Nissan by Britain: A Proud Partnership That Continues to Drive the Nation

For almost four decades, Nissan has been an integral part of Britain's automotive story, helping to design, engineer and build some of the nation's best-loved vehicles. From the creative studios in Paddington and the engineering centre in Cranfield to the world-famous Sunderland manufacturing plant, Nissan's investment in the UK has shaped millions of journeys and supported thousands of skilled jobs across the country.

Since production began in Sunderland in 1986, more than 11.9 million vehicles have rolled off the production lines, making it the UK's largest car manufacturing plant. A new Nissan leaves the factory approximately every two minutes, while the business supports thousands of jobs throughout its wider UK supply chain. Nissan has also invested in the future through the Nissan Skills Foundation, inspiring more than 100,000 young people to explore careers in engineering and manufacturing.

Many of Nissan's most iconic models have proudly been developed with Britain at their heart. The Nissan Qashqai, designed in Paddington, engineered in Cranfield and built in Sunderland, has been one of the UK's top five best-selling cars since 2022. The bold Nissan Juke, another British success story, also ranks among the country's favourite new cars, while the pioneering Nissan LEAF helped launch Britain's electric vehicle revolution and continues to showcase Nissan's innovation in electrified driving.

The legendary Nissan MICRA also holds a special place in the hearts of British motorists. Loved since its arrival in 1982, it has achieved more than 269,000 UK sales over the past two decades and earned 'Car of the Year' honours in consecutive years before making its exciting return in a new generation.
