Nissan Rogues tend to have above-average reliability, though an extended warranty can offer extra protection against unexpected repairs as the vehicle ages. We’ll break down what a Nissan Rogue warranty covers, what your options are, how much it costs and whether a warranty is worth it in the long run.
All new Nissan Rogues come with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Jump to insightNissan Rogue extended warranty coverage options
For context, Nissan Rogues come with the following warranties from the factory:
- A 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty
- A 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty
Factory warranties follow the vehicle, not the owner. So if you buy a 2-year-old Rogue with 20,000 miles on it, you’ll still have one year or 16,000 miles worth of factory bumper-to-bumper warranty remaining. If you want to extend your factory coverage, you can purchase an extended warranty. For a Nissan Rogue, you’ll have two options:
- Buy the official Nissan extended warranty called Nissan Security+Plus
- Buy a plan from a third-party extended warranty company
Nissan Security+Plus plans
Nissan’s Security+Plus plans offer up to eight years or 120,000 miles of total coverage. You can choose from three plan levels:
- Powertrain Preferred: The lowest-tier plan covers repairs for the mechanical breakdown of more than 950 parts.
- Silver Preferred: This plan covers everything in the powertrain plan, plus additional components, including some related to infotainment, advanced driver assistance systems, and the body and interior. It covers more than 1,640 parts.
- Gold Preferred: Nissan’s most comprehensive program covers more than 2,320 parts, including 300 electrical components, nearly 430 parts related to the engine and more than 290 body and interior components.
Third-party extended warranty plans
You can typically choose from more plan options or customize plans with a third-party extended warranty. These plans also generally let you take your vehicle to any mechanic with Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification.
What does a Nissan Rogue extended warranty cover?
Auto warranties only pay for repairs and replacements of parts that are specifically covered and fail due to manufacturing defects. They don't cover damage from accidents, aftermarket modifications or improper maintenance.
You’ll usually get the most value by purchasing whichever plan offers comprehensive, exclusionary protection, also known as a bumper-to-bumper plan. These plans cover 90% or more of the parts on your vehicle. Less comprehensive plans, such as powertrain plans, are cheaper, but they tend to cover fewer parts per dollar.
Warranty type
Here are the differences between what a bumper-to-bumper warranty and powertrain warranty cover:
Bumper-to-bumper warranty

- Differential assembly

How much does a Nissan Rogue extended warranty cost?
Get quotes from multiple providers to be sure you're getting a good deal.
A Nissan Rogue extended warranty from a third-party extended auto warranty provider typically costs around $1,000 to $1,500 per year for three years of bumper-to-bumper coverage. Quotes for extended auto warranties vary based on the coverage you choose, the vehicle’s make and model, the deductible amount, your location and other factors.
For context, the average cost of an extended warranty is around $1,000 per year of coverage. Powertrain plans are typically cheaper than bumper-to-bumper plans, but they also cover fewer parts. If you want to feel more secure that you're covered for any given repair, it's worth going for a more expensive comprehensive plan.
