Guessing the 2027 Nissan Rogue.

While Nissan just released a “new” Rogue Hybrid for 2026, it is just a Mitsubishi Outlander with Nissan badges here and there. However, a “real” new Nissan Rogue is coming next year for the 2027 model year. This will be an all-new design. The illustrations above seem to do a pretty good job at trying ot guess what the new SUV will look like.

They look pretty close to the many spy shots we have already seen of the next-generation Rogue. And it seems like it won’t be a crazy departure from the current model. Which is pretty wise from Nissan. Since the Rogue still sold almost 250,000 units last year.

A brand new generation will probably boost the number even higher, especially since a new Hybrid trim will be available. The new Hybrid will use the 3rd generation of Nissan’s e-Power system. It uses a gas engine as a battery generator and an electric motor to power the car. I drove the system in Europe and few weeks ago and really found it a bit ridiculous.

It mostly drives like an electric car, except that once in a while, the engine comes on to charge the battery. Which does feel and sound weird. It basically gives you the feel of an EV while still using gas. And the average MPG isn’t that great, since you are carrying a big battery and an electric motor.

It is a pretty ridiculous idea if you ask me. If you like the way an EV drives, just get an EV with a 300-mile range. If you don’t want an EV, get a gas car. And if you just want to save a bit of gas, just get a regular hybrid.
