Nissan ‘scrapping’ beloved model that first debuted in 1993 as drivers ‘worry about replacement parts in the future’ ...Middle East

A POPULAR automaker has announced that it’s getting rid of a beloved model that’s been around for over three decades.

Drivers who own a Nissan are worried about how they’re going to replace parts after the model is discontinued.

The Nissan Altima has been an affordable car for many people since 1993.

But now it might not live to see the year 2026.

The Altima is reportedly being discontinued by the end of 2025, according to Motor1.com.

Rumors have been swirling about the future of the beloved model for months – though Nissan has yet to confirm the news.

After emerging in the mid-1990s, the Altima evolved into a mid-size sedan in the early 2000s.

The Nissan Altima offers 188 horsepower and up to 180 lb-ft of torque, according to the Nissan website.

But the vehicle’s biggest sell is its extensive safety features including an automatic brake, blindspot warning, and cross-traffic alerts.

The car was rated an 8/10 by Car and Driver, who called it a “trusty companion.”

The review praised the Nissan’s spacious cabin and comfortable seating as well as its available all-wheel drive.

However, Car and Driver did note that the Turbo engine was discontinued – a problem drivers are already concerned about.

“What will happen to the Nissan Altima? Will it be discontinued? Will it get a new generation?” asked an X user.

“Are the rumors true that the Altima is being discontinued in 2025?” echoed another social media user on Facebook.

“I absolutely love ours and worry about replacement parts in the future if its true,” they added.

With the Altima seemingly about to disappear, Nissan offers one sedan (the compact Sentra) alongside the Z sports car, Leaf EV hatchback, Frontier pickup, and a couple of SUVs.

Cars being discontinued for 2025 and 2026

Dozens of cars won't make it to the 2025 model year, including sedans, some SUVs, and sports cars.

Cars that are on the chopping block for next year are:

The automaker has plans to focus on producing more electric vehicles and adapt to the changing market trend where SUVs and crossovers are more popular than traditional sedans, according to a 2050 projection.

As a result, the automaker has started to phase out the Maxima and Altima for electric models.

Nissan hopes to prioritize electric vehicle development and sales as part of its long-term goals.

In the second quarter of 2024, electric and hybrid vehicle sales in the United States increased, according to a report by the US Energy Information Administration.

“This slight increase in the electric and hybrid vehicle market share was driven primarily by hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) sales, which increased by 30.7% year over year,” the report stated.

“Hybrid sales accounted for 8.6% of the total light-duty market in 1Q24 and increased to 9.6% in 2Q24.”

Not only that, the price of hybrid and electric vehicles in the United States decreased from $57,405 in January 2024 to $56,371 in June 2024, according to a report by Cox Automotive.

Nissan has not responded to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
