Does The Nissan Rogue Have AWD?

South Florida drivers want SUVs that can provide them with additional traction during inclement weather or on difficult terrain, and many shoppers who are considering the 2020 Nissan Rogue ask “Does the Nissan Rogue have AWD?” The short answer is: yes! The Nissan Rogue offers an Intelligent AWD system on each of its three trim levels that automatically senses a loss in traction and switches to an appropriate drive mode.

How Nissan Intelligent AWD Works

The Nissan Intelligent AWD system is a state-of-the-art drivetrain that distributes power to maximize traction and give drivers a safer South Miami commute. The Nissan Rogue begins in AWD to enhance grip until it reaches the desired speed. As the vehicle continues down Homestead roads, the Rogue conserves power and maintains efficiency by redirecting torque to the front wheels. If the Rogue detects uneven or slippery terrain, the AWD system will activitate and redistribute power to the appropriate wheels to maintain driver control. 

Nissan Rogue AWD Lock Button

The Nissan Rogue AWD Lock is a distinctive feature in the Nissan SUV lineup. The Nissan Rogue AWD Lock offers a low-speed regulator button that “locks” each wheel into AWD for better traction in snow or while off-road. The AWD Lock enables this by splitting power between the front and rear wheels for better controls in unsatisfactory conditions. The Nissan Rogue AWD Lock is turned on and off manually by the driver.

AWD Error on Nissan Rogue

The AWD error on the Nissan Rogue can indicate a range of issues, all of which will require a visit to a local Pinecrest Nissan service center. See what each Nissan Rogue AWD error light message means below:

• Illuminated Without Blinking: There’s a malfunction in the AWD system. Schedule time for service at a local service center.
  Blinking Rapidly: The powertrain oil temperature is rising exponentially out of range. Pull your vehicle over and put your car in park to idle your engine and allow it to cool down. If the blinking stops after a while, you can resume driving. If not, you should call a local service center. 
• Blinking Slowly: There’s a large difference between the diameters of the front and rear wheels. Pull your vehicle over and allow the car to idle in park. The blinking may stop after a while and you can resume driving. If it doesn’t, you should contact a local service center. 

Whenever the AWD error on the Nissan Rogue appears, it’s a good idea to schedule maintenance with a local Nissan dealer. Even if the light turned off, it’s worth having the system checked for any underlying issues.
