Should You Buy a 2026 Nissan Rogue or Grab a Discounted 2025?
The 2026 lineup sees a $200 increase across most trims, while the Platinum AWD gets a rare $1,000 price cut. For buyers deciding between the outgoing 2025 stock and incoming 2026 models, the updates are subtle enough to make a discounted 2025 unit appealing-especially with many dealers clearing inventory at aggressive prices.
For 2025, the Rogue starts at $28,590 for the S FWD and reaches $39,990 for the Platinum AWD before destination charges. Trims like the SV AWD list for $30,990, while the off-road-styled Rock Creek AWD is priced at $33,490.
Nationwide listings on Cars.com show substantial markdowns, particularly on SV and SL grades, with savings often in the $2,000-$4,000 range depending on location and dealer incentives.
The powertrain remains identical between 2025 and 2026 – a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo 3-cylinder producing 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft, paired with Nissan's Xtronic CVT – so there's no performance loss in choosing a 2025. For value-focused buyers, these discounts may outweigh the modest updates in the next model year.
Opting for a 2025 Rogue means skipping several 2026 updates. The new Dark Armor trim joins the lineup, positioned between the SV and SL. It brings blacked-out exterior accents, satin black roof rails, 19-inch gloss black wheels, and SV-based equipment that includes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, panoramic moonroof, and Nissan's HD Intelligent Around View Monitor. It will be offered in both FWD and AWD, though pricing has yet to be confirmed.
Tech upgrades are also part of the 2026 package. All models gain Google Built-In, integrating Google Maps, Assistant, and Play into the 12.3-inch touchscreen. The Platinum AWD now offers ProPilot 2.1, Nissan's latest semi-autonomous system that enables limited hands-free driving on single-lane freeways.
However, if you want something truly groundbreaking, you will need to wait further for Nissan's upcoming electrified option. The Rogue e-Power is confirmed for the US but won't arrive until the brand's 2026 fiscal year, likely as a 2027 model. Choosing a 2025 Rogue means sticking with the gasoline-only setup, even as competitors like the RAV4 move to all-hybrid lineups.

Trump's Pay-For-Play Chips Deal Generates Alarm and Optimism
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump's controversial plan to take a cut of revenue from chip sales to China is leading to concerns that the US government will find new ways to start charging companies for a range of business activities with other countries. Experts and people familiar with the matter said the surprise deal, in which Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. agreed to pay 15% of their revenues from Chinese AI chip sales to the US, potentially provides a path to enter the Chinese market despite severe export controls, tariffs and other trade barriers. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain For Homeless Cyclists, Bikes Bring an Escape From the Streets The question that companies must now confront is whether the risk is worth taking. People familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations, said companies are struggling to figure out what the president's order means for their future, especially given the unpredictable nature of Trump's decision-making. 'This is truly bizarre and unusual, and the troubling thing — beyond the individual instances of AMD and Nvidia — is the possibility that this will be expanded,' said Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. 'Everything is now 'national security,' according to the new definition, which means it's all subject to export licenses and then they give you a license based on your contribution.' There are concerns that US trade agencies could begin charging fees to companies every time there's a meeting to discuss tariffs, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, which issues export licenses, wasn't consulted about the revenue deal, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private conversations. Trump administration officials defend the idea as a smart way to generate revenue for the US government and suggest it will extend well beyond the chips sector. 'I think we could see it in other industries over time,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Wednesday. 'I think right now this is unique, but now that we have the model and the beta tests, why not expand it?' Bessent defended the deal and rejected any national-security concerns around the decision to sell Nvidia's H20 chip to China — something that had been earlier barred for fear of giving China a boost in the artificial-intelligence race. 'There are no national security concerns here,' Bessent said. 'We would not sell any of the advanced chips. So, the H20, I don't know whether you'd say they're four, five, six levels down the chips stack.' Either way, the deal highlights how Trump has pushed to open a wave of new revenue streams including by taking ownership shares of companies or extracting higher fees to live or work in the US. The US is weighing sales of a so-called 'gold card' residency permit, it won a 'golden share' to have direct say over corporate actions by United States Steel Corp., and it's secured investment pledges and potential revenue-sharing in country-level tariff talks. That's aside from the barrage of product tariffs that have at times left massive dislocations in globally traded markets. The matter further surprised China hawks in Congress, who have been unimpressed by the administration's reassurances. Rep. John Moolenaar, the Michigan Republican who chairs the US House Select Committee on China, questioned the legal basis for the move and suggested it does an end-run around controls put in place to limit the sale of sensitive technology to US adversaries. 'Export controls are a front-line defense in protecting our national security, and we should not set a precedent that incentivizes the government to grant licenses to sell China technology that will enhance its AI capabilities,' he said. It also raises questions about where the administration will steer the revenue. Trump has mused about issuing tariff rebate checks — though he has yet to seriously pursue the idea — while at other times he's said it would go toward narrowing the large budget deficit. The administration had debated launching a sovereign wealth fund before shelving those plans for now. It's too soon to say whether the administration will seek to revive the fund and steer revenue there, one official familiar with deliberations said. 'Trump's aides argue that these measures will strengthen America's AI leadership by maximizing its global influence and market share,' Hal Brands, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a former Pentagon official, wrote in Bloomberg Opinion. 'Yet it is also possible that they will simply eat into America's innovation advantage.' --With assistance from Mackenzie Hawkins and Derek Wallbank.
