The continent will also receive five new Nissan EVs over the coming two years, including an electric replacement for the Micra.

In India, Nissan will release three new models and aims to sell 95,000 vehicles across the country in 2026, a significant increase from the 63,000 units sold last year. Two of these new models will be SUVs produced by the firm’s plant in Chennai. Nissan also wants to grow its African sales from 56,000 units to 110,000 and will launch the two Indian-built SUVs in the region. It will also release its first EV in South Africa by 2026.

Those living in the Middle East will soon get five new SUVs, including the two from India. No Nissan EVs will launch in the region as part of The Arc. In Oceania, Nissan will launch four new models, as well as unspecified “additional new electric vehicles.” One of the most compelling new models will be the next-generation Navara co-developed with Mitsubishi.
