2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid: What's New, What's Changing, and What Stays the Same

The 2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid is an all-new, redesigned SUV, and the headline is its powertrain: Nissan's e-POWER system, which drives the wheels with electric motors at all times while a small gas engine works only as a generator. The result is an SUV that drives like an EV, never needs plugging in, comes with standard all-wheel drive, and returns an estimated 38 mpg combined. If you have been considering a hybrid compact SUV, this guide covers exactly what is new on the Rogue Hybrid, how e-POWER works, and how to shop it today.

Update type | Full redesign (new generation)
Powertrain | e-POWER series hybrid: turbo 1.5L 3-cylinder generator plus two electric motors
Combined output | 225 horsepower
Drive | Standard all-wheel drive on every trim
Fuel economy | An estimated 40 city, 36 highway, and 38 combined mpg
Charging | None required; refuel at a regular gas pump
Seating | Five passengers
Starting price | $35,490 for the SV (plus $1,575 destination)

The Rogue Hybrid is the first Nissan in the United States to use e-POWER, a system Nissan has sold overseas for years. It is a series hybrid, which means the electric motors always drive the wheels and the gas engine never does. You get the smooth, immediate, quiet feel of an electric vehicle, but you refuel at a gas station in a couple of minutes, with no charging cable and no range anxiety.

Every 2027 Rogue Hybrid comes with all-wheel drive, courtesy of a second electric motor on the rear axle. For Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa winters, standard all-wheel traction on a hybrid at this price is a real draw.

Inside, the Rogue Hybrid adds a new 14.3-inch multimedia display, and the conventional gear shifter is replaced by a simple P-R-N-D button selector that frees up console space. Available ventilated front seats are a first for the Rogue, and heated seats, remote start, proximity lock and unlock, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear vents, and wireless phone charging are standard on every trim.

The improved ProPILOT Assist now allows automatic lane changes and hands-off assistance in slow, stop-and-go traffic, which takes some of the strain out of highway commutes on I-80 or I-88. The system also includes e-Pedal Step, which lets you speed up and slow down largely with the accelerator pedal in many situations.

e-POWER flips the usual hybrid setup. In most hybrids, the gas engine can power the wheels directly. In e-POWER, it cannot. The turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine acts purely as a generator, feeding a small 1.67-kWh battery that powers a 202-horsepower front motor and a 134-horsepower rear motor for 225 combined horsepower and standard all-wheel drive. Because the battery is small and the engine recharges it on the fly, you never plug in. The payoff is EV-like smoothness and quiet with the convenience of a gas tank.

This is the headline change. The 2027 Rogue Hybrid is an all-new generation, not a refresh, and it replaces the third-generation Rogue sold from 2021 through 2026. It also replaces the previous plug-in Rogue hybrid, which was a plug-in model based on a Mitsubishi; the new e-POWER Rogue does not plug in at all.

Rogue Hybrid pricing (MSRP, before the $1,575 destination charge) runs as follows, with every trim all-wheel drive:
SV | $35,490
SV with Premium Package | $37,590
SR | $37,490
SR with Technology Package | $41,490
Platinum | $43,490
The SR with Technology Package is the first version to reach dealers, with the rest of the lineup following in early 2027. Pricing does not include taxes, title, license, or dealer fees; ask for current numbers on a specific vehicle.

The redesigned Rogue Hybrid is a few hundred pounds heavier than the outgoing model, and it gives up a little rear legroom and cargo space compared with the previous generation. For most buyers, the fuel savings, the standard all-wheel drive, and the EV-like driving feel are a worthwhile trade, but it is worth a look in person if maximum rear-seat room is your priority.

The Rogue remains a five-seat compact SUV and one of Nissan's best sellers. It keeps the family-friendly mission that made it popular: a comfortable ride, a roomy and practical cabin, and a strong roster of standard safety technology. Nissan's warranty coverage continues at 3 years or 36,000 miles basic and 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain, with additional coverage on the e-POWER hybrid components.

The Rogue and the Kicks are both Nissan SUVs, but they sit in different sizes. The Kicks is the smaller, lower-priced subcompact, a strong fit for a first SUV or a tight budget. The Rogue is a size up, with more rear-seat and cargo room, more power, and, in this case, the e-POWER hybrid system with standard all-wheel drive. If you want efficiency and space in a compact SUV, the Rogue Hybrid is the pick; if you want the lowest price, look at the Kicks.

Go with the 2027 Rogue Hybrid if you want the newest design, the e-POWER system, standard all-wheel drive, and the fuel savings that come with an estimated 38 mpg combined. A leftover previous-generation Rogue can make sense if a discount outweighs the redesign. Either way, we will work through the numbers with you, with no pressure.

No. e-POWER is a self-charging hybrid, so the gas engine recharges the battery as you drive. You refuel at a regular gas pump, never a charger.

It starts at $35,490 for the SV (plus a $1,575 destination charge), and climbs to $43,490 for the top Platinum trim.

An estimated 40 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 38 mpg combined. These are preliminary figures until EPA certification is final.

Yes. All-wheel drive is standard on every trim, powered by a dedicated rear electric motor.
