2017 Nissan Rogue Hybrid Starts at $27,180
CARS.COM — Nissan’s new Rogue Hybrid starts at $27,180 including a destination fee, the automaker announced today. That’s just $1,000 more than the equivalent non-hybrid Rogue trim, the front-wheel-drive Rogue SV. The 2017 Rogue Hybrid is on sale now at Nissan dealers in 18 Western states; it goes on sale nationwide this spring.

With a single electric motor and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the Rogue Hybrid’s gas-electric drivetrain makes a combined 176 horsepower — roughly equivalent to the non-hybrid Rogue — and gets an EPA-estimated 34 mpg combined with FWD (33 mpg with all-wheel drive). Those ratings are roughly 20 percent better than the regular Rogue’s fuel-economy numbers of 29 mpg combined FWD and 27 mpg AWD.
With AWD, the Rogue Hybrid SV starts at $28,530. A range-topping SL trim runs $32,100 with FWD and $33,450 with AWD. Options include a 7-inch multimedia system, 360-degree cameras and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. With its lithium-ion battery under the cargo area, the Rogue Hybrid doesn’t offer the non-hybrid Rogue’s convenient Divide-N-Hide cargo partitions or optional third-row seat, however. It also doesn’t come in a base trim, which the Rogue does: The Rogue S starts at $24,760 with FWD.
But the Rogue Hybrid appears a value-oriented hybrid choice otherwise, edging out its most direct competitor, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, in both price and EPA mileage. Toyota’s rival, which is AWD only, is EPA-rated at 32 mpg combined; it’s also pricier, albeit better-equipped.
