Is the 2027 Nissan Rogue a Good SUV for Lawrence, Kansas Drivers?

For those of you who’ve learned to love Rogues, allow us to introduce you to the new 2027 Nissan Rogue, soon to be found in Lawrence, KS. This isn’t just another year’s version of the Rogue – it’s the e-POWER hybrid, and it’s going to knock your socks off!

The gas-only versions of the 2027 Rogue won’t be released until mid-2027, and the manufacturer hasn’t yet released a lot of information on what to expect, so we’ll focus here on the e-POWER, which Nissan has moved up to late 2026 for its debut.

Nissan has sold nearly 4 million EVs worldwide over the last decade – but this e-POWER hybrid is a third-generation wonder, and is sure to leave its competition behind in the U.S. The drivetrain alone puts it in a class of its own.

The 2027 Nissan Rogue e-POWER Drivetrain

One of the most impactive features of the 2027 Rogue e-POWER is its drivetrain. The 1.5L turbocharged engine is not mechanically connected to the wheels. Instead, it acts as a generator, providing electrical current to keep the lithium-ion battery charged. Each axle has its own electrical motor, driven by an inverter – this provides a number of benefits.

• Because the wheels are driven solely by electrical motors, acceleration, deceleration, and stopping is much smoother.
• With recharging no longer a concern, there’s no need to ever stop and plug your hybrid in for charging. Range isn’t an issue – simply find a typical gas station, top off your tank and keep driving.
• There is no traditional gearshift – only a P-R-N-D selector button on the instrument panel. Your accelerator pedal is your interface. You can accelerate, decelerate, and stop via that pedal, with none of the jolts sometimes present when other hybrids’ engines engage or disengage. The new 2027 Rogue’s e-Pedal and B-Mode Regenerative Braking makes your ride smoother and contributes significantly to keeping the battery charged.
• Because the lower speeds of city/urban driving place less demand on the battery, the engine will only run occasionally. Conversely, driving at highway speeds will require the engine to run more. That results in higher gas mileage in the city – estimated to be 40 to 41 MPG, as opposed to 37 to 38 MPG on the highway. This translates to the 2027 Rogue e-POWER’s mileage being roughly 20% better than the gas-only Rogue version.

What are the Standard Features?

The SV, SR, & Platinum trims of the 2027 Rogue e-POWER come with an impressive set of standard features, providing increased safety, comfort, and performance.

• All will have the e-POWER Powertrain and AWD described above, delivering a combined 225 hp, via Nissan’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
• They all also utilize Nissan’s e-Pedal with Smooth Stop. This is where the smooth stop comes from, with regenerative braking doing its job.
• The tech layout consists of dual 12.3-inch digital displays, one of which serves as the instrumentation panel, with the other handling the infotainment touchscreen.
• Additionally, all three trims feature the ProPILOT Assist Safety Suite, which consists of adaptive cruise control and lane centering, along with blind-spot warning/intervention, automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and driver attention monitor.
• Nissan has also included their Cold Weather Package on all three trims, which includes heat for the front seats, steering wheel and side mirrors, as well as a de-icer on the front windshield wiper.
• The standard features package is topped off with a Panoramic Moonroof, as well as Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android auto. And of course, they’ve thrown in a 15-watt magnetic wireless charger.

If that’s not enough to impress you, let’s take a look at the optional features Nissan offers on their 2027 Rogue e-POWER.

Optional Features for 2027 Rogue e-POWER

• You can upgrade to dual 14.3-inch digital displays for your Rogue’s instrument panel and infotainment screen.
• For added safety, you can opt for the Advanced ProPILOT Assist, with includes Hands-off Traffic Jam Support (hands-off driving in highway gridlock below 50 km/hr) and Auto Lane Change (this is optional on the SR, but standard on the Platinum trim).
• You may want to also consider adding the 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor, which lets the driver see all the way around the vehicle. Especially handy for intricate maneuvering, this package also provides a “transparent” through-the-floor view.
• You can add Ventilated Front and Rear Seats to the Platinum, if you like.
• Rear Automatic Emergency Braking (Rear AEB) is another safety feature you may want to add.
• Another optional feature – exclusive to the Platinum trim – is a Heads-Up Display (HUD), which projects essential driving information onto the windshield.
• Finally, for your driving pleasure, you can add the Bose Premium Audio 10-speaker sound system which is only available for the upper tier trims.

How Much Does All This Cost?

Nissan has gone the extra mile to ensure they’re providing the best possible vehicle at the best possible price. They have recently announced the following MSRPs:

• The SV starts at $35,490, with the Premium package increasing it to $37,590.
• The SR’s MSRP starts at $37,490 – increasing to $41,490 if you add the Technology Package.
• The Platinum trim starts at $43,490.

For what you get, these prices are nothing short of amazing!

We are Proud to Announce…

2026

We are proud to announce that Nissan USA has bestowed an incredible honor upon Dream Nissan Lawrence! We have received the Nissan Award of Excellence for 2026.

This isn’t just some token award for reaching a preset sales target – it’s far more than that. There are three criteria, each judged independently and a dealership must do more than simply meet or exceed a preset goal. They must out-perform nearly 900 other Nissan dealers in the country – in all three regards!

That means that to qualify for this award, we had to be in the top 15% of the more than 1,000 Nissan dealerships nationwide, in each of the following three criteria:

1. Operational standards – mastery of business management, employee training, and facility standards. Nissan takes operational standards very seriously, which is why this is one of the important measurements of a dealer’s performance; and
2. Customer satisfaction – customer satisfaction must always be exceptionally high, whether dealing with vehicle sales or repairs and maintenance issues; ­and
3. Sales performance – simply meeting or exceeding sales volume expectations isn’t enough – to qualify for the Award of Excellence, a dealer must also do so better than the majority of other dealers in the country.

Only those dealers who rank in the top 15% of dealers nationwide in all three regards receive this award. So perhaps you can understand why our entire team is stoked about having won this award for the first time. You can also bet that this is only our first – there’ll be more – bet on it!

The criteria driving this award are central principles of our business and how we define all our actions. Ensuring each of our customers has nothing but positive experiences in all their dealings with us is key to our success, as well as being a very important part of why we won this award.

So we want to thank Nissan USA for recognizing our efforts. And we also want to thank each and every one of our team members for their contributions to the effort to make Dream Nissan Lawrence worthy of this award. And of course, we also want to thank all our customers for having given us the opportunity to make their Nissan experience as positive as it could possibly be.

If you haven’t already had occasion to experience working with our team at Nissan Lawrence, come visit us. See what we have to offer in new and used vehicles, or bring your Nissan in for some expert maintenance or repairs. Enjoy a professional, efficient, and pleasant Nissan experience – you won’t regret it!

Take One for a Spin Quick – They’ll Sell Fast

Your Dream Nissan dealership in Lawrence always has some amazing deals on the lot, so if you’re thinking of a new vehicle, it’ll be well worthwhile to pay them a visit. There are still plenty of 2026 vehicles to choose from.

The 2027 models are about to hit the lot, too, and the new 2027 Z line will blow your socks off!  The 2027 Z line consists of three different trims: The Z Sport, Z Performance, and Z NISMO. All three have some impressive features, but each has its own particular niche. Let’s take a look at what they have to offer.

2027 Nissan Z Sport

The Z Sport is the base trim of the Z line, considered ideal for daily commuting and casual day trips. With its 3.0L 400hp Twin-Turbo V6, it makes both highways and mountain canyon roads a pleasure to navigate.

Depending upon your taste, you can choose either the 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters or the 6-speed manual transmission with the heavy-duty EXEDY® clutch and carbon-fiber driveshaft to deliver that horsepower to the rear-end drive axle.

It has Yokohama ADVAN Sport tires mounted on 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and 2-piston front/1-piston rear brakes on a standard sport suspension.

For safety, it employs Nissan’s Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

On the comfort side of things, the Z Sport has manually adjusted cloth seats, manual handbrake, and a 4-spoke leather steering wheel.

To make this vehicle a real attention-grabber, you can opt for the Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic paintjob, which includes the Super Black 2-tone roof.

And two new features which are included in all three trims are a new front grille profile, with a more tapered look – along with a modified rear panel – and a new fuel tank design, with specialized baffling, to stop fuel starvation during high-speed cornering.

As an added touch, Nissan has replaced its logo on the hood with a stylized “Z”.

The EPA estimated gas mileage for the 2027 Nissan Z Sport is 19 mpg city / 28 mpg highway / 22 mpg combined, with the automatic transmission or 18 mpg city / 24 mpg highway / 20 mpg combined, with the manual option.

Nissan has recently announced that the MSRP for the Z line will be starting at $44,480.

2027 Nissan Z Performance

The Z Performance is next in the lineup, and as its name implies, it is performance-oriented. It includes a number of premium technical upgrades, as well as some nice driver-assist features. And it definitely lives up to its name!

The Z Performance trim comes with the same engine as the Z Sport, but aside from the exterior appearance, that’s where the similarity ends. Let’s examine what the Z Performance brings to the table.

• As already stated, it is driven by the same 3.0L 400hp/350 lb-ft of torque Twin-Turbo V6 engine. Add to that its limited-slip differential (LSD), larger diameter monotube shock absorbers, and with the manual transmission, SynchroRev Match.
• The Performance offers the same choice of either the 6-speed manual transmission with the EXEDY® clutch and carbon-fiber driveshaft or the 9-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
• The brakes are upgraded to 14-inch front/13.8-inch rear rotors, handled by 4-piston front Akebono® calipers, so it has a very aggressive brake system.
• Nissan redesigned their 19-inch RAYS® forged aluminum-alloy wheels and mounted Bridgestone Potenza S007 performance tires on them.
• On the interior, you’ll find heated power-adjustable seats, aluminum sport pedals, and leather-appointed seating with synthetic suede inserts, available in a new tan upholstery wrap.
• For driver assistance and comfort, the Z Performance has a larger 9-inch touchscreen with integrated Navigation, 8-speaker Bose® Premium Audio system, active Noise Cancellation and Sound enhancement, as well as a cooled, magnetized 15-watt wireless device charger. It’s topped off with Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Amazon Alexa integration, and NissanConnect Services with a Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Just as with the Z Sport, you also have the option of the Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic paintjob with the black roof.

Gas mileage is identical to the Z Sport – 19 mpg city / 28 mpg highway / 22 mpg combined, with the automatic transmission or 18 mpg city / 24 mpg highway / 20 mpg combined, with the manual.

MSRP has been announced by Nissan, starting at $44,480.

2027 Nissan Z NISMO

Now we arrive at the Z NISMO, the pinnacle of performance. It’s intended for those who intend to visit the track regularly.

• Nissan applied NISMO tuning to the same 3.0L V6, extracting another 20hp and 34 lb-ft of torque. The transmission options remain the same – manual 6-speed or NISMO-tuned 9-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
• They added a V-bar underbody brace to provide high-rigidity to the chassis, achieved a 20% lower-friction in the steering rack, widened the front and rear track widths and stiffened the spring rates.
• They reduced the front-end weight by 19-lbs by providing heavy-duty 15-inch front brakes, with high-performance 2-piece rotors like those on the Nissan GT-R.
• Exclusive to the NISMO are its lightweight 19-inch RAYS® wheels – wider than those found on the Sport or Performance trims – with sticky Dunlop® SP Sport MAXX GT600 tires.
• The rear spoiler has been redesigned to a 3-piece, an extended front nosepiece has been added, as well as a unique rear bumper and side sills. There’s also red exterior pinstriping and black “katana blade” roof trim.
• In the cabin, you’ll find manual Recaro® bucket seats in leather and Alcantara, the steering wheel Alcantara-wrapped with a red center stripe, and unique red graphics on the digital gauge cluster, as well as a cooled magnetic wireless charger.

Nissan has taken street-legal sports cars to new heights with their 2027 Z NISMO. You’ll agree before you even finish your test drive.

The 2027 Z NISMO’s EPA-estimated mileage is 17 mpg city / 24 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined, but the manual estimation is still pending. Various reviewers agree it’s likely to come in at about 18 mpg combined.

The Z-line’s MSRP is starting at $44,480.

If you’re eager to take the Z NISMO for a test spin, you might want to stop by your local dealership and sign up for a test drive as soon as they arrive, as they aren’t likely to last long on the lot. Nissan says to expect them to arrive at dealerships in mid-July.

Servicing Your Vehicle Made Easy

Any mechanic will tell you that the best way to ensure a long service life for your vehicle is to ensure that prescribed periodic maintenance is performed as recommended. To make this easier for Nissan owners, your local dealer is running a few service specials with significant discounts.

Whether it’s just time for a scheduled oil change, your brakes are slipping or pulling to one side, or your car will only start after several minutes of cranking it over, Dream Nissan Lawrence has a way for you to save money.

Proper Lubrication is Critical

Engine oil has a lifespan that can be affected by contaminants, high temperatures, or age, so it’s essential to ensure that your oil is clean and not beyond its recommended use since the last oil change. Failing to do so can quickly result in metal-on-metal wear, which can cause serious damage to your engine.

Dream Nissan Lawrence is offering packages of three oil & filter changes for $179.25, which lets you lock in the current price for your next three oil changes. You just have the coupon emailed to you, and present it at your dealership when they write up your service order. This coupon represents a savings of $120, even at today’s prices – and who knows how the economy will act a year or so down the road? Show your wallet – and your Nissan – how much you care.

They also have another oil/filter change coupon for five oil & filter changes for $298.75 – a $200 savings, even without any future cost increases. Who wouldn’t rather pay $300, instead of $500? Either of these coupons are well worth grabbing.

Good Brakes Save Lives

Reliable brakes are essential, and they nearly always offer signs of developing issues before the situation gets critical. Squealing, pulsing, pulling to one side, fading, or just not stopping your vehicle as quickly as they should – these are signs of impending failure, and ignoring them can put you and your loved ones at risk. Even if your brakes seem fine to you, a periodic inspection is always a good idea.

One of the most common issues encountered with brakes is wear of the brake pads, which is precisely where initial wear and tear should appear. An inspection of the pads can detect excessive wear, so they can be replaced. Dream Nissan Lawrence is currently offering a coupon to discount their brake service by $35.

That service consists of a thorough inspection of the pads, calipers, wheel cylinders and master cylinder, including the hydraulic lines, to identify any issues, whether existing or developing. They also replace the front or rear brake pads and can make any other repairs or adjustments that are necessary.

Don’t tempt fate. Take advantage of the savings provided by this coupon and the peace of mind you’ll have by knowing your brakes will do their job as designed.

Repairs Can Be Costly

Most of us have experienced the annoyance of something on our vehicle failing. Maybe your transmission started making a loud clunking sound when shifting, or your battery wouldn’t charge when driving. Leaking radiators, squeaking when you turn the steering wheel, flickering lights, or simply a
“Check Engine” light on your dashboard – any of these, and many more things, can indicate that some repairs may be necessary.

And we all know that such things tend to occur at the least opportune time. Maybe you’re pressed for time, or perhaps your wallet is a bit stressed. But such things can rarely wait to be addressed.

Your Nissan dealer may not be able to help you overcome the timing issue, but they can help you ease the financial impact. They’re currently offering a $75 discount coupon for vehicle repairs, which can ease your stress level somewhat.

Request your coupon be emailed to you now and schedule that repair your Nissan deserves. You – and your wallet – will be glad you did! Again, that link is service specials.

The 2026 Nissan Rogue – Something for Everyone

SUVs offer something no other vehicle can – the versatility of a vehicle that’s well suited for a day at the beach, a run to the market, or a week of camping in the mountains. For a family that is often on the go, the Nissan Rogue is the ideal solution. It’s comfortable, economical, flexible, and easy on the eyes!

Nissan outdid itself with the 2026 Rogue line. There are six different trims, each with its own distinct set of features. (And there’s a special surprise at the end of this post.)

2026 Nissan Rogue S

The 2026 Nissan Rogue S trim is the baseline of the line, with an impressive list of standard features. It boasts…

• 60-40 split rear seating

Optional features

Options for this trim are limited, in order to keep the price of this base model as low as possible. Its starting MSRP is $30, 585.

2026 Nissan Rogue SV

For those who prefer a few more amenities, the next trim up in the line is the Rogue SV. It shares all the Rogue S’s standard features, as well as 18-inch alloy wheels, a power liftgate, and LED headlights with daytime running lights. It also includes heated front seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, advanced driver assistance features, and remote engine start.

You can get either cloth or leatherette seating for 5 passengers and you should find the 36.5 cubic feet of cargo space very accommodating. This model’s MSRP starts at $31,585.

2026 Nissan Rogue Dark Armor

The Rogue Dark Armor goes to the next level, with 19-inch gloss black alloy wheels. Its obsidian green exterior with all exterior accents blacked out (even the mirror caps and front pillars) give it a striking appearance. Its upholstery is black leatherette with silver stitching and it has a panoramic moonroof. This model is sure to turn some heads! And its starting MSRP of $36,190 makes it very accessible.

2026 Nissan Rogue Rock Creek

For the adventuresome owners, the Rock Creek model will fill the bill nicely. It features all-wheel drive, special off-road suspension, hill descent control, and all-terrain tires with 17-inch alloy wheels. For light off-road adventures, it’s ideal. It also has a stunning appearance, with a gloss black grill, Lava Red accents, a black roof rack, and exclusive badging. Another model that will attract many admiring glances.

On top of all the standard features of the Rogue S and SV trims, the Rock Creek’s additional options make its starting MSRP of $33,990 hard to believe.

2026 Nissan Rogue SL

Getting close to the top of the line, the Rogue SL brings several premium options to the table, in addition to all the standard features of the S and SV.

Refined interior cabin materials, including leather seating, give the Rogue SL an elegant feel. The 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and 19-inch alloy wheels add to its allure. LED turn signal indicators on the exterior mirrors and Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist gives more support to the driver, while its starting MSRP of $35,990 make it a bargain.

2026 Nissan Rogue Platinum

The Rogue Platinum is the top of the Rogue lineup. In addition to all the standard Rogue features, it provides a number of premium features, as well. A 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a 10.8-inch heads-up display, and Bose Premium Audio make the cabin an amazing control center, while the 360-degree camera and dual-panel panoramic moonroof extend the driver’s perception of the exterior. This model has a starting MSRP of $38,990.

Every Rogue trim offers great performance and value, so now’s a great time visit your local Nissan dealer and take one for a spin.

Oh, and the special surprise we mentioned?

Move fast enough and you can take advantage of the 0% APR financing for 60 months! How’s that for special?

The 2026 Nissan Kicks Are Something to Brag About!

As crossover SUVs go, it’s tough to beat the 2026 Kicks for versatility, comfort, and affordability – and Nissan proves that with its three 2026 trim models, the Kicks S, SV, and SR. An impressive array of standard features, with a number of very attractive options, makes the Nissan Kicks SUV one of the most popular crossover SUVS around.

Perhaps we should first explain the crossover concept, to ensure everyone understands the benefits.

A crossover is defined by its unibody construction, meaning that the body and frame are integrated into a single piece. This design makes crossovers lighter, providing better fuel economy, a smoother ride, and more agile handling while still maintaining a higher seating position.

2026 Nissan Kicks S

The base model Kicks is the Nissan Kicks S, and like its trim model brethren, it offers optional AWD. Its other standard features include:

• 2-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine, delivering 141 hp/140 lb-ft of torque

As stated, the Kicks S is FWD, but can be ordered with optional AWD. Other options include an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and Remote Activated Puddle Lights – part of the Exterior Ground Lighting w/Logo. It also provides a 7-inch multifunction information display and 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers.

You may be thinking it’s tough to beat such an impressive collection of features, especially with an MSRP of only $22,430. Let’s take a look at the next trim model up, then – the Nissan Kicks SV.

2026 Nissan Kicks SV

The Kicks SV shares all the standard features of the Kicks S trim model, but includes a few upgrades. For instance, 17-inch wheels, rather than 16-inch, Rear Sonar System, wireless charging in front, Intelligent Around View® Monitor, premium cloth seat trim, Nissan Intelligent Key®, and front-door request switch are additional standard features. The SV’s MSRP is just $24,170.

• Powered Moonroof Sunshade
• Heated Driver and Passenger Mirrors
• Heated Front Seats for Driver and Passenger
• Auto-dimming Rear-view Mirror
• Front Dash Cam and Cabin Cam – part of Dual Camera Drive Recorder
• NissanConnect® Services Powered by SiriusXM®

As you can see, the Kicks SV offers quite a lot more features than the Kicks S, at a very slight increase in MSRP. But as they say, ‘you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!’ Let’s check out the Kicks SR!

2026 Nissan Kicks SR (FWD & AWD)

As the top tier of the Nissan Kicks, it stands to reason that the Kicks SR provides some significant upgrades. Take a look at what the SR offers, in addition to the standard features of the Kicks S and SV:

• 19-inch Aluminum-alloy Wheels, machined w/painted accents
• Intelligent Trace Control (I-TC) brake actuated Limited-slip Differential
• Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
• Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention® (I-BSI)
• Front & Rear Sonar System

So when are you going to head to your local dealership for a test drive?

The 2026 Nissan Altima is Everything a Family Sedan Should Be

If a family sedan is what you’re looking for, look no further. The 2026 Nissan Altima delivers comfort, economy, and safety that very few other manufacturers can claim. The Nissan Altima comes in two different trim models, with an additional two Special Editions.

First is the base model – the Altima SV. Let’s take a peek at the Nissan Altima car’s standard features:
