by New SUV from Nissan
The Nissan company has introduced its first plug-in hybrid for the American market, which was developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi. This model is the result of so-called “badge engineering,” when a car from one brand undergoes minor changes for sale under another brand.

Public Debut and Availability
The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid is expected to make its public debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 21. The first units will arrive at US dealerships in early 2026.
This model demonstrates the growing trend of collaboration between automakers within alliances, which allows for reducing development costs and offering consumers more options for environmentally friendly vehicles. The integration of Mitsubishi technologies indicates Nissan’s strategic approach to expanding its lineup of hybrid cars without the need for independent development from scratch.
