US EditionNissan 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.
- Nissan suspended U.S. production in May of the Pathfinder, Murano, and Frontier models for the Canadian market amid 25% auto tariffs imposed by both countries.
- This action followed Canada's April 9 levy on non-CUSMA-compliant U.S. vehicle imports, itself a response to the U.S. administration’s 25% tariffs starting in March.
- Nissan holds sizable inventories of affected vehicles at Canadian dealerships but most of its Canadian sales—over 80%—derive from models produced in Japan and Mexico, which are tariff-exempt.
- Christian Meunier, Nissan Americas Chairman, explained that the majority—about 80%—of Nissan’s vehicles available in Canada are exempt from the tariff since they are imported from outside the United States, and he emphasized that the tariff suspension is only a temporary measure.
- Nissan remains hopeful ongoing U.S.-Canada talks will yield a resolution by July 21, after which production and exports may resume, but uncertainty persists amid broader trade tensions.
