bluetooth-equipped stereo with USB support.
Standard safety features on the S trim level come courtesy of Nissan’s Advanced Airbag System with front and side airbags, and roof-mounted curtain side-impact airbags with rollover sensor for front and rear-seat occupant head protection. The Rogue S also includes:
- Halogen headlights with auto-off function
- LED daytime running lights
- Body-color outside mirrors with integrated turn signals
- 17-inch steel wheels with full-wheel covers and 225/65R17 all-season tires
Nissan’s excellent “zero gravity”-inspired cloth front bucket seats are also standard on the S trim. Soft-touch surfaces and ample storage are found throughout the 2014 Rogue lineup.
All Rogue models feature a 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve inline four-cylinder rated at 170 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of torque, paired to a Nissan Xtronic CVT with Sport Mode. Fuel economy ratings came in at 26 mpg city/33 mpg highway/28 mpg combined in FWD. And 25 mpg/32 mpg/28 mpg combined in AWD.
The Family Package with third-row seating was also available for the 2014 Nissan Rogue S.
2014 Rogue SV Trim Provides Additional Comfort and Convenience with Power Driver’s Seat and Smart-key with Push-button Start
Moving up to the SV trim offers drivers practical upgrades like attractive 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with all-season tires, a leather steering wheel, and automatic climate control.
The SV trim’s power driver’s seat provides additional comfort with power lumbar support, and the smart-key has push-button start. The dual-zone automatic temperature control keeps the cabin comfortable. And NissanConnect Apps keep you connected with remote start, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, in-car wifi, and navigation.
The available Family Package adds a third row to the SV trim, the Moonroof Package provides a nice view, and the tech-heavy SV Premium Package brings additional safety via moving object detection, blind-spot warning, and lane-departure warning.
2014 Rogue SL is the Most Luxurious Trim, with a 360-degree Bird’s Eye Camera, Heated Leather Seats, and Bose Audio System
Drivers looking for a luxury-brand level of interior quality and technology will find it in the 2014 Nissan Rogue SL. The trim includes virtually all the safety and comfort features offered in the SV trim, like dual-zone automatic temperature control, plus it adds heated front seats; leather-appointed front and second-row seats; navigation system with nine Bose speakers; and a 360-degree camera that Nissan calls Around View. Additional notable features and extras on the 2014 Nissan Rogue SL include:
- Power driver’s seat with power lumbar support
- 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with all-season tires
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
Further extras can be found in the 2014 Rogue SL Premium Package, which adds the same safety features as the SV Premium package, like blind-spot alert and lane-departure warning, but the SL Premium adds forward-collision warning.
Rogue SV Trim with Optional Premium Package is a Winning Combination
No matter which 2014 Nissan Rogue you choose, you’ll be treated to a surprisingly roomy, compact SUV that offers up to 70 cu. ft. of storage, seating for up to seven, and up to 33 mpg highway.
SV models are particularly attractive because they include upmarket options like automatic climate control and 17-inch alloy wheels for a minimal amount of extra money. For an extra bit of luxury, the Premium Package spoils drivers with conveniences that are useful every day and provides additional security via driver assistance technology.
All-wheel drive is also a must-have option. After all, with all that room on board for family and gear, you never know what type of weather you might come across on your next road trip.
