Nissan SUV market developments in Brazil

Overview

Nissan is adjusting its SUV lineup in the Brazilian market through new product introductions and pricing strategies.

In August 2026, the company announced the introduction of the NX8 SUV, a model produced in Guangzhou, China, by DFM. The NX8 is positioned above the Kicks model and features electrified powertrains, including fully electric (EV) and Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) versions. The REEV variant uses a 1.5-liter turbo engine as a generator to achieve a total autonomy exceeding 1,000 km.

By September 2026, Nissan implemented permanent price reductions for its 2027 Kait SUV line, which is manufactured at the Resende Industrial Complex in Rio de Janeiro. These adjustments affect various versions of the compact SUV, with the most significant cut occurring in the Advance version, which decreased by R$ 10,000. The Kait models maintain a 1.6L flex engine and XTRONIC CVT automatic transmission, a move intended to increase competitiveness against rival models from Chevrolet, Fiat, Volkswagen, and Hyundai.
