According to reports, the next-generation Nissan X-Trail may be assembled primarily in Japan to cut production costs. Currently, the Nissan X-Trail is mainly produced in the US and Japan.
Unfavorable foreign exchange rates have prompted Nissan to increase production in Japan, reducing production costs by approximately 20% compared to continuing the same output in the US.
As per plans, the new Nissan X-Trail will be launched globally in 2027. It is expected to feature a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, offering better fuel efficiency than the current e-Power hybrid model.
The Nissan plant in the US will then focus on producing the standard version with an internal combustion engine, while the two hybrid variants may be exclusively manufactured in Japan to reduce costs.
Nissan’s decision to produce the X-Trail mostly in Japan could pave the way for the model’s return to the Vietnamese market.
Currently, the Nissan X-Trail is also manufactured in China and Taiwan, but these markets have unique versions, making it challenging to export to Vietnam.
The Nissan X-Trail is considered Nissan’s flagship SUV, once closely competing with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Nissan’s canceled merger with Honda has left the company in a challenging position, making the X-Trail a crucial model to boost sales and revive the brand.
