WHY COLORADO DRIVERS LOVE THE FRONTIER, XTERRA, & ROGUE IN SNOWY DRIVING CONDITIONS

Colorado is known for its varying driving conditions, and during the winter months, the roads can become a real challenge. That means that Colorado Springs drivers are looking for a vehicle that can truly handle any road conditions, whether it is a paved or gravel road or even one covered in snow and ice. Nissan works hard to create vehicles that will get the job done for these drivers, including the Frontier, Xterra, and Rogue.

GETTING TO KNOW THE NISSAN FRONTIER, XTERRA AND ROGUE

While the Frontier, Xterra, and Rogue all give Colorado drivers the confidence they need to drive on snowy roads or in the middle of a blizzard, the three vehicles are fairly different. The Frontier is a midsize pickup truck, while the Rogue and Xterra are both considered crossover SUVs. You can pick from various cabin sizes for the Frontier, meaning that any of these three vehicles can comfortably fit five passengers, with the possibility to configure the Rogue to seat seven.

NISSAN SAFETY FEATURES MAKE DRIVING IN ANY WEATHER CONDITION EASIER

Part of the reason that Colorado drivers love these three vehicles in particular for snowy driving conditions is their incredible safety features. Nissan has always led the pack in terms of safety and innovation, and the Frontier, Xterra, and Rogue are no exception to this rule. With forward collision warning, blind spot warning, and lane departure warnings, drivers can relax knowing that there is an extra set of checks in place to help prevent them from collisions, even in snowy weather with poor visibility. When you throw in the Around View Monitor in the Rogue and combine it with moving object detection, you have even more confidence that no moving object on the road will escape your notice.

INTELLIGENT AWD PLUS ACTIVE ENGINE BRAKING, ACTIVE TRACE CONTROL, AND ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL

Perhaps one of the most important factors for drivers when it comes to the Nissan Rogue is its intelligent AWD. This system is advanced enough to tell if you are cornering or simply cruising and will even detect when you lose traction from a specific wheel, automatically redirecting the torque to keep you safe. This intelligent all-wheel drive system means that even if the roads are slippery, Rogue drivers are much less likely to slip and slide, especially when you throw in the Active Engine Braking, Active Trace Control, and Active Ride Control.

OFF-ROAD ABILITIES AND FEATURES

The intelligent AWD also makes the Rogue a great option for traveling off road or in tough conditions. In addition to the AWD in the Frontier and Xterra, they also offer other features for off-roading to give you more confidence. Even if these features are advertised as off-roading ones, they also improve security and stability while driving in snowy or icy conditions with increased traction.

Hill Start Assist gives drivers peace of mind when driving a Frontier or Xterra on a hill, even if there is snow on the ground. With Hill Descent Control, you don't have to worry about slipping and sliding your way downhill, as the system will make it easy to go down steep grades or slippery hills of a normal grade. Both the Frontier and the Xterra also feature an electronic locking rear differential for additional confidence by giving equal power to the rear wheels, improving your vehicle's traction.

AND LET'S NOT FORGET INTERIOR COMFORT… STAY WARM AND COZY

While the performance and safety features of the Frontier, Xterra, and Rogue are enough to make them appealing to most Colorado drivers in search of a vehicle for snowy conditions, the interior comfort means they are even more attractive for this purpose. Since every single one of these vehicles offers heating, comfortable seats, and technology to keep you connected, you will be safe and warm, even if the worst happens and you get stranded in the middle of a blizzard. Best of all, their large interior size means that you can stay comfortable, even with four passengers and emergency winter supplies.
