Nissan updated the Rogue partway through the 2026 model year, and the updated lineup is the one on sale now. That
update is what brought in the Dark Armor grade. At launch the range ran from $29,490 for a front-drive S to $39,390
for a Platinum, before the $1,545 destination charge. Fuel economy is rated 32 mpg combined on a front-drive Rogue, 31
on one with all-wheel drive (AWD), and 29 with the Rock Creek's all-terrain setup.

The 2 figures in the MSRP row are the manufacturer's suggested retail prices set for the 2026 model year at launch,
before the $1,545 destination charge. They are the figures the grades were introduced at, and they are the right way
to see how the grades sit against each other. What an individual car costs is on that car's own listing.
Grades and Prices
Line the 5 grades up with all-wheel drive, which every grade offers, and they spanned $8,500 at launch, from $30,890 for

All-wheel-drive prices for the 2026 model year at launch, before the $1,545 destination charge.
Destination is charged on top of every figure above. At launch that put the least expensive Rogue at $31,035 delivered
and the most expensive at $40,935 before a single option was added. What a particular car costs is listed against it
in our
new Nissan SUV inventory in Indianapolis.
What Each Grade Brings
Grade changes on the Rogue are about wheels, cabin materials and driver-assistance equipment. The engine and the
transmission are the same on all 5.
Grade
What This Grade Brings
S
The starting point: the 201-hp VC-Turbo engine, Nissan Safety Shield 360, and a choice of front- or all-wheel
drive
SV
ProPILOT Assist, Intelligent Lane Intervention and Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention, all standard
Dark Armor
Black 19-inch wheels; gloss-black grille, mirrors, pillars and roof rails; heated front seats in PrimaTex
leatherette-appointed trim; a heated steering wheel; a panoramic moonroof; the HD Intelligent Around View
Monitor with Moving Object Detection
Rock Creek
All-terrain tires on 17-inch dark-painted alloy wheels; off-road-tuned suspension; Hill Descent Control; a
tubular roof rack rated at 220 lb; a unique front fascia; Rock Creek leatherette and ballistic-nylon seats with
contrast stitching; a 12.3-inch NissanConnect HD display with a 6-speaker audio system
Platinum
Gloss-black exterior trim; 19-inch wheels; interior LED ambient lighting; the Divide-N-Hide cargo floor; front,
rear and side sonar; the HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor; Traffic Sign Recognition
Seat material changes with the grade. Dark Armor uses heated front seats in PrimaTex leatherette-appointed trim, the
Rock Creek pairs leatherette with ballistic nylon and contrast stitching, and the Platinum can be ordered with
chestnut-brown semi-aniline leather-appointed upholstery.
The Platinum is the only grade with the Divide-N-Hide cargo floor. Set in its low position, it opens the space behind
the rear seats out to 36.5 cubic feet instead of the 31.6 every other Rogue carries.
Engine, Transmission and Fuel Economy
Every 2026 Rogue uses one engine: a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo 3-cylinder rated at 201 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque, on regular
fuel. There is no engine upgrade to weigh anywhere in the range. The mechanical decisions are front-wheel drive against
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive; on the Rock Creek there is also an off-road-tuned suspension and a set of all-terrain tires
that no other grade carries.

The lightest and heaviest all-wheel-drive Rogues sit 130 pounds apart. The Rock Creek is not the heaviest of the 5,
either: the Dark Armor and the Platinum both come in above it, because equipment weighs more than all-terrain tires
do.
Every Rogue is rated to tow 1,500 pounds. That 1,500 covers the trailer and everything in it, not the empty trailer,
so weigh what you actually plan to pull rather than working from a dry weight. A separate limit, 150 pounds, is the
most that may press down on the hitch itself. Bring the loaded weight of your trailer in and we will check it against
the build sheet on the Rogue you are considering.
All-Wheel Drive and Central Indiana Winters
One recent winter dropped under 6 inches of snow on the area. Another brought more than 30. Nobody shopping for a Rogue
knows which of those winters is coming.
That unpredictability is the argument for the Rogue's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, and specifically for the 2 extra
settings on its drive-mode selector. Off-Road and Snow are the modes a front-drive Rogue does not carry. Intelligent
All-Wheel Drive added $1,400 at launch on each of the 3 grades that also come in front-wheel drive. The wheel choice
matters here too: the Rock Creek runs 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, while Dark Armor and Platinum run 19-inch
wheels. On a 17-inch rim there is more tire sidewall between the wheel and the road than there is on a 19, which
matters more on broken pavement than on a smooth one.
To drive one for yourself, come see us. We are on Shadeland Avenue on the east side, just off I-70, and of the Nissan
dealerships in the area, ours is the closest one to Cumberland, New Palestine, McCordsville, Mt. Comfort, Fortville,
Shelbyville and New Castle.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every 2026 Rogue, from the S upward, and the Rogue holds a 5-star overall rating
from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The systems fitted as standard right across the range, on the cheapest Rogue and the most expensive one alike, are
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic
Alert, Rear Automatic Braking and Intelligent Driver Alertness. What changes with the grade is the equipment fitted on
top of that.

SV is the most consequential price on the sheet.
Rock Creek and Dark Armor
With all-wheel drive on both, these 2 grades sat $350 apart at launch, and they pull in opposite directions. The table

Rock Creek Premium Package
None
Prices for the 2026 model year at launch, before the $1,545 destination charge. The Rock Creek Premium Package listed
at $800.
Rock Creek is the outdoor version. It is also the only grade that gives up fuel economy beyond what all-wheel drive
already costs, which is what all-terrain rubber and off-road suspension tuning ask for.
Dark Armor came in with the mid-year update and goes the other way. It carries the same 28, 35 and 31 mpg ratings as
every all-wheel-drive Rogue except the Rock Creek, so the blacked-out look costs nothing at the pump.
If your winter involves a gravel drive or an unpaved lane, take the Rock Creek. If it involves a parking garage and a
warm cabin on a January morning, take the Dark Armor.

Nissan lists a second Platinum package as well. The Platinum Tech Package is what brings ProPILOT Assist 2.1,
rain-sensing wipers and the 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor, and it is a different package from the $990
Platinum Premium Package. Which packages an individual car carries, and what each one added to its price, is printed
on that car's window sticker, and we will read it off with you.
Because each package belongs to one grade, what it does to the price lands on a single line.

Paint is priced separately from equipment. Premium Paint listed at $450 at launch on any grade, and Premium Paint with
the two-tone finish listed at $1,000 on the Platinum. Whether the color you want carries one of those charges is
printed on the individual car's window sticker.
Choosing Between the Grades
Most Rogue decisions come down to 3 questions: how much driver-assistance equipment you want fitted rather than added,
whether you want all-wheel drive, and how the car should look and feel inside. Which trim you land on usually follows
from those 3 answers, and the table below matches each one to a grade.
What You Are Solving For
The Grade
Why
The lowest entry price
S
Safety Shield 360 and the full 201 hp are already standard, so nothing about the engine or the core safety
equipment is held back
Driver assistance without moving far up the range
SV
The cheapest step on the sheet, and the one that makes ProPILOT Assist, Intelligent Lane Intervention and
Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention standard
Traction for a bad-weather week
Any all-wheel-drive grade
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive adds a 5-mode selector, with Snow and Off-Road settings the front-drive car does not
carry
Rough pavement and unpaved surfaces
Rock Creek
All-terrain tires, off-road-tuned suspension, Hill Descent Control and the most tire sidewall in the range
Looks and cabin comfort
Dark Armor
Blacked-out exterior details, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a panoramic moonroof
A fully equipped Rogue
Platinum
Sonar, Traffic Sign Recognition, the enhanced camera system, 19-inch wheels, ambient lighting, the Divide-N-Hide
floor and the option of semi-aniline leather
There is an honest limit to this range, and it is the same one on every grade. Every Rogue seats 5 and tows 1,500
pounds, and no amount of money moves either number. If you need a third row or a heavier trailer, no version of this
car solves it.
Warranty Coverage
Every new 2026 Rogue comes with Nissan's new-vehicle warranty, which runs on 4 separate clocks rather than one.
Coverage
Limit
Basic warranty
36 months or 36,000 miles
Powertrain
60 months or 60,000 miles
Corrosion
60 months
Roadside assistance
36 months
Powertrain runs 24 months and 24,000 miles past the basic warranty, which leaves powertrain and corrosion as the 2
longest clocks on the car, both at 5 years. Corrosion is the one that answers the salt on these roads through the
winter.
The full terms of each coverage, including how a month figure and a mileage figure work together, are set out in the
warranty booklet that comes with the car. Ask us and we will go through it with you before you buy rather than after.
Buying a Rogue at Ed Martin Nissan
Ask for a longer test drive than the block outside, put the Rogue on the interstate where you will actually use it, and
take the numbers home to think about.
What a particular Rogue sells for depends on its grade, its drivetrain, its paint and its options, and that figure is
listed with the car in our
new Nissan SUVs in Indianapolis.
Our new Nissan offers change from month to month, and whatever is running is listed on our
new Nissan deals page.
Once you have narrowed it down, you can book a
Rogue test drive ahead of time.
At launch the S listed at $29,490 with front-wheel drive and $30,890 with all-wheel drive, the SV at $30,490 and
$31,890, and the Dark Armor at $33,340 and $34,740. Individual prices sit with each car among the
new Nissan SUVs in Indianapolis.

Yes. All 5 grades are available with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, and 2 of them, the Rock Creek and the
Platinum, are built no other way. An all-wheel-drive Rogue sends power to all 4 wheels and gives you 5 drive
modes instead of 3: front-wheel-drive cars carry Standard, Eco and Sport, and all-wheel-drive cars add Off-Road
and Snow. On the S, the SV and the Dark Armor, all-wheel drive added $1,400 at launch over the front-drive
version of the same grade.
A front-drive Rogue is rated 29 mpg city, 36 highway and 32 combined. With all-wheel drive the same grades are
rated 28, 35 and 31 mpg, while a Rock Creek is rated 27, 32 and 29 mpg.
The Rogue holds 31.6 cubic feet with the rear seats up and 74.1 cubic feet once they fold.
Up to 1,500 pounds, with a separate limit of 150 pounds pressing down on the hitch itself.
It carries a 5-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and Nissan Safety
Shield 360 is standard on every grade. Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure
Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Braking and Intelligent Driver Alertness
are standard right across the range, so the entry S carries the same standard systems as the Platinum. What the
higher grades fit is equipment on top of those.
Rock Creek is the outdoor grade and Dark Armor is the appearance grade, and at launch they were $350 apart with
all-wheel drive. Rock Creek brings all-terrain tires on 17-inch dark alloy wheels, off-road-tuned suspension,
Hill Descent Control and a 220-pound tubular roof rack. Dark Armor brings black 19-inch wheels, gloss-black
exterior trim, heated PrimaTex leatherette-appointed front seats, a heated steering wheel and a panoramic roof.
Dark Armor is also offered in front-wheel drive, at $33,340 at launch, and Rock Creek is not.
No. Everything on this page, from the 201-hp VC-Turbo engine to the grade prices, describes the gas Rogue.
Nissan does also sell a Rogue Plug-In Hybrid, and it is a separate model from the gas Rogue.
