In this video, you'll see how the new 2021 Nissan Qashqai is produced.

New manufacturing facilities required for new generation technology

Nissan has invested £400m into the Sunderland plant to support third-generation Qashqai production. Key investments have included a £52m second extra-large press line and scrap recycling system, called the Cyclone, which allows Qashqai to become the plant's first model built largely from aluminium

Other new facility investments include 117 new robots for the plant's Body Shop, working with both aluminium and the new ultra-high tensile steel that helps gives Qashqai its best-in-class safety performance.

New Qashqai means striking new colours in the Paint Shop, with five new two-tone combinations available. Four new robots also apply a fine layer of the latest sound-deadening technology inside the vehicle, resulting in lower cabin noise for the driver.

Significant improvements in Trim and Chassis (final assembly) include the introduction of an automatic receiving and sequencing facility which, in a first for the plant, fits Qashqai's weight-reducing plastic tailgate.

Qashqai is built on the Alliance CMF platform (Common Module Family), which has meant a major upgrade in Trim and Chassis suspension assembly process, with the new front and rear suspensions and steering layout supporting the car's enhanced dynamic performance.

Finally, Qashqai's advanced technology has also meant new, advanced, digital systems that programme and bring the car to life.
