ENGINEERED in Cranfield

The Nissan Technical Centre in Cranfield - the home of over 900 innovators - is Nissan’s engineering hub. It’s the pioneering birthplace of the Nissan LEAF, the first mass-market electric car, and has perfected family favourites like the Nissan Juke and Qashqai.

LOVED by Britain

With the Nissan Qashqai as Britain's best-selling SUV over the last 10 years1, we’re feeling the love. We were the only car maker with two cars in the top 5 best sellers list2 in 2024. Qashqai is also the most searched for compact SUV in Britain3.
