Nissan and INFINITI Unveil Bold New Models and Next-Gen Technologies for Global Customers

Nissan has unveiled a major global product push, announcing a broad lineup of new and refreshed models set to launch in FY25 and FY26.

The initiative includes next-gen EVs, plug-in hybrids, advanced internal combustion engines, and the third-generation e-POWER system, all aimed at improving performance, expanding customer options, and driving sustainable growth.

The all-new Nissan LEAF will debut as a sleek, family-friendly crossover with improved range, a Tesla-compatible NACS port (in North America), and upgraded features like 19-inch wheels and a panoramic moonroof. It will ride on the CMF-EV platform and launch first in the U.S. and Canada in FY25.

Nissan’s third-gen e-POWER, arriving first in Europe on the Qashqai in FY25, delivers better efficiency, lower emissions, and a quieter ride.

It uses a 1.5L engine as a generator for an electric motor-powered drive, offering an EV-like feel without range anxiety. The system will also be introduced in the next-gen Rogue (North America) and a new minivan (Japan) in FY26.
