Nissan Finally Breaks Two-Year Profit Streak Amid Industry Turbulence

Nissan posts its first quarterly net profit in two years (about $23.9 million) for the quarter ending June, aided by restructuring and cost cuts, while keeping its full-year forecast and outlining 20,000 job cuts by 2028; Toyota looks to a fifth straight quarterly profit decline amid a weak yen and earthquake disruptions, with roughly $7.04 billion expected and ongoing production challenges; Stellantis UAW member dies in a renovation-related accident in Center Line, Michigan; Ram recalls 1.5 million 1500 pickups globally for faulty second-row seatbelt anchors; gas prices remain flat around $4.10 per gallon.

Nissan’s Brake Caliper Colors Decode Braking Power From Street to Track

Nissan’s Brake Caliper Colors Decode Braking Power From Street to Track

Nissan treats brake caliper color as a live code for braking performance: silver for everyday street use, red for upgraded Z Performance brakes, a brighter red for Z Nismo with GT-R hardware, and yellow for carbon‑ceramic, track‑ready systems (not currently sold on new Nissans). The color system, dating to the R34 GT-R era, mirrors similar branding in Porsche’s lineup and signals how hard a car’s brakes can be pushed beyond standard street use.

Oil Crunch Forces Nissan to Gate Oil Supply and Pick Winners at The Dealerships

Nissan is reportedly rationing its Nissan-specific 5W-30 and 0W-20 synthetic oils, slash­ing dealership supplies to about 70% and 55% of last year’s levels, and instructing dealers to prioritize warranty, recall, and prepaid maintenance uses. Toyota faces similar substitution guidance, as base-oil shortages threaten broader supply chains; industry groups warn Gulf-region Group III base oils could run dry by June and the shortage could persist into 2027, risking new-vehicle production.

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.

Nissan's 2027 Rogue E-Power Delivers EV Feel With Hybrid Range

The 2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid E-Power introduces Nissan's first all-new Rogue with an extended-range EV (EREV) powertrain: electric motors drive the wheels with a small turbocharged engine charging the battery, and the gas engine can also power the motors if needed, delivering an EV-like drive without range anxiety and aiming to lead the lineup before a pure gas Rogue arrives.

Nissan Bets on AI, Hybrids, and a Bold Xterra Comeback

Nissan Bets on AI, Hybrids, and a Bold Xterra Comeback

Nissan outlined a long-term plan centered on AI Drive Technology to power about 90% of its lineup (first shown in the Japan-market Elgrand with ProPilot updates expected by 2027), and a push into electrification with a 2027 Rogue/X-Trail E-Power hybrid in the US featuring a 42% thermal efficiency. The automaker officially confirms the return of the Xterra in 2028 as a body-on-frame, ‘Heartbeat’ model, possibly skipping a hybrid four-cylinder for a V6, with manual transmission unlikely. Alongside new models, Nissan will shrink its global lineup from over 60 to ~45 models, focusing on core SUVs like the Rogue, and aiming for about 1 million US/Canada sales annually by 2030 and 550,000 in Japan. CEO Ivan Espinosa frames this as a move beyond the Re:Nissan recovery with a focus on mobility intelligence and customer experience.

Nissan debuts US-first plugless e-Power series hybrid for Rogue

Nissan is bringing its plugless e-Power series-hybrid to the U.S. in a Rogue variant, using a gasoline engine as a generator to power electric motors for EV-like driving without a plug. The system, now in its third generation, features a larger turbo engine and updated packaging to appeal to American buyers, with expansion to other models possible later. While city driving historically yields strong mpg (Rogue Sport above 40 mpg cited), the e-Power is less efficient at higher speeds and Nissan has not yet released pricing or final fuel-economy figures.

Nissan Delays Its Cheapest Leaf Variant Until 2027 Amid EV Market Shifts

Nissan has confirmed that the entry‑level Leaf S with a smaller 52 kWh battery and 174‑hp drivetrain will not launch in the U.S. for the 2026 model year, with no firm timeline for 2027. While the Leaf remains Nissan’s most affordable EV, the delay—driven by market dynamics, tariffs, and competition—casts doubt on when a cheaper Leaf might reappear, and the company has kept its future battery configurations under review.

Nissan to Cease Operations at Oppama Plant by 2028

Nissan is closing its iconic Oppama plant as part of a difficult restructuring under CEO Ivan Espinosa, reflecting a complex mix of internal and external factors contributing to the company's challenges. The decision, while necessary for Nissan's future, will negatively impact workers and the local community, raising questions about leadership responsibility and corporate blame. Meanwhile, inflation is easing partly due to declining car prices, Tesla faces a trial over Autopilot claims, and Stellantis is regaining former employees after leadership changes.
