 Total investment in the plant now stands at €312m, with current production covering the #nissan X-Trail, Pathfinder, Qashqai and Murano.

 Manufactured in St. Petersburg for the Russian market since October 2015, #nissan engineers in #russia made more than 200 changes to Qashqai for the country’s road and weather conditions, including changes in the chassis design, increased ground clearance and localised tires. In the 13 months since 21,450 Qashqais have been manufactured in St. Petersburg.
