Nissan plans to increase production in the US with the launch of the 2027 Rogue crossover SUV and its hybrid version. Christian Meunier, chairman of Nissan America, said that the company's production capacity in the US is currently close to full capacity, and the next step is to consider increasing it to a three-shift system. If both assembly plants in Tennessee and Mississippi increase the third shift, Nissan's annual production in the US is expected to increase from about 487,000 vehicles in 2025 to about 1 million vehicles. Nissan plans to start production of the Rogue e-POWER hybrid model in the US next year, and will import it from Japan before that. e-POWER uses a tandem hybrid system, where the engine generates electricity and the motor directly drives the wheels. Nissan hopes to achieve 80% of US sales produced locally by 2030, and increase annual sales in the US market to 1 million units. The company said that the Rogue hybrid will directly compete with popular hybrid models such as the Toyota RAv4 and Honda CR-V.
