Designed. Built. Loved
With a partnership that has helped shape some of the industry's most iconic vehicles. From the Bluebird to the history-making LEAF, we've consistently pushed boundaries, captured imaginations with Juke, and redefined expectations with Qashqai. Through every milestone, one thing has remained constant: we work together. Together, we design, we engineer, and we build—creating vehicles that leave a lasting mark on the road and on the industry.
Paddington is now home to Nissan Design Europe. Where creative talent from Britain and far beyond brings new Nissans to life.
Home to Nissan’s engineering pioneers. At Cranfield, the boundaries of electrified innovation are pushed further through icons like the Nissan LEAF, while British favourites such as Qashqai and Juke continue to be shaped for the road ahead.
For 40 years, we’ve helped drive the Northeast’s regeneration, building more than 11.9 million vehicles in Sunderland. It’s where our story comes to life—and home to the UK’s largest car plant.
