Nissan Elgrand Makes Global Debut at Japan Mobility Show 2025
At the Tokyo show, Nissan outlined its plan to strengthen its position in the Japanese market through model updates and new introductions. The company’s Re:Nissan strategy focuses on renewing core products, expanding into new segments and developing technologies that enhance everyday mobility.
The new Elgrand, the confirmed return of the Patrol and the updated Ariya are key elements of this approach, joining other recent additions such as the new LEAF, Roox Kei car and Skyline sedan.
All-New Elgrand to Launch in 2026
The fourth-generation Elgrand made its world premiere at the show and will be launched in Japan in the summer of 2026. The model will be powered by Nissan’s latest e-POWER hybrid system and feature the updated e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive technology.
It will also introduce advanced driver assistance systems, including ProPILOT 1 for hands-off driving at lower speeds and ProPILOT 2.0 for highway driving and lane-change support.

Nissan Patrol Confirmed for Japan
Nissan confirmed that the Patrol SUV will return to the Japanese market in the first half of fiscal year 2027. The model will re-enter the large SUV segment, which Nissan has not competed in since the Safari ended production in 2007.
The Patrol’s introduction is expected to strengthen the company’s presence in the premium SUV category, appealing to customers seeking a versatile, full-size vehicle for both city and off-road use.
Refreshed Ariya to Launch Later This Fiscal Year
Nissan also presented an updated version of the Ariya electric crossover, which is scheduled for launch in Japan later this fiscal year. The model receives minor design updates, suspension improvements and a new infotainment system powered by Google.
It will also feature Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, allowing external device power supply from the car’s battery. The updated Ariya aligns with Nissan’s focus on intelligent mobility and its efforts to expand EV adoption in the domestic market.
Ivan Espinosa, CEO, Nissan, said, “A strong, vibrant Japan market is important for Nissan’s global success. We are dedicated to reigniting that spirit by honoring our heritage, launching the Patrol as a new flagship for Japan, elevating the legacy of the Elgrand through electrification and advanced intelligence, and pushing technological boundaries with our EVs. Our goal is to offer a range of compelling vehicles, from the smallest Roox to our flagship models, that not only meet daily needs but also inspire emotion and pride.”
