Nissan Can’t Build Rogues Fast Enough in Tennessee, Apparently

Nissan announced today they'll expand production of the current-generation Nissan Rogue to its Japanese plant and import those cars into the U.S.

Nissan's Kyushu plant produces a version of the Rogue already on sale in the U.S., called Rogue Select. It's unclear if the current-generation Rogue and last-generation Rogue will be produced side-by-side or if Nissan will discontinue selling the Rogue Select.

U.S.-sold Rogues are sourced from Nissan's Symrna, Tennessee plant and Busan, Korea.

In April, the Rogue became America's second-favorite compact crossover behind the Honda CR-V, and helped fuel a sales surge for the automaker.

Year-over-year sales jumped 41 percent in March, and Nissan reported January to June sales of the CUV were up 36 percent from the same period last year.

Selling two generations of a car made in three different countries may not be enough. June sales for the Rogue were up 54.3 percent over last year, the automaker reported.
