Exploring the New Rogue CUV's Capabilities at Jackson Nissan

If you're looking for a new crossover SUV that is highly versatile and capable for your active lifestyle, you may be considering the 2020 Nissan Rogue. After all, Nissan's Rogue is a top-selling crossover utility vehicle (CUV) and offers impressive capability for all sorts of adventures.

If you'd like to tow and haul cargo with your new crossover, then you are in luck, as the 2020 Rogue from Nissan can do just that. While this compact CUV can't match that overall capability of pickups like the Nissan Frontier, Titan and Titan XD, it does offer some towing capacity and impressive cargo-hauling abilities.

Let's review the performance specifications of the new Nissan Rogue so that you can determine if this might be your ideal compact CUV. As always, the sales team here at Jackson Nissan is here to answer your questions regarding the Rogue or any other Nissan automobile's specifications, features, and technologies.

Towing Capacity & Technology

The 2020 Nissan Rogue sports a maximum towing capacity of 1,102 pounds, which means this crossover is a great option for drivers seeking a light-duty vehicle that can transport a small trailer. The Rogue's standard 170-hp 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine generates 175 lb-ft of torque and helps this affordable crossover achieve its ample towing capabilities.

The new Nissan Rogue and its array of technologies to make it a confident vehicle for towing small trailers. Performance and safety features offered on the 2020 Rogue that enable towing confidence include:

• Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD): The advanced AWD system sends power to where it is best used and helps optimize traction when towing.
• Intelligent Around View® Monitor: This 360-degree camera system gives the driver a bird's-eye view of the Rogue's surroundings and makes maneuvering with a trailer safer and easier.
• Hill Start Assist: Accelerate from a standstill on an incline with confidence with this safety feature.
• Active Ride Control: Stay in control when driving or trailering with this active safety feature that utilizes subtle brake force to reduce vehicle pitching motions over bumps.
• ProPILOT Assist: Semi-autonomous driving technology for highway use. Keep in your intended lane and a safe distance from traffic with this Nissan tech.

Max Payload or Hauling Capability

Many drivers and crossover SUV shoppers already know that the Nissan Rogue boasts impressive cargo-hauling capabilities, thanks to its generous cargo hold area. There are 39.3 cubic feet of cargo volume when all seats are upright, and up to 70 cubic feet when folding down the entire 60/40-split rear seat.

What about the Rogue's payload capacity, though? Payload is the amount of weight a vehicle can carry within its cabin and cargo area. Anything you put inside a vehicle, from passengers to cargo, counts as part of the payload.

Nissan's 2020 Rogue boasts a 900-lb maximum payload capacity, which means you can carry quite a bit of weight in this compact CUV! Let's say that you are transporting yourself and two passengers in your new Rogue. If the three occupants weigh 500 pounds in total, then you can still load up another 400 pounds of gear in the Rogue's cargo hold and stay within its 900-lb max payload capacity.
