Nissan is a full-line automaker offering cars and trucks in virtually every segment of the market. Nissan is entering two new segments in 2008 with the introduction of the Rogue compact SUV, and the Altima mid-sized coupe.
The compact SUV segment is a tough segment, with well-established top-sellers like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. Nissan's first entry in this segment needed to be a good product and it is. The all-new Rogue wears handsome styling inside and out. Nissan markets the Rogue for its car-like agility. A 2.5L four-cylinder engine rated at 170-bhp, 175 lb-ft of torque, powers all models. A CVT transmission is standard on both FWD and AWD models.
The rest of Nissan's SUV line sees minor changes. The Armada wears updated styling, and the Nissan Pathfinder now offers a V8.
For those who thought the Altima wasn't sporty enough, Nissan now offers a stylish two-door coupe version. Equipment and powertrain choices mirror those in the sedan. The Altima coupe will do battle with a surprisingly sporty new Accord.
