America’s Best-Selling Compact SUV Goes Hybrid
The 2025 Nissan Rogue Hybrid brings efficiency to one of America’s most popular compact SUVs. After a week of testing, we found it maintains the Rogue’s practical appeal while improving fuel economy substantially.
Performance & Efficiency
The Rogue Hybrid pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor for a combined 201 horsepower. Acceleration is adequate for daily driving, though not exciting. The reward is efficiency – we averaged 40 mpg combined, exceptional for a non-plug-in compact SUV.
Interior Quality & Space
The Rogue’s interior continues to impress with its comfortable Zero Gravity seats and quality materials. The 12.3-inch touchscreen is responsive and intuitive. Rear seat space is generous, and cargo capacity is among the best in class.
Safety & Technology
ProPILOT Assist provides confident semi-autonomous highway driving. Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring. The system works smoothly and unobtrusively.
Driving Experience
The Rogue Hybrid delivers a comfortable, composed ride. The e-POWER system operates smoothly, with the engine serving primarily as a generator. The unique powertrain creates an EV-like driving experience with seamless power delivery.
Verdict
Rating: 4.2/5
The Rogue Hybrid successfully adds efficiency to an already practical compact SUV. Its unique e-POWER system provides smooth, refined operation that sets it apart from traditional hybrids.
