Nissan Priced the 2026 Rogue - No Rogue Hybrid Yet
Nissan is struggling, making its most important model, the Rogue, even more vital to its bottom line. Most expect the automaker to update the SUV with a new hybrid model soon, but Nissan’s 2026 Rogue announcement is free of anything other than light updates.
To be fair, Nissan could, and likely will, announce more about the Rogue Hybrid later on this year. For now, the 2026 Rogue has a new Dark Armor trim, which builds on the SV model with black exterior accents, 19-inch wheels, a black roof, and more. It also gets a 360-degree camera system, a panoramic moonroof, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.
The Rogue’s powertrain carries over from 2025, which includes a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, which produces 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a continuously variable transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. While relatively efficient, the three-cylinder is buzzy and noisier than expected, though it’s decently powerful.
A 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in is available, but an 8-inch unit comes standard. All models have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with the larger display offering wireless connectivity. Nissan ProPilot 2.1 is available, which brings hands-free driving on limited-access highways.
The 2026 Rogue starts at $30,180, a $200 increase over the 2025 model. Nissan hasn’t released pricing for the new Dark Armor trims yet, but the top Platinum model costs $40,380 after destination.

- Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
- Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
- Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
- Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁

^^ ANAL with his typical falsehoods (in his HATRED for the Koreans) - lol
Tucson/Sportage combined sales are around that of the CR-V; no one else has the production capacity to pump put as many compact CUVs as Toyota the RAV-4.
Interesting enough, the Tucson/Sportage each far outsell the RAV-4 in the UK/EU and Honda overall sales in Europe are tiny (Mazda far outsells Honda in Europe and other markets like Australia).
Reason why no E-power yet for the Rogue is that Nissan is still finishing the development of a more powerful version for the US market.
