What is the “Coolest Thing Made in Tennessee” Award?

The debut “Coolest Thing Made in Tennessee” contest saw over 100 nominations, depicting the state’s varied manufacturing segment. To that end, the Rogue emerged triumphant after three highly contested voting rounds, amassing over 75,000 votes from Tennessee residents. The accolade was presented during a luncheon at the Smart Solutions for Smart Factories Expo convened at The Commons at PIE Innovation Center in Cleveland, Tennessee. The occasion underscored Tennessee’s manufacturing industry and commemorated finalists.

“This recognition means a lot to everyone at the Decherd plant where we build the Rogue’s 201-horsepower VC-Turbo engine, the world’s first variable compression ratio engine. Our employees take immense pride in what they do, and it’s wonderful to see their dedication and talent celebrated.”

Regarding the 2024 Nissan Rogue

It is worth noting that the Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover SUV and currently Nissan’s top-selling vehicle in the United States. In the 2024 model year, the automobile underwent a refresh, making it the first model in the brand’s lineup to boast Google built-in features such as Google Maps and Google Assistant. Moreover, the touchscreen display unit on the upper-tier SL and Platinum trims experienced a streamlined makeover that increased its size to 12.3 inches. 

The Rogue also possesses a vast suite of safety features, among which is Safety Shield 360. It is a prevalent driver assistance attribute that is now standard across all trims. Not only that, other technological amenities include Intelligent Cruise Control on highways and ProPILOT Assist for steady steering maneuverability. The upcoming 2025 model will introduce an all-new Rock Creek edition, an Invisible Hood View, and ProPILOT Assist 2.1.

For context, Nissan’s Smyrna plant assembles models such as Murano, Infiniti QX60, Pathfinder, Leaf, and Rogue. Of note, it is Nissan’s largest manufacturing site in the United States, with an investment of $7.1 billion and over 5,700 employees building up to 500,000 automobiles annually.
