The most produced car in Great Britain in 2017
- We have seen in our previous analyzes that the VW Golf was the most produced car in Germany (and Europe) and that the Toyota Yaris was the most produced car in France. What is the most produced car in Britain?
- This is the Nissan Qashqai (C-segment SUV), as for many years. The Sunderland plant (North East of England) is the only site that produces this model in the European Union. There is a factory in Russia (Saint Petersburg) that manufactures the Qashqai, but for local demand only. The Nissan Qashqai is also manufactured in China and will soon be in the United States, under the name of Rogue Sport (the Rogue is the US version of the Nissan X-Trail).
- 301,000 Nissan Qashqai were manufactured in Europe in 2017 (against 310,000 in 2016), of which 232,000 were sold in the European Union (against 217,000 in 2016), where it is in sixth position of sales by model, making it the best-selling SUV in Europe, ahead of the Volkswagen Tiguan.
- The drop in Qashqai's production volume in 2017 (-9,000 units) is due to the transfer of part of the production to the Russian plant in Saint Petersburg. Previously, Qashqai sold in Russia were exported from the Sunderland factory.
- The next generation of Qashqai should be launched in 2020. It should be produced on the same production sites as today, alongside the future X-Trail, which will be manufactured for the first time in Europe.
