Drop on by our dealership, kick the tires, try out the Nissan Rogue in Knoxville TN and you will agree the latest incarnation of this popular crossover is worth every penny.

The Rogue’s Exterior

The Rogue provides 7.8" of ground clearance, ensuring you can head on out to rural Knoxville and venture across shallow water, rocks, boulders and other off-road challenges without worry.

The Rogue’s Interior


The interior of the Rogue is quite luxurious. Sit down in the driver or passenger seats and you will find there is ample space. In fact, the entirety of the Rogue’s interior provides more space than most expect. Fold the back seats forward and you will have 74 cubic feet of room for cargo. Nearly 40 cubic feet of space is available behind the Rogue’s back row. A nook is now present behind the wheel arch within the trunk to accommodate the storage of items around the size of a gallon of milk. The rear doors now have sunshades to keep those harmful UV rays from the sun away from backseat riders as you make your way to Ijams Nature Center, Market Square, Zoo Knoxville or another local destination.

  • Keyless start
  • 3 high-tech displays: heads-up display, 9-inch touchscreen and digital dashboard
