The four-speaker audio system can play your favorite artists or music genre from several different sources as standard, including via an auxiliary jack, dual USB ports, CD player, wireless streaming, and AM/FM radio.
2. Practical powertrain
Look no further than the 2022 Rogue Sport for powertrain practicality and agility. Each 2022 model features a 141-hp, 2.0L four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive.

The 2022 Rogue Sport SV and SL models also have Nissan’s Divide-N-Hide® cargo system, allowing you to raise or lower the cargo floor, and separate different loads.

Enhancing your driving awareness is the 2022 Rogue Sport's long list of standard driver aids. If your regular routes include multi-lane highways, you’ll appreciate the Rogue Sport’s blind spot warning system and cruise control. At a workplace garage or grocery store lot, use the rear cross-traffic alert feature and rearview camera to aid parking maneuvers. The intelligent trace control features support stability when cornering, while the automatic high beam function will adjust your headlights for oncoming traffic.
