Overview
- Automotive News, citing unnamed sources, reports Nissan is discussing supplying an electrified crossover based on the Rogue to Ford and Stellantis.
- The vehicles under discussion would use Nissan’s e-POWER series-hybrid system, which is slated to debut in the U.S. on the next Rogue in late 2026.
- Reports indicate the models would likely be built alongside the Rogue at Nissan’s Smyrna, Tennessee plant to bolster utilization.
- Nissan spokesperson Brian Brockman says the company is exploring options to localize vehicle and powertrain production in the U.S., with no agreements in place.
- Sources say talks could later extend to EV collaboration and may involve other parties such as Mitsubishi for Outlander use of e-POWER or Foxconn as a contract manufacturer.
