Nissan today announced pricing for the 2010 Rogue and the introduction of the 2010 Nissan Rogue crossover SUV, which is on sale now at Nissan retailers nationwide.

The 2010 Nissan Rogue is offered in four high mileage models, each equipped with a standard 170-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, Nissan’s advanced Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and six air bags.

The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices* (MSRP) are:

                    Rogue S FWD             $20,340 USD
                    Rogue SL FWD            $21,930 USD
                    Rogue S AWD             $21,540 USD
                    Rogue SL AWD            $23,130 USD

For 2010, Rogue S models are available with a new 360 Value Package, which includes 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, privacy glass, integrated rearview mirror rearview monitor, auto-dimming rearview mirror, rear spoiler and chrome grille. The 360 Value Package is priced at $1,040, a $1,000 savings compared to purchasing items separately.

The Nissan Rogue crossover SUV continues to satisfy both the functional needs of the buyers and their emotional needs – including the versatility provided by a large 58 cubic feet of cargo space. Again in 2010, Rogue is available in Rogue S and Rogue SL trim levels and with an intuitive All-Wheel Drive system. Rogue SL models include standard 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
