Nissan's Road Map Toward 2030 Pairs Electric Assist With Six Cylinders

Nissan has set 2030 as its target for offering a deep bench of gas-electric models to American buyers, and the new Rogue Hybrid comes first. For owners who tow, haul or head off pavement, the bigger news is further along: the company is developing a V-6 powertrain with hybrid assistance for a family of tough pickups and sport-utility vehicles. That pairs the six-cylinder layout this segment has long relied on with an electric partner, instead of asking truck buyers to settle for less engine. It is a plan built for the American driveway, and we will be watching as it moves from engineering work to the showroom floor.
