The 2027 Nissan Rogue launches an all-new 4th generation with a confirmed e-POWER hybrid system: a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine acting purely as a generator paired with dual electric motors, delivering 225 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined with standard all-wheel drive. The e-POWER Rogue starts at $35,490 and began arriving at select US dealers in November 2026 in limited numbers, with broader rollout expected in early 2027. This replaces the outgoing 3rd-generation Rogue, which sold 217,898 units in 2025 despite a competitive shakeup in the compact SUV segment.

What’s New for the 2027 Nissan Rogue?
What’s New for the 2027 Nissan Rogue: Quick Diagnostic Intelligence
Everything. This is a full generational redesign, not a refresh. The outgoing 3rd generation (T33) ran from 2021 through 2026. The new 4th-generation Rogue 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 e-POWER Rogue is initially being imported from Japan in very limited numbers, with reports of just 1-2 units per dealer arriving starting November 2026. A broader nationwide rollout is expected through early 2027 as production ramps up.
2027 Nissan Rogue Trims and Pricing
Based on the confirmed e-POWER launch price and 2026 gas-model pricing, expect the following lineup structure for 2027, though full gas-model 2027 pricing has not yet been finalized by Nissan.
| 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) |
| SL | $36,680 | 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. Nissan also added a Dark Armor grade for 2026 aimed at a more rugged aesthetic.
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 | AWD standard |
The e-POWER system’s standard all-wheel drive and 38 mpg combined rating make it the efficiency and capability leader in the Rogue lineup, outperforming the gas model on both fronts.
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 continues to lead overall segment sales.
| Model | Notable Strength |
|---|---|
| Nissan Rogue | New e-POWER hybrid, standard AWD on hybrid |
| Toyota RAV4 | Hybrid-only lineup, strongest resale value |
| Honda CR-V | Segment sales leader in H1 2026 |
| Hyundai Tucson | Best cargo capacity in class |
| Kia Sportage | Lowest starting price |
The Rogue actually outsold the RAV4 in Q1 2026, aided by RAV4 production changeover disruptions during its own redesign. With the new e-POWER hybrid now available, the Rogue is positioned to compete more directly on efficiency, an area where it previously trailed the RAV4 and CR-V hybrids.
Nissan Rogue Sales Performance
The Rogue sold 217,898 units in 2025, down about 12% from the prior year as the outgoing generation aged and buyers waited for the redesign. First-half 2026 sales of approximately 135,970 units represent a 13% increase in Q1, suggesting strong demand as the new generation approaches launch.
