Act fast if you’re in the market for a new Nissan Rogue Sport<\/a>. The city-friendly crossover<\/a> is months away from sailing into retirement, according to unnamed dealer<\/a> sources, and the Japanese company isn’t planning on launching a second-generation model in our market.<\/p>\n

Citing a memo that Nissan sent to its dealers, Automotive News<\/a><\/em> reported that Rogue Sport production will end in December 2022.<\/p>\n

“With the all-new Rogue and the recently redesigned Kicks, we will continue to cover this part of [the] market effectively,” Nissan vice president Scott Shirley wrote in the note. “We are also able to invest more resources in our current vehicles and next-generation products.”<\/p>\n

The news of the Rogue Sport’s demise doesn’t come as a surprise. Launched for 2017<\/a>, the crossover is essentially an Americanized version of the second-generation Qashqai that went on sale in many global markets in 2013; it’s a much older design than it might seem. While the Qashqai remains hugely popular in Europe, where it’s considered right-sized, it hasn’t been a hit in the United States, and the bigger Rogue outsells it by a wide margin. Specific figures are not available; Nissan lumps Rogue and Rogue Sport sales into one number<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nissan will invest the money it saves by canceling the Rogue Sport into better-selling cars like the Rogue<\/a>, the Kicks<\/a>\u00a0and the Pathfinder<\/a>. It renewed the Rogue and the Pathfinder in 2021 and 2022, respectively, and anonymous dealer sources revealed the firm has big updates planned for the Kicks. The second-generation model due out in 2024 will be longer, wider, “more SUV-like” and offered with all-wheel-drive.<\/p>\n

Rogue Sport production is scheduled to end in December 2022 but sales will continue into 2023 until inventory runs out. It’s a different story in Europe: the third-generation Qashqai<\/a> made its debut in early 2021 with a more muscular-looking design and a more upmarket cabin.<\/p>\n
