Every gas-powered 2027 Rogue model uses a 1.5-liter Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) 3-cylinder engine generating 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Front-wheel-drive S, SV, and Dark Armor models deliver an estimated 28 mpg city / 33 mpg highway / 30 mpg combined. All-wheel-drive S, SV, Dark Armor, and Platinum models earn an estimated 27 mpg city / 32 mpg highway / 29 mpg combined, while the Rock Creek AWD is rated at an estimated 26 mpg city / 31 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined.

Nissan’s VC-Turbo engine continuously alters its compression ratio to balance high-power acceleration with low-rpm fuel economy. By utilizing an advanced multi-link mechanism, the engine adjusts piston stroke seamlessly depending on driver input. The 225 lb-ft of torque delivers prompt low-speed throttle response, making highway merging and overtaking straightforward.

For the 2027 model year, Nissan retuned the Xtronic CVT logic to deliver smoother, more linear power progression during acceleration. Drivers can adjust driving characteristics on the fly using standard drive modes, including Auto, Eco, and Sport. Models equipped with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive gain additional Snow and Off-Road drive settings to manage changing weather and terrain conditions.

Fuel economy ratings across the non-hybrid lineup vary slightly by drivetrain and tire package:

• FWD (S, SV, Dark Armor): 28 mpg city / 33 mpg highway / 30 mpg combined
• AWD (S, SV, Dark Armor, Platinum): 27 mpg city / 32 mpg highway / 29 mpg combined
• Rock Creek AWD: 26 mpg city / 31 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined

For value-focused buyers interested in reliable efficiency across earlier model years, exploring our pre-owned vehicle lineup provides access to quality crossovers tested by our factory-trained service team.

The Rock Creek trim distinguishes itself with standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, hill descent control, 17-inch dark alloy wheels wrapped in Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires, a tubular roof rack, and an HD Intelligent Around View Monitor with Off-Road Mode.

The Rock Creek targets drivers who want rugged design combined with extra traction capability for outdoor weekend trips. The specialized front fascia features a distinctive black grille design with red accents, complemented by gloss-black mirror caps and dark exterior badging.

Standard Dual-Motor Electric All-Wheel Drive distributes power continuously between the front and rear axles to enhance grip during cornering and poor weather conditions.

The 2027 Rogue offers a choice of two powertrains: a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo gas engine producing 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque, or the new e-POWER hybrid system with 225 combined horsepower and standard dual-motor all-wheel drive. The redesigned Toyota RAV4 is now offered only as a hybrid or plug-in hybrid, with the standard hybrid pairing a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motors for 226 horsepower with front-wheel drive or 236 horsepower with all-wheel drive.

The biggest difference between the two hybrids is how power reaches the road. In the Rogue Hybrid, the electric motors drive the wheels at all times, and the gas engine works only as a generator to charge the battery, giving it an electric-vehicle-like feel with instant torque from a stop. The RAV4 Hybrid uses a more conventional setup in which the gas engine and electric motors can both drive the wheels. For shoppers who prefer a non-hybrid, the gas-powered Rogue remains available, while the RAV4 no longer offers a gas-only model.

Interior technology varies by trim. Gas-powered S, SV, Dark Armor, and Rock Creek models come with an 8-inch touchscreen, while the gas Platinum steps up to a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in. Every Rogue Hybrid includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and the Hybrid Platinum upgrades to dual 14.3-inch displays.

A head-to-head comparison reveals several key differences:

• Powertrain Choice: Rogue offers both a gas VC-Turbo engine and an e-POWER hybrid, while the RAV4 is offered as a hybrid or plug-in hybrid only.
• Front Seat Comfort: Rogue features Zero Gravity front seats engineered to reduce pressure points on long drives.
• Cargo Space: Rogue provides about 36.5 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row and up to 74.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
• Drivetrain: The gas Rogue uses an Xtronic CVT tuned for linear response, while the Rogue Hybrid's electric motors drive the wheels directly without a conventional transmission.

The SV trim represents the sweet spot in value for most buyers. It adds essential comfort and convenience technology over the base model, including an 8-way power driver seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, push-button start, and ProPILOT Assist hands-on highway steering assistance.

Yes, the Rock Creek trim comes standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. It also includes hill descent control, 17-inch dark alloy wheels with Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires, a tubular roof rack, and an HD Intelligent Around View Monitor with Off-Road Mode to assist when navigating rough terrain.

The 2027 Rogue seats five passengers and provides about 36.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats. Folding the 60/40 split rear seats flat expands total cargo capacity to up to 74.1 cubic feet. Upper trims also include the Divide-N-Hide cargo system for flexible storage configurations.

The gas Rogue uses a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo 3-cylinder engine producing 201 horsepower with front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. The Rogue Hybrid features Nissan's e-POWER system with standard dual-motor all-wheel drive, generating a combined 225 horsepower while delivering up to an EPA-estimated 41 mpg city.

With five gas trims and three hybrid options, the 2027 Nissan Rogue offers a variety of choices tailored to different needs and budgets. Whether you prefer the value of the SV, the rugged style of the Rock Creek, or the luxury of the Platinum, our team is ready to assist you.
