Nissan

The old adage that you can’t cut your way to profitability doesn’t apply to Nissan apparently as the Japanese automaker revised its 2025 fiscal year earnings forecast from a $377 million loss to a $314 million operating profit by cutting and controlling costs and favorable exchange rates.

While Nissan is in the process of reviving the GT-R, there’s an internal struggle about its ongoing development. As a global vehicle, the car has to appease various government regulations and the automaker seems extremely worried about trying to hit a constantly moving target.

Nissan Xterra fans continue to enjoy good news. The latest being the automaker aims to bring back the off-roader with a starting price less than $40,000. That should help Nissan meet its goal of selling 50,000 of the utes annually.

While revealing the next step in its recovery plan, Nissan revealed the all-new 2027 Rogue while confirming what had basically been previously announced: the Xterra is coming back in the U.S.

Nissan plans to cut the dead weight from its vehicle portfolio, refocus the remaining vehicles around three core groups, and produce AI-Defined Vehicles to meet consumer demands as part of its latest recovery plan, officials revealed Monday night.

Nissan may be struggling these days, but the brand’s still got some fight left as it revealed an updated version of its popular Nissan Z for 2027, including a Nismo model with a six-speed manual transmission.

Friend of the site Connie Peters has a review of the 2026 Nissan Sentra SR for you all.

Today's UCOTD is a 2011 Nissan XTerra Pro-4X.

New details about the 2028 Nissan Xterra have emerged after the automaker previewed the model in Las Vegas to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) earlier this week. The event also revealed that the forthcoming Xterra won’t be Nissan’s only new body-on-frame model.

As if Nissan isn’t having a rough enough time these days, Suzuki just kicked sand in Nissan’s face, outselling its fellow Japanese automaker to become the world’s third-largest automaker in 2025.

Sales numbers from the fourth quarter of 2025 have begun to trickle in. Nissan had a slight boost, but Infiniti was down a tad.

We have some 2025 Nissan and Infiniti models being recalled. Armadas, Muranos, and QX80s.

Nissan's first Kicks was, unique styling aside, was a bit of a letdown. The 2025 Nissan Kicks addresses what needed to be addressed -- it's a much better effort in the inexpensive compact-crossover class.

About a month ago, I spent the better part of two days driving and eating my way around the Nashville area, courtesy of Nissan.

Why? Ostensibly, it was an opportunity to get up close and personal with two of Nissan's major manufacturing plants. But there was a subtext that cannot be ignored, due to policies emanating from over 600 miles away in Washington, D.C.

Friend of the site Connie Peters has another review for you. Today it's the 2025 Nissan Armada PRO-4X.

Nissan names its off-road friendliest truck the Pro-4X.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece suggesting that I don't want to see automakers revoke access to Apple CarPlay -- not unless they come up with a better smartphone-mirroring system.

I still stand by that -- but three separate instances of CarPlay going bye-bye when I needed it suggests that the universe is trying to tell me something. Or, at least, it's laughing in my face.

It may seem hard to believe, but Nissan has not yet offered a plug-in hybrid in the U.S. Well, enter the 2026 Nissan Rogue PHEV.

The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder is wearing some fresh new clothes.

The 2026 Nissan Sentra looks quite different than the 2025 version. Yet, underneath, it's relatively unchanged. Which leads to ask -- does this blend of new and preexisting lead to a more-desirable result or just more of the same?

Japanese automakers are considering importing U.S.-built vehicles back into Japan in a politically motivated play aimed at easing trade tensions with the Trump administration. Executives from Toyota and Nissan confirmed this week that they are looking at so-called “reverse imports,” an expensive idea that would see a small number of American-assembled vehicles sold in Japan.

It looks like the Infiniti Q50 might return. Perhaps even with an available manual transmission.

The Q50 went away, as so many other sport sedans have, due to the crossover craze. What other sedan should come back?

The world is short on sedans, especially luxury ones. It's a crossover-crazed planet and we're just living on it. But a new report suggests that the Infiniti Q50 is set to return.

The struggling automaker could use a hit.

I am in Arizona to test the 2026 Nissan Sentra -- hence the relatively late-ward shift of posts today -- and I want to know what you want to know about the car.

The 2001 Nissan Silvia Spec R S15 is a car that has become synonymous with drift culture, and for good reason. With its powerful engine and rear-wheel drive layout, it's a drift machine that has captured the hearts of car enthusiasts around the world.

Nissan hasn’t sold the Xterra in a decade, which is surprising, given off-road SUVs’ popularity in North America. Rumors have swirled around the Xterra’s return for years, and it now appears ready for another go. The automaker confirmed that a new Xterra is coming, and we have a few details.

We're going for cheap hatchback wheels today with this 2008 Nissan Versa S.

Step into the world of Japanese automotive royalty with this deep dive into the iconic 2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34—a machine that redefined performance and style in the late ’90s and early 2000s and continues to dominate hearts today.

Nissan has a new Leaf coming very soon, but the existing model just got hit with a recall on its way out the door. The automaker is grabbing more than 19,000 cars from the 2021 and 2022 model years for an issue that could cause the battery to overheat during fast charging.

Nissan stopped selling the Xterra almost a decade ago, and it has inexplicably avoided a revival of the popular off-roader in the time since. The automaker finally appears ready to sell some vehicles, though, as Nissan Americas chairman Christian Meunier recently confirmed the SUV’s return in an interview with Bloomberg.

We saw photos of the new Sentra a short while ago, but Nissan just released specs for the updated car. The 2026 Sentra arrives later in 2025 with a redesigned exterior, a new cabin, updated tech, and more advanced driver-assistance features.

The Nissan Ariya is dead, at least in the North American market.

The Nissan Leaf was, once upon a time, one of the mass-market electric-vehicle pioneers. Time -- and competition -- doesn't stand still, however, and the first Leaf was soon left behind as competing makes came up with better EV offerings. The second-gen car never really closed that gap. Enter the 2026 Nissan Leaf.

A new Nissan Sentra may be on the way. The automaker recently filed documents with the Chinese government, outlining the new Sylphy, which is the name given to the car in that market.

I am currently in San Diego -- I am here to drive the 2026 Nissan Leaf tomorrow. The review will post late this week, but until then, do y'all have questions you'd like me to run by Nissan internals?

The Nissan Z NISMO offers impressive specs and performance, but it’s been missing the one thing it needed to become a legitimate enthusiast car: A manual transmission. Given Nissan’s recent struggles, it was unclear if we’d ever see one in the NISMO, but that’s now changed. The automaker confirmed that the car would soon gain a six-speed manual gearbox option.

Nissan has announced that the very last R35 GT-R has rolled off the assembly line. In production for nearly two decades, the performance icon presently has no official successor.

Nissan has recently patented a new variable valve timing (VVT) mechanism for use in series hybrids. The unit looks like it could eventually be attached to the brand’s “e-Power” vehicles with an emphasis on reducing emissions upon startup. While less exciting than power adders, the system may help keep combustion vehicles on the road a while longer as government regulators keep raising the threshold on what can legally leave your tailpipe.

The Nissan Leaf received a significant update for the 2026 model year, gaining a fresh design, more range, and improved charging. Nissan recently announced pricing for the new Leaf, and surprisingly, the numbers didn’t climb very much.

It's not just Ford that has a recall involving pickup trucks today. Nissan is recalling more than 13,000 Frontiers.

Last week, we saw a 1990s Japanese car that was sold for just a single model year in the United States, and now we're going to follow it up with another. Meet an incredibly rare US-market Nissan Axxess, now residing in a self-service car graveyard between Denver and Cheyenne.

Today we bring you a 1983 Nissan 280ZX that's gotten an engine upgrade.

Nissan is currently stuck between a rock and a hard place, requiring desperate measures to get back on track. In addition to closing factories and cutting costs, the automaker recently announced plans to lean on its Formula E racing team for help developing future NISMO performance models.

Nissan is struggling, making its most important model, the Rogue, even more vital to its bottom line. Most expect the automaker to update the SUV with a new hybrid model soon, but Nissan’s 2026 Rogue announcement is free of anything other than light updates.

You may remember the massive Nissan VC Turbo engine recall from earlier this month. It was at 430,000 cars when we covered it, and the number went up to nearly 444K.

Nissan is preparing to close one of its longest-running factories, marking a painful step for the automaker as it tries to climb out of the challenges plaguing it over the past several years. While the plant was on Nissan’s targeted closure list, it has been in operation since 1961 and employs more than 2,000 workers, making the move feel significant for the company.

Last year, we admired a 1993 Nissan Sentra in the New Orleans Pull-A-Part with a final odometer reading of 320,165 miles. That car was well-traveled by cheap-econobox standards, but now I've found this slightly newer Sentra with far more miles in Colorado Springs.

Nissan is eyeing drastic measures to stay afloat, and one of them could involve Honda – again. The automaker is reportedly considering taking on some Honda truck production at its factory in Canton, MS, where the Frontier is built.

Reports are surfacing that Nissan is delaying or halting the rollout of two new electric vehicles amid the Trump administration’s decision to rescind EV tax credits.

Nissan is reportedly back in discussions with Foxconn regarding EV assembly. Previous negotiations pertained to the Taiwanese company buying a major stake in the Japanese automaker after the prospect of a Honda-Nissan merger was abandoned. Foxconn (famous for building Apple iPhones) reportedly wanted to help Nissan with production and software development, with a bend toward all-electric vehicles. Now, Foxconn is allegedly interested in utilizing Nissan-owned facilities to build its own vehicles.
