Nissan has officially axed a number of models form its Australian lineup as a result of a regular review of its passenger car line-up.
Among the models being cut are the Micra, Pulsar hatch, and the Patrol wagon and cab chassis.
Nissan has decided that there is no longer an adequate business case for offering Micra for sale in the Australian market.
Nissan will also rationalise its Pulsar offering, concentrating on its Pulsar sedan models and removing the hatch grades from the Pulsar range.
The Patrol wagon (Y61) and Patrol cab chassis (UY61) have also now entered ‘run out’ phase, succeeded by the Patrol V8 (Y62) that launched in the Australian market in February 2013.
Affected models remain on sale in Nissan dealerships across Australia, with the expectation that remaining stock will sell out in the latter part of the 2016 calendar year.
All three decisions are only relevant for the Australian market and do not affect any other Nissan markets globally.
“These decisions are in line with our commitment to running a robust business in Australia, led by strong products including QASHQAI, X-TRAIL and Navara,” says Nissan Australia managing director and chief Richard Emery.
After-sales service and technical support for the affected models will continue to be available from Australian authorised dealer networks.
