Many automakers have struggled with declining sales and market presence over the last few years. Unfortunately, Nissan and its crop of vehicles have had it worse than other options like Honda and Toyota. While the recent automotive tariffs impact all car makers, Nissan is more at risk, and a new report says the company is slashing production on the uber-popular Rogue. 

The Rogue is not only one of the best Nissan vehicles, but it’s also the company’s best-selling model in the U.S.

As everyone knows, there is a 25% tariff on all vehicles not built in the United States. Of course, this is more complicated than it seems, as many models made stateside feature components from other nations. Automakers have responded to this in various ways, with Ford offering employee pricing at participating dealerships. Sadly, Nissan will be slashing production on some of its vehicles. 

Now, Reuters is exclusively reporting that one of the Nissan vehicles that will have decreased production is the Rogue. The report says that the company will slash units by 13,000 at its Kyushu plant. A person close to the situation told the outlet that this would happen between May and July, and the company would then reevaluate. The number of Rogue units Nissan plans to cut represents a third of the number sold in the U.S. so far in 2025. 

This decline in Nissan vehicle production will undoubtedly impact the employees at the Kyushu plant. They will work fewer hours during this three-month period, with some days seeing no production. There will still be two shifts per day at the plant. Regarding the production of the Rogue, the company also uses the Nissan Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. It’s important to note that there has been talk of modifying the automotive tariffs because the companies “need a little bit of time.”
