Nissan Launches 2026 Rogue Plug-In Hybrid for U.S., Its First PHEV

The seven-seat crossover borrows Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV hardware, delivers an EPA-rated 38 electric miles, and forgoes DC fast charging.

Overview

  • Public debut is set for the Los Angeles Auto Show, with U.S. sales slated for early 2026 in SL and Platinum trims; pricing has not been announced.
  • The model is effectively a lightly restyled Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV built on the alliance’s shared platform.
  • It pairs a 2.4-liter engine with two electric motors and a 20 kWh battery for 248 hp and standard all-wheel drive, adding a third row for seven seats with reduced cargo space versus the gas Rogue.
  • EPA estimates call for about 38 miles of electric range, roughly 420 miles total, 64 MPGe in EV operation, and 26 mpg on gasoline.
  • Charging is limited to AC Level 2 at about 7.5 hours to full, with no DC fast-charging capability included.
