Nissan’s 2026 Rogue Plug-In Hybrid Is a Rebadged Outlander, First Drives Confirm

Nissan uses a quick rebadge to add a plug-in model, with pricing still undisclosed.

Overview

  • First-drive reviews find the Rogue PHEV closely mirrors Mitsubishi’s Outlander PHEV in platform, powertrain and interior.
  • The setup combines a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with two electric motors and a roughly 20-kWh battery, yielding about 38 miles (61 km) of electric range and 248 hp.
  • An optional third row is offered, and early drives note available all-wheel drive and two 1,500-watt household-power outlets.
  • Charging is limited to AC Level 2 with no DC fast charging, taking roughly 7.5 hours for a full charge on a home unit.
  • Dealer arrivals are planned for early 2026, and reviewers say competitiveness will hinge on where Nissan prices it relative to the Outlander PHEV.
