"In other words, the car surely does something right, and Nissan could profit from it, all while keeping development costs low. That said, the new Rogue PHEV misses two big features that could have made it even more attractive to customers: its battery could have been bigger, and it could have had a DC fast charging portboth features that are present on the European-spec Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV."
"Instead of the 22.7-kilowatt-hour battery that's fitted to the European Outlander, Nissan went with the same 20-kWh battery that's found on the U.S.-spec model. It powers two electric motors, which work together with a 2.4-liter gasoline engine for a total output of 248 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. With a full battery, the 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid can drive up to 38 miles on electricity, the same as the Outlander PHEV it's based on. Photo by: Nissan"
The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid is Nissan's first PHEV in the U.S. and is a rebadged Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV sharing its powertrain and electric range. The vehicle uses a 20-kWh battery driving two electric motors plus a 2.4-liter gasoline engine for combined 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. The Rogue PHEV offers up to 38 miles of electric-only range. Nissan omitted the European Outlander's larger 22.7-kWh battery and its DC fast-charging CHAdeMO port, leaving only Level 2 charging. Badge engineering keeps development costs low and leverages Outlander PHEV's U.S. sales success.
