Small overlap front: driver-side
Rating applies to 2008-13 models
Tested vehicle: 2012 Nissan Rogue S 4-door 4wd
The Nissan Rogue was introduced in the 2008 model year. The vehicle was renamed the Rogue Select in the 2014 model year to distinguish it from the redesigned 2014 Rogue. The Rogue Select is less expensive and shares no ratings with 2014 and later models of the Rogue.

| Driver restraints and dummy kinematics The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but slid off the left side, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. The steering column moved 15 cm to the right as well as 15 cm upward, contributing to inadequate protection for the head and allowing little airbag cushioning for the chest. The side curtain airbag deployed and had sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag also deployed. |
Action shot taken during the small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space wasn't maintained well.
The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but then slid off the left side as the steering column moved upward and to the right. The side curtain airbag extended far enough forward toward the A-pillar to protect the head from contact with forward side structure.
Door hinge pillar and instrument panel intrusion was extensive and contributed to a significant risk of injury to the left lower leg and a moderate risk to the left foot.

Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained well (dummy's head obscured by deployed side curtain airbag).
Smeared greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head contacted the side curtain airbag and dislodged headliner during rebound.
Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.
