Nissan has released the 2027 Rogue Hybrid in the U.S., its first vehicle to use the e-POWER hybrid system. The first all-wheel-drive SR models reach dealers this fall, with the full SV, SR and Platinum lineup following in early 2027.
Why it matters
For households shopping for a family SUV, the Rogue Hybrid offers an electric-driven option with estimated fuel economy of 38 mpg combined at a starting price of $35,490 before destination. Because the gasoline engine only generates electricity and never drives the wheels, buyers get an electric driving feel with no plug-in charging required.
The 2027 Rogue Hybrid starts at $35,490 before a $1,575 destination charge, with Nissan estimating 41 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and 38 mpg combined. Two electric motors deliver a combined 225 horsepower, and dual-motor all-wheel drive comes standard on every Rogue Hybrid.
The players
Nissan
Japanese automaker whose Rogue compact SUV is one of its best-selling U.S. models, now offered in a hybrid version.
The details
The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine functions only as a generator, sending power to two electric motors that handle all propulsion, so the vehicle is driven entirely by electricity. Nissan reshaped the mirrors for better aerodynamics, added acoustic-laminated glass and improved door sealing to keep the cabin quiet. Every trim includes a 15-watt Qi2 magnetic wireless charger, and the rear doors open to nearly 90 degrees.
Timeline
This fall: The first all-wheel-drive SR models with the SR Technology Package reach dealers.
Early 2027: The full SV, SR and Platinum trim lineup follows.
The Home Front
The Rogue Hybrid extends Nissan's e-POWER series hybrid design, in which the gasoline engine only generates electricity, into the U.S. market for the first time. It places a hybrid option inside a compact SUV segment where buyers have long weighed fuel economy against plug-in convenience.
If you are considering a family SUV, compare the Rogue Hybrid's estimated 38 mpg combined rating against your typical weekly driving before choosing a trim. Ask a dealer when your preferred trim will arrive, since the all-wheel-drive SR models come first this fall.
The takeaway
The Rogue Hybrid shows that a gas-powered SUV can be driven entirely by electric motors without any charging cable. When comparing hybrid trims, check whether the SR Technology Package with its 14.3-inch display is worth the upgrade for your household.
What happens next
The first all-wheel-drive SR models with the SR Technology Package reach dealers this fall, and the full SV, SR and Platinum lineup follows in early 2027.
