The 2024 Nissan Rogue is transformed into an off-road SUV with the Project Rugged Rogue concept for SEMA.
The 2024 Nissan Sentra concept channels past SE-R models with myriad performance upgrades, such as a highly modified turbo four and manual gearbox.
The 2024 Nissan Frontier at SEMA isn't a concept, it's a real-life off-road race truck that's packed with NISMO equipment.
Right now, the most exciting models in Nissan's portfolio are the GT-R and Z—both offer track-focused NISMO models. With this year's SEMA show kicking off next week, Nissan has transformed two of its most mainstream models into tantalizing concepts that are turnt up with NISMO add-ons.
A Truly Rugged Rogue
The regular Rogue has no business tackling tangled terrain or venturing very far from paved roads. Now imagine a world where the compact SUV had a jacked-up ride height and mud-terrain tires like the Ford Ranger Raptor—it even has amber running lights above the grille. That's the Project Rugged Rogue that Nissan is NISMO fitted with all manner of NISMO equipment.
Wearing a livery with a Reese's cups' color scheme and a topographical design, the Rogue concept has a roof rack packed with a bike and a kayak. There's a total of six front-mounted fog lights, carbon-fiber fender flares, and side rock rails as well as a front brush guard. NISMO also supplied a three-inch suspension lift and 18-inch wheels that are bronze up front and black out back. Those mount on a set of 32-inch Yokohama Geolander M/T G003 tires.
While there's no mention of any powertrain changes, the Rogue's 201-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder breaths through a custom center-exit exhaust that, frankly, looks badass.
