How the Rogue Plug-In Hybrid Works

A plug-in hybrid has a larger battery than a conventional hybrid, allowing it to travel farther on electricity alone. You can use electric power for shorter daily trips and gasoline for longer drives. When the battery’s available charge runs low, the gas engine takes over to keep you going.

The Rogue Plug-In Hybrid utilizes a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery, two electric motors and a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. The system produces a combined 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Nissan says this setup accelerates more quickly than the gasoline-powered Rogue. Because the electric motors give you maximum torque immediately, merging onto I-90 takes little effort.

Battery management modes

• EV Mode: Uses electric power for driving without tailpipe emissions, making it suitable for shorter trips when sufficient charge is available.
• Save Mode: Holds your battery charge for later. Use the gas engine on the highway, then switch to electric when you reach town.
• Charge Mode: Uses the gasoline engine to replenish the battery while driving, subject to the system’s operating conditions.
• Normal Mode: Manages the gas engine and electric motors automatically according to driving conditions.

The e-Step system also uses regenerative braking to help slow the vehicle when you lift off the accelerator. Regenerative braking can return some energy to the battery, although the amount recovered depends on driving conditions.

Built for Spokane-Area Commutes

For drivers with shorter daily commutes, an EPA-estimated 38 miles of electric range may cover much of the day’s local driving. Depending on the starting point and route, trips around Spokane Valley or between Five Mile and Northtown may fall within the vehicle’s estimated electric range. Plug in overnight and start each morning with a charged battery.

For longer trips from Liberty Lake or Post Falls, the gasoline-electric powertrain can provide flexibility beyond the average electric range. Drive the first stretch on electricity and the hybrid system takes over effortlessly for the rest. The advertised total range of up to 420 miles and EPA-estimated 64 MPGe may make longer trips to destinations such as Sandpoint easier to plan. Actual range and fuel economy vary with driving conditions.

Getting the most electric range through a Spokane winter

Cold temperatures can reduce electric range, so the Rogue Plug-In Hybrid may travel fewer miles on battery power during Spokane’s coldest winter days. These habits may help preserve electric range in cold weather:

• When possible, park in a garage and plug in overnight. A sheltered parking space may help lessen cold exposure, while charging prepares the battery for the next trip.
• Heated seats may provide enough warmth, so you can rely less on cabin heating.
• If you want to reserve battery charge for local driving, check whether Save Mode suits the route and conditions.
• The gasoline engine helps extend driving capability when the battery’s available charge is low. Check Nissan’s documentation for how AWD performance operates in that condition.

Standard All-Wheel Drive for Inland Northwest Roads

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is standard on the Rogue Plug-In Hybrid. The AWD system uses electric-drive components to manage power delivery between the axles. Standard AWD can be useful on snow-covered Spokane streets and winter drives over Fourth of July Pass toward Coeur d’Alene, although it doesn’t eliminate the need to adjust speed and driving style to conditions.

The vehicle also offers seven drive modes, including Snow, Gravel and Mud settings for different road and surface conditions. Hill Descent Control helps regulate speed on steep downhill sections, while Hill Start Assist helps prevent rollback when moving off on an incline.

Safety and driver assistance

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard, including Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Braking and High Beam Assist.

The vehicle also includes ProPILOT Assist and 11 airbags. ProPILOT Assist can help with steering, acceleration and braking under specified driving conditions.

Three Rows, Seven Seats and Room for Gear

The Rogue Plug-In Hybrid offers three rows of seating for up to seven passengers. Nissan describes it as the only plug-in hybrid in its class with third-row seating.*

Fold the second and third rows flat and you have up to 64.7 cubic feet of cargo. It can also tow up to 1,500 pounds.

Power when you need it

The Platinum trim comes with two 120-volt, 1,500-watt outlets: one in the cargo area and one in the front console. The outlets can power compatible small devices and equipment when camping or during other situations where an electrical outlet is unavailable.

Charging at Home

The SUV includes a portable charging cable for use with a compatible household outlet. Charging from a standard outlet takes longer than Level 2 charging, so the amount of range recovered overnight depends on how long the vehicle is plugged in.

With a Level 2, 240-volt home charger, the battery can be fully charged in about 7.5 hours. Public Level 2 charging may be an option while you shop or work; check current charging locations and connector compatibility before heading out.

Ask your electric utility company about any current programs for home charger installation and talk with the Wendle Nissan team about what setup makes sense for your garage.
