You know that feeling when you’re heading to Martha’s Vineyard for the week, the car is packed, playlist is queued up, and you’re cruising down the highway with nothing but good vibes ahead? That’s exactly the kind of energy the 2025 Nissan Rogue brings.
This isn’t your average midsize crossover. It’s the plus-one that shows up ready for every part of your lifestyle. Whether you’re pulling up to a poolside soirée, grabbing oysters in Edgartown, or taking a detour down a tree-lined dirt road just for the view, the Rogue keeps the experience smooth, stylish, and elevated.
First Impressions Matter
From the jump, the Rogue turns heads. The updated grille and sleek lines give it a bold-but-not-too-flashy look. Like someone who knows luxury but doesn’t need to name-drop it. Our test model, in a rich two-tone colorway with a black roof and wheels, looked equally at home valet-parked at a beachside dinner or parked at the farmers market.
Inside Vibes
Step inside and it’s a whole other level. Nissan’s got this “Zero Gravity” seating technology. We honestly thought was marketing fluff until we drove from Boston to Martha’s Vineyard and didn’t once complain about our backs. Leather-wrapped touches, an optional panoramic moonroof, and real attention to detail make it feel way more premium than the price tag suggests.
Tech That Keeps Up
The Rogue doesn’t just look smart, it is smart. The Platinum trim comes with Google built-in, meaning you can ask for directions to that tucked-away wine bar or blast your favorite Afrobeats playlist with a simple “Hey Google.” Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard in most trims, and the digital display is crisp and easy to use even if you’re the designated DJ.
Handles Like a Dream
Now let’s talk drive. The Rogue is quick enough to zip through weekend traffic, smooth enough to glide over bumpy side roads, and just tall enough to give you that “queen of the road” confidence. And if you’re heading to one of those secret beach spots that aren’t exactly on the map? The Rock Creek edition has just enough ruggedness to handle it with all-terrain tires and a little extra lift.
Sustainably Stylish
With mileage in the low 30s mpg and eco-conscious design touches throughout, the Rogue lets you feel good about your drive, especially when you’re headed to an empowering panel at UPTOWN House or cruising over to the closing night party.
If you’re the kind of person who loves luxury but still values practicality and who wants a car that can do the school drop-off and pull up in style to a Vineyard soirée, the 2025 Nissan Rogue might just be your next move. It’s comfort without compromise and style without stress. And with Nissan supporting this year’s UPTOWN Vineyard experience, it just makes sense to roll with a brand that rides for our community.
