Nissan Motor Company is set to trim at least 10 per cent of its global model line-up by March 31, 2022, in a bid to streamline production and boost profitability amidst dwindling sales.

Nissan's Nismo is headed for an electric future, with the brand's executives saying "there's no question"the performance-focused sub-brand will be electrified.Nissan Australia's managing director, Stephen Lester, has told CarsGuide that his brand's

Nissan has unveiled a 50th anniversary edition 370Z sports coupe at the New York motor show.The edition is in celebration of the first ‘Z’ car, the Datsun 240Z (known in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z) which was first released in 1969 as a halo car in Nissan’s range.The limited edition 370Z which is set to arrive in the second half of 2019 in Australia has a heavy US-market tilt as it wears a homage livery to the Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) 240Z which helped solidify the Z car’s image in the US.For the US market, the 50th Anniversary Edition will be available across all four trim levels, although confirmation on whether it will be available on both of Australia’s base and Nismo trims is yet to be confirmed.Aside from the livery, the 50th Anniversary Edition will include identifying badges, bi-xenon headlights, LED DRLs, bespoke 19-inch lightweight alloy wheels forged by RAYS, leather seat trim with with 50th Anniversary logos and red highlights, dark chrome kick plates as well as synthetic suede door inserts and steering wheel.There are no power tweaks for the 3.7-litre V6 which continues to produce 250kW/366Nm, or the transmission which continues to be available as either an auto-rev matching six-speed manual or auto rev-matching seven-speed auto. The 50th Anniversary Edition will come with Bridgestone Potenza S007 tyres as standard.

Nissan Australia has announced the addition of three new limited-edition N-Sport model lines to be offered on the X-Trail, Pathfinder and 370Z.

Nissan Australia managing director Stephen Lester has confirmed the company’s focus in Australia will move towards EVs and SUVs, having today announced Nissan will pull out of the Supercars championship at the end of 2018.Citing that there are “other priorities” and that “strategies have changed” for Nissan Australia, Lester said the brand will put the spotlight on positioning itself as a technology leader.“Since my arrival we’ve taken stock of the market and what the possibilities would be,” Lester said. “There are currently no plans to consider other vehicles for racing in Supercars. We have aligned our strategy to focus on EVs, SUVs and Nissan Intelligent Mobility.”The company had been umming and ahhing on the potential for cars like its Leaf EV to succeed in the local market, but Lester stated the Leaf will come here because “the product strategy continues to evolve”.“We will explore all opportunities - this is a fantastic brand of ours, and where we see products that we see fit for Australian consumers we will be more than happy to offer them in Australia,” Lester said.Whether that could mean the relaunch of a full range of passenger cars, rather than the pared back line-up of today which consists of several SUVs, the Navara ute range and two sports cars - the 370Z and GT-R - remains to be seen.The question was put to Lester as to whether the company is considering models such as the Micra, Pulsar and Altima for relaunch locally, but he wasn’t willing to state categorically what the plans are.“As product plans go, it is a fluid process. My personal direction is not to abandon passenger cars. And we will see the Nissan Leaf on sale later this fiscal year, and from that you can see we will bring passenger cars back to the market.“With all product decisions, we will entertain opportunities to bring those vehicles to market. Whether that means the new-generation Altima will come or not is yet to be confirmed.”The decision for Nissan to leave Supercars won't mean there won't be an Altima on the track next year. The Kelly Bros racing team will continue with the mid-sized Nissan sedan as its racer in 2019, but it won't be officially backed by Nissan.The Altima - like the Falcon and previous-gen Commodore - aren't available for consumers to buy anymore. Nissan put the axe to Altima in April 2017, as well as chopping the Pulsar from its ranks.

Pricing remains as is but the Nissan 370Z gains some styling flourishes.

Nissan's push into electrification continues to gather pace with the launch not only of the new battery-only Leaf but further products using the company's e-Power platform.
