Nissan Confirms Production of a New SUV in Brazil, Alongside the Launch of the Next Generation of the Nissan Kicks. What Can We Expect from This New Model?

The Nissan made an investment announcement of billions in its factory in Resende/RJ aimed at producing two new SUVs, one of which is the new generation of the Kicks. Regarding the second model, there are still many speculations about its profile and characteristics, leaving the public curious and anxious.

The aim of Nissan is to expand its share in the Brazilian market by filling gaps in its product line. Currently, the Resende factory only produces the Kicks, while other models are imported from countries such as Mexico, Argentina, the USA, the UK, and Japan.

The announced investment of R$ 3 billion for factory expansion will be allocated to the development of the new Kicks, the unprecedented national SUV, and a turbo engine, as speculations indicate. Nissan confirmed that the platform for the new national SUV will be the same as that used by Renault in some of its models, such as the newly announced Kardian. This platform can also accommodate midsize models, offering versatility for the brand.

With plans to launch a 1.0 turbo engine that could be adapted for electrification, Nissan may follow in Renault‘s footsteps and offer a flex hybrid SUV, leveraging technological synergy between the brands. Furthermore, Nissan is considering the possibility of bringing the X-Trail from Mexico and possibly producing the Nissan Qashqai in Brazil, aiming to explore the midsize SUVs segment and enhance its participation in this heated market.

If it decides on the Qashqai, Nissan could use the 1.3 turbo engine from Renault, potentially adapted for electrification, for both the Kicks and the Qashqai. Additionally, the brand plans to introduce its ePower system in Brazil to compete in the hybrid market. Both the Kicks and the Qashqai are global products from Nissan and already have hybrid versions in other markets, indicating a possible strategy for the Brazilian market. In the coming months, Nissan will reveal more information, and Canaltech will continue to follow closely.

Billions Investment in Factory in RJ for New SUVs

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Lunar meteorite found in the desert bears marks of 3 impacts and reveals a colossal asteroid collision that melted part of the Moon 3.5 billion years ago, at the same time life was beginning to emerge on Earth.

Without cement, glue, or a single screw, interlocking wooden blocks promise to erect the skeleton of a house in about seven days, with one worker assembling one square meter of wall in less than a minute.

The richest man on the planet lives in 37 m², Elon Musk, now the first trillionaire in history according to Reuters, swapped mansions for a prefabricated house worth about 50 thousand dollars set up within the SpaceX base in Texas.

A giant parrot that doesn’t fly, weighs up to 4 kg, and smells like honey almost disappeared from the planet, but an extreme program in New Zealand used predator-free islands, genetics, fake eggs, and a controlled diet to save the kakapo from extinction.

Suspended house made with reused containers, wood, and steel, does not have a television or Wi-Fi system and was designed to operate without air conditioning; the residence was built among trees in the interior of São Paulo and relies on natural ventilation and a green roof.
