2026 Nissan Rogue Adds Dark Armor Trim, Raises Prices Modestly

Nissan has announced the 2026 Rogue with mostly carryover features and a modest average price increase of around $200, except for the top Platinum trim which sees a $1,000 price decrease and remains exclusively all-wheel drive. The key addition for 2026 is the new Dark Armor trim, based on the SV model, which offers distinct blacked-out exterior accents, 19-inch gloss black wheels, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic moonroof, and a 360-degree parking camera system. The Rogue continues with its turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine paired with a CVT, available with front- or all-wheel drive, and includes technology upgrades such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in and Nissan's ProPilot 2.1 semi-autonomous driving system in the Platinum trim. Nissan has not yet introduced the anticipated Rogue Hybrid for 2026 but is expected to announce it later in the year. The Rogue remains a significant model for Nissan amid competitive compact SUV market pressures, especially with all-new rivals like the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5 arriving for 2026. Overall, the 2026 Nissan Rogue blends subtle styling tweaks and feature enhancements without major redesigns or powertrain changes.
