Rogue Features

The 2010 Rogue will be powered by the 170hp 2.5L four-cylinder engine, mated with the Xtronic CVT automatic transmission. Four wheel disc brakes with ABS and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) are also featured. The 360 package that includes 16” wheels, rear spoiler, and chrome grille will still be offered, though the Krom edition will be the only option to be equipped with 17” aluminum-alloys.
The Krom package will also add aggressive fascias front and rear, with integrated fog lights, body colored power outside mirrors, and steering wheel mounted audio controls.

“The new Krom edition expands Rogue’s already strong appeal, bringing its
unmistakable sporty and active design to buyers seeking to stand out from the
crowd of ordinary compact SUVs,” said Pat Steiner, director, Specialty
Vehicles Group, NNA. “Just as our NISMO models add enhanced performance
straight from the factory, the Krom lineup offers intriguing, customized
design right off the showroom floor.”

The limited production Rogue Krom edition is available in both front-wheel and
all-wheel drive configurations and in just three exterior colors – Venom Red,
Wicked Black and Gotham Gray.

Built on the solid foundation of the Rogue S, the Krom edition adds 17-inch
brilliant finish aluminum-alloy wheels with P225/60R Continental Conti 4×4
Contact tires and a unique grille embedded in the aggressive front fascia with
integrated fog lights. In the rear, the Rogue Krom edition includes a boldly
styled sport fascia with integrated center-exit exhaust, a body-colored rear
spoiler and rear privacy glass. Body-colored power outside mirrors, a Krom
emblem and steering wheel-mounted audio controls complete the Krom equipment
modifications.

“The new Krom edition expands Rogue’s already strong appeal, bringing its
unmistakable sporty and active design to buyers seeking to stand out from the
crowd of ordinary compact SUVs,” said Pat Steiner, director, Specialty
Vehicles Group, NNA. “Just as our NISMO models add enhanced performance
straight from the factory, the Krom lineup offers intriguing, customized
design right off the showroom floor.”

Based at NNA headquarters in Franklin, Tenn., the Specialty Vehicles Group was
formed in August 2006 to develop niche derivatives of Nissan vehicles.

“Krom adds a level of style and appearance, along with a sense of intrigue,
excitement and self-expression. The Krom name suggests ‘cars with attitude,’
rather than a literal interpretation of chrome wheels or trim,” added Steiner.
“We leverage our speed and flexibility in bringing exciting new products to
market – faster and for less than ‘mainstream’ models.”
