Rogue is Nissan’s first entry into the small crossover SUV segment. It is available in two well-equipped, high-value models, Rogue S and Rogue SL.

The starting MSRP for the well-equipped 2008 Rogue S is $19,250 for the 2WD model and $20,450 for Rogue S AWD. Pricing for Rogue SL is $20,670 for 2WD and $21,870 for AWD.

All 2008 Rogue models come equipped with a standard 170-horsepower (167 hp CAL emissions) 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, advanced Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and a long list of standard safety equipment, including six air bags. An available all-new Intuitive All-Wheel Drive system with yaw moment control is also offered on both S and SL models.

The next time you see a Yukon filling your mirrors, don’t be so quick to dismiss the full-size sport-ute as “just another one of those gas-guzzlers.” It might actually be sipping less than your ride, especially around town.

A sistership to the extended-length Yukon XL and luxury laden Denali, this full-size GMC sport-ute is striving to become a more responsible citizen since it can now be ordered with a gasoline/electric hybrid power team.
