Nissan Streamlines Lineup, Debuts Rogue Hybrid and Juke EV, Confirms Xterra Return

The plan concentrates spending on shared platforms for high‑volume models to regain competitiveness.

Overview

  • At Nissan’s Vision event on Tuesday, the company said it will cut its global lineup from 56 to 45 models and revealed the 2027 Rogue/X‑Trail hybrid and a new Juke EV.
  • The Rogue brings Nissan’s e‑Power to the U.S., a series hybrid that uses a gas engine as a generator while electric motors drive the wheels for EV‑like response without plugging in.
  • Nissan confirmed the Xterra’s return as a U.S.-built, body‑on‑frame SUV with V6 and V6 hybrid power, targeting a late‑2028 launch on a platform that could spawn more models.
  • The strategy aims to concentrate about 80% of sales into three core vehicle families and targets one million annual sales in the U.S. and Canada by 2030.
  • Infiniti is positioned as a growth pillar with a midsize hybrid SUV, a V6 performance sedan, and two large hybrid SUVs in development, and Nissan plans AI‑driven driver assist that targets end‑to‑end autonomy on the next Elgrand by the end of fiscal 2027.
