The 2016 Nissan Rogue SV is a versatile compact SUV that offers a well-balanced mix of efficiency, comfort, and modern technology. Positioned between the base S and the top-tier SL trim, the SV is a popular choice for drivers who want added features without stepping into the premium price bracket.

The Rogue SV is powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine producing 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission). While performance is tuned more for efficiency than speed, it provides a smooth and comfortable driving experience. Front-wheel drive comes standard, with an all-wheel-drive option for added traction in bad weather or light off-road conditions.

The SV trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels, body-colored side mirrors with integrated turn signals, and roof rails. It also includes keyless entry and push-button start. The overall design is modern and aerodynamic, with a sculpted front end and Nissan’s signature V-Motion grille.

Inside, the Rogue SV offers upgraded cloth upholstery, a 6-way power driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 5-inch infotainment display with NissanConnect. It includes satellite radio, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, and optional features like a power liftgate and panoramic moonroof, depending on the package.

Standard safety features on the SV include a rearview monitor, traction and stability control, anti-lock brakes, and multiple airbags. When equipped with the optional SV Premium Package, it adds advanced features like blind spot warning, lane departure warning, and forward emergency braking.

With seating for five and up to 70.0 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded, the 2016 Rogue SV is ideal for daily driving, commuting, or road trips. The “Divide-N-Hide” cargo system adds flexibility for organizing your gear, and the available third-row seating (on some models) allows for up to seven passengers in a pinch.
