Nissan's SUV-focused Australian range is set to continue flying the flag for the Japanese carmaker locally, although passenger cars could yet make a comeback.

The company has all but withdrawn its passenger car range in Australia, with the city-sized Micra, small Pulsar and large Altima ranges now on the sidelines.

Even the Leaf electric car range has been waiting in the wings for the all-new model to be released. 

But it was at the launch of the new Leaf in Japan that Nissan Head Of Asia And Oceania, Yutaka Sanada, reminded us that the carmaker hasn't given up on passenger cars just yet.

“We are preparing the next step of our plan because we have significant passenger car customers in Australia,” Sanada said. “We have the product and we have a plan for the future but it’s not ready yet [to be made public].”
