Nissan has previously added the safety technology to the 2019 Rogue, Rogue Sport, and Altima. The suite of advanced driver-assist systems is comprised of automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, adaptive headlights, and rear automatic braking. It will be offered on certain trim models. The 2019 Altima includes it on SV and above.
