Currently, Nissan assembles the Juke, LEAF, Note and Quashqai models in Sunderland.

Large investment

The addition of an Infiniti production line at the industrial complex will mean the Japanese brand will have to invest more than 250 million pounds ($ 420 million) to make room for the new vehicle. It’s an expansion which covers an area of 25,000 m2. It will also mean 1,000 new jobs for the region.
