PHEVs are gaining ground among motorists who like the benefits of an electric vehicle but who don’t want to worry about running short on range. Nissan is the latest to plug into that emerging market segment with a version of the 2026 Rogue SUV – thanks to a helping hand from its Japanese partner, Mitsubishi. Headlight.News explains.
With its planned merger with Honda now likely dead, Nissan desperately needs to come up with the products that can help it head off a further decline in sales and earnings. It’s dropped a teaser showing some of what it now has in the pipeline ready to debut over the next two years – and the emphasis is on electrified drivetrain technology, with a Rogue PHEV, e-Power models and even a new Nissan Leaf in the works.
