Nissan has unveiled the new generation of its Rogue Hybrid crossover, featuring the e-POWER system, which sets it apart from conventional hybrids. The key innovation is that the wheels are driven solely by electric motors, while the gasoline engine acts as a generator.

Unlike traditional hybrids, the Rogue e-POWER does not have a transmission. This design enables smoother acceleration and eliminates delays when switching between modes. The vehicle does not require plug-in charging, relying instead on standard fuel refueling. The new system incorporates two electric motors and standard all-wheel drive. An intelligent management system distributes traction between the wheels in real time, enhancing stability during turns and on slippery surfaces.

Regenerative braking is also utilized, boosting efficiency and comfort. Notably, the e-Pedal function allows drivers to control acceleration and braking with a single pedal, which is particularly convenient for urban driving and traffic jams.

According to Nissan, the e-POWER technology has already proven its reliability, with nearly 2 million vehicles sold over ten years. The new Rogue will be its third generation and is specifically tailored for the North American market. Sales are expected to begin in late 2026.

The Rogue e-POWER represents a compromise between an electric vehicle and a traditional car. Nissan is focusing on the comfort of electric drive without the infrastructure limitations, a move that could prove to be a strong strategic play.
