Nissan has introduced its first plug-in hybrid in the USA. It is essentially a Mitsubishi Outlander, branded with a Nissan badge and minimal visual changes.

The hybrid setup of the new Rogue PHEV includes two electric motors and a 2.4-liter gasoline engine, providing a total output of 248 horsepower and all-wheel drive. The vehicle can travel up to 61 kilometers solely on electricity thanks to a 20 kWh battery.

Externally, the model features a signature grille, badges, and some distinct trim details, but otherwise it completely replicates the Outlander, including 20-inch wheels and black accents of the Black Edition version.

Inside, the Rogue Plug-in Hybrid is equipped with a three-row configuration for seven seats, as well as a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and a 9-inch central screen. The base package includes LED headlights, heated front seats, four USB ports, and a full set of electronic assistants, while the top version, Platinum, is supplemented with a leather interior, Bose audio system, and a panoramic roof.

The cost of the novelty has not yet been disclosed, but it will probably be similar to the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which starts at $40,445. Sales of the Rogue Plug-in Hybrid will begin in early 2026.

The public presentation of the Nissan Rogue PHEV will take place at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 21.
