Nissan Confirms 2026 Rogue PHEV for Canada as Rebadged Outlander Twin

Nissan says the Outlander-based model is a fast-to-market stopgap pending an e‑Power Rogue next year.

Overview

  • The Canadian-market Rogue PHEV will be built in Japan and reach dealerships in early 2026 in a single Platinum trim with all-wheel drive and three rows.
  • It mirrors the Outlander PHEV’s setup with a 2.4‑litre engine, two electric motors and a 20‑kWh battery for 248 hp, 332 lb‑ft, about 61 km electric range and up to 687 km total range.
  • Charging is limited to Level 2, with a full charge in roughly 7.5 hours and no DC fast‑charging capability.
  • Nissan executive Ponz Pandikuthira acknowledged limited differentiation from the Mitsubishi, citing speed to market to fill a hybrid gap.
  • Pricing has not been announced, with expectations of a premium over gas versions and comparisons pointing to the Outlander PHEV’s $48,698 CAD starting price; the third row is best suited for children.
