What happened
Nissan has launched new models in the Canadian market this fall, including the 2027 Rogue e-Power hybrid, the 2027 Ariya EV, and the 2027 Leaf S. This market introduction occurs while the company continues to manage the repercussions of a financial misconduct scandal involving former CEO Carlos Ghosn, who was arrested in Japan in 2018.

The refreshed model lineup signals a renewed effort by Nissan to regain relevance and momentum in global markets. The company is attempting to counter a period of stagnation in the EV segment that occurred following the scandal, during which competitors, particularly South Korean automakers, gained ground in North America.
