Overview

• Automotive News-sourced reports say Nissan is in talks to supply a Rogue-based electrified crossover to Ford and Stellantis.
• Nissan’s spokesperson says the company is exploring options to expand local vehicle and powertrain production, with no agreements in place.
• The prospective vehicles would be built alongside the Rogue at Nissan’s Smyrna, Tennessee facility to bolster utilization.
• Nissan’s third‑generation e‑POWER system is slated for a late‑2026 U.S. debut, targeting about 15% better highway fuel economy than the current Rogue.
• Other possibilities reported include Mitsubishi using e‑POWER for the Outlander and Foxconn as a potential contract manufacturer, with any tie‑up not necessarily involving fully electric models.
