The 2025 Nissan Rogue makes a bold statement in the world of SUVs with its combination of rugged capabilities, advanced technology, and stylish design. Whether you’re navigating the streets of Burnsville or exploring Minnesota’s outdoor trails, the Rogue delivers a versatile driving experience that’s perfect for any adventure. With the introduction of the Rock Creek edition and the next-generation ProPILOT Assist 2.1, the 2025 Rogue is a standout in its class, blending practicality with excitement.

Rogue Rock Creek Edition: Go Beyond the Pavement

The newly introduced Rock Creek edition of the 2025 Rogue caters to drivers with a sense of adventure. Designed with outdoor enthusiasts in mind, the Rock Creek is built to handle rough terrain while maintaining comfort and convenience for everyday driving.

• Bold Exterior Design: The Rock Creek edition sports an aggressive look that stands out on both city streets and off-road trails. It features a gloss black front grille with silver accents, a redesigned front fascia accented in Lava Red, and gloss black sideview mirrors. These details create a striking visual appeal that speaks to the SUV’s off-road capabilities. The tubular roof rack with integrated crossbars, also trimmed in Lava Red, offers both style and functionality, perfect for carrying extra gear on your weekend getaways.
• All-Terrain Tires for Every Adventure: The 2025 Rogue Rock Creek is equipped with 235/65R17 Falken Wild Peak all-terrain tires on 17-inch satin black wheels, providing the traction needed to conquer gravel roads, light trails, or snowy Minneapolis winters. These tires are known for their durability and long lifespan, ensuring confidence whether you’re on pavement or off the beaten path.
• Interior Designed for Comfort and Durability: Inside the Rock Creek, you’ll find water-repellent leatherette seating with unique inserts, making it easy to clean after a day of adventure. The Lava Red accent stitching continues the rugged theme inside the cabin, while the piano black dashboard trim adds a touch of sophistication. The Rock Creek edition also comes with heated front seats, ensuring comfort even in Minnesota’s harsh winters. Whether you’re exploring the North Shore or commuting in the city, the interior combines practicality and style.
• Functional and Spacious: The motion-activated power liftgate makes loading gear easier than ever. Simply wave your foot under the bumper, and the liftgate opens, perfect when your hands are full of camping gear or groceries. The 60/40 split rear seats offer flexibility, allowing you to transport both passengers and larger cargo with ease. With a 12-volt power outlet in the cargo area, the Rock Creek edition also ensures that you can power up essential outdoor equipment, such as air pumps or portable coolers, on the go.

High-Tech Features for Off-Road and City Driving

One of the standout features of the Rogue Rock Creek is its HD Intelligent Around View® Monitor, which includes an Off-Road View. This feature is designed to give drivers a comprehensive view of their surroundings, making it easier to navigate tricky terrain. The Off-Road View operates at speeds up to 12 mph, providing a clear view of obstacles that may not be visible from the driver’s seat. Whether you’re traversing a narrow trail or navigating an unfamiliar gravel road, this feature enhances your control and confidence.

The Hill Descent Control system adds to the off-road capability, ensuring a steady, controlled descent on steep inclines. This feature is particularly useful when exploring the rugged areas of Minnesota, where uneven terrain can be challenging to navigate. Combined with the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, the Rock Creek edition is well-equipped for outdoor adventures, yet it remains comfortable and easy to handle during daily commutes.

ProPILOT Assist 2.1: Next-Generation Hands-Free Driving

The 2025 Nissan Rogue introduces the latest version of Nissan’s driver assistance technology with ProPILOT Assist 2.1. Available on the SL and Platinum trims, this cutting-edge system allows drivers to experience hands-free driving in single-lane freeway conditions, making it a game-changer for long-distance trips and highway driving.

• How It Works: ProPILOT Assist 2.1 uses advanced sensors and cameras to manage the Rogue’s acceleration, braking, and steering in specific conditions. While the system offers hands-free functionality, it still requires the driver to remain attentive and ready to take control if needed. This balance between assistance and driver engagement ensures a safe, stress-free driving experience, especially on Minnesota’s extensive freeway system.
• Additional Driver Assistance Levels: For drivers who opt for the SV or Rock Creek trims, ProPILOT Assist combines Intelligent Cruise Control with Steering Assist, enhancing driving comfort during long journeys. The system also offers Adaptive Cruise Control, which maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead, adjusting speed as needed to keep you safe and at ease on busy highways.

Whether you’re heading out on a road trip across Minnesota or simply tackling the daily commute, ProPILOT Assist 2.1 helps reduce the stress of long drives, making it easier to stay relaxed and focused.

Innovative Technology to Enhance Every Drive

Nissan has packed the 2025 Rogue with a range of technologies that cater to both entertainment and safety, ensuring that every journey is enjoyable and secure.

• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: These systems come standard on the S, SV, and Rock Creek trims, seamlessly integrating your smartphone with the Rogue’s infotainment system. Whether you need directions from Google Maps, want to stream music, or manage your text messages hands-free, these platforms make it easy to stay connected on the go.
• Safety Shield® 360: Standard across all 2025 Rogue models, Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 suite includes advanced features like Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. These features help keep you and your passengers safe by monitoring your surroundings and providing timely alerts.
• Advanced 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor: The SL and Platinum trims offer an upgraded 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor, providing a detailed 360-degree view of your surroundings. With additional camera angles like Front Wide View and the new Invisible Hood View, this system offers unparalleled visibility, helping you avoid curbs, obstacles, or tight parking spots with ease. It’s perfect for city driving and parking in compact spaces, as well as for off-road navigation.

Fuel Efficiency Meets Power

Under the hood, the 2025 Nissan Rogue is powered by a 1.5-liter Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) engine, delivering 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. This engine is designed to optimize both power and fuel efficiency, adjusting its compression ratio on the fly based on driving conditions.

• Best-in-Class Fuel Economy: With Idle Stop/Start technology, the Rogue offers impressive fuel efficiency, saving gas while idling at stoplights or in heavy traffic. This feature, along with the efficient VC-Turbo engine, helps the 2025 Rogue achieve some of the best fuel economy numbers in its class. Whether you’re driving in stop-and-go traffic or cruising on the highway, the Rogue ensures you get the most out of every gallon.
