Only 5,400 units were produced—5,000 for the US and 400 for Canada—making it a rare and sought-after collector’s item.
Distinctive Star Wars Design Elements
The Star Wars Nissan Rogue stood out with its unique badging, interior and exterior trim, and a full-size Death Trooper helmet replica included with each purchase. Based on the 2017 Nissan Rogue SV with the Sun and Sound Touring Package, this limited edition model came in Magnetic Black or Glacier White exterior colors with a charcoal interior.
Exterior Features Fit for a Rebel
The exterior featured black accents on the grille, rear door finisher, roof rails, and door handles. Decals representing the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire adorned the D-pillars, while a clear rear bumper protector showcased the Star Wars logo. Special “Rogue One” badging on the front doors further distinguished this limited edition Rogue.
Interior Touches from a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Inside, Star Wars themed floor mats and illuminated kick plates greeted passengers. Cupholder inserts and interior accent lighting featured Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire logos, immersing occupants in the Star Wars atmosphere.
Performance and Technology of a Standard Rogue
Under the hood, the Star Wars Nissan Rogue boasted the same 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine as the standard 2017 Rogue, producing 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. It was equipped with the next-generation Xtronic transmission with Sport and Eco Mode switches. Standard safety features included Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
