Nissan Rogue MPG, gas tank, tires, and towing
The 2025 Nissan Rogue gets 33 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 31 mpg with all-wheel drive, according to the EPA. That comes from the 1.5-liter turbo three-cylinder Nissan has used since 2022. With a 14.5-gallon tank, a front-drive 2025 Rogue can go roughly 480 miles on a full tank. Older Rogues with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder are rated lower: 27 to 29 mpg combined for 2016–2020.

EPA estimates for new vehicles from fueleconomy.gov (U.S. EPA and U.S. DOE), data retrieved November 12, 2026. Your mileage will vary with how and where you drive. EPA data on this site starts with the 2010 model year.
Gas tank size and range
Range is the tank size times the EPA combined rating, so treat it as a ceiling. You won’t run the tank dry, and city driving or winter cuts it. To plan a trip with your own numbers, use the trip gas cost calculator.
| Years | Engine | Fuel tank | EPA combined | Range on a full tank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022–2026 | 1.5L turbo 3-cylinder (VC-Turbo, KR15DDT) | 14.5 gal11 | 29–33 mpg | about 420–480 miles |
| 2021 | 2.5L 4-cylinder (PR25DD) | 14.5 gal10 | 28–30 mpg | about 410–440 miles |
| 2014–2015 | 2.5L 4-cylinder (QR25DE) | 14.5 gal5 | 27–28 mpg | about 390–410 miles |
| 2016–2020 | 2.5L 4-cylinder (QR25DE) | 14.5 gal7 | 27–29 mpg | about 390–420 miles |
| 2017–2019 | 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid | 14.5 gal9 | 33–34 mpg | about 480–490 miles |
| 2008–2013 | 2.5L 4-cylinder (QR25DE) | 15.875 gal1 | 23–25 mpg | about 370–400 miles |
Tire size and pressure
Second-generation Rogues on gas power use 33 psi cold, front and rear. The 2017–2019 Rogue Hybrid is different: Nissan lists 41 psi for it. For 2021 and later, the owner’s manual points you to the tire and loading information label on the driver’s door jamb, so check that label for your trim. If the warning light comes on, see tire pressure light.
| Years | Trim | Tire size | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014–2020 | 17-inch wheels (gas models) | 225/65R177 | 33 psi | 33 psi |

Oil at a glance
Every Rogue since 2014 takes 0W-20; the first generation used 5W-30. Capacity changed with each engine. The Rogue oil page has every year, the oil spec, and how often to change it.
| Years | Engine | Oil | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022–2026 | 1.5L turbo 3-cylinder (VC-Turbo, KR15DDT) | 0W-2011 | 5 qt (4.7 L) with filter |
| 2021 | 2.5L 4-cylinder (PR25DD) | 0W-2010 | 5.375 qt (5.1 L) with filter |
| 2014–2015 | 2.5L 4-cylinder (QR25DE) | 0W-205 | Check your owner’s manual |
| 2016–2020 | 2.5L 4-cylinder (QR25DE) | 0W-207 | 4.875 qt (4.6 L) with filter |
| 2017–2019 | 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid | 0W-209 | 4 qt (3.8 L) with filter |
| 2008–2013 | 2.5L 4-cylinder (QR25DE) | 5W-301 | 4.875 qt (4.6 L) with filter |
Towing capacity
The Rogue is a light-duty tower. The third generation is rated up to 1,500 lb in the 2021 and 2023 manuals; the second generation is rated lower, at 1,100 lb. For the first generation, the 2008 manual allows 1,500 lb with a CVT that has a manual shift mode and 1,000 lb without it. Towing counts as severe service for the CVT; see the maintenance schedule.
- 3rd generation, 1.5L VC-Turbo (2022–2026): up to 1,500 lb11
- 3rd generation, 2.5L (2021): up to 1,500 lb10
- 2nd generation (2014–2020): up to 1,100 lb6
- 1st generation (2008–2013): up to 1,500 lb1
Recalls: check by VIN
Recalls depend on the exact vehicle, not just the year. Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see open recalls on your Rogue. The VIN is on the lower corner of the windshield on the driver’s side and on your registration. A Nissan dealer does recall repairs for free.
What to record in your log
A Rogue’s real mileage depends a lot on the CVT, the tires, and how you drive. Keep a few numbers and you’ll know your own MPG and when service is due:
- Each fill-up: date, odometer, and gallons. Two full fill-ups in a row give your real MPG; the MPG calculator does the math.
- Each oil change: date, odometer, oil grade, and whether the filter was changed.
- CVT fluid inspections and any fluid change, with the fluid name (NS-2 or NS-3).
- Tire pressure checks and rotations.
A car maintenance log keeps this in one place.
