Nissan is expanding its electrified lineup with the debut of the 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid, the brand’s first PHEV for the U.S. market. The new model brings electric driving to everyday errands with an estimated 38 miles of EV range, while a hybrid powertrain pushes total range to an EPA-estimated 420 miles. The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid will make its first public appearance at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show, this week.
The Roque Plug-In Hybrid, might look a bit familiar since it looks nearly identical to the Mitsubishi Outlander, with the biggest updates being a new grille and updated taillights.
The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid will be offered in SL and Platinum trims when it arrives at dealerships in early 2026.
The 2026 Rogue Plug-in Hybrid has the same powertrain as the Mitsubishi, which pairs two electric motors with a 20-kWh lithium-ion battery and a 2.4-liter gasoline engine. Total output comes in at 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, giving it quicker acceleration than the standard Rogue. All-wheel drive is standard.
The 20-kWh battery can fully recharge in about 7.5 hours on a Level 2 home charger. The closest competitor, the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid has better specs than the Rogue PHEV, with its 50 miles of range and it can be charged from 10-80 percent using a DC Fast Charger, in only 30 minutes. The Rogue PHEV cannot be charged using a DC Fast Charger.
There are also two levels of regenerative braking enabled by moving the shifter from D to B, or enabling the e-Step one-pedal driving function.
Fuel economy comes in at 64 MPGe and 26 mpg combined in hybrid mode.
Inside, the Rogue Plug-in Hybrid features a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto is standard, along with a 12.3-inch digital driver display. The Platinum trim adds a 10-inch head-up display, a Bose nine-speaker audio system, and two 120-volt power outlets capable of running small appliances.
The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid has three rows, which means it can seat up to seven. The second row slides and reclines for easier access to the third row, and Platinum models include tri-zone climate control and second-row sunshades.
Behind the third row there’s 12.8 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to 30.8 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 64.7 cubic feet with both rear rows down.
