Nissan Launches First US E-Power Hybrid, Targets RAV4 with 2027 Rogue

Nissan has officially revealed the 2027 Rogue Hybrid, marking the first time its E-Power series-hybrid technology is available in the United States. The vehicle functions as a range-extended electric car, using a gas engine to charge a battery that powers electric motors, rather than driving the wheels directly. Priced starting at $35,490, the model aims to capture market share from competitors like the Toyota RAV4. Nissan plans to import units initially before shifting production to its Tennessee plant, with the goal of increasing US manufacturing capacity to one million units annually.

Nissan’s Brake Caliper Colors Decode Braking Power From Street to Track

Nissan treats brake caliper color as a live code for braking performance: silver for everyday street use, red for upgraded Z Performance brakes, a brighter red for Z Nismo with GT-R hardware, and yellow for carbon‑ceramic, track‑ready systems (not currently sold on new Nissans). The color system, dating to the R34 GT-R era, mirrors similar branding in Porsche’s lineup and signals how hard a car’s brakes can be pushed beyond standard street use.

Nissan Embraces Leaf–Luce Look-Alike Buzz, Teases Ferrari

Oil Crunch Forces Nissan to Gate Oil Supply and Pick Winners at The Dealerships

Nissan is reportedly rationing its Nissan-specific 5W-30 and 0W-20 synthetic oils, slashing dealership supplies to about 70% and 55% of last year’s levels, and instructing dealers to prioritize warranty, recall, and prepaid maintenance uses. Toyota faces similar substitution guidance, as base-oil shortages threaten broader supply chains; industry groups warn Gulf-region Group III base oils could run dry by June and the shortage could persist into 2027, risking new-vehicle production.

Nissan's 2027 Rogue E-Power Delivers EV Feel With Hybrid Range

Nissan Bets on AI, Hybrids, and a Bold Xterra Comeback

Nissan outlined a long-term plan centered on AI Drive Technology to power about 90% of its lineup (first shown in the Japan-market Elgrand with ProPilot updates expected by 2027), and a push into electrification with a 2027 Rogue/X-Trail E-Power hybrid in the US featuring a 42% thermal efficiency. The automaker officially confirms the return of the Xterra in 2028 as a body-on-frame, ‘Heartbeat’ model, possibly skipping a hybrid four-cylinder for a V6, with manual transmission unlikely. Alongside new models, Nissan will shrink its global lineup from over 60 to ~45 models, focusing on core SUVs like the Rogue, and aiming for about 1 million US/Canada sales annually by 2030 and 550,000 in Japan. CEO Ivan Espinosa frames this as a move beyond the Re:Nissan recovery with a focus on mobility intelligence and customer experience.

Nissan debuts US-first plugless e-Power series hybrid for Rogue

Nissan is bringing its plugless e-Power series-hybrid to the U.S. in a Rogue variant, using a gasoline engine as a generator to power electric motors for EV-like driving without a plug. The system, now in its third generation, features a larger turbo engine and updated packaging to appeal to American buyers, with expansion to other models possible later. While city driving historically yields strong mpg (Rogue Sport above 40 mpg cited), the e-Power is less efficient at higher speeds and Nissan has not yet released pricing or final fuel-economy figures.
