Where is the Nissan plant in Tennessee?

My family is moving out to Nashville shortly, and we heard that there’s a Nissan facility around there. We just got a Nissan LEAF so we’ve become pretty interested in the brand. Where is the Nissan plant in Tennessee? Will we be close by?

You will indeed be close to the Nissan plant! The Nissan plant in Tennessee is located in Smyrna, just outside of Nashville. There is also another Tennessee Nissan plant in Decherd, but it mostly produces powertrain parts.
Here’s a little more background on the Smyrna vehicle assembly facility in case you’re curious:
  • The Smyrna plant kicked off U.S. Nissan manufacturing in 1983
  • Around 600,000 Nissan vehicles are produced in Smyrna annually
  • The opening of the Smyrna plant historically brought automotive production into Tennessee for the first time
You might be happy to learn that your Nissan LEAF was actually very likely produced in the Smyrna plant, too! To know for sure, all you have to do is
check and decode your Nissan VIN
—look for a “C” in the 11th digit for the Smyrna manufacturing plant. Aside from Nissan LEAFs, the Smyrna plant also produces the following models:
  • Maximas
  • Muranos
  • Pathfinders
  • Rogues
  • QX60s
