Nissan has officially announced that the Altima sedan will not be discontinued in the near future, Motor1 reports.. Thus, the automaker denied information that previously appeared in the media about the end of the model’s life cycle. In a comment to Motor1, a Nissan spokesperson said the Altima remains an important part of the American lineup and that the company will introduce the 2027 Nissan Altima later this year.. Nissan notes that it intends to further develop the segment of passenger sedans, offering customers affordable cars with modern comfort technologies, multimedia and safety systems.. The company cited the new 2026 Nissan Sentra as an example of this approach.. At the same time, the automaker confirmed that it is working on a major overhaul of its model range in the United States.. Previously, Nissan America Senior Vice President Ponz Pandikoutira said in an interview with WardsAuto that the Altima could give way to a new generation Sentra, which should become more mature and attractive to a wider audience.. However, after these reports appeared, Nissan officially denied information about the cessation of Altima production. At the same time, the reduction of the model range continues. After the 2025 model year, the compact Nissan Versa will leave the American market, while production of the flagship Maxima ended after the 2023 model year.. At the same time, Versa continues to be sold in other markets around the world, where the new generation of the model has already debuted. Nissan also abandoned the previously announced project of two American-made electric sedans.. Instead, a new generation of Nissan Skyline will debut this winter. A premium Infiniti model for North America will also be created on its basis.. According to preliminary information, the car may receive rear-wheel drive, a manual transmission and a twin-turbo V6 engine from the Nissan Z sports coupe. A version with an automatic transmission is also expected, while the use of a CVT has already been ruled out.. Another change will be the elimination of the plug-in hybrid Rogue, which only recently entered the US market as a 2026 model..

Nissan explained that this crossover, based on the Mitsubishi Outlander, was considered as a temporary solution until the appearance of the new Rogue E-Power, which is scheduled to launch for the 2027 model year.. In addition, the company confirmed the revival of the Xterra SUV. The new model will share a body-on-frame platform with the Frontier pickup and several other upcoming Nissan and Infiniti SUVs.. It is expected that the car will be equipped with a V6 petrol engine, and in the future it may also receive a hybrid powertrain. .
