Winter Driving

How does the Rogue (AWD) handle in winter?? I live in the Yukon and we have 6 months of winter (-30)!!!! How are the tires in the winter???

Stock all season tires are horrible in the snow. Get yourself some inter tires and the Rogue will be almost unstoppable. Other than that, it handles the snow just fine. The VDC (stability control) system does a wonderful job keeping the Rogue pointed in the right direction and the traction control keeps wheel spin at a minimum.

You will be happy to know that Canadian model Rogues come standard with a block heater, heated side mirrors, and low washer fluid indicator. If you get a basic SL model, you also get heated cloth seats without having to upgrade to the leather pack.

Thanks for the info I pretty much knew I'd need winter tires!!!! Couldn't/wouldn't drive without them on the Echo.

On top of that, our Whitehorse Nissan dealer also installs an Oil Pan heater on all new cars sold.
