Nissan has unveiled a sweeping recovery plan as it works to reverse losses and restore profitability. Under new leadership, the company will close seven factories, cut 20,000 jobs, and reduce its global model range from 56 to 45 vehicles to focus on more profitable products. At the same time, Nissan presented a renewed lineup that includes updated crossovers, the return of iconic nameplates, and a commitment to integrate artificial intelligence driven autonomous capabilities into most future models. The company is targeting significant sales growth in Japan, China, and the United States.

A central highlight is the next generation Juke, which will become a fully electric compact crossover built in the United Kingdom. While technical details remain limited, it is expected to share an electric architecture with Renault models, helping to lower development costs. The X Trail will also be refreshed, continuing with an advanced hybrid system in which a gasoline engine charges the battery while electric motors drive the wheels, a setup Nissan hopes will become more price competitive with higher production volumes.

Nissan also confirmed the return of the rugged Xterra sport utility vehicle, planned with a ladder frame chassis, a six cylinder engine, and a hybrid option aimed at key markets. In addition, a new generation of the Skyline sports sedan is in development, potentially expanding beyond Japan as Nissan looks to leverage its heritage models to rebuild its global standing.
