The 2008 Nissan Rogue comes equipped with a 2.5L QR25DE inline-4 engine, producing 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated engine features dual overhead cams, variable valve timing, and aluminum construction. It’s paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or Nissan’s Xtronic CVT automatic transmission. The engine is known for decent fuel economy, achieving approximately 22 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. This powerplant provides adequate performance for daily driving and light hauling duties, though it can feel underpowered when fully loaded or during highway merging situations.

The 2008 Nissan Rogue shares most parts with the 2008-2013 model years, as these represent the first generation.

The 2008 Nissan Rogue actually uses a 2.5L QR25DE engine, not a 2.4L. This engine is moderately reliable when properly maintained, with most issues arising from neglected maintenance. The timing chain can stretch if oil changes are delayed, so using quality oil and changing it every 5,000 miles is crucial. The engine is generally good for 200,000+ miles with proper care. Common maintenance items include regular oil changes, air filter replacement every 15,000 miles, and spark plugs every 100,000 miles. Watch for timing chain rattle on cold starts and address it promptly to avoid expensive internal damage.
