Nissan has announced plans to shut down its flagship Oppama plant in Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, by the end of the 2027 fiscal year.

The automaker went on to note their Re:Nissan plan calls for cutting global production capacity from 3.5 million units to 2.5 million units – excluding China. The company is hopeful that these cuts can increase plant utilization rates to around 100%. Nissan added they’ve been “considering the consolidation of production sites from 17 to 10.”

Nissan Motor has suspended U.S. production of three vehicle models for Canada amid mutual tariffs imposed by the U.S. and Canada on auto imports.

The NHTSA has officially closed its investigation into over 2 million Nissan vehicles for rear suspension arm issues without issuing a recall, citing a drop in complaints and Nissan’s extended warranty coverage.

The plant would also build two new truck-based SUVs, which would lean on the next-generation Frontier. One of these is rumored to be an Xterra revival, which would be offered with a plug-in hybrid or ePower system. An Infiniti variant is also expected and it would presumably battle the Lexus GX as a modern-day successor to the QX4.

Nissan will further delay the production of three all-new fully electric SUVs at its Canton, Mississippi plant, marking a three-year postponement from the originally planned 2025 debut.

Nissan is in talks to supply cars to Honda in the United States, which would let the struggling Japanese automaker put to use an under-utilised American plant, the Nikkei newspaper said on Friday, without citing sources.
