# Refreshed Family SUVs The New Nissan Rogue Makes Picking Up the Kids From School a Stylish Affair By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-09-14 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Rogue-family-SUV References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/nissan-rogue-hybrid-sentra-sr-turbo/45412/) & [nissannews](http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/presskits/us-2017-nissan-rogue-press-kit) The 2017 version of the [Nissan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-pathfinder-rock-creek) Rogue is a vehicle that continues to offer the space and versatile convenience of a family SUV, but adds a healthy dose of style and aesthetic appeal that will put other parents in the shade. This particular family SUV borrows from design elements introduced in recent [Nissan concept vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-xtrail-concepts), which is why it features a more aggressive looking grille as well as daytime running lights. The vehicle can either be procured in a [hybrid option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-subaru-forester-hybrid), which combines a lithium-ion battery and an electric motor, or a pure gasoline version that offers 170 horsepower. This refreshed family SUV also comes with a suite of driver assistance technologies including lane assist and blind spot warning, so you can be sure that your family is safe on the road. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stylish Family Suvs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create family SUVs that prioritize style and aesthetic appeal while maintaining the space and convenience for families. - **Hybrid Suvs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop hybrid SUVs that offer a combination of lithium-ion battery and electric motor for increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. - **Advanced Driver Assistance Technologies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Engineer family SUVs with advanced driver assistance technologies such as lane assist and blind spot warning for enhanced safety. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate within the automotive industry to create refreshed family SUVs that cater to the evolving needs and preferences of consumers. - **Electric Vehicle:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the electric vehicle industry and develop hybrid SUVs that provide an eco-friendly alternative for family transportation. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with technology companies to integrate advanced driver assistance technologies into family SUVs, offering a technologically advanced driving experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Next-Gen Safety SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-symbioz-hybrid-suv.md) - [Luxe Weekend Warrior SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-santa-fe.md) - [Hybrid Electric SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rav4.md) - [Adventure-Tuned SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-pathfinder-rock-creek.md) - [Luxury Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2021-range-rover-sport.md) - [Luxury Crossover SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rx.md) - [Child-Centric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childcentric-compact-luxury-suv.md) - [Muscular Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muscular-hybrid-suv.md) - [Tech-Packed Full-Sized SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-sequoia.md)
