New Qashqai: Fastest Car to Reach 500,000 Production Milestone

Nissan today celebrates a record breaking milestone as the 500,000th Qashqai rolls off the production line in Sunderland, UK. Achieving the feat in a record-breaking 21 months, Nissan’s pioneering flagship Crossover has become the fastest ever UK-built vehicle to smash the half million production mark. Since its start of production in January 2014, a new Qashqai has been built every 62 seconds on the Sunderland factory’s Line 1.

The Qashqai’s package of quality, style and class-leading technology make it the best-selling Crossover in Europe with France (68,044), Italy (45,464) and Spain (42,306) accounting for almost a third (31%) of global Qashqai sales.

Although originally designed for the European market, it’s not just Europe where the Crossover is a popular choice – the Qashqai is now in demand in 84 countries worldwide including Uganda, Zambia, and Saint Kitts, to name a few.

Total global production of the Qashqai now tops 2.5 million. From late 2015 the new Qashqai will also be manufactured in St. Petersburg for domestic sales in Russia.
