e-POWER makes the Rogue Hybrid feel like an EV that refuels at the pump. Two electric motors drive the wheels directly, while a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine works only as a generator and shuts off entirely when the battery has enough charge. There is no transmission, so 225 combined horsepower arrives in one smooth, uninterrupted surge. 

On a Saturday loop of Route 6 errands, the engine runs less often because speeds stay low, which helps explain why city efficiency leads the estimates: up to 41 MPG city, 36 highway, and 38 combined, based on Nissan internal testing.* Since the gas engine handles all the charging, you never plug in. 

Every trim also comes with dual-motor electric all-wheel drive, one motor on each axle. The system shifts torque front to rear and can lightly brake an inside wheel through a corner. When a nor'easter dusts the hills near the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust trails, the motors fine-tune power and regenerative braking to help you pull away smoothly on snow. 

e-Pedal lets you slow all the way to a full stop by easing off the accelerator, a class-exclusive feature. Paired with Smooth Stop, which softens brake pressure in the final moment to reduce head-toss, rush hour on Route 140 toward Taunton feels noticeably calmer. 

ProPILOT Assist comes standard on every Rogue Hybrid, with a new front camera and radar for smoother lane centering and following. Available Hands-off Traffic Jam Support and Auto Lane Change take it further, so slow highway miles take less effort from you. 

The interior feels a step up, with upgraded materials, Japanese-inspired design details, and physical controls for the functions you reach for most. Dual 12.3-inch displays with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, while available dual 14.3-inch displays add Google built-in for voice-guided navigation on a summer run to Cape Cod. 

A Qi2 wireless charging pad with a magnetic base and cooling fan keeps your phone steady, and the available panoramic moonroof opens the cabin to the sky on a clear coastal evening. Nissan cites more front headroom than any hybrid in its class, so taller passengers stay comfortable on the way to Horseneck Beach. Add the improved cabin storage for snacks, sunscreen, and beach towels, and the Rogue Hybrid settles into weekend life with ease.
