In May of last year, it was reported that Nissan had hit the pause button on two electric sedans that were originally set to be built in the United States. Now, it’s been confirmed that those models are officially canceled, with an internal memo adding that the company is also shifting gears on its plans for two all-electric crossovers.

Earlier this month, Nissan Americas chairperson Christian Meunier stated that “the sedan market is shrinking” and that the company needed to “face reality.” After an internal memo made its way to the press, the automaker confirmed that shifting market conditions had forced it to reassess the EV projects originally planned for its Canton, Mississippi site.

“In response to recent changes in industry market conditions, we have decided to revise our plans for the Canton EV family projects,” Nissan said in a statement, as reported by Auto News. “We have made the decision to cancel development of the LZ1F/LZ1E [sedan] projects and to reassess them as part of a new vehicle program.”

These two cancelled models were intended to replace the Maxima Maxima and Altima sedans. Alongside them, an electric crossover codenamed the PZ1L, roughly the size of the Rogue, was also in the works. However, that too has been scrapped. The good news? Nissan isn’t entirely abandoning its EV plans at the Mississippi plant.

New Focus on Electric SUVs

In January 2028, Nissan plans to begin production of a new electric SUV, known internally as the PZ1K. This model will have a “brawny” design similar to the Xterra crossover. It will be joined by an Infiniti version, known internally as the PZ1J, which will enter production in May 2028. These new vehicles will be built on a flexible platform capable of supporting crossovers, sedans, and potentially even a lightweight pickup truck.

The new platform will also feature upgraded electric motors and offer faster charging capabilities. Additionally, these vehicles will use lower-cost lithium-ion batteries.

Interestingly, Nissan recognizes there’s still demand for electric sedans in certain markets, including China. This week, the company unveiled the all-electric N7 that has been jointly developed with its local partner Dongfeng. With a 400-volt architecture, the N7 will be available with 58 kWh and 73 kWh battery packs, as well as electric motors producing 215 hp and 268 hp.
