The 2009 Nissan Rogue includes a new features and options, but as it was introduced only in 2008, it remains largely unchanged for the new model year. The Rogue is a 4-door compact SUV that seats five, based on the same platform as Nissan's Sentra compact sedan. Two trims S ($21,000) and SL ($22,590) are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

The sole engine is a 175-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder, with continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The SL trim offers steering wheel mounted paddles for manual shifting.

In profile, the Nissan Rogue resembles the Murano, with particular reference to its egg-crate grille and rising beltline ending at its D-pillar. The cabin features front bucket seats; the instrument panel has two large gauges with orange illumination; silver accents wrap around the vents and control knobs. A folding front passenger seat is optional; the second row features a 60/40-split folding bench seat, allowing for cargo volume of 28.9 cubic feet. Optional equipment includes wireless cell phone link, leather upholstery, heated front seats, sunroof, keyless entry, push-button start and xenon headlights.

Safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags.
