Nissan is launching 30 new models by 2027
16 are electrified
The Nissan Motor Company’s next three years will be very busy, and they too will keep us busy with the number of products they intend to introduce.
The Japanese automaker has revealed its business plan called “The Arc”. Under this initiative, Nissan is looking to refresh its lineup by launching 30 models globally. Yes, you read that right. That’s like 10 models a year for the next three years.
In addition, those 30 models won’t all be electrified either. Nissan said only 16 of those will be electrified, while 14 will still be purely ICE models. Nissan believes this balanced product portfolio should be better suited to meet diversified customer needs, especially since the pace of electrification differs depending on the market.
The 30 models shall be scattered across key regions and markets, such as the Americas, China, Japan, Africa, Middle East, India, Europe and Oceania.
In Nissan’s home market, the automaker plans to refresh 80% of its passenger model lineup by launching five all-new models, and achieve 70% electrification. However, there was no mention of the next-generation GT-R just yet.
In the Middle East, there will be five all-new SUV models by 2027; this should include the all-new Patrol Y63. Meanwhile, Nissan is tapping India as its hub for exports, along with launching three-all new models as well.
But perhaps, the one we should watch out for is what Nissan is launching in the Oceania region. That includes the ASEAN region and Australia. In this region, Nissan will launch a 1-ton pickup and introduce a C-segment crossover EV.
If we’re right about this one, Nissan could be talking about the all-new Navara that will share its bits with the Mitsubishi Triton as the 1-ton pickup, while the C-segment crossover EV could be the Ariya.
Nissan believes with this aggressive model launch plan, the automaker could reach additional 1-million unit sales compared to fiscal year 2023 and operating profit margin of more than 6% by end of fiscal year 2026.
