Nissan, Infiniti Outline Plans for New Models, Tech Updates Through 2027
Nissan is set to introduce more than 10 new and refreshed models through 2027. The upcoming lineup will include a redesigned Nissan Leaf, what it says is its first North American plug-in hybrid in a version of the Rogue, and the introduction of the automaker’s third-generation e-Power hybrid system. Infiniti, Nissan’s luxury arm, will also expand its portfolio with new and refreshed luxury SUVs.

What Changes Are Coming for Nissan and Infiniti’s Lineups?
An all-new Leaf, arriving later in 2025, transitions to a crossover design from the previous hatchback and will use a version of the Ariya’s platform. The third-gen electric vehicle will feature 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic moonroof and, for the first time, a North American Charging Standard port, giving owners access to Tesla’s Supercharger network.
Alongside the Leaf, Nissan’s first PHEV for North America will debut as a new version of the Rogue compact SUV. The make’s top-selling Sentra sedan will also see a full redesign, and the mid-size Pathfinder SUV will receive a refresh. In addition, Infiniti will update its three-row QX60 SUV and add a new Sport Package to the full-size QX80. The luxury brand will also debut the all-new QX65, a two-row mid-size coupe crossover inspired by the original Infiniti FX. All are slated for later in 2025.
In 2026, Nissan will introduce the fourth-gen Rogue, which will offer multiple powertrain options, including the latest iteration of the marque’s e-Power hybrid system, a PHEV and the traditional gas-engine version. Nissan says the new hybrid system aims to improve fuel efficiency by up to 15% at high speeds while reducing noise and vibration and lowering emissions. The system will use a new 1.5-liter engine and share components with Nissan’s EV powertrain.
Further down the road, Nissan expects to begin producing an all-new, all-electric adventure-focused SUV in Canton, Miss., in 2027, and Infiniti plans to debut a new electric luxury SUV in 2028. Further details about the individual models will follow closer to their respective release dates.
