NISSAN CANADA - The Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) announced that the all-new Nissan Rogue has been named "Best Mid‑Size Utility Vehicle for 2021.” The announcement was made on Zone AUTO, a special TV show presented by the Montreal International Auto Show that aired on TVA.
"We are honoured to accept this award from AJAC,” said Steve Milette, president of Nissan Canada Inc. "The all-new Nissan Rogue rose above the pack in a popular segment where the competition is fierce. This new generation of the Rogue meets consumers’ needs with its bold all‑new design, upscale interior, exceptional driving dynamics and an array of cutting‑edge safety technologies fitted as standard.”
Over 100 automotive journalists from all over the country comprise AJAC, and they put the industry’s latest offerings to the test to assess their on‑road capabilities in a range of contexts and conditions. Each eligible vehicle was rigorously evaluated on a variety of criteria, including road handling, technology, safety and convenience.
"The Rogue leads our Canadian lineup. It has been Nissan’s best‑selling vehicle in Canada consecutively since 2012, and this award is a great achievement for our brand,” said Milette.
"The Rogue has been evaluated by journalists who apply their extensive knowledge and expertise in order to help consumers make the smartest choice. This accolade from AJAC indicates that Nissan’s business transformation plan known as Nissan NEXT is gaining more traction. We are thankful to the numerous AJAC journalists for their time to test Rogue, and thrilled to share this award with our dealer partners and customers.”
The Nissan Rogue is now a finalist for "2021 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year". The winner will be announced by AJAC in March.
