A quiet early morning by the springs suits the 2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid. Its 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder serves as a generator, never drives the wheels and shuts off entirely when the battery has enough charge, while electric motors front and rear turn all four wheels with 225 horsepower of total system output.

Ease off the accelerator and e-Pedal starts slowing the SUV; lift off completely and it stops, a nice fit for stop-and-start US-19 errands. A button turns e-Pedal off. On the SR, EPA-estimated fuel economy is 41 city, 36 highway and 38 combined mpg; actual mileage may vary.

• 225 hp of total system output from Hybrid e-POWER
• 1.67 kWh lithium-ion hybrid battery
• AWD can lightly brake inside wheels for more precise cornering
• Drive modes: Standard, Eco, Sport, Off-Road, Snow and Personal
• Front strut and rear multi-link independent suspension

Music and maps for a drive over to Inverness come straight from your phone, because every 2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid mirrors a compatible one over wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. On SV and SR they appear on a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, beside a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

With Platinum or the SR Technology Package, both dash screens grow to 14.3 inches and the touchscreen gains Google built-in with Google Maps and the Play Store. Every grade holds a phone on a 15-watt magnetic Qi2 charger; Platinum adds a second one and 10-speaker Bose Premium Audio.

• Nissan Intelligent Key with Approach Unlock and Walkaway Lock
• Bluetooth streaming, voice recognition and Siri Eyes Free
• SiriusXM with 360L on SR and Platinum
• Over-the-air updates through NissanConnect Services on SR and Platinum
• Four USB-C ports, two of them charge-only in back

Even an unhurried errand day goes better with a second set of eyes. Every 2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid comes with the latest generation of ProPILOT Assist, plus Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking including Pedestrian, Cyclist and Intersection Assist, and Intelligent Lane Intervention. You stay in charge throughout.

Platinum, or an SR with the Technology Package, adds Hands-off Traffic Jam Support, which allows temporary hands-off steering on divided highways in low-speed congestion when ProPILOT Assist is active. Those versions also bring Rear Automatic Braking, front and rear parking sensors and the 3D HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor.

• Lead Car Departure Notification alerts when the vehicle ahead moves
• Four following-distance settings for Intelligent Cruise Control
• Traffic Sign Recognition and High Beam Assist on every grade
• SR and Platinum add ProPILOT Emergency Stop with e-call
• Front center seat-mounted side-impact air bag on Platinum

Under a bright Citrus County afternoon sun, the 2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid shows sharp-edged fenders, sculpted sides and very little chrome. A hexagonal honeycomb grille integrates the LED headlights, and as the beltline sweeps upward it forms a triangle that evokes Mount Fuji.

Matte inserts sit in the gloss black grille of the SV, which rides on 18-inch dark-painted alloys. The SR blacks out its grille, mirrors and lower trim and adds aero covers to 19-inch wheels, and Platinum frames a body-color grille insert in gloss black and rides on 19-inch machine-finished alloys.

• Premium LED projector headlights on SR and Platinum
• LED daytime running lights and tail lights on every grade
• Eight colors; two-tone black roofs on SR and Platinum
• Dark privacy glass on the second-row and rear windows
• 183.1 inches long on a 106.5-inch wheelbase

Humid afternoons call for a cool seat, and the 2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid Platinum brings ventilated front seats, the first climate-controlled seats offered in a Rogue. Every grade has heated front seats for chilly mornings, and Zero Gravity seats up front and in the outer rear spots are designed to support natural posture.

Platinum covers its seats in Quilted TailorFit leatherette, with quilting inspired by high-end down jackets; SR uses Sport Quilted TailorFit, and SV comes in premium cloth, with TailorFit seating in the SV Premium Package. Three large suitcases fit upright in back, and folding the 60/40 second-row seatbacks opens cargo room up to 65.9 cubic feet.

• Heated rear outboard seats on Platinum
• Heated steering wheel on SV and Platinum; SR via Technology Package
• 40.9 inches of front headroom without the moonroof
• Four cupholders and four door-mounted bottle holders
• Leatherette-wrapped front door inserts and matte high-touch finishes
