Nissan Rogue Wins Newsweek Nod as Top Vehicle for New Parents

When families grow, they often think about how they will travel together. They look for comfort, interior space, and ease of entry and exit—the key factors that help families choose the right vehicle when they start bringing children into their homes.

These reasons point to the success of the 2024 Nissan Rogue. Recently, Newsweek magazine recognized the Rogue as its Top Pick in the New Parents category for their 2024 Newsweek Autos Awards.

The publication evaluated vehicles across 13 categories that are aligned with car buyer behaviors and identified the 2024 Rogue as an ideal vehicle for drivers with growing families.

This award came on the heels of a significant refresh for our most popular vehicle in the Nissan lineup. It is a right-sized SUV made for families of up to five people, with a large cargo space that is expandable to carry your lives together.

There are more reasons to celebrate the Rogue’s recent accolade. It is equipped with the most standard safety features in its class. Peace of mind is standard with the Nissan Safety Shield 360 on all trim levels. To keep families secure, the standard Rear Door Alert lets passengers know of forgotten items they left behind.

The rear doors open a full 90 degrees for not only entry and exit but also to fit and secure child safety seats in the back. With the rear seat’s width, you can fit adults or older children on either side of a center-positioned child seat. On hot days here in the heart of South Carolina, passengers will appreciate the available rear door sunshades that help keep sunlight off rear seat passengers.

As for carrying their precious items – including their luggage for family vacations – the 2024 Rogue also has up to 36.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, which expands to as much as 74.1 cubic feet with the second row folded down.

To keep families entertained and informed, the 2024 Rogue offers available Google Built-in with onboard apps. Using Google Assistant, you can get directions or have questions answered for your children to be entertained. It would also answer the question “are we there, yet?’

Making sure you all get there, the 2024 Rogue is powered by the innovative 1.5-liter VC-Turbo engine. This engine delivers impressive gas engine fuel economy, helping make for fewer gas station stops on family road trips.

Nissan is not resting on its laurels. For 2025, more family adventures await in the new Rogue Rock Creek edition, both on and away from the highway. For even more security and confidence, the available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 allows attentive drivers to go hands-free when driving on the highway.
