Some interesting Vehicles and take a look at the Rogue Sport Press Kit (Tech Details) - Dave :)
Calendar year 2018 has finally arrived complete with updates on nearly all the changes for the new US model year, Trucks, SUV's, Cars, Sports Models etc..... The big changes are the all-new second-generation LEAF, the all-new Nissan Kicks and some exciting new technologies in support of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, a global initiative that focuses on how Nissan vehicles are driven, powered and integrated into society.

Rogue Sport Press Kit :
http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/ ... -press-kit

The Nissan Rogue Sport, which joined the Nissan crossover and SUV lineup near the end of the 2017 model year, enters 2018 with just a few refinements to its optional package naming and content. The new SV Technology Package (previously named the SV Premium Package) now includes the contents of the previous SV All-Weather Package, including Quick Comfort® heated driver's and front passenger seats, Remote Engine Start System with Intelligent Climate Control, heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, fog lights, leather-wrapped shift knob and heated outside mirrors.
The SL Premium Package now includes the content of the previous SL Platinum Package – including Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI), and Automatic Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection. Again in 2018, Rogue Sport shares many of the design, utility and technology attributes that have made Rogue Nissan's best-selling vehicle in the United States. Rogue Sport is slightly smaller, sportier and more affordable for younger, urban SUV buyers than Rogue. These buyers are looking for much more space than a compact sedan, while still seeking the maneuverability and fun-to-drive feel that Rogue Sport delivers.
The 2018 Rogue Sport is offered in front-wheel and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive configurations, and in three well-equipped grade levels – S, SV and SL. Rogue Sport is assembled in Kyushu, Japan.

Does that mean the the US doesn't get the same facelifted / updated version as Europe / the UK then?

Tophat57, from what I know the QQ was a European Design not originally planned for the US Market as they had their own Rogue 5 & 7 Seater Models (similar to our X-Trail). Then the Rogue 5 Seater sales started to go down hill and it was decided that the QQ should be introduced into the US Market called the Rogue Sport to replace the 5 Seater Rogue. This happened in 2017 so it is most probably a bit early to bring in the „Facelift“ Model we have at present. The US Model s being built in Japan with a 2 Litre engine and the usual „Loaded“ extras available in the US - Dave :)
