Nissan Rogue Sport Performance Overview

Sold in the U.S. from 2017 to 2020, the Nissan Rogue Sport occupied the compact crossover segment with a single, steady performance profile rather than distinct high-output phases. Across 4 verified tests spanning 2017 to 2020, every result comes from the J11 generation and the same 141-hp MR20DD naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four gasoline powertrain. That consistency shows in the numbers: a 2017 SL recorded 0-60 in 10.0 seconds, while another 2017 SL test reached 9.8 seconds, establishing the early benchmark.

Through the later model years, change remained incremental. A 2019 SV posted 0-60 in 9.9 seconds, and the 2020 SL matched the model’s best at 9.8 seconds while also delivering its quickest quarter-mile at 17.4 seconds at 79.4 mph. Overall, the Rogue Sport’s tested range stays narrow, from 9.8 to 10.0 seconds to 60 mph, with an average quarter-mile of 17.53 seconds at 79.5 mph. As it stands today, the Rogue Sport’s U.S. production run is complete, and the available test data presents the J11 as a uniformly tuned gasoline-only crossover with modest variation between SL and SV trims.
