NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Nissan Rogue Hybrid e‑POWER, arriving late 2026, will introduce Nissan's innovative hybrid e‑POWER technology to the U.S. and Canadian markets and has been named to Newsweek's Most Anticipated New Vehicles 2026 list.

Nissan's Hybrid e‑POWER technology, first introduced overseas in 2017, is now in its third generation and has been refined for the North American market. With Nissan's Hybrid e‑POWER technology, the wheels are driven by an electric motor while the gasoline engine acts as a generator—delivering instant torque, smooth acceleration, and a quiet, refined driving experience.

"The new Nissan Rogue Hybrid e‑POWER blends five-seat family-friendly transportation with budget-conscious travel,” said Eileen Falkenberg-Hull, senior editor of Autos at Newsweek. "The Rogue Hybrid e‑POWER's biggest selling point is that it allows families to step their toe into electric-only travel without the anxiety of needing to find on-the-go charging, making it one of Newsweek's Most Anticipated New Vehicles.”

The launch of the All-New 2027 Rogue Hybrid e‑POWER will be a key contributor to the Re:Nissan recovery plan, which aims to deliver a renewed product lineup with a greater choice of powertrains. Rogue Hybrid e‑POWER will compliment Nissan's range of internal-combustion offerings, providing customers with a more diverse range to match driving styles and expectations.

Winners of the Newsweek's Most Anticipated New Vehicles 2026 list are selected by the Newsweek Autos editorial team based on multiple factors. The list aims to gauge what vehicles customers in each region are most excited to see arrive in the coming year. This is the second year of the Most Anticipated New Vehicles list; the Nissan Armada and Murano were honored last year.

Nissan's best-selling crossover, the 2026 Rogue, builds on a strong core of family-friendly design, flexible storage space and an efficient turbocharged powertrain, with up to 36 mpg highway (S/SV FWD)1. It will be complemented by the 2026 Rogue Plug-in Hybrid, the brand's first plug-in hybrid in the U.S. market, expected to be on-sale early next year, that delivers up to 38 miles of all-electric range and an EPA-estimated total driving range of up to 420 miles2. Find more details on both models in their respective press kits.
