The Rogue runs on a 201-horsepower VC-Turbo engine, offering smooth acceleration and impressive highway efficiency at up to 6.7 L/100 km. Its Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system adapts seamlessly to changing road conditions, making it ready for any terrain or weather.

Drivers seeking extra punch can upgrade to the 2.5 Turbo engine, pushing up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy stays efficient at around 7.7 L/100 km on the highway.
Comfort and Cabin Experience
Inside the Rogue, you’ll find an inviting cabin for five passengers, complete with available semi-aniline leather-appointed seats, Tri-Zone Automatic Temperature Control, and a Dual Panel Panoramic Moonroof. Its 2,098-litre of max cargo space gives you room for everything from groceries to weekend gear. The CX-5 counters with refined leather-trimmed interiors, heated front seats, and even ventilated seating on higher trims. Mazda’s signature quiet cabin design and terracotta or black suede-like trim in the Suna Edition create an upscale, comfortable drive for all passengers.
Connectivity and Tech
The Rogue takes the lead on digital integration with Google built-in for five years, giving access to Google Maps, Assistant, and Play Store right from your dash. Add wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and three digital displays, and you’ve got tech that feels truly connected. Meanwhile, the CX-5 offers Mazda Connected Services through the MyMazda app, letting you remotely check vehicle health, lock doors, and even control climate. Its Bose premium 10-speaker sound system and colour Active Driving Display keep the drive both immersive and intuitive.
Safety and Driver Confidence
The Rogue packs the full Nissan Safety Shield 360, featuring Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Pedestrian Detection. With its 360-degree protection system, every drive feels a little more confident.
