Nissan Rogue Named Best Compact SUV in Cars.com 2025 Challenge — Again!
The Nissan Rogue has done it again. For the third consecutive year, it has taken top honors in the Cars.com Compact SUV Challenge, and it’s easy to see why families in Keene and surrounding communities keep choosing the Rogue. Combining comfort, value, and advanced features, the 2025 Rogue is designed for everyday life—from morning commutes on West Street to weekend family outings near Mount Monadnock.
What Makes the Rogue a Three-Time Winner?
The 2025 Rogue was evaluated against six other compact SUVs and came out on top thanks to its exceptional performance in key categories like ride comfort, interior quality, and safety. Cars.com editors praised the Rogue Platinum for its “well-rounded” qualities and premium feel without the premium price.
With a low starting MSRP, Nissan has made the Rogue more accessible than ever for buyers in today’s competitive market. That’s a big win whether you’re running errands off Route 9 or picking up dinner from Elm City Brewery after work.
Everyday Performance, Built for Keene Roads
From the heavily traveled Route 101 to the quieter stretches of Washington Street, the Rogue’s VC-Turbo engine delivers fuel economy up to 30 mpg city and 37 mpg highway⁴. That’s perfect for drivers who frequent Route 12 on their daily commute or take longer trips to visit family in Swanzey or Brattleboro.
The Rogue’s interior is loaded with conveniences. Every trim comes with standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360² for peace of mind, plus Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Higher trims add features like hands-off freeway driving with ProPILOT Assist 2.1³—an ideal companion for road trips or traffic-filled drives to and from Keene State College.
Designed for Families and Everyday Life
The 2025 Rogue continues to deliver where it matters most to Keene families—storage, comfort, and flexibility. Whether you’re dropping the kids off at Franklin Elementary or hauling sports gear for a weekend game at Wheelock Park, there’s plenty of room and thoughtful tech to keep everything running smoothly.
The new Rock Creek edition adds rugged design elements and off-road enhancements like Hill Descent Control, appealing to those who enjoy exploring places like Pisgah State Park or making the drive out to Swanzey Lake Campground.
