Small overlap front

The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.

Driver-side

  • Rating applies to 2021-25 models

Tested vehicle: 2021 Nissan Rogue SV 4-door 4wd

The Nissan Rogue was redesigned for the 2021 model year. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2021 Nissan Rogue conducted by Nissan.

Passenger-side

  • Rating applies to 2022-25 models built after April 2022

Tested vehicle: 2022 Nissan Rogue S 4-door 4wd

The Nissan Rogue was redesigned for the 2021 model year for vehicles built in the US. Beginning with 2021 Rogue models built in Japan after February 2021, changes to the passenger-side frontal airbag and front passenger safety belt were implemented to match US built vehicles, and to improve occupant protection in passenger-side small overlap crashes. Further changes to the passenger-side frontal airbag were made beginning with 2022 models built after April 2022. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar. Information about what country a vehicle was built in is available by decoding the VIN number, present at the base of the windshield on the driver side).

Three passenger-side small overlap tests were conducted by Nissan. Because there were no structural changes, the structure rating is based on this test and two other tests of Rogue models conducted by Nissan. Because there were no changes to the driver restraints, driver data is based on all three tests.

Driver head protection
The dummy's head moved downward past the side curtain airbag and struck the window sill of the driver door hard, while the head was in proximity to the intruding barrier. Although the barrier did not hit the dummy's head in this test, this near miss indicates that only slightly different crash circumstances could produce a direct hit to a person's head. The head protection is inadequate.

The dummy's head contacted the C-pillar hard, through the side curtain airbag. The head protection is inadequate.

On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves and fair on both left curves.

The low beams never exceeded glare limits.

High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual right curve and fair on the sharp right and both left curves.

High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway, on both left curves and on the sharp right curve.
