Here's the straight read on the 2022 Nissan Rogue. This example sold for $26,995, showed 76,167 km and is rated an official 7.6 L/100km combined.

This 2022 Nissan Rogue SL in crisp White comes loaded with leather-appointed comfort, a full suite of driver-assist safety tech, and Nissan's smooth 1.5L turbocharged engine paired with AWD. With 76,167km on the clock, this SL trim brings heated front and rear seats, a power liftgate, and adaptive cruise control for a genuinely premium crossover experience. A well-equipped, Rogue ready for Ontario winters.

What stood out about this one

I've always liked the Rogue SL because it's the trim that feels like Nissan didn't cut any corners. When this one came onto our lot, I could tell right away it had been well cared for — the white paint is clean, the leather seats show minimal wear, and everything from the touchscreen to the power liftgate works exactly as it should.

What I appreciate most about this particular Rogue is how complete the package is. You're not choosing between comfort and safety here — you get heated seats front and rear, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and that punchy little turbocharged engine that surprises people who expect a typical crossover to feel sluggish.

If you're cross-shopping compact SUVs in London, I'd encourage you to come sit in this one and take it for a drive. It's the kind of vehicle that quietly checks every box — safety, comfort, tech, and AWD confidence — without asking you to compromise on price.

Highlights

The 2022 Nissan Rogue SL represents the top of the Rogue lineup, and it shows the moment you step inside. This was the year Nissan redesigned the Rogue from the ground up, giving it a bold new exterior, a refined cabin, and a new turbocharged 1.5L engine that delivers smoother, more efficient power than the outgoing model. The SL trim adds the extras that make daily driving feel special: leather seating, heated front and rear seats, dual-zone climate control, and a power liftgate for easy loading. This trim is perfect for families and commuters in London and across Southwestern Ontario who want a capable AWD crossover without stepping up to a full-size SUV. The Rogue SL's suite of driver-assist features — adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking — gives drivers extra confidence on the 401 or navigating winter roads. Key strengths of this generation Rogue include its quiet, upscale cabin, excellent visibility, and genuinely useful cargo space. The AWD system paired with the turbocharged engine makes it a strong choice for Ontario's unpredictable weather, offering better traction and control than a front-wheel-drive-only alternative. At this price point and kilometre range, this Rogue SL is a smart buy for anyone who wants near-luxury features — leather, heated seats front and rear, premium tech — without paying luxury-brand prices. It's a practical, well-rounded crossover that's ready to handle everything from school runs to road trips.

South West's Take: “This Rogue SL is one of those vehicles that just makes sense — it's loaded with the features people actually use every day, from heated seats to adaptive cruise control, and the AWD gives real peace of mind through an Ontario winter. If you want a crossover that feels upscale without the luxury price tag, this is worth a look.”

  • 76,167 km
  • 1.5L turbocharged engine with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
  • All-Wheel Drive for confident Ontario winter driving
  • Leather seating with heated front and rear seats
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Power liftgate and roof rails for added versatility
  • Full suite of driver-assist safety tech including adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist
