While electric cars aren’t being adopted quite as quickly as automakers expected, that doesn’t mean people aren’t interested in reducing their fuel use. As such, hybrids are becoming a bigger and bigger chunk of vehicle sales across segments. Unfortunately for Nissan, its current U.S. lineup lacks any hybrids. It’s moving to change that, though, and it’s starting with its best-selling model, the Rogue. It will have a non-plug-in Rogue next year, the first of a completely new generation. That doesn’t help right now, though. So, what’s a brand to do? Nissan decided to borrow from its business partner Mitsubishi and rebadge the Outlander PHEV as the Rogue Plug-In Hybrid.
