In recent months, the global automotive sector has been facing significant challenges, primarily driven by changing US trade policy and dynamic internal strategies among major automakers. One of the most high-profile developments has been Nissan’s $7201.T announcement to cut production of its flagship Rogue SUV at its Kyushu plant in Japan. This move is a direct response to the newly imposed 25% US import tariffs on foreign-made cars and may have wide-reaching consequences not only for Nissan but for the broader auto industry as well.

Japanese automotive giant Nissan Motor Co. recently announced that it will halt new orders for two Infiniti SUV models, the QX50 and QX55, in the United States. The decision comes as a direct response to the high tariffs on vehicles imported into the US, imposed during Donald Trump’s presidency. This move is expected to significantly reduce production at the COMPAS plant, a joint venture between Nissan and Mercedes-Benz in Mexico. Production for other international markets, however, will continue as planned.
