Nissan Rebadges Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV as 2026 Rogue Plug-In Hybrid

The move gives Nissan a near-term entry into a hybrid-heavy compact crossover market.

Overview

  • The new Rogue Plug-In Hybrid shares the Outlander PHEV’s hardware, pairing a 2.4-liter engine with dual electric motors and a 20‑kWh battery for about 248 hp and 332 lb‑ft.
  • EPA estimates peg all‑electric range at 38 miles with standard all‑wheel drive, while gasoline operation is rated at 26 mpg and 64 MPGe combined.
  • Nissan will offer SL and Platinum trims, with the Platinum adding a head‑up display, panoramic sunroof, leather, Bose audio, and household-style power outlets.
  • DC fast charging is omitted; Level 2 AC charging is limited to roughly 3.5 kW, taking about 6.5 to 7.5 hours for a full charge.
  • A third row is included, pricing will be announced closer to launch, and sales begin early next year with the Outlander-based PHEV built in Japan and the standard Rogue continuing from Tennessee.
