Crossover SUVs are very popular nowadays, as more and more drivers want a car that can fit multiple purposes. The 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport does exactly that, allowing you to slide through traffic as you would in a sedan or hatchback, but also having some of the main qualities of SUVs, such as interior space and comfort.

Main Interior Features for Each Trim Level

There are three main trims available for the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport: S, SV, and SL. Even the basic S trim has a very good-looking and well-equipped interior, with standard features such as elegant cloth upholstery, folding rear seats, and a driver’s seat that can be adjusted in height. The standard version also comes with a 7-inch touch-screen interface that allows the driver to control all the vehicle’s infotainment functions, multiple smartphone integration options, satellite radio, two USB ports, and a great-sounding four-speaker audio system.

The SV trim adds even more options and features, with some of the most useful being the push-start ignition system, dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated steering wheel and front seats, and an upgraded six-speaker sound system, among others. An extra technology package is available, adding interior amenities like simulated leather seat upholstery and memory settings for the driver’s seat, allowing the driver to have the car memorize multiple driving positions.

Finally, the top SL trim adds even more style and functionality. The seats are made of natural leather and the infotainment interface also gets a navigation system. Those who want to get the absolute best Rogue Sport they can get can opt for the SL Premium Package, which adds a gorgeous sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power-adjustable passenger seat, and an amazing eight-speaker Bose sound system.

Interior Space

Nissan Rogue Interior Wheel

Despite its compact-looking exterior, the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport offers a spacious cabin, with comfortable seats for four large adults. There’s plenty of leg and headroom, making the Rogue Sport a good vehicle for long drives, while the narrow roof pillars give the driver the visibility they need to safely navigate through traffic. Adding to the driver’s visibility, the high seat positions offer a good perspective on the road ahead. The rear seats also have lower anchor points for installing child safety seats, making it an appropriate vehicle for drives with the entire family. 

Interior Comfort

The 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport’s cabin is not only spacious but also comfortable. The tri-zone automatic climate control allows virtually everyone inside the vehicle to set the temperature level where they are most comfortable, while the optional heated steering wheel is a more than welcome addition for drivers in colder areas. The interior comfort is also enhanced by the excellent insulation system, which does a great job in keeping most road, wind, and engine noises firmly outside the Rogue Sport’s cabin. 

The suspension system also contributes to a smooth and relaxing ride, as it’s stiff enough to keep the vehicle steady during tight maneuvers, but also soft enough to cancel out most minor bumps in the road.

Storage Capability

The 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport has 22.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, which should be enough for holiday luggage or for carrying a dog crate. In addition to the generous cargo space, it also comes with the Divide-N-Hide system, which creates six different ways to organize the cargo space. However, if you’re in need of even more space, you can almost triple the available cargo room by folding the back seats. You will be getting 61.1 cubic feet that way, making this crossover SUV a great fit for those who occasionally have to carry large loads. 

There’s also plenty of in-cabin storage, for various small items that you need with you inside the cabin. There are two cupholders available, as well as a large center console that can be used for storage. Each of the four doors has its own door pocket, allowing every passenger to store even more items. 

Interior Technology

No modern vehicle would be complete without infotainment technology and the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport certainly doesn’t disappoint in that department. The driver’s digital dashboard is 12 inches wide and has lots of customization choices, allowing you to have it display exactly the information that you feel you would need to access without taking your eyes off the road for too long. It even takes it one step further, by showing various information directly on your windshield, through a heads-up display system that can be used to show things like current speed and navigation info.

The 7-inch touch-screen interface is also highly configurable and can be set to display a wide variety of useful information. Smartphone integration is available in any trim through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, the two USB ports, or directly through Bluetooth, so everyone inside can use their smartphones to control the infotainment features. They can also use NissanConnect, integrated audio, video, and communication system that not only gives you full access to navigation and music streaming services but also remote access to some of the vehicle’s basic functions, like the door locks, lights, horn, and ignition.

Driver Aids

A vehicle’s interior technology is not only designed to inform and entertain you, but also to help you avoid any unwanted road events. The 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport comes with many useful standard active safety features that are only available as options on many other vehicles. Some of the most useful are the rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure mitigation, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision mitigation systems, which work together to detect any imminent danger around the Rogue Sport. The rear parking sensors also help maneuver the vehicle in tight places and it can be upgraded to a 360-degree camera. 

The 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport is definitely a great-looking car both inside and out, with ample cargo and passenger space, modern technology, and useful driver aids. If you’d like to see one for yourself or even take it for a test drive, all you have to do is visit us at Rydell Nissan of Grand Forks.
