From school runs in Orangeville to weekend getaways across the province, this crossover has proven its worth through consistent performance and thoughtful design.
What makes the Rogue stand out in a crowded crossover market? The answer lies in several key areas where Nissan has focused its development efforts. The 2026 model year brings meaningful updates, including the new Rock Creek edition for adventure-seekers and the brand's first plug-in hybrid option for those looking to reduce fuel consumption.

The 2026 Rogue features a 1.5 L Variable Compression Turbo engine as standard across S, SV, Rock Creek, and Platinum grades. This engine delivers 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque while continuously adjusting its compression ratio to optimize either power or efficiency based on driving conditions. The system works effectively with an Xtronic CVT transmission and standard Idle Stop/Start technology to help manage fuel consumption during city driving.
For those interested in electrification, the new Rogue Plug-in Hybrid offers 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. It provides 61 km of all-electric driving range with a total range of 687 km, making it suitable for daily commuting on electric power while maintaining long-distance capability. The plug-in hybrid includes standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and seven drive modes for varied driving situations.
Safety remains a priority across the Rogue lineup. Every grade includes Nissan Safety Shield 360 as standard equipment:
The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid expands on this foundation with 11 standard airbags, Intelligent Around View Monitor providing a 360-degree view for parking confidence, and ProPILOT Assist with Navi Link for steering assistance and speed management. Rear Door Alert helps drivers remember items or passengers in the back seat.
Technology integration varies by grade to match different needs and budgets. The S, SV, and Rock Creek grades feature an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, plus SiriusXM Radio for entertainment options.
The Platinum grade upgrades to a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, integrating Google Assistant, Google Maps, and access to apps through Google Play directly into the dashboard. This grade also includes wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad for compatible devices. The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid Platinum adds a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 9-inch touchscreen, 10-inch head-up display, and a Bose nine-speaker sound system.
The Rogue's interior design prioritizes functionality alongside comfort. Physical controls for climate temperature, audio volume, and drive modes remain easily accessible. Soft-touch materials appear on the dashboard and door armrests, while acoustically laminated front door glass helps reduce cabin noise.
The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid offers three-row, seven-passenger seating—a notable advantage for larger families. The second-row bench seat slides forward and backward, allowing passengers to optimize legroom or cargo space as needed. The lower step-in height simplifies entry and exit, particularly when loading child seats.
Storage solutions include two front and two rear USB ports across the lineup. The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid Platinum adds two 120-volt power outlets, a power panoramic sunroof, rear door pull-up sunshades, and heated front and rear seats with a heated steering wheel.
The 2026 model year introduces the Rock Creek edition for drivers whose activities extend beyond paved roads. This grade adds capability-focused features:
The Rock Creek's exterior styling includes a gloss black front grille with silver accents, redesigned front fascia with Lava Red accents, and gloss black sideview mirrors. Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive provides traction management across varied surfaces.
The entry-level S grade establishes the Rogue's value proposition with standard all-wheel drive, Nissan Safety Shield 360, 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the 1.5 L VC-Turbo engine. This grade suits budget-conscious families who want core safety and connectivity features.
The SV builds on the S foundation with additional comfort and convenience features while maintaining the same powertrain and safety technologies. This mid-range option balances features with value.
Rock Creek targets active families with all-terrain capability, distinctive styling, and adventure-focused equipment. The all-terrain tires, Hill Descent Control, and roof rack system make this grade practical for camping trips, cottage weekends, or winter sports activities across Ontario.
The Platinum grade delivers the highest level of technology and comfort, including the 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, wireless charging, leather-appointed seating, and advanced driver assistance features. This grade appeals to families who prioritize connectivity and premium materials.
The PHEV Platinum combines electrification with seven-passenger seating, making it suitable for families wanting to reduce fuel consumption without sacrificing space. The 61 km electric range covers most daily driving in Orangeville and surrounding areas, while the total 687 km range supports longer trips without charging anxiety.
