More notably, the 2026 Rogue will offer a new Dark Armor edition. Little is known about it, but it will be based on the SV trim and presumably embrace the blackout trend.
Speaking of the SV, it will gain a newly available Cold Weather package. It adds heated seats and a heated steering wheel. These features are currently offered on the $2,000 SV Premium Package. The 2026 Rogue SL, though, will apparently drop the $1,740 Premium Package. The $3,200 Technology Package is also said to be on the way out, which would be a shame as it includes ProPILOT Assist 2.1.
On the bright side, the Rogue Rock Creek is reportedly getting a price cut. There’s no word on numbers at the moment, but the 2025 model starts at $33,490, so let’s hope the reduction makes it even more appealing.
In the top-tier Rogue Platinum, things are getting a little more exclusive with an all-wheel-drive-only configuration on offer.
We can expect an official announcement in the coming weeks, but the 2026 Rogue should continue to be powered by a familiar 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine producing 201 hp (150 kW / 203 PS) and 225 lb-ft (305 Nm) of torque. It’s paired to an Xtronic transmission, which enables the crossover to return up to 30 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined.
A next generation Rogue is already under development but it won’t arrive until during the fiscal year that ends on March 31, 2027. It will be offered with Nissan’s new advanced hybrid powertrain the gas engine functions as a generator to charge a battery, and that battery then powers the wheels

When it does finally arrive, though, it’ll bring something new to the table: Nissan’s advanced e-Power hybrid powertrain .In this system, the gas engine functions as a generator to charge the battery, which then powers the wheels providing improved efficiency.
