Four new Nissan models due in next 18 months

Nissan says it plans to introduce four new vehicles to the Australian market in the next 18 months.

This comes on the back of the Japanese brand’s new-model offensive in the second half of 2022, which saw new generations of the Nissan Qashqai, X-Trail and Pathfinder SUVs, a hybrid ‘e-Power’ version of the X-Trail, and the new Z sports car.

Speaking to media at the launch of the hybrid X-Trail e-Power, Nissan Australia managing director Adam Paterson said: “In the next 18 months we’ll have another four new products in Nissan showrooms.”

Mr Paterson’s comments refer to four new vehicles in addition to the four new models introduced by Nissan in 2022: the Nissan Z sports car, Nissan Pathfinder large SUV, Nissan X-Trail medium SUV, and Nissan Qashqai small SUV.

This leaves two unknown slots on Nissan’s launch calendar. Mr Paterson wouldn’t be drawn on what to expect when asked by Drive.

“There [are] two that have been confirmed, and the other two we’re not going to confirm. Those two that we’ve confirmed are Patrol Warrior and … e-Power Qashqai.”

When asked by Drive, Mr Paterson refused to comment on timing for the next-generation Navara, saying: “I still think the current facelift is quite fresh. [Navara] Warrior is a little over a year old, which is still fairly fresh.

“There’s been lots of animation to the product in the market to make it different than perhaps it was first launched with.”
