Nissan Rogue Gas Mileage By Trim Level & Year

One of the reasons people turn to this powerful compact SUV is because of its Nissan Rogue MPG. The 2023 Nissan Rogue can get up to an EPA-estimated 30/37/33 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)¹ in its two entry-level trims with FWD – an impressive figure and one that you'll be thankful for on mornings when the signs for the local gas station are displaying bad news. Opting for another trim or drivetrain can affect this rating slightly but still offer stellar performance, as we will show in the guide below.

What Powers a 2023 Nissan Rogue for Sale

This compact SUV comes standard with a 1.5-liter DOHC 12-valve Variable Compression Turbo three-cylinder engine that delivers up to 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. An Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission with Manual Mode and FWD also contribute to its handling and your 2023 Nissan Rogue MPG.

However, you have the option to choose Intelligent All-Wheel Drive instead if you are interested in the extra traction that this system can provide and do not mind the slight dip in Nissan Rogue fuel economy. Here's how your gas mileage will shake out across trim levels, depending on which drivetrain you pick:

Of course, there are other reasons to pick a certain trim level over another. For example, the Platinum trim's benefits include ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats, a 12.3-inch digital dashboard with fully digital gauges, Nissan Door-to-Door Navigation with Premium Traffic Monitoring, and wireless Apple CarPlay® integration, so you should weigh the value of these perks carefully.

A Look at Past Nissan Rogue Models

The Nissan Rogue has naturally evolved since its debut in 2007 as a 2008 model. For example, between 2022 and 2023, Nissan automakers added the Midnight Package to give drivers a stylish dark update on the SV trim. Powertrains and Nissan Rogue MPG have naturally changed, too. For example, that first model featured a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that made 170 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque.

You also have the option to lease a Nissan Rogue if you want modern specs but also a cost-effective alternative to financing.

When the term is over, you can buy the SUV you've grown so fond of or switch to another ride that might better suit your ever-changing life.

Exploring Nissan Rogue Range

While many people care about fuel economy because they want to save money at the gas pump, efficiency also plays a role in how long you can stay on the road without filling up. Whether you're late for a work meeting, eager to get home, or want to push a few more miles on your road trip before making a pitstop, your range matters. The biggest factors in this, besides your MPG, are your Nissan Rogue gas tank size and the kind of driving you are doing.

For 2023, this SUV can travel 478 miles in its entry-level,¹⁷ FWD form, according to EPA estimates, utilizing its 14.5-gallon fuel tank. By contrast, an AWD version might be able to travel 450 miles¹⁷ before it needs a refill. That being said, you should never push your vehicle until it's empty. Instead, look for a gas station when your tank has depleted to a quarter of the way full.

Ways To Maximize Your Fuel Efficiency

Despite the numbers we have given, fuel economy can still fluctuate depending on factors such as traffic, road conditions, and the weather. Therefore, if you are looking to really go the distance with your fuel with your new Nissan Rogue or any other vehicle, practice the following:

• Keep up-to-date with any recommended maintenance: Oil changes, for example, help the engine to run better by lubricating the system's moving parts and reducing the chances of overheating. Delaying it and letting sludgy oil remain within your powertrain system will not only increase the risk of engine troubles down the line, but it will also harm your fuel efficiency.
• Keep your tires properly inflated: Underinflated tires run flatter on the road, causing drag that not only speeds up wear to your tires but also jeopardizes your fuel economy. Therefore, get a pressure gauge and an air pump that will let you assess your tires' condition and pump them up to the psi recommended in your owner's manual.
• Drive smoothly and steadily when possible: Accelerating hard and braking hard are not the most efficient techniques when it comes to driving. Therefore, try to keep up a steady pace when driving to any destination, whether it is a long road trip or a run to the grocery store. This isn't always easy in aggressive traffic, but strive to maintain a reasonable distance between you and the car in front of you in case they stop suddenly.
• Lighten the load: Your car's weight plays a role in how efficient it can be, which is often why AWD models are slightly less efficient than their FWD counterparts that have the same engine. What you keep in the car can also add to its weight, so if you've been reluctant to unpack that 40-pound bag of dog food in the trunk, now might be the time.
• Watch out for the weather: While we do not have a say in the weather conditions that we drive in, when you can, try to park in a sheltered environment. Having your car out in the hot sun can cause its gas to evaporate more quickly. This will require more trips to the pump. Additionally, keep in mind that exposing your car to cold temperatures can affect its battery, so try to warm up the vehicle whenever possible before driving.
• Don't idle: Keeping your car running without moving will waste a lot of gas, so if you know you're going to be stuck in one spot for longer than half a minute, turn off the vehicle. In many cases, people like to leave the car on to make use of the radio or the AC, but we recommend playing some tunes on your phone and rolling down the window unless it is unsafe to do so.

You should also keep in mind that if your fuel economy has taken a serious dip for no obvious reason, there is likely something wrong with your car. If this happens, it is important to seek the help of professionals right away. Being proactive can save you both time and money in the long run, especially because professionals can catch small issues before they turn into large, problematic, and costly problems.
