It was actually made in Mexico search for Tsuru from a popular Japanese brand.

There was an article on the web that said that the Y61 is still being produced for certain countries. I myself thought that it ended production just before covid hit, but doesn't seem so.

I did search for Tsuru and what came up is the Sunny from Nissan. And then I realized @iRage has actually answered this. But what’s the 2015 model car ?

Nissan apparently produced the B13 Sunny until 2017 in Mexico under the nameplate "Tsuru"

 

"On the eve of Global NCAP and Latin NCAP’s Car to Car crash test, Nissan announced that they will take the Zero Star Tsuru out of production in Mexico next May."

Oh no no...the Y61 has been in production continuously. It is big business in the middle east (where they have all these cool versions of it) and is sold in Africa and Australia. Sadly, with the launch of the Y63 Nissan announced that the Y61 will be retired in 2025/2026. I thikn this would be a mistake. They should keep the Y61 going on. Sort of like the roughand tough utilitarian version of the Patrol while the 63 is the more luxe version. Kind of like the 70 series and the 300 series for Toyota. Some people say it is getting retired because of the upcoming Pajero which has been and would be a direct competitor to the Y61. I hope plans have changed with Nissan's ongoing issues and upcoming mergers.
