The 2026.5 Nissan Rogue is a five-passenger compact crossover built around a VC-Turbo engine, available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, and a cabin sized for weekend gear as easily as a daily commute. With 201 horsepower and up to 36 MPG on the highway, the Rogue lineup at Nissan of Tustin gives Riverside drivers a crossover that can handle both freeway miles and a last-minute trip out of town.
The Rogue’s VC-Turbo engine makes 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque, with a fuel economy rating of 29 MPG city and 36 MPG highway. Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive adds Sport, Auto, Eco, Snow, and Off-Road drive modes, which suits the mix of freeway stretches and surface streets drivers see between Riverside and Anaheim.
Seating for five comes standard, with available leather-appointed seats and Tri-Zone climate control that keeps front and rear passengers comfortable on longer trips out toward Orange. A panoramic moonroof and thoughtful cabin storage make the Rogue easy to live with for school runs around Anaheim or a weekend loaded up with gear.
The available HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor helps with tight parking around Anaheim, while Google built-in lets drivers control maps and climate by voice. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect a compatible phone automatically, and NissanConnect Wi-Fi Hotspot keeps up to seven devices online for the drive to Riverside or Orange.
The mid-cycle update brings the new Rogue Dark Armor trim, which adds a panoramic moonroof, gloss black accents, and a bolder stance on top of the standard Rogue’s capability. The changes come alongside fresh recognition for the model, including a JD Power win for New Vehicle Quality among compact SUVs and a 2026 Best Buy Award from Consumer Guide Automotive, the twelfth year in a row for that honor.
Whether the drive is a straight shot to Riverside or a slower crawl through Anaheim traffic, the Rogue’s available AWD and drive modes give it an edge over a standard sedan when weather or road conditions change. The 2025 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK rating and NHTSA 5-Star Overall Vehicle Safety Rating add peace of mind, and the extra cargo room behind the second row makes weekend trips out past Orange easier to pack for.
Nissan of Tustin stocks the Rogue alongside the rest of the new Nissan lineup for Orange County shoppers, and the finance team can walk buyers through options once they’re ready to apply for financing. Anyone trading in a current vehicle can start with the value your trade tool to see where they stand before picking a Rogue trim. Once the Rogue is home, the dealership’s factory-trained technicians handle maintenance with genuine OEM parts, and owners can schedule a service visit without a phone call.
