Few vehicles offer the balance of utility and style found in the 2026 Nissan Rogue. This compact SUV remains a fan favorite thanks to its smart technology and generous interior space. If you are comparing the entry-level S trim with the mid-level SV, this guide will outline the performance, styling, and feature differences you need to know.
Performance
Under the hood, both Rogue trims feature the innovative 1.5-liter VC-Turbo engine. This powertrain is a standout, providing 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque for a responsive drive. An Xtronic CVT handles gear transitions seamlessly. While FWD is the standard offering, the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is an available upgrade that includes an Off-Road mode, making the Rogue ready for trails and tough terrain.
Appearance
The Rogue S makes a statement with sharp LED headlights and 17-inch alloy wheels. Its exterior is further defined by a bold black grille with gray highlights. For a more aggressive presence, the SV trim moves up to 18-inch alloy wheels. SV buyers also benefit from a broader selection of exterior colors, making it easier to find a look that matches your personal taste.
Features
The Rogue S delivers an impressive tech suite for its price point, including an 8.0-inch touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Long drives are made better by Nissan's Zero Gravity seats and standard driver aids like Blind Spot Warning. It also comes with the basics like Bluetooth and a reliable four-speaker audio setup.
For those seeking more refinement, the SV trim adds dual-zone climate control and a power-adjustable seat for the driver. It introduces ProPILOT Assist, a semi-autonomous system that helps with steering and braking on the highway. Additionally, the SV includes an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, remote start, and an upgraded six-speaker sound system for an enhanced audio experience.
