VC-Turbo Performance and Fuel Economy Specs
Every version of this crossover is powered by an advanced 1.5L variable-compression turbo, known as the VC-Turbo three-cylinder engine. This innovative powerplant is engineered to continuously adjust its compression ratio, optimizing both power delivery and fuel consumption on the fly. The engine produces 201 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque, providing responsive acceleration from a complete stop and plenty of passing power on the highway. This engine is paired with a smooth-shifting Xtronic CVT that helps maintain the engine’s sweet spot during various driving conditions.
The fuel economy figures for this lineup are highly competitive. Trims equipped with front-wheel drive, including the S, SV, Dark Armor, and SL, achieve an EPA-estimated 29 city / 36 hwy / 32 combined MPG. If you opt for the premium Platinum trim with standard all-wheel drive, the efficiency remains impressive at 28 city / 35 hwy / 31 combined MPG. Meanwhile, the trail-ready Rock Creek trim, which features standard all-wheel drive and more rugged all-terrain tires, is rated at 27 city / 32 hwy / 29 combined MPG.
To keep this sophisticated powertrain performing at its peak, regular maintenance is essential. You can easily schedule your service online to have our factory-trained technicians handle your oil changes, fluid checks, and overall system diagnostics. We use specialized diagnostic tools to ensure your engine’s variable-compression system remains in perfect working order.
Your driving safety also depends heavily on the condition of your rubber and keeping up with safety notices. If you notice uneven tread wear or reduced grip on wet roads, you can visit our dealership to shop for new tires from major brands approved by the manufacturer. Additionally, we make it easy for owners to stay informed by checking for vehicle recall information directly through our online portal.

Interior Technology and Cabin Versatility
Inside the cabin, the layout is designed to maximize passenger comfort and cargo flexibility. With comfortable seating for up to five passengers, the crossover offers generous headroom and legroom in both rows, making long road trips highly enjoyable. Behind the second-row seats, you will find roughly 36 cubic feet of cargo space, which can easily expand when you fold the rear seats flat to accommodate larger items. This makes the vehicle highly practical for everything from weekly grocery runs to packing up outdoor recreation gear.
The technology suite is equally impressive, keeping you connected and entertained on every drive. Standard models feature an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch driver information display, Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, and dual USB-C ports. It also includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Upgrading to the higher trims unlocks a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, a matching 12.3-inch digital dashboard, and a premium Bose audio system that delivers crystal-clear sound throughout the cabin.
Safety is a top priority, which is why every model comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360. This comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high-beam assist. These systems work in the background to provide peace of mind and help you navigate busy highways and tight parking spaces with confidence.
Ensuring your vehicle drives straight and handles predictably is another key aspect of long-term safety and tire life. Drivers can learn about tire alignment importance on our site to understand how proper geometry prevents premature tire wear. If you have questions about your vehicle’s handling or need to set up a multi-point inspection, you can contact our service team for expert guidance. Our online scheduler also makes it incredibly convenient to schedule your Nissan service at a time that fits your busy calendar.
