Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has unveiled “The Arc,” its comprehensive new business plan aimed at driving value and strengthening competitiveness. Positioned as a bridge between the Nissan NEXT transformation plan and Nissan Ambition 2030, The Arc focuses on key initiatives such as a broad-based product offensive, increased electrification, new engineering and manufacturing approaches, adoption of new technologies, and strategic partnerships to bolster global unit sales and profitability.

Nissan President and CEO Makoto Uchida emphasised that The Arc plan reflects the company’s continuous progression and ability to navigate changing market conditions. Through decisive actions outlined in the plan, Nissan aims to achieve sustainable growth and profitability amidst extreme market volatility.

The plan comprises mid-term imperatives for fiscal years 2024 through 2026 and mid-to-long-term actions extending through 2030. One of the key objectives is to ensure volume growth through a tailored regional strategy and accelerate the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). By fiscal year 2026, Nissan targets an increase in annual sales by 1 million units and aims to achieve an operating profit margin of over 6%.

To support its growth objectives, Nissan plans to launch 30 new models globally over the next three years, with 16 being electrified and 14 internal-combustion engine (ICE) models. The company aims for electrified vehicles to represent 40% of global sales by fiscal year 2026 and 60% by 2030.

The plan includes region-specific strategies, such as increasing sales across regions, launching new models, and enhancing EV competitiveness. Notable initiatives include the launch of seven all-new models in the U.S. and Canada, refreshment of 73% of Nissan-brand models in China, and the introduction of six all-new models in Europe.

In addition to product development, Nissan plans to leverage new development and manufacturing approaches to make EVs more affordable and increase profitability. These initiatives include reducing the cost of next-generation EVs by 30% and achieving cost parity between EVs and ICE models by fiscal year 2030.

Strategic partnerships will play a crucial role in Nissan’s global portfolio expansion and technology development. The company aims to collaborate with partners to develop batteries and increase global capacity to 135 gigawatt hours.

Financial discipline is another cornerstone of The Arc plan, with Nissan aiming to maintain stable investments in research and development (R&D) and achieve a positive free cash flow. The company plans to invest over 400 billion yen in battery capacity and increase electrification investments progressively.

Uchida concluded by expressing Nissan’s confidence in executing The Arc plan, which will provide a solid foundation to realise the company’s long-term vision outlined in Nissan Ambition 2030.

Nissan telah melancarkan pelan perniagaan tiga tahun yang memberikan perhatian pada elektrifikasi dan meningkatkan pengalaman pelanggan, khususnya di Amerika Utara. Pelan itu melibatkan memperkenalkan tujuh model baharu dan menyegarkan 78% daripada barisan A.S. semasanya. Selain itu, Nissan akan melabur $200 juta dalam meningkatkan perkhidmatan pelanggan.

Elektrifikasi ialah aspek utama strategi Nissan, dengan pengenalan model hibrid plug-in dan sistem e-Power yang inovatif di pasaran A.S.. Teknologi e-Power, yang menggunakan enjin petrol sebagai penjana untuk motor elektrik, menawarkan kecekapan tinggi tanpa pengecasan plug-in.

Di peringkat global, Nissan merancang untuk melancarkan 30 model baharu, dengan 16 daripadanya merangkumi elektrifikasi. Matlamatnya ialah untuk kenderaan elektrik membentuk 40% daripada jualan global menjelang 2026 dan 60% menjelang 2030, mencerminkan komitmen terhadap mobiliti mampan.

Nissan juga menyasarkan untuk menjadikan kenderaan elektrik lebih mampu milik dan merancang untuk mengurangkan harga bagi penawaran elektrik generasi akan datang sebanyak 30% berbanding model semasa seperti Nissan Ariya. Strategi penetapan harga yang agresif ini, disokong oleh kos pembangunan yang dikongsi, bertujuan untuk mencapai harga sama rata antara kenderaan enjin pembakaran elektrik dan dalaman menjelang 2030.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Makoto Uchida menekankan kepentingan perkongsian strategik dan penyesuaian pasaran untuk pertumbuhan dan daya saing jualan global. Dia menyatakan keyakinan terhadap keupayaan Nissan untuk mencapai pertumbuhan mampan dan keuntungan dalam landskap pasaran yang tidak menentu.

Pelan perniagaan Nissan menandakan peralihan ketara ke arah elektrifikasi, menunjukkan komitmennya terhadap inovasi automotif dan penyelesaian mobiliti mampan.

Nissan has set its sights on a transformative journey with the revelation of a dynamic three-year business plan, placing electrification at its core while spotlighting the North American market. This ambitious roadmap aims to reinvigorate its model lineup and expedite the shift toward electrified vehicles, coupled with a substantial focus on enhancing the customer experience, specifically in the United States.

Central to Nissan’s strategy is the introduction of seven fresh models in North America and a sweeping revitalisation of 78 per cent of its current U.S. portfolio. Moreover, the company plans to infuse $200 million into refining its integrated customer service offerings, demonstrating a commitment to not just innovation but also customer satisfaction.

Key pillars of Nissan’s strategy include a robust push towards electrification, featuring the introduction of plug-in hybrid models and the innovative e-Power system into the American market. The e-Power technology, leveraging a petrol engine as a generator for electric motors, promises heightened efficiency sans the necessity for plug-in charging, a move likely to resonate with eco-conscious consumers.

Nissan baru sahaja mengeluarkan GT-R 2025 di Jepun, membuatkan peminat kereta sangat teruja. Versi baharu kereta sport terkenal ini akan tersedia pada bulan Jun. Walaupun ia tidak mempunyai banyak perubahan mekanikal, ia mempunyai beberapa peningkatan yang menarik, terutamanya dalam versi T-spec Edisi Premium dan Edisi Trek. Model ini mendapat beberapa bahagian berprestasi tinggi daripada Edisi Khas Nismo, seperti piston ring dan rod khas. Pembeli juga mendapat beberapa ciri istimewa, seperti plak dengan nama pembina dan plat emas dengan nombor casis.

Nissan juga mendengar apa yang pelanggan mahukan dan menambah pilihan dalaman baharu yang dipanggil Blue Heaven untuk Edisi Premium. Ia membuatkan bahagian dalam kereta terasa lebih mewah. Edisi Premium berharga sekitar 15,587,000 yen (kira-kira RM493,489), Edisi Pure bermula pada 14,443,000 yen (kira-kira RM457,270), dan Nismo Edisi Khas teratas ialah 30,613,000 yen (kira-kira RM969,344).

Tetapi Nissan memberi amaran mungkin tidak cukup kereta untuk dilalui. Mereka mungkin tidak dapat membuat seberapa banyak yang orang mahu, jadi beberapa pesanan mungkin tidak dapat diisi. Terdapat juga khabar angin bahawa 2025 boleh menjadi tahun terakhir untuk model GT-R ini.

Laporan mengatakan Nissan hanya akan membuat 1,500 GT-R untuk 2025, dengan 300 daripadanya ialah versi Nismo berprestasi tinggi. Nissan bimbang untuk mendapatkan beberapa bahagian untuk kereta itu pada masa hadapan, jadi mereka mungkin berhenti membuatnya selepas tahun ini.

Ini akan menjadi penamat kepada larian hebat untuk GT-R, yang pertama kali dikeluarkan pada tahun 2007. Tetapi Nissan mungkin mempunyai sesuatu yang baharu. Mereka telah menunjukkan beberapa konsep, seperti konsep Hyper Force, yang mencadangkan mereka mungkin membuat GT-R serba elektrik pada masa hadapan, mungkin menjelang akhir dekad ini.

Nissan’s recent launch of the 2025 GT-R in Japan has ignited excitement among enthusiasts, with the latest iteration of the iconic supercar set to hit the market in June. Despite minimal mechanical changes, the new model introduces notable enhancements, particularly in the Premium Edition T-spec and Track Edition variants. These models inherit high-performance hardware from the Nismo Special Edition, including weight-balanced piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshafts. Additionally, buyers of these models are treated to exclusive features such as an aluminium plaque displaying the builder’s name and a gold-coloured plate showcasing the chassis number.

In response to consumer preferences, Nissan has introduced a new interior trim option, dubbed Blue Heaven, for the Premium Edition variant, adding a touch of luxury to the driving experience. The pricing for the 2025 GT-R varies across the lineup, with the Premium Edition priced at around 15,587,000 yen (around RM493,489), the Pure Edition starting at 14,443,000 yen (around RM457,270), and the top-tier Nismo Special Edition commanding a hefty price tag of 30,613,000 yen (around RM969,344).

Despite the anticipation surrounding the release, Nissan has issued a cautionary note regarding production limitations, hinting at the possibility of demand outstripping supply and resulting in order refusals. Furthermore, rumours circulating in the automotive community, fuelled by reports from Japanese publication Mag-X, suggest that 2025 could mark the final year of production for the R35 GT-R.

According to these reports, Nissan plans to assemble only 1,500 units of the JDM-spec GT-R for the 2025 model year, with a limited quantity of 300 units allocated for the high-performance Nismo derivative. The decision to discontinue the GT-R is attributed to potential challenges in sourcing certain parts in the future, as indicated by Nissan’s communication with its dealers.

The impending discontinuation of the R35 GT-R marks the end of an era for the iconic model, which has enjoyed a remarkable production run since its inception in December 2007. With its development dating back to 2000, the GT-R has undergone several evolutions over the years, culminating in the current model. However, Nissan has hinted at the possibility of a new chapter with concepts like the Hyper Force concept unveiled at last year’s Japan Mobility Show, hinting at the potential for an all-electric GT-R in the future, expected to materialise by the end of the decade.

Dalam dunia supercar, Nissan GT-R telah menjadi legenda, dan ia sedang bersedia untuk mengucapkan selamat tinggal dengan edisi khas terakhir pada tahun 2025.

Sejak pertama kali dikeluarkan pada tahun 2007, GT-R telah terkenal dengan prestasi yang luar biasa, membuatkan peminat kereta teruja.

Menurut laporan dari sumber dalaman, Nissan akan mendedahkan edisi khas ini pada 14 Mac. Mereka merancang untuk membuat hanya 1,500 daripadanya, dengan sekitar 300 adalah model Nismo berprestasi tinggi. Masih belum jelas sama ada edisi khas ini hanya akan dijual di Jepun atau di seluruh dunia.

2021 Nissan GT-R NISMO

Kami tidak tahu banyak tentang model akhir lagi, tetapi memandangkan GT-R mendapat kemas kini besar pada 2024 dengan penampilan baharu, kami mungkin tidak akan melihat banyak perubahan untuk 2025. Mungkin mereka akan mengubah suai aerodinamik sedikit atau menawarkan pilihan yang berbeza.

Jika laporan itu benar dan 2025 adalah penghujung barisan untuk R35 GT-R, peminat boleh mengharapkan sentuhan istimewa pada kereta itu, seperti lencana atau pelekat khas.

Di bawah bonet, versi biasa mungkin akan mengekalkan enjin V6 twin-turbo 3.8 liter yang sama daripada model 2024, yang memberikan tork 565hp dan 632Nm. GT-R Nismo mungkin mendapat peningkatan kuasa kepada 600hp dan 651Nm tork.

2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO

Apabila GT-R mula-mula keluar, ia adalah salah satu kereta yang paling laju yang boleh anda beli, mengalahkan pesaing yang harganya lebih mahal. Tetapi sejak 17 tahun yang lalu, supercar lain yang lebih ringan dan lebih pantas telah muncul dan meninggalkan GT-R di belakang.

Walaupun R35 GT-R mungkin mengucapkan selamat tinggal, Nissan sedang bersedia untuk memperkenalkan versi baharu tidak lama lagi. Pada Pameran Mobiliti Jepun 2023, Nissan mempamerkan konsep Hyper Force, sebuah kereta yang diilhamkan oleh GT-R tetapi dikuasakan oleh motor elektrik, dengan kuasa 1,341hp.

In the realm of supercars, the Nissan GT-R has carved out a legendary status, and now, it’s preparing to bid farewell with a final, limited-edition model slated for the 2025 model year.

Since its debut in 2007, the R35 generation GT-R has cemented its reputation as a relentless supercar challenger, boasting remarkable performance figures that have kept enthusiasts enthralled.

2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO

According to insider sources cited by Japanese publication Mag X, Nissan is poised to unveil the curtain call for the GT-R on March 14, with reports suggesting that only 1,500 units will roll off the production line, including approximately 300 Nismo models. However, it remains uncertain whether these exclusive editions will be reserved solely for the Japanese market or offered globally.

While specifics about the final model remain elusive, considering the significant visual refresh the 2024 GT-R received just a year ago – with updated front and rear fascias – major overhauls for the 2025 version seem improbable. Perhaps minor aerodynamic tweaks or adjustments to trim levels may be in the cards, but a complete redesign appears unlikely, especially for a model destined to bow out after a limited production run of 1,500 units.

Should the reports hold and 2025 indeed mark the swan song for the R35 GT-R, enthusiasts can anticipate commemorative touches adorning the sports car, such as special badges or decals.

Under the hood, the regular variant is expected to retain the familiar 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine from the 2024 model, delivering 565hp and 632Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the GT-R Nismo variant could receive a power bump to 600hp and 651Nm of torque.

Upon its debut, the GT-R made waves in the supercar world. It stood as one of the fastest production cars globally, surpassing rivals at significantly higher price points. However, over the past 17 years, the supercar landscape has evolved, with lighter and more potent competitors entering the fray, effortlessly outclassing the GT-R.

While the 2025 GT-R may draw the curtains on the R35 era, Nissan is poised to usher in a successor in the near future. At the recent Japan Mobility Show 2023, Nissan teased enthusiasts with a glimpse of the future through the Hyper Force concept – a GT-R-inspired model propelled by electric motors, boasting 1,341 bhp.
