The Most Produced Car in the UK in 2016
- We have seen in our previous analyzes that the VW Golf was the most produced car in Germany (and in Europe) and that the Toyota Yaris was the most produced car in France. What is the most produced car in the UK?
- This is, as for several years, the Nissan Qashqai (C segment SUV),. The plant in Sunderland (UK) is the only site that produces this model in the European Union. There is a factory in Russia (Saint Petersburg) that manufactures this model, but for local demand only. The Nissan Qashqai is also manufactured in China and will soon be manufactured in the United States under the name of Rogue Sport (the Rogue being the US version of the Nissan X-Trail).
- 310,000 Nissan Qashqai were manufactured at units in Europe in 2016, of which 220,000 were sold in the European Union, where it ranks eighth in model sales behind the Opel Astra and the Peugeot 208. It remains the most sold SUV in Europe.
- The Nissan Qashqai is in its second generation, since its inception in 2007, and the third generation is expected to be launched in 2020 for a lifetime of six or seven years. It should continue to be produced in Sunderland, following the agreements between Nissan and the British government after the vote on the Brexit. The Nissan X-Trail should also be manufactured on this site (60,000 sales in Europe in 2016)
