The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid is making waves as Nissan’s first plug-in hybrid in Canada. It’s built with today’s families in mind, offering up to 61 km of all-electric range for those daily trips around town. Plus, with its hybrid powertrain, you can cruise up to 687 km, blending the ease of electric with the reliability of gas. "The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid is an important step in Nissan's electrification roadmap. It delivers the convenience of electric-type driving for everyday commutes while maintaining the long-range driving benefits of a gasoline engine. This dual capability reflects Nissan's commitment to meeting customers' needs to enjoy the upside of having both an EV and a traditional SUV in a single vehicle which will prepare our customers for a more fully electrified future," said Ponz Pandikuthira, senior vice president and chief product officer, Nissan Americas. "Introducing our first plug-in hybrid in Canada and the U.S. reinforces our business strategy to revitalize the product portfolio and expand market coverage." The all-new 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid is rolling out in a super decked-out Platinum grade and will hit Nissan dealerships in early 2026. Nissan’s Plug-in Hybrid: Get the Best of Both Worlds Meet the 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid, your new road buddy. This ride’s got not one, but two electric motors, a 20-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and a 2.4-litre gas engine all working together. It’s like a dream team that effortlessly mixes the power from the motors and engine to give you just the right amount of oomph whenever you need it. You can cruise around town in all-electric mode for those chill, eco-friendly trips, and when you’re ready for a bigger adventure, switch to gas-hybrid mode to keep the journey going. You can fully charge the Rogue Plug-in Hybrid’s battery in just 7.5 hours using a Level 2 home charger. It’s expected to deliver fuel economy estimates of 3.6 Le/100 km, with a sweet 61 km of all-electric driving range and a total range of 687 km. You can choose between EV, Save, or Charge modes to juggle between battery power and the gas engine, depending on what you need at the moment. Plus, you’ve got two levels of regenerative braking. Just shift from D to B or turn on the e-Step one-pedal driving feature to make it happen. You can choose from seven different drive modes to get the best power and AWD torque distribution for whatever you’re tackling: Normal, Power, Eco, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud. Total system output is 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, helping enable quicker acceleration than the standard Rogue. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is standard on Rogue Plug-in Hybrid. Nissan Safety Shield 360 Comes Standard The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid is all about keeping you and your crew chill with its 11 standard airbags and a ton of safety and driver assistance goodies.

These are perfect for running small appliances, making them awesome for camping trips or tailgating parties. Impressive Flexibility Thanks To Three Row Seating The 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid is all about making life easier for hobby lovers, road trippers, and families. It’s got three rows of seats, fitting up to seven people, and the second row is super flexible—it slides, reclines, and folds forward so you can easily get to the third row. Plus, the second row has pull-up sunshades on the rear doors and a tri-zone automatic climate control system to keep everyone comfy. And don’t worry about where to stash your stuff—there are big pockets for phones, tablets, and other gadgets. The cargo space is super versatile, letting you stash stuff up to 80 inches long horizontally behind the front seats. If you’ve got a sunroof, you get 362 litres of space behind the third row. Drop that third row, and it jumps to 872 litres. Lower the second row, and you’re looking at a whopping 1,832 litres. The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid’s wide cargo area is perfect for fitting four golf bags when the third row is down, and its tall interior can easily handle a mountain bike. A motion-activated power liftgate comes standard, which is pretty cool. Plus, the rear doors swing open to a nice 70-degree angle, making it super easy for passengers to hop in and out, or for you to load up child seats or any other stuff you need to carry.

Nissan's shaking things up in the subcompact SUV world, and it might leave some folks scratching their heads. But don't worry, the team at Ajax Nissan is here to break it down for you. Instead of just rolling out a new model, Nissan's got two different rides under the Kicks name. First up, there's the 2025 Nissan Kicks Play. It's like getting the same first-gen model that budget-savvy drivers have loved, just with a new name to highlight its role as the go-to affordable option. Then, there's the brand-new 2025 Nissan Kicks. This one's a total makeover—bigger, beefier, packed with tech, and for the first time, you can get it with all-wheel drive. So, whether you're sticking with the classic or going for the upgrade, Nissan's got you covered. The Kicks Play is all about appealing to city folks who are super conscious about their budget, focusing on keeping costs low both when buying and running the car. On the flip side, the new Kicks is designed for those mainstream subcompact SUV shoppers who want the latest tech, more utility, and the kind of all-weather capability that's becoming a must-have for Canadian drivers. It's not just about picking between different trim levels; it's about choosing between two distinct generations of a ride, each with its own vibe, strengths, and crowd. You're basically deciding between tried-and-true, budget-friendly simplicity and a full package of modern design, tech, and capability. To make things crystal clear right off the bat, check out the table below. It highlights the key differences between the two models before we dive into the nitty-gritty details. Nissan Kicks Play Nissan Kicks Model First Generation (Model Carryover) Second Generation (All-New) Engine 1.6 litre Inline 4 2.0 litre Inline 4 Horsepower / Torque 122 HP / 114 lb-ft 141 HP / 140 lb-ft Drivetrain Front Wheel Driver Front Wheel Drive or All Wheel Drive Under The Hood The most fundamental differences between the Nissan Kicks and the Nissan Kicks Play lie in their mechanical DNA. The Kicks Play carries forward the tried-and-true 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, producing 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is celebrated for its fuel-sipping nature, making it an ideal companion for city commuting. In contrast, the new Nissan Kicks gets a substantial upgrade to a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, boosting output to 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. That’s a significant increase of 19 horsepower and 26 lb-ft of torque, promising a more responsive and confident driving experience. While it feels punchier off the line in city traffic, the new Kicks is also a heavier vehicle—by as much as 230 kg. This added weight means the power increase can feel like a "wash" during sustained acceleration, with some tests suggesting the lighter Kicks Play can feel less out of breath on a highway on-ramp. The true game-changer, however, is the drivetrain. The Nissan Kicks Play is available exclusively with front-wheel drive (FWD), limiting its appeal in regions with heavy snowfall. The new 2025 Nissan Kicks rectifies this by introducing an optional Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, a first for the model. For many Canadians, the availability of AWD is the single most compelling reason to choose the new Nissan Kicks over the Kicks Play. Space, Size & Cargo Carrying A quick glance reveals the new Nissan Kicks is a larger, more substantial vehicle. It is roughly 50 mm longer and wider, giving it a more assertive presence. More importantly for Canadian winters, its ground clearance has increased significantly to a proper SUV-like 213 mm (8.4 inches), a major improvement over the Kicks Play's 178 mm (7.0 inches). This extra height makes clearing snow drifts and navigating cottage roads much easier. Inside, the story is more nuanced. Thanks to its incredibly efficient packaging, the Kicks Play actually offers slightly more headroom and legroom for front-seat occupants. However, the new Kicks uses its extra width to provide more shoulder room and, crucially, more knee room for rear passengers, making the back seat a more comfortable place for adults. The Kicks Play offers a respectable 716 litres of space behind the rear seats, expanding to 915 litres when they are folded down. The new Kicks, however, is in another league. It boasts a class-leading 850 litres behind the rear seats, which opens up to a cavernous 1,699 litres with the seats folded—nearly double the maximum capacity of the Kicks Play. This massive increase in utility transforms the Kicks from a city runabout into a genuinely versatile vehicle capable of hauling sports equipment, camping gear, or the spoils of a trip to the hardware store. A Technological Overhaul Nowhere is the five-year development gap between the two models more apparent than inside the cabin. The interior of the Nissan Kicks Play is functional and well-built, but its design, featuring analog gauges and a standard 7-inch touchscreen, feels dated by modern standards. It’s a space defined by durable, hard plastics, which is expected at its budget-friendly price point. Stepping into the new 2025 Nissan Kicks is like stepping into the future. The dashboard is dominated by a clean, horizontal design that creates a sense of width and sophistication. Higher trims feature a sleek dual-screen setup under a single pane of glass, with a large 12.3-inch central touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster—a feature usually reserved for more expensive vehicles. The technological upgrades continue with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which come standard on the new Kicks, a convenient step up from the wired connection in the Kicks Play. The new model also offers a suite of premium features unavailable on the Play, such as a wireless charging pad, a panoramic sunroof, and an immersive 10-speaker Bose audio system with speakers built into the front headrests. Comfort is also enhanced with Nissan's "Zero Gravity" seats, designed to reduce fatigue, which are now featured in both the front and rear outboard seats of the new Kicks. Should You Pick The Kicks or Kicks Play? In the end, it's not really about one being "better" than the other when it comes to the 2025 Nissan Kicks Play and the all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks. They're like two different gadgets, each made for its own purpose. Nissan's got this cool two-generation strategy that hits the mark for different types of buyers. So, which one’s the best for you? Well, that totally depends on what you’re into, how much you’re willing to spend, and your lifestyle. By checking out all the details on performance, utility, tech, and cost, we can paint a pretty clear picture to help you make the right call. Ultimately, the choice between the Nissan Kicks and the Nissan Kicks Play comes down to individual priorities, lifestyle, and budget. Nissan has successfully created two distinct vehicles for two different customers. Nissan Kicks Play might be best for your family if: Your primary concern is budget. The Kicks Play offers the lowest possible purchase price and the most economical long-term running costs, thanks to its superior fuel efficiency. You are primarily a city driver. Its smaller size, nimble handling, and excellent fuel economy are perfect for navigating urban environments. You don't need all-wheel drive. If you live in an area with mild winters or are comfortable with winter tires on a FWD vehicle, the added cost of AWD is an unnecessary expense. You value simplicity and proven reliability. The Kicks Play uses a powertrain that has been on the market for years, offering straightforward, no-frills transportation. Nissan Kicks might be the best choice for you if: You need all-weather capability. The availability of AWD is a massive advantage for handling Canadian winters with confidence and security. You require maximum utility. The new Kicks' enormous and flexible cargo area is a game-changer for families, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who needs to haul bulky items. You want the latest technology and a modern interior. If features like large touchscreens, wireless connectivity, and advanced driver aids are important to you, the new Kicks is the clear winner. You frequently carry passengers. The increased rear knee room and more premium "Zero Gravity" rear seats make it a more comfortable vehicle for everyone on board.
