Nissan's Rogue Hybrid Is More Than a New Model. It Is a U.S. Manufacturing Bet.

Nissan’s 2027 Rogue Hybrid, powered by the e-POWER series-hybrid system, aims to regain relevance in the U.S. compact SUV segment while supporting a bigger shift toward U.S. manufacturing. Nissan plans to launch the gas-powered 2027 Rogue from Smyrna, Tennessee, in the spring, import the Rogue Hybrid from Japan initially, and begin U.S. hybrid production next year—supporting its goal to build 80% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. domestically by 2030.

  • 01Nissan is assessing whether demand could support a third production shift at its Smyrna and Canton facilities, which could lift U.S. output toward 1 million vehicles annually, up from about 487,000 in 2025.
  • 02The Rogue Hybrid uses e-POWER, a series-hybrid system where a gasoline engine generates electricity for dual electric motors, aiming for up to 40 mpg in city driving.
  • 03Nissan says the Rogue Hybrid (SR with Technology Package) will arrive in limited quantities in late fall 2026, with more trims expected in early 2027. The company plans to launch the gas-powered 2027 Rogue from its Smyrna, Tennessee, plant in the spring, followed by U.S. hybrid production next year.
