It seems that Nissan believes that the factory-prepped Cube Krom revealed earlier this year was successful enough to justify the presentation of a similar special edition version of its Rogue crossover. Set to go on sale at Nissan’s U.S. dealers in December 2009, the Rogue Krom features several cosmetic upgrades including a unique grille treatment and a new front bumper with a side air-inlets, 17-inch brilliant finish alloy wheels with P225/60R Continental Conti 4×4 Contact tires and a restyled rear bumper with integrated center-exit twin tail pipes.

The body-colored rear spoiler and exterior mirrors, tinted windows and Krom emblems plus steering wheel-mounted audio controls complete the equipment modifications on the special edition Rogue which is based on the ‘S’ trim model.

“The new Krom edition expands Rogue’s already strong appeal, bringing its unmistakable sporty and active design to buyers seeking to stand out from the crowd of ordinary compact SUVs,” said Pat Steiner, director, Specialty Vehicles Group, Nissan North America. “Just as our NISMO models add enhanced performance straight from the factory, the Krom lineup offers intriguing, customized design right off the showroom floor,” he added.

Nissan has yet to disclose pricing on the 2010 Rogue Krom Edition.
