New Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid for Sale nearTimmins, ON

Nissan copies a copy of its own car, the Mitsubishi Outlander, to sell as the company's first plug-in hybrid.

Plug-in hybrid crossovers are typically high-achieving but low-volume sellers. For 2026, the Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) joins as the ninth such vehicle to offer an electric-only driving experience and quicker acceleration versus its standard gas trims. Visually and mechanically, the 2026 Rogue PHEV — built in Japan by Mitsubishi — shares virtually nothing in common with the regular 2026 Rogue except the name. Adding more confusion is Nissan's unusual marketing plan to discontinue the Rogue PHEV within a year when the next-generation Rogue debuts with the company's in-house hybrid, without plug-in capability. Or, Nissan executives say, they might sell the new hybrid and the old plug-in hybrid side by side. Either way, the Rogue PHEV is a compelling, if perplexing, compact SUV.

Verdict: Good in its own right, the Rogue PHEV is ultimately a rebadged Mitsubishi with a much shorter warranty and lots of missing equipment.
