Release date: Nissan says the Rogue Hybrid SR AWD with Technology Package reaches dealers in fall 2026, with the rest of the hybrid lineup in early 2027. Redesign: no new generation; the gas Rogue carries over from the third generation that launched for 2021, and the e-POWER Rogue Hybrid is the new addition.
When Is the 2027 Nissan Rogue Release Date?
Nissan’s 2027 Rogue Hybrid press kit of September 21, 2026 gives a staged schedule. The Rogue Hybrid SR AWD with the Technology Package reaches dealers in fall 2026, and the SV, SR and Platinum grades follow in early 2027. Nissan builds the hybrid at Nissan Motor Kyushu in Japan. Pricing starts at $35,490 for the SV AWD, plus $1,575 destination. The gas-powered 2027 Rogue starts at $29,690, and Nissan’s materials reviewed for this page give no separate arrival date for it. EPA ratings for the hybrid have not been published; the 38 mpg combined figure is Nissan’s estimate.
Is the 2027 Nissan Rogue a Redesign?
Not as a new generation. The current Rogue is the third generation, which launched for the 2021 model year, and the gas model carries over for 2027 in that generation. The big change is mechanical: an all-new Rogue Hybrid with Nissan’s e-POWER system, in which a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder acts only as a generator for two electric motors, giving 225 hp and standard all-wheel drive. Nissan estimates 38 mpg combined. The 2027 Dark Armor grade adds gloss black accents and 19-inch wheels. The hybrid is the first Rogue to use e-POWER in the US.
What’s New for the 2027 Nissan Rogue?
What’s New for the 2027 Nissan Rogue: Quick Diagnostic Intelligence
A lot, but only for the hybrid. The gas Rogue carries over in its current generation with a refined CVT. The all-new Rogue Hybrid introduces Nissan’s e-POWER hybrid technology to the US market for the first time on this model, a series hybrid setup where the gasoline engine never directly drives the wheels. Instead, a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine acts solely as a generator, charging a battery that powers electric motors at both axles for standard all-wheel drive.
This is a different hybrid architecture than most competitors use. Toyota’s RAV4 and Honda’s CR-V hybrids use a power-split system where the gas engine can directly drive the wheels in certain conditions. Nissan’s e-POWER keeps the gas engine purely as a generator, which Nissan says delivers smoother power delivery and EV-like responsiveness without needing to plug in.
The Rogue Hybrid is built at Nissan Motor Kyushu in Japan. The SR AWD with Technology Package arrives in fall 2026, and the rest of the lineup follows in early 2027.
2027 Nissan Rogue Trims and Pricing
Based on the confirmed e-POWER launch price and 2026 gas-model pricing, here is the lineup structure. For 2027, the gas Rogue comes in S, SV, Rock Creek, Dark Armor and Platinum grades, starting at $29,690.
| Trim | 2026 MSRP (Gas) | Powertrain |
|---|---|---|
| S | $30,180 | 1.5L VC-Turbo (201 hp) |
| SV | $31,180 | 1.5L VC-Turbo (201 hp) |
| Rock Creek | $35,080 | 1.5L VC-Turbo (201 hp) |
| Dark Armor (2027) | $33,540 | 1.5L VC-Turbo (201 hp) |
| Platinum | $40,380 | 1.5L VC-Turbo (201 hp) |
| e-POWER SV (NEW for 2027) | $35,490 | e-POWER Hybrid (225 hp) |
A separate Rogue PHEV variant, priced around $45,990, is also part of the current lineup for buyers who want plug-in capability. For 2027, the Dark Armor grade adds gloss black accents and 19-inch gloss black wheels.
Engine and Powertrain
The existing gas engine, a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo 3-cylinder producing 201 hp, continues to anchor the value end of the lineup. The new e-POWER system is the headline addition for 2027.
| Powertrain | Output | Combined MPG | Drivetrain |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5L VC-Turbo (gas) | 201 hp | 31-32 mpg | FWD or AWD |
| e-POWER Hybrid (NEW) | 225 hp | 38 mpg (Nissan est.) | AWD standard |
The e-POWER system’s standard all-wheel drive and Nissan-estimated 38 mpg combined make it the efficiency and capability leader in the Rogue lineup, outperforming the gas model on both fronts.
2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid e-POWER Specs
Nissan’s Rogue Hybrid press kit (September 21, 2026) breaks the e-POWER system into its parts. The gas engine only turns a generator; two electric motors, one per axle, do all the driving, giving the Rogue Hybrid standard all-wheel drive.
| Component | Nissan specification |
|---|---|
| Generator engine | 1.5L (1,498 cc) turbocharged 3-cylinder, 148 hp @ 5,000 rpm, 171 lb-ft @ 3,600 rpm |
| Front motor | 202 hp, 243 lb-ft |
| Rear motor | 134 hp, 144 lb-ft |
| Total system output | 225 hp |
| Hybrid battery | 1.67 kWh lithium-ion |
| Fuel economy | Nissan estimate: 41 city / 36 highway / 38 mpg combined (EPA ratings not yet published) |
| Fuel tank | 14.0 gallons |
| Driving aids | e-Pedal regenerative braking; Standard, Eco, Sport, Off-Road, Snow and Personal drive modes |
Does it plug in? No. The Rogue Hybrid is charged only by its onboard engine and braking, so it refuels at a gas station like any conventional hybrid. Shoppers who want to plug in should look at the separate Rogue Plug-in Hybrid.
Note that the 38 mpg figure is Nissan’s own estimate; as of October 4, 2026 FuelEconomy.gov lists no 2027 Rogue ratings. Check FuelEconomy.gov for the official EPA numbers once published. Source: Nissan 2027 Rogue Hybrid press kit.
How the 2027 Rogue Compares to Competitors
The compact SUV segment shifted significantly heading into 2027. Toyota’s RAV4 went hybrid-only for the 2026 model year, and the Honda CR-V remains a top seller.
| Model | Notable Strength |
|---|---|
| Nissan Rogue | New e-POWER hybrid, standard AWD on hybrid |
| Toyota RAV4 | Hybrid-only lineup |
| Honda CR-V | Strong seller with hybrid option |
| Hyundai Tucson | Roomy cargo area, hybrid option |
| Kia Sportage | Competitive starting price |
The Rogue has long been one of the segment’s volume sellers. With the new e-POWER hybrid arriving, the Rogue is positioned to compete more directly on efficiency, an area where it previously trailed the RAV4 and CR-V hybrids.
