- The Nissan Rogue Hybrid came with fairly decent mileage, able to go 35 miles on the highway.
- The Hybrid saw some changes throughout its time on the market, having seen changes all three years it was around.
- If you’re wanting the most out of your Rogue Hybrid, then look for a 2019. Not only does it come with the most features, it is also a bit safer than the year models that came before it.
First generation (2017-2020)
While the Rogue had been around for a bit before the Hybrid was introduced, the Hybrid came about in 2017. When it debuted, there was very limited availability. During its first year, the Rogue Hybrid only came in two trim levels. These trims didn’t come with a third row, making them slightly less family friendly.
Despite the vehicle not being the friendliest for larger families, it is more environmentally friendly. The battery that the Rogue Hybrid came with can get you 33 miles in the city, and 35 miles on the highway. Thanks to the regenerative braking that is featured, you can enjoy the extra range when you apply the brakes, giving you peace of mind while driving.
In the year the Hybrid was introduced, they came available with full LED headlamps as part of the SL Premium Package. While in 2018 the SV trim received the bigger touch screen radio as standard equipment.
If you’re wanting something more up-to-date that comes with driving assist features, then you should look for a 2018 Nissan Rogue Hybrid SL as it may come with ProPILOT. The ProPILOT feature comes with lane keeping assist. When operating your Rogue Hybrid on a busier road, then the adaptive cruise control is a welcome feature. This will follow the vehicle in front of you at a set distance, making it easier to focus on the road without constantly needing to change speeds.
For the last year that the hybrid variant was available,there are some great features to look for, including:
- Forward-Collision Warning
- Automated Emergency Braking
- Automatic High-Beam Headlights
- Back-Seat Reminder
The SL and SV also see the addition of rear automated emergency braking and rear parking sensors as standard. This was done in an effort to make the trims more appealing, with Car and Driver noting that the best combination of price and features is given to the SV.
While this model didn’t last long, that doesn’t mean it’s not special. The Nissan Rogue Hybrid was truly ahead of its time.
