Introduced for the 2017 model year in the United States, the Rogue Hybrid has been dropped for 2020 over sluggish sales. Nissan doesn’t comment on why the hybridized crossover had to go out without a bang, but did mention the focus is on the rest of the Rogue's range and the compact-sized Rogue Sport.
After publishing the pricing for the 2020 Nissan Rogue, spokesperson Kevin Raftery confirmed the dismissal of the hybridized option to Autoblog. It used to cost $2,800 more than the bone-stock Rogue with the four-cylinder N/A engine, and looking at the bigger picture, netting $200 a year over the ICE-only variant in gasoline costs wasn’t that big of a deal.
Equipped with the Xtronic CVT from the get-go, the Rogue returns 26 miles to the gallon city, 33 out on the highway, and 29 mpg on the combined driving cycle with front-wheel drive. Those figures are good enough on their own, and even the AWD is capable of 27 miles to the gallon combined. So to speak, the hybrid didn’t stand a chance against the standard Rogue.
The 2.5-liter engine is rated at 170 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, adequate figures for a crossover in this segment. The Rogue S FWD trim level opens the list at $25,200 excluding $1,045 for destination and handling, followed by the SV and SL. The range-topping grade with all-wheel drive is $32,940, featuring all the bells and whistles on offer.
ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving is standard in the SL and an option in the SL while Nissan Safety Shield 360 is wholly standard in the case of these two. The safety suite includes High Beam Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Automatic Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.
Known as the X-Trail in Europe, the Rogue was refreshed in 2013 on the CMD-C/D vehicle architecture. For the U.S. market and Canada, production is handled by the Smyrna plant in Tennessee.
