Updated 2011 Nissan Rogue debuts this weekend

The 2011 Nissan Rogue will debut Saturday at the 23rd International Z Car Convention in Nashville, Tenn.

The Rogue is updated inside and out. New touches include front fascia and grille, new front and rear spoilers and different side-door molding accents. It also gets tire deflectors and a chrome license plate finisher.

It's topped off with a new Krom package for the Rogue S. That gets 18-inch alloys, and a new under-body cover.

For power, Nissan sticks with its 2.5-liter, 170-hp four cylinder and a continuously variable transmission.

Fuel mileage has been slightly increased for 2010. The front-wheel drive models will get an extra mpg on the highway and the all-wheel-drive gets one more in the city.

The Rogue will be available at dealers August 13.
