Russ Darrow Nissan of West Bend – VC-Turbo Power and Confident Tech for Everyday Drives around Menomonee Falls, WI
If you’ve been researching compact SUVs that feel calm in traffic yet eager on open roads, the latest Rogue has likely caught your attention. The centerpiece is Nissan’s 1.5-liter VC-Turbo® engine—an ingenious design that changes its compression ratio on the fly. Paired with the Xtronic CVT®, it produces smooth, confident acceleration with an easygoing nature in daily driving. For many Menomonee Falls, WI drivers, that means a vehicle that can handle hectic school mornings, a sprint to the office, and a quick highway pass with a reassuring reserve of torque. Add available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and you’re set for the full calendar year, from summer road trips to snowy neighborhood streets.
Tech plays a big role in how relaxed a vehicle feels, and Rogue leans in with features that simplify the ordinary. You can opt for Google built-in to access Google Maps, Google Assistant, and apps via Google Play right from the 12.3″ touch-screen. An available 12.3″ digital dashboard and Head-Up Display help keep directions, safety alerts, and key data visible without clutter. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ reduce cable fuss, while NissanConnect® Services and the MyNISSAN app bring helpful tools, such as Remote Engine Start, Remote Climate Control, and Walk Away Status. Even better, the available 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor with Invisible Hood View adds next-level confidence in tight parking lots and tricky curbs.
- VC-Turbo® engine benefits: Variable compression technology balances strong acceleration with refined cruising.
- Drive Modes: Auto, Eco, and Sport come standard, with Snow and Off-Road added when you choose Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
- Google built-in: Use your voice for navigation and more via Google Assistant, plus download apps through Google Play.
- Wireless connectivity: Enjoy wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ plus available NissanConnect® Wi-Fi Hotspot for multiple devices.
- Parking confidence: Available 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor with Invisible Hood View helps you see obstacles from new angles.
Of course, safety isn’t an afterthought. Nissan Safety Shield® 360 comes standard with technologies like Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist. On the highway, available ProPILOT Assist supports hands-on lane centering and Intelligent Cruise Control with traffic stop-go, which helps reduce the strain of long commutes or weekend drives across town. The net result—calmer drives, more predictable responses, and added peace of mind, all baked right into the Rogue’s DNA.
