The Rogue may just be our most popular Nissan model, and one of the questions we get asked a lot about it is “Does the 2016 Nissan Rogue have third-row seating?” The answer is yes and no. To get the available third-row seating package in your new Rogue, you’ll have to choose your trim level carefully. We’ll break it down for you in this quick guide.

2016 Nissan Rogue S third-row seat
The base model Rogue S does not come with third-row seating as standard, but it is definitely available. You’ll have to specify the optional S Family Package. Now, this package adds about $1,190 to price of the vehicle, but it gives you a few things. In addition to the third-row split folding bench seat in the way back, you get rear privacy glass and a set of run-flat low-rolling-resistance tires. No more need to cruise around with a spare tire in the back!
2016 Nissan Rogue SV third-row seat
The midlevel Rogue SV trim does not come with third-row seating as standard, but it is available. Just specify the optional SV family package. Not only will you get the third-row split folding bench seat in the way back, but you’ll also get those run-flat low-rolling-resistance tires. And it’s only about $940. (The SV trim already has rear privacy glass, just for the good looks.)

2016 Nissan Rogue SL third-row seat
The top-of-the-line Rogue SL trim does not come with third-row seating as standard, nor can you add it as an option. This trim is a five-seater only. Now, just between you and us, we think it’s because Nissan didn’t want to fit those sweet 18-inch rims on the SL with run-flat tires. That means the SL has to travel with a spare wheel in the back, and that means no room for an extra row of seats. It’s just a small trade-off that buyers of the Rogue SL have to live with in order to get all of the luxury bells and whistles it offers.
