Nissan will offer a forward collision avoidance system with its 2016 Rogue compact SUV, among other updates to a vehicle that entered its second generation with the 2014 model year.
Nissan will offer its Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) system with the Rogue SL Premium Package. The system uses radar to monitor speed and proximity to the vehicle ahead and applies engine braking to avoid a potential collision. The system is also available on the Maxima. Rogue trim levels remain unchanged with the S, SV, and SL in front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Other new features for the 2016 Rogue include a motion-activated power liftgate (SL), NissanConnect Services with Sirius XM (SL), blind-spot alerting updated to radar-based from camera-based, and Siri Eyes Free with new telematics services (SV Premium Package and SL).
The Rogue is powered by a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 170 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of torque delivered through the Xtronic continuously variable transmission.
In a related announcement, Nissan said it will begin building the Rogue at its plant in Kyushu, Japan, to complement existing production in Nashville, Tenn., and Busan, Korea. Nissan plans to build 100,000 Rogue SUVs in Japan per year. During the first six months of 2015, Nissan sold 135,000 units for a 36.3-percent increase over the same period in 2014.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
