Pack Like a Pro: How Much Can You Fit in a Nissan Rogue?

Cargo Space That Works for You

The Nissan Rogue offers a spacious interior designed for both passengers and cargo. With the rear seats up, you get 36.5 cubic feet of cargo space—enough for multiple suitcases, camping gear, or sports equipment. Need more room? Fold down the second-row seats to expand your cargo capacity to a whopping 74.1 cubic feet! That’s enough to fit:

A full set of golf clubs, plus weekend luggage for four

Camping gear, including a tent, cooler, and chairs

A full-size stroller, diaper bags, and travel essentials for families

Several large storage bins for a big move or home project

Why the Rogue Works So Well

Packing Tips for Your Road Trip

1. Use the Divide-N-Hide Storage System

One of the Rogue’s best features is the Divide-N-Hide cargo system, allowing you to create compartments and store items more securely. Use the lower compartments for valuables, emergency kits, or shoes, and keep everyday essentials easily accessible on top.

2. Pack in Soft Bags Instead of Hard Suitcases

Duffel bags and soft-sided luggage take up less space than rigid suitcases. They can be stacked, squeezed into tight corners, and shifted around as needed.

3. Roll, Don’t Fold

Rolling your clothes instead of folding them saves space and prevents wrinkles. Bonus: This makes it easier to pack a carry-on bag if you’re planning stops along the way.

4. Maximize Under-Seat and Door Storage

The Nissan Rogue has plenty of small storage compartments in the doors and under seats. Use these spaces for smaller essentials like snacks, chargers, and first-aid kits.

5. Keep Heavy Items Low and Balanced

For a smooth and stable ride, place heavier items (coolers, large suitcases) low and towards the center of the vehicle. This helps maintain balance and improves fuel efficiency.

6. Use Packing Cubes for Organization

If you’re traveling with family or a group, packing cubes can help keep everyone’s belongings organized. Assign a different color cube to each person to make finding items a breeze.
