Although an all-new 2014 Nissan Rogue is slated to arrive in showrooms in November, Nissan has announced that the current Rogue will live on. Due to its popularity, the current Rogue is being renamed the Rogue Select.
The Rogue Select will arrive in January 2014 starting less than $20,000. According to Nissan, the “strategy behind this move is to satisfy demand for the popular compact sports utility vehicle, currently second-highest seller in Nissan’s lineup, as well as provide customers an additional choice in the segment.”
“As the compact SUV segment is becoming very specialized, there is an opening for a low-cost, high-content offering, which is a gap that Rogue Select will fill,” said Fred Diaz, divisional vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. “Rogue Select will allow Nissan to continue its strong performance in the segment, which will only get stronger once the all-new, U.S.-built 2014 Rogue goes on sale.”
Last year Nissan sold 142,349 Rogues in the U.S., but it remains to be seen how much of the current demand will switch to the newer model.
