Nissan

The pickup truck market is extremely competitive. Companies like Ford and RAM often outshine Nissan, but the Japanese automaker has staked its own place amongst the greats. Trucks like the Nissan Titan have kept the company in the race. Now Nissan is gunning for the best pickup truck with its meanest machine yet, the Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior.

Remember when everyone called Target, “Tar-Jay?”. It earned the nickname by offering well-designed products at affordable prices. So maybe we should start calling the 2021 Nissan Sentra SR, the Sen-traaaahhhh, for it offers the technology one might associate with a luxury car without a hefty price tag. Better yet, Nissan’s...

Nissan may have killed the Navara in Europe, but it still lives on as the Frontier here in the States, and remains in production under the former name in Australia. Late last year, that vehicle got a new top model with the addition of the PRO-4X package, but knowing that Nissan has previously released even more extreme versions of the Navara with the Warrior name tacked on, we expected a more hardcore version to arrive soon enough. And here it is: meet the Navara PRO-4X Warrior. Sadly, this isn't a full reveal and only offers us images, but there are plenty of cool details to talk about.

Automotive giant Nissan is relying on a small farm of BCN3D printers in its Barcelona factory to fabricate 700 tools, jigs, and fixtures to date for its car assembly lines. Trim & Chassis Manufacturing Kaizen Engineer Enric Ridao and Manager of Maintenance & Engineering Facilities Carlos Rellán detailed the considerable savings that have been achieved at the Nissan Motor Ibérica Zona Franca plant — reducing lead times from one week to one day and reducing costs by a factor of up to 20.

The Nissan Motor Co. has announced the promotion of Keri Floyd Kelli to director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for its North American branch. Kelli will be responsible for developing diversity and inclusion strategies to integrate into the automaker’s business practices, directing the Executive and Advisory Diversity Councils, and cultivating sustained relationships with civic and community leaders and organizations.

The Nissan brand and its partners are in the middle of restructuring their operations. The Japanese brand will be in charge of operations in North America, while Renault will manage things in Europe. Despite the major reorganization of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, Nissan’s executive vice president Asako Hoshino assures us that the Skyline name will live on.

“This car has its own ecosystem,” Tony Angelo remarks through a mask as he blows rat turds, dirt, sticks, and what are hopefully acorns out of the engine bay of his SR20-swapped Nissan 240SX. Sitting for 14 years, the car is now mostly rust. This is what $1,000 gets you if you’re looking for an S13, I guess.

Nissan Australia has previewed the flagship 2021 Navara Pro-4X Warrior by Premcar that will soon reach dealerships. The Warrior starts at life as an already-rugged Pro-4X before it is sent to engineering company Premcar in Victoria to be outfitted with a plethora of modifications. We had the opportunity to test out the vehicle’s predecessor, the 2020 Navara N-Trek Warrior, last year and were very impressed with what we found.

At about 2:40 Thursday afternoon, a hit-and-run property damage accident was reported at a residence in the 400 block of north Clarmar Avenue. Reported damaged was a 2006 Nissan Titan which had been parked on the street in front of the residence. The Titan was struck by a passing car. The driver of the second car didn’t leave any contact information.

Nissan Vice President Asako Hoshino has made it clear that the company will stand behind the legendary Skyline just hours after the news was leaked that the brand will no longer sell sedans on its domestic market. The news begs a lot of questions about the future of this beloved model. What’s in store for the next generation of Skyline?

Last fall, Nissan revealed the Z Proto, a thinly-disguised concept car preview of a new, forthcoming Z model, which is expected to be called the 400Z. Reviving the “Z” moniker is a big deal for the Japanese automaker, which has applied that designation to its performance vehicles since the 1970s. Now, we have a reveal date for the production version of the Z Proto – the 2022 Nissan 400Z – and it’s set for August 17th, 2021.

Update: We reached out to Nissan about this story and they, partially at least, denied the claim, telling us that “Nissan does not comment on details of its future product plans. We have not made any decision to end development of the Skyline model for the Japanese market.”. Speaking at...
