Compact crossovers are hugely popular. The bestselling vehicle model in the U.S.A. is Ford’s F-Series lineup. Hot on its heels is the Chevrolet Silverado full-size truck family. But in third place is the Toyota RAV4 (from Georgetown Kentucky), and fourth goes to the Honda CR-V (assembled in Indiana and Ohio). The humble Nissan Rogue (some of which are assembled in Smyrna, Tennessee) takes ninth. But that still puts it ahead of every Jeep model, every Subaru model, and some other perennial bestsellers.
Nissan sold 245,723 Rogues in 2024. That’s down slightly from the 271,458 it sold in 2023. But with the crossover’s latest full redesign in 2020, it makes sense sales dipped a bit. And that’s still a ton of vehicles. This thing outsold the Honda Civic AND Toyota Corolla. It even outsold the Tacoma. There’s no Jeep model, or Subaru model, that outsold the Rogue.
The Rogue is far and away Nissan’s bestselling product in the USA. Second place goes to the Nissan Sentra which achieved 152,752 sales in 2024. In third place, the Altima claimed 113,896. Finally, the Pathfinder came in fourth with 74,556 sales.
Nissan introduced the Rogue for the 2008 model year. It offers the model in some foreign markets badged as the X-Trail. The latest generation of the Nissan Rogue comes with a CVT transmission and three-cylinder, 1.5-liter engine which makes 181 horsepower. During a 2023 facelift, upper trims got Nissan’s 12.3-inch touchscreen and “Google built in” software.
Is the Nissan Rogue made in Tennessee?
Just how much can the Nissan Rogue claim to be made in the USA? The truth is that some Rogues at US Nissan dealerships are made in Tennessee. But others are shipped here from Japan…
