The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid: Electric Range for Daily Drives, Gasoline Flexibility for Road Trips
Posted on December 2, 2025
The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid is Nissan's first plug-in hybrid offering in Canada. It delivers 61 km of all-electric range for daily commutes and a total driving range of 687 km when using both electric and gasoline power. For families in Ontario seeking an efficient SUV without range anxiety, the Rogue PHEV provides a practical solution.
Available exclusively in a well-equipped Platinum grade, the Rogue Plug-In Hybrid includes three-row, seven-passenger seating, advanced technology, and standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. With an estimated fuel economy of 3.6 Le/100 km and 248 horsepower, this plug-in hybrid delivers efficiency and performance for drivers ready to embrace electrification.
Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain: Electric Driving with Gasoline Backup
The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid uses a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engine producing 131 horsepower and 144 lb-ft of torque, paired with two electric motors—a front motor delivering 114 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque, and a rear motor producing 134 horsepower and 144 lb-ft of torque. Combined system output reaches 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque.
A 20-kWh lithium-ion battery pack powers the electric motors, providing up to 61 km of all-electric driving range—ideal for daily errands, school runs, and commutes. When the battery depletes, the gasoline engine activates to extend total range to 687 km. The system balances output from the motors and engine based on driver demand.
Charging takes 7.5 hours using a Level 2 home charger, or 16 hours using the included portable Level 1 charger that plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet. The Rogue PHEV features a J1772 charging port and a 3.5-kW onboard charger, making it compatible with most home and public charging stations.
Key Powertrain Highlights:
- 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque combined system output
- 61 km all-electric range, 687 km total range
- 6 Le/100 km estimated fuel economy
- Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive
Drive Modes and All-Wheel Drive Capability
Drivers can tailor the Rogue Plug-In Hybrid's performance through three battery management modes: EV mode prioritizes all-electric driving, Save mode conserves battery charge for later use, and Charge mode uses the gasoline engine to recharge the battery while driving. Two levels of regenerative braking—activated by shifting from D to B or enabling the e-Step one-pedal driving function—help recapture energy and extend electric range.
Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive distributes torque between the front and rear wheels for enhanced traction. Seven drive modes optimize power delivery: Normal, Power, Eco, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud. The Rogue PHEV adapts to winter roads, gravel cottage lanes, and varied driving environments.
Three-Row Seating and Family-Friendly Flexibility
The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid offers three rows of seating with space for seven passengers. The second row slides, reclines, and folds forward for access to the third row, while rear door pull-up sunshades and tri-zone automatic climate control keep all passengers comfortable. Second-row passengers benefit from large pockets for storing phones, tablets, and accessories.
Cargo capacity is versatile. Behind the third row, the Rogue PHEV offers 362 litres of cargo space, expanding to 872 litres with the third row folded and 1,832 litres with the second row folded. The wide cargo area accommodates four golf bags with the third row lowered, while the tall interior can fit a mountain bike. Objects up to 80 inches long can be stowed horizontally behind the front seats.
A motion-activated power liftgate provides hands-free access, while the rear doors open to a 70-degree angle for easier passenger entry and child seat installation.
Advanced Technology and Connectivity
The Rogue Plug-In Hybrid Platinum includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto, and a 10-inch head-up display that projects key driving information onto the windshield.
Audio entertainment comes from a Bose nine-speaker premium sound system. Connectivity includes a standard wireless phone charger, two front USB ports (one USB-A, one USB-C), and two rear USB ports (one USB-A, one USB-C). Two 120-volt, 1,500-watt power outlets—one in the trunk and one for rear passengers—can operate small electrical appliances, making the Rogue PHEV ideal for camping trips, tailgating, and outdoor activities.
NissanConnect Rogue PHEV Services telematics are included for five years, providing remote access, vehicle health monitoring, and connected features through the MyNISSAN app.
