by Nissan clears up confusion about new sedans
Nissan continues developing new models for various markets, including North America. However, the patent images that recently went viral turned out to be the Chinese EVO concept, not the future Sentra or Altima, as some had assumed.
The EVO concept sedan was introduced in Beijing alongside other Nissan electric vehicles. The design of the patent drawings fully matches this concept, including the characteristic LED headlights and body lines. The patents were registered in China, confirming their origin.
What to expect from the new Sentra?
The real updated Sentra for the American market was already partially shown in shadow renders. Nissan intentionally concealed key design details, leaving room for speculation. Production of the new model is planned for 2027, barring unforeseen circumstances.
The Chinese version of the EVO might get a production version through Nissan’s joint ventures, similar to the N7 electric sedan. Although this model is not intended for sale in North America, the situation could change, as it has with other company cars.
Despite the difficulties Nissan has faced in recent years, the company continues to invest in developing new models for various markets. China remains a key region for the brand, where it is actively developing its lineup of electric and hybrid vehicles. Parallel work is underway to update classic models for traditional markets, such as the USA.
