Overview

The 2018 Nissan Rogue hybrid is a proud member of the compact SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Lexus NX 300h hybrid, the Toyota RAV4 hybrid, and the Kia Niro hybrid. Spread across 2 trims, the Nissan Rogue hybrid starts off at a base price of MSRP $27,020 and carries on to $33,730. SUVs like the 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The Rogue Hybrid uses its 2.0L Inline-4 engine and a single motor hybrid system and a lithium-ion battery to produce 176 horsepower. This gives the Rogue Hybrid a 0-60 of 9.7 seconds. The hybrid system here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2019 Rogue Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 34 MPG. It also has a ground clearance of 8.4 inches.

Buying Advice

If you're looking for a hybrid SUV that has it all, the SV trim is the way to go. It's affordable enough, but if needed, a few package upgrades are available to bring it closely equipped with content on the SL trim.
