Something old, something new. When it comes to the Nissan Rogue compact crossover, it not only ranks as the brand’s top-selling new vehicle, it has just been named as one of Autotrader’s “10 Best Certified Pre-Owned” vehicles.
According to Autotrader, certified pre-owned vehicles accounted for a record 2.7 million sales in 2018. To help car shoppers find the top choices in this fast-growing area, Autotrader‘s expert editors named the 10 Best CPO Cars for 2019 and the 10 Best CPO Luxury Cars for 2019.
“As more features are added to today’s vehicles, new-car prices continue to rise, with even ‘affordable’ models costing as much as $35,000 or $40,000,” said Brian Moody, executive editor of Autotrader. “Our list of ‘good as new’ vehicles can bring the car a consumer wants into the price range they want to pay. These CPO vehicles are thoroughly inspected, covered by warranties and offer the latest designs, making it difficult to even tell the difference between their new car counterparts.”
In naming 2014 – 2018 Rogue to the list, the editors wrote: “The Rogue last received a full redesign for the 2014 model year, and therefore examples up to five years old look just like brand new models. Nissan’s certified pre-owned limited warranty is pretty good too, offering coverage for 7 years or 100,000 miles from the vehicle’s original sale date.” They also noted Rogue’s wide range of available technology features.
“Since the second-generation Rogue was launched five years ago, sales have been phenomenal – meaning the immense customer demand for new Rogues has carried over into the pre-owned Rogues,” said Brandon White, director, CMM & Marketing Operations, Nissan North America, Inc. “We’re pleased to be recognized by a leading authority like Autotrader for something we’ve always known – old or new, Rogue is a tremendous vehicle and tremendous value.”
All 2014 – 2018 Rogues, along with the latest 2019 model, are available in three well-equipped grade levels, S, SV and SL – each offering a highly desirable combination of compact overall size and ample interior roominess. Each is equipped with a responsive 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine matched with an advanced Xtronic transmission.
