The 2012 Nissan Rogue  compact SUV will mainly be a carryover of the 2011 Rogue that went through a mid-cycle refreshening.

The 2012 Rogue will continue with similar styling to the 2011 Rogue, which received a new grille and front fascia, chrome-accented door moldings, and a rear spoiler. Other changes included tweaked styling, new color options, and a variety of new features like Bluetooth and a USB port.

The 2012 Rogue will sit in the middle of Nissan's five-seater crossover lineup,  between the smaller 2012 Nissan Juke, and larger 2012 Nissan Murano.

The 2012 Nissan Rogue will be offered in the same trims: S, SV, and Kr?m.

All models will come standard with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is also available for the Rogue, but its meant for messier on-road situations rather than off-road duty.

All models gain a Sport mode switch, and a new Special Edition Package is available. The value-oriented package includes steering-wheel stereo controls, a backup camera, a USB port, satellite radio and fog lights. Meanwhile, the SL Package gains Nissan's Around View Monitor.
