- The Nissan Rogue e:Power arrives this November to rival the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V Hybrid.
- The Japanese automaker has moved up its launch timeline twice.
- Hybrid sales are booming in the U.S. due to high gas prices.
Despite being an early electric vehicle pioneer with the first-generation Leaf in 2010, Nissan has been notably absent from the powertrain Americans are gravitating toward most: hybrids. The Japanese automaker does offer the Rogue plug-in hybrid in the U.S., but that’s basically a rebadged Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Now, Nissan is preparing to launch the fourth-generation Rogue in the U.S., with the hybrid arriving first, followed by non-hybrid versions.
