What is going on HERE?!?
A very interesting vehicle for the brand is the Nissan Rogue plug-in hybrid, which has a corporate cousin in the Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid that wears completely different skin from it. And then there’s this. So, this is a rebadged version of the Mitsubishi Outlander, which is a rebadged version of the Nissan Rogue. So, all three vehicles wear the same skin underneath, but this is using the plug-in hybrid powertrain of the Mitsubishi Outlander. It’s wearing the face and overall body design of the Mitsubishi Outlander, but it does get the Nissan corporate grill. Very interesting overall packaging, but it was the quickest way that Nissan could write what they say is the biggest wrong in their uh lineup. the fact that they had no hybrids. They had the electric leaf, but they didn’t have a hybrid. So, this was the quickest way for them to get a hybrid, putting a new face on the Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid. And then, yes, the interior already shared a lot with the Rogue. Uh, it was the exterior that really changed a lot. We’ve got the traditional Rogue over here wearing the traditional Rogue styling. This is the Rock Creek off-road variant. So, we’ve got uh more off-road ready tires on this, a slight lift, and more black plastic cladding. But you can see just how different the face is on this versus the plug-in hybrid we saw just a moment ago, but very similar interior to that plug-in hybrid.
@Nissan rebadged a rebadged car to give us their first mainstream hybrid of the 2020s with this 2026 Nissan Rogue PHEV.
