Nissan Rogue Sport MPG

WHAT’S THE NISSAN ROGUE SPORT GAS MILEAGE?

The engine that you’ll find under the hood is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that supplies you with a satisfying output of up to 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque. This standard engine gives you smooth acceleration on the road. The Rogue Sport is also equipped with Eco Mode for a more sensible power delivery.

The Rogue Sport also has a standard Xtronic® CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) system across all trim levels. This dynamic engineering feat adjusts your speed for optimal energy transference. Since there are so many standard engineering features, the fuel economy you’ll achieve depends largely on the drivetrain type you choose.

When equipped with front-wheel drive, the Rogue Sport is capable of providing you with an EPA-estimated 25 city MPG and 32 highway MPG.¹ If you opt for the available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive configuration, it has an EPA-estimated 24 city MPG and 30 highway MPG.¹

These numbers show that no matter which drivetrain you pick, you can be confident that this formidable SUV will have your back. Additionally, the 2021 Rogue Sport takes regular unleaded fuel and provides you with a fuel tank that can hold as much as 14.5 gallons. That means you can potentially drive well over 400 miles on a single tank of gas!

ADVANCED PERFORMANCE FEATURES

The Nissan Rogue Sport has a wide variety of features that help you to boost its fuel economy. One such feature is Hill Start Assist, which comes standard on the vehicle. When you’ve been parked on a hill and are now ready to make it the rest of the way up, Hill Start Assist kicks in to ensure that you do not end up rolling back down. It does this by applying pressure to the brakes long enough for you to move your foot over to the gas pedal for a seamless acceleration.

The available Nissan Door to Door Navigation with Premium Traffic sees to it that you’re able to choose the quickest route to your destination to save the most fuel possible.

WHAT EFFECTS MY MILES PER GALLON?

The engineering at work in the Nissan Rogue Sport is the main contributor to its impressive fuel efficiency, but there are other factors at play that impact how many miles you get out of your fuel tank. Keeping these in mind will help you make more fuel conscious decisions down the road.

OVERALL WEIGHT

Weight is an important factor in your overall MPG. Simply put, the more your vehicle weighs, the more fuel it will need to get moving. The Nissan Rogue Sport is a nimble vehicle with a minimum curb weight of 3,307 pounds. Its light on its feet, hence its impressive fuel efficiency.

As you start to load up on passengers and cargo, you’ll end up with more mass weighing down your vehicle. The Rogue Sport seats up to five riders in its 96 cubic feet of passenger volume, letting everyone find a comfortable seat. The maximum 61.1 cubic feet of cargo volume lets you take more stuff with you as well.

Keep in mind that as you start to fill this space up, you’ll be adding a significant amount of weight to the Rogue Sport. Eventually, it will need to consume more fuel from the tank to give you the smooth acceleration you crave.

AERODYNAMICS AND WIND RESISTANCE

Modern vehicles like the Rogue Sport are designed to cut through the air when traveling at high speeds. One look at the sharp and sleek exterior and you’ll see how this Nissan SUV can slice through the air with ease and look good while doing it.

Adding surface area to your vehicle will make it harder to power through the wind, meaning that you’ll need more fuel to maintain your speed. The included roof rails let you tie down your large cargo for easy transportation. Just keep in mind that it will play into your fuel consumption.

TIPS TO IMPROVE FUEL ECONOMY

While you’re out on the road, there are various ways you can work to improve your fuel efficiency. Here are some quick and easy ways to improve your MPG.

• When you press the gas and brake pedals gently, you’ll make the most out of the energy that your engine makes. Slamming on either pedal will put undue stress on your engine, and your fuel will go to waste.
• Keep the windows up when traveling at high speeds. Even cracking them a bit will result in more drag. Let the available dual-zone automatic temperature control system cool you down instead.
• Avoid uneven paths when you can. Surfaces like bumpy dirt and gravel roads will require more gas to cross over.
