Nissan not building Pathfinder, Murano or Frontier for Canada amid tariffs
CANADA, JUL 9 – Nissan halted production of three U.S.-made vehicles for Canada due to 25% tariffs by both countries, impacting supply chains and dealer inventories, the company said.
- In May, Nissan temporarily halted the manufacture of the Pathfinder, Murano, and Frontier vehicles in the U.S. intended for the Canadian market due to a dispute involving a 25% tariff between the two countries.
- The suspension followed Canada's imposition of counter-tariffs on April 9 in response to U.S. tariffs imposed earlier that year on auto imports.
- Nissan sources more than 80% of its Canadian vehicle sales from Japan and Mexico, including popular models like Rogue, Kicks, and Sentra, which are unaffected by tariffs.
- Christian Meunier, Nissan Americas Chairman, explained that the majority of vehicles Nissan offers in Canada—around 80%—avoid the tariff since they are imported from outside the U.S., while dealerships continue to hold stock of models whose production has been paused.
- Nissan called the halt a short-term measure and expressed hope that U.S.-Canada talks will yield a trade deal by July 21 to resume normal production and sales.
