Nissan has launched the 2027 Rogue Hybrid in the US, featuring its e-Power series hybrid system. Unlike parallel hybrids, the engine acts solely as a generator to charge the battery, which powers electric motors. The system includes a 1.5L turbocharged engine generating 148 hp and a 1.67 kWh battery.
Front and rear electric motors deliver 202 hp and 134 hp respectively, with a combined output of 225 hp. The Rogue Hybrid offers immediate throttle response and one-pedal driving, mimicking EV performance. Nissan has sold over 1.4 million e-Power vehicles in Japan, but the US version has been retuned for local conditions.
The car accelerates to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds and provides quiet highway cruising.
