2026 Nissan Rogue Engine & Performance Specs
Every 2026 Nissan Rogue is powered by a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo three-cylinder engine — one of the most advanced engines Nissan has ever built. The 'VC' stands for Variable Compression, a smart technology that automatically adjusts how the engine runs to deliver both strong performance and great fuel economy.
In everyday driving, that means smooth power around Fort Worth traffic, confident acceleration on the highway, and fewer stops for gas. It’s the kind of balance that makes the Rogue a favorite among drivers who want capability without compromise.

Smarter Power, Better Efficiency
 |
The Rogue’s VC-Turbo engine constantly adapts to how you drive. When cruising, it increases compression for maximum efficiency. When you accelerate or climb hills, it lowers compression for extra torque and a stronger response. That flexibility gives the Rogue best-in-class torque for a gas-powered SUV — without sacrificing MPG or requiring premium fuel. |

Confidence in Every Condition

Drivers who choose AWD get Nissan’s latest Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. It automatically adjusts power between the front and rear wheels to improve grip, especially on rain-slick or uneven roads around North Texas. Five selectable drive modes let you tailor your Rogue to the moment:

Efficiency That Makes a Difference |
|---|---|
|
Every 2026 Rogue features independent front and rear suspension for a balanced ride. Electric power steering makes parking easy while staying firm and stable at highway speeds. With Hill Start Assist and Active Ride Control, the Rogue feels composed through corners and confident on steep inclines. |
With up to 36 MPG highway and a 14.5-gallon fuel tank, the Rogue keeps you on the road longer between fill-ups. And because the VC-Turbo runs on regular unleaded gas, you’ll enjoy premium performance without paying premium prices. |
