The Nissan Qashqai in England

3 locations, 3 UK Manufacturing Pillars

The Nissan Qashqai was designed in Paddington, engineered in Cranfield and is built in Sunderland. For the last 12 months it has been the top selling car in the UK as confirmed by the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT).

The SMMT reported 42,704 new Qashqais were sold in 2022. An impressive achievement that helped the compact crossover become the most popular car in a very competitive market where new entrants keep entering. To celebrate the achievement, an exclusive gold-wrapped Qashqai was created in honour of the 7,000 Nissan employees from around the UK that have contributed to its success.

Nissan UK Hub of excellence

Built at Nissan’s Sunderland plant, Qashqai is at the heart of a manufacturing operation that is fast becoming a blueprint for future UK automotive production. Nissan’s recently announced EV36Zero plan combines electric vehicles, renewable energy and battery production and will create a sustainable EV manufacturing hub in the north-east of England, supporting thousands of jobs at the plant and its supply chain, and supporting Nissan’s journey to carbon neutrality by 2050.
