Nissan launches the Rouge Krom Edition compact SUV

The special Krom edition will feature a revised look for the front and the rear, exclusive 17-inch wheels, and a centrally-mounted sports exhaust. Other additions include body-coloured exterior accents, rear privacy glass, and 'Krom' badging.

According to Nissan's North American director of the Specialty Vehicles Group, Pat Steiner, "The new Krom edition expands Rogue's already strong appeal, bringing its unmistakable sporty and active design to buyers seeking to stand out from the crowd of ordinary compact SUVs. Just as our NISMO models add enhanced performance straight from the factory, the Krom lineup offers intriguing, customized design right off the showroom floor."

The engine will remain unchanged from the standard Rouge, with a 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine producing 170bhp powering the compact SUV. Mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Rouge Krom will be offered with
front- or all-wheel drive.
