Nissan Unveils Four-Family, AI-Driven Lineup Strategy
Nissan unveiled a long-term plan to trim its lineup from 56 to 45 models by grouping cars into four families—Heartbeat, Core, Growth, and Partner—while protecting icons like the Z and GT-R. The strategy emphasizes shared platforms and AI across up to 90% of its lineup, focuses on the U.S., Japan, and China, and targets about 1 million U.S. vehicle sales annually by 2030, with upcoming entries like a next Xterra, the Skyline/Infiniti Q50, and potential partner models.
