KLIMS 2026: Nissan booth, X-Trail e-4ORCE e-POWER previewed ahead of launch. June 11, 2026 The Nissan booth at KLIMS 2026 was headlined by the preview of the new X-Trail. The Nissan X-Trail e-POWER has been in the pipeline for Malaysia for some years now. At KLIMS 2026, Nissan took the opportunity at their Ginza Crossing themed booth to preview a local specification of the Nissan X-Trail e-4ORCE e-POWER. This new X-Trail is coming to Malaysia later this year. Besides that, Nissan showed their other vehicles that are already available in Malaysia, such as the Kicks e-POWER and Serena e-POWER.

Nissan recalls over 51K SUVs after software defect causes dashboard screens to fail. Nissan is recalling more than 51,000 Kicks SUVs because a software defect can cause the dashboard display to go partially or completely blank, potentially preventing drivers from seeing critical vehicle information. The recall affects 51,598 model year 2025-2026 Nissan Kicks vehicles manufactured between June 24, 2024, and Jan. 9, 2026, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nissan said a software logic error within the vehicle's combination meter, or instrument cluster, can trigger a communication failure between electronic controllers during a cold startup. If that occurs, the display screen may show a partial image, a blue screen or go completely blank. The malfunction can prevent warning lights, indicators and other safety-related information from appearing on the dashboard, causing the vehicles to fall out of compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101 governing vehicle controls and displays. NISSAN RECALLING OVER 26,000 VEHICLES DUE TO DOOR ISSUE THAT COULD INCREASE RISK OF CRASH "If the combi-meter display cannot show safety related telltales and indicators, the driver may unknowingly operate the vehicle in an unsafe condition, increasing the risk of a crash," Nissan said in its filing with federal regulators. Nissan identified seven technical reports and 205 warranty claims related to the issue between October 2024 and April 2026, though the company said it is not aware of any crashes or injuries connected to the defect. The automaker said it first became aware of the issue after receiving a field report involving a 2025 Nissan Kicks with a blank display screen at startup. Although technicians initially could not duplicate the problem, diagnostic trouble codes related to the instrument cluster and communication systems were stored in the vehicle. NISSAN ISSUES MASSIVE RECALL AS FAULTY PART THREATENS ENGINE FAILURE Over the following months, Nissan and supplier Continental investigated additional reports involving intermittent blank or blue-screen displays. Engineers ultimately traced the issue to an integrated-circuit malfunction that can disrupt communication within the instrument cluster, causing the display to go blank. The recall affects one of Nissan's newer U.S. models and comes as automakers continue to grapple with software-related defects that have become an increasingly common source of vehicle recalls. NISSAN INCREASES JOB CUTS TO 20K BY 2027 To fix the problem, dealers will update the combination meter software at no cost to owners. The repair is expected to take about 30 minutes. Dealer notifications began May 22, while owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed beginning July 1. Vehicle owners can contact Nissan customer service at 800-647-7261 and reference recall number PMA66. FOX Business has reached out to Nissan for additional comment on the matter.

Nissan introduces 2026 Ariya with enhanced design, comfort and EV technology. Nissan today announces updates to the Nissan Ariya for model year 2026, enhancing its flagship electric crossover still further. Since its launch in 2021, Ariya has symbolised Nissan's vision for electric mobility, combining strong performance, a smooth and quiet ride, and a spacious, lounge-like interior. The latest model year update builds on these core strengths, delivering a refreshed exterior design, enhanced ride comfort and new features to support everyday electric driving. Design evolution inspired by timeless Japanese futurism. The 2026 Ariya evolves Nissan's 'Timeless Japanese Futurism' design philosophy with a redesigned front appearance, creating a cleaner and more seamless look. The body colour front panel and reinterpreted V-Motion signature give Ariya a strong yet minimalist presence, reinforcing its confident character as a next-generation electric vehicle. Newly designed 19-inch wheels, combining aluminium and resin elements, add a refined visual contrast that enhances Ariya's premium stance. The exterior colour palette is expanded with a new Plasma Green colour, inspired by natural light phenomena. A range of monotone and two-tone body colours is available. Inside, a redesigned central console increases the storage space up to 3.2 litres and incorporates the latest generation 15W wireless charger. Advanced technologies to enhance electric driving. For 2026, Ariya is equipped with the latest generation of NissanConnect with Google built-in, offering an enhanced connected experience inside and outside of the car. Drivers can experience effortless travel with the In-Car Route Planner by Google Maps (available as standard across the line-up). Simply say, "Hey Google, navigate to Edinburgh Castle" and Google Maps automatically plans the most efficient route, integrating any necessary charging stops based on your real-time battery level. To save time, the car intelligently pre-conditions the battery as you approach a station, ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature for the fastest charge. The dedicated Connectivity app (NissanConnect Services) monitors battery levels, manages charging sessions, adjusts climate settings and tracks tyre pressures directly from your phone. Charging and power supply. The 2026 Nissan Ariya offers AC charging via an 11kW bi-directional on-board charger, supporting Vehicle-to-Load (V2L). For DC rapid charging, Ariya supports speeds of up to 130 kW, enabling efficient long-distance travel and reduced charging times. The new V2L functionality allows compatible external electrical devices to be powered directly from the vehicle via a dedicated connector, providing up to 3kW of output when stationary - to do things like power an electric cooker or charge a laptop. Refined comfort and driving support. Ride comfort is further enhanced through updated suspension tuning. This delivers improved stability, reduced vibrations and a smoother driving experience, particularly over long distances. Ariya also features ProPILOT advanced driver assistance systems including adaptive distance control functions, supporting relaxed driving in stop-start traffic by assisting acceleration, deceleration and stopping, helping to reduce driver fatigue. These technologies have been enhanced to ensure faster response times and better, smoother adjustments. A more refined electric crossover. With its refreshed design, enhanced comfort and intelligent EV technologies, the 2026 Nissan Ariya adds to its winning combination of confident styling, refined driving performance and everyday usability. The car will go on sale from June, with price starting from £37,000. First deliveries are expected in September.
