Gas Rogue keeps refueling simple; Rogue Plug-in Hybrid can cover qualifying local travel with electric energy while retaining gasoline flexibility for longer trips.
Direct answer
Choose the gasoline Rogue when five seats fit, charging is unreliable or the plug-in model's transaction cost is not justified by your use. Choose Rogue Plug-in Hybrid when seven seats help, you can charge regularly and its 38 EPA-estimated electric miles cover much of the weekly routine. They use different platforms and cargo layouts, so compare passenger and luggage fit as well as energy cost.
