Engine & Performance

Powertrain specs by trim

VC-Turbo Performance, Transmission, and Fuel Economy Specs

The mechanical heart of every gasoline-powered 2026 Nissan Rogue is the innovative 1.5-liter VC-Turbo engine [TrueCar]. This advanced three-cylinder powerplant produces 201 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque, delivering responsive acceleration while maintaining outstanding efficiency [TrueCar]. The engine is paired with a smooth-shifting Xtronic CVT that optimizes the gear ratios for seamless power delivery during daily driving [TrueCar].

Fuel economy is a standout attribute of this powertrain, making it a highly economical choice for commuters. Front-wheel-drive configurations of the Rogue S, Rogue SV, and Rogue Dark Armor achieve an EPA-estimated 29 mpg city / 36 hwy with a combined rating of 32 mpg. Opting for the available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive adjusts these figures slightly to 28 mpg city / 35 hwy and 31 mpg combined. The off-road-focused Rogue Rock Creek AWD trim, which features specialized all-terrain tires, is rated at 27 mpg city / 32 hwy and 29 mpg combined.

These efficiency numbers demonstrate how modern engineering can deliver both performance and savings at the pump.

This model combines a 2.4-liter gasoline engine with twin electric motors and a 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack, targeting a robust 248 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque [TrueCar].

The upcoming plug-in hybrid is designed to deliver up to 38 miles of all-electric range, allowing many drivers to complete their daily commutes without using a single drop of gasoline [TrueCar].
