I'm wavering between colors for 2016 Rogue SV with 3rd row. I like the cayenne color best, but I'm not sure it's the best option for me. I don't have a garage, so my car will be parked in the driveway. I'm concerned the red won't stay as clean looking as the gun metallic (I currently have a silver car which does great with hiding color, but am wanting a change in car color this time and not considering silver). My car will go a long time between baths, so it's important that the car camouflage the dirt. What are your experiences and or thoughts?

I'm also wondering what are the best accessories to include when purchasing the car?

Thanks for your help :)

2 very different colors. That red wont be too bad hiding dirt. Go with whatever you like best

We had Gun Metal grey on our Sentra and it was great for hiding the dirt. Always looked clean, unless of course you travelled on a muddy dirt road.

I hope you are looking at actual cars, on the lot, and not on the Nissan web site.
We chose the blue on the website for our '15 - it looked gorgeous. But when we went to buy one, the actual color was an almost-black grey. You could see some blue in direct sunlight, if augmented with a spotlight.
We opted for the Cayenne Red instead. (My own taste; it seems that every car on the road that isn't silver or grey, is white.)
We had the Rogue immediately given the Opti-coat Pro ceramic coating at a certified shop (not at a dealership!). It will stay great-looking in the Florida sun, and is super-easy to clean.

I love the blue and the red... The best color Ive seen thus far though, is the mineral black (new color for 2016)

Thanks for the input.

I went to compare colors at a Nissan lot today. I was surprised to see how much small scratches showed up on the red (NC had a lot of rain/storms theses past few weeks and I'm guessing some cars got scratched by the debris). As much as I love the red and also the blue, I think I'll go with the safer gray color. Not nearly as pretty or exciting, but more practical for me in the long run.
