Does Nissan make a hybrid?

The all-new 2027 Rogue Hybrid, using the third generation of Nissan's globally proven e‑POWER technology, will launch in the U.S. market in late 2026.

Additionally, the 2026 Rogue Plug-in Hybrid is on sale now.

Hybrid e‑POWER vehicles do not need to be plugged in. Owners can simply fuel the vehicle with gasoline – like any other non-hybrid vehicle – and the hybrid powertrain will optimize the use of the engine, battery and electric motors to balance efficiency and performance.

What's the difference between Nissan's hybrid e‑POWER and fully electric options?

Fully electric vehicles – EVs – use a battery and one or more electric drive motors. They must be plugged in to charge, either at home or public chargers. They don't use any gasoline.

Owners can simply fuel the vehicle with gasoline and the hybrid powertrain will optimize the use of the on-board engine or motor to balance efficiency and performance.

Your results will vary depending on your phone case. Generally, thinner phone cases, or those specifically designed for wireless charging, are more likely to allow the device to operate on a wireless charger.

Wireless phone charging is incredibly convenient because you don't need to plug your device in every time you get in the car – a significant benefit if you are getting in and out of the vehicle a lot for short journeys.

The Nissan Rogue is the only vehicle in its class to have a middle seat LATCH anchor (for a total of five rear LATCH anchors), allowing owners to confidently secure three child car safety seats¹. If the fifth lower anchor position is used to install a car seat in the center position, the outboard car seat must be installed using the seatbelt instead of LATCH anchors.

Nissan vehicles are designed to provide easier access to the second- and third-row seats for owners installing or removing child safety seats.

For example, in the Nissan Rogue and Murano, the rear doors open nearly 90 degrees to provide better access to the back seats. In three row vehicles, like Pathfinder and Armada, Nissan's EZ FLEX® Seating System allows the second-row seats to tilt and slide forward with a child seat still installed – making access to the third row simpler without the need to remove a car seat.
