2026 Nissan Rogue Engine Specs Comparison

The 2026 Nissan Rogue separates itself from many rivals by offering a standard VC-Turbo® engine that produces 225 pound-feet of torque. That gives Rogue drivers noticeably stronger low-end response than the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, both of which come with 178 pound-feet of torque. Whether you're accelerating from a stoplight, merging onto the highway or carrying a full load of passengers and gear, that added torque can help the Rogue feel more capable in everyday situations.

Another major advantage is fuel economy. With up to 36 highway mpg, the Rogue mpg ratings outshine the competition. The Ford Bronco offers a more trail-focused setup and higher torque output, but for many Durham-area drivers who prioritize everyday drivability and better efficiency, the Rogue is the more practical fit.
