Nissan will launch a compact Juke-sized electric SUV spun off the same platform as the upcoming all-electric Ariya, according to a new report from Auto Express. The model will reportedly be underpinned by the Nissan-Renault Alliance’s new CMF-EV modular EV architecture, currently exclusive to the mid-size Ariya and upcoming Renault Megane small crossover.

The 2021 Nissan Patrol Nismo has been unveiled, offering bold styling and additional performance over the standard model. At this stage, the sportier Patrol Nismo looks like it won't be offered in Australia, with Nissan developing the SUV specifically for the Middle East – one of the largest international markets for the Patrol.

Toyota, Nissan, and Honda are among a number of car makers currently working to assess the impact of a fire at a semiconductor factory in Japan. The fire over the weekend has affected the majority of production at the Renesas Electronics production facility, according to news outlet Reuters.

The Nissan Navara Warrior has sold out and there will be a showroom blackout on the flagship model until the updated version arrives later this year. Nissan Australia says it has sold out of the first series of Navara Warriors and only dealer stock remains. “We’re concluded (with the Nissan Navara Warrior) and as far as we’re concerned it’s already been sold out. So any that you might see … in dealers is the last of the inventory,” said Nissan Australia boss Stephen Lester.
