Nissan is expanding its electrified lineup with a model designed specifically for drivers who want the efficiency of electric driving without range limitations. The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid represents the brand's first plug-in hybrid offering for the Canadian market, combining dual electric motors with a gasoline engine to deliver practical everyday efficiency alongside long-distance capability.
For families and commuters in Orangeville and across Ontario, this new powertrain option addresses a common challenge: how to reduce fuel consumption on daily trips while maintaining confidence for longer journeys. The Rogue PHEV will arrive at Canadian dealerships early in 2026, bringing three-row versatility and all-weather capability to the growing plug-in hybrid segment.
The 2026 Rogue Plug-in Hybrid introduces a dual-motor electric drive system paired with a 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine. This combination delivers 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, providing stronger acceleration than the standard Rogue's turbocharged 3-cylinder powertrain.
A 20 kWh lithium-ion battery pack enables up to 61 km of all-electric driving range, sufficient for many daily commutes in Ontario without using gasoline. When the battery depletes, the system seamlessly transitions to hybrid operation, extending total driving range to 687 km. Fuel economy is estimated at 3.6 Le/100 km when combining electric and gasoline operation.
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive comes standard, distributing power between front and rear axles as needed. Seven selectable drive modes—Normal, Power, Eco, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud—allow drivers to optimize performance for different road conditions common in Ontario, from winter highways to cottage country trails.
The Rogue PHEV includes a 3.5 kW onboard charger and a portable 120V charging cable. Using a Level 2 home charging station (sold separately), a full charge takes approximately 7.5 hours. Standard household 120V outlets can also charge the battery, though this extends charging time to around 16 hours.
Drivers can select from three energy management modes:
Two levels of regenerative braking help recapture energy during deceleration. Shifting from D to B increases regenerative force, while the e-Step function enables one-pedal driving for maximum energy recovery in stop-and-go traffic.
Unlike many compact crossovers, the Rogue PHEV offers three rows of seating with space for seven occupants. The second row slides and reclines for passenger comfort, then folds forward to provide access to the third row. Rear passengers benefit from pull-up sunshades on the doors and tri-zone automatic climate control.
Cargo capacity varies with seating configuration:
The cargo area accommodates objects up to 80 inches long when seats are lowered, and the wide opening can fit four golf bags with the third row down. A motion-activated power liftgate comes standard, and rear doors open to a 70-degree angle for easier loading of child seats or cargo.
The Rogue PHEV includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and 10-inch head-up display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto come standard, along with a Bose nine-speaker premium audio system.
Charging ports include a wireless phone charger up front, plus USB-A and USB-C ports for both front and rear passengers. Two 120-volt power outlets (one in the cargo area, one for rear seats) can operate small electrical appliances—useful for camping trips or outdoor activities.
Standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 technologies include Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking. Intelligent Around View Monitor provides a 360-degree view around the vehicle, supplemented by Moving Object Detection. ProPILOT Assist with Navi Link offers steering, braking, and acceleration support on highways.
The 2026 Rogue PHEV will be offered exclusively in Platinum grade, which includes:
Plug-in hybrids suit drivers who want electric efficiency for daily driving but need gasoline backup for longer trips or situations without convenient charging access. For Ontario residents with typical commutes under 60 km, the Rogue PHEV's electric range can handle most weekday driving on electricity alone, while weekend road trips or winter cottage visits benefit from the extended hybrid range.
The dual-powertrain approach also addresses cold-weather concerns common in Ontario. Unlike pure electric vehicles, the Rogue PHEV can use its gasoline engine to generate cabin heat without depleting battery range, and the extended total range reduces anxiety about finding charging stations during winter travel.
