What Nissan makes

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is a Japanese car maker with its head office in Yokohama, in Kanagawa Prefecture. The company dates from December 1933 and, according to its corporate profile page, had 23,174 employees on a non-consolidated basis and 120,079 on a consolidated basis at the end of March 2026. It builds passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, and it also operates the INFINITI brand. The profile page points readers to separate sections for its full brand list.

Where it builds and sells

The corporate profile page does not itself list production countries or sales regions. It links to separate pages on major overseas facilities and the overseas sales network. In the United Kingdom, Nissan runs a dedicated consumer site with new vehicle pages, ownership pages, warranty terms, home and public charging guidance and fleet information, which shows that the UK is one of its sales markets for electric cars.

Its electric line-up

Nissan describes electrification as a core strand of its technology, naming e-POWER and the e-4ORCE all-wheel control system, and its corporate site carries an EV milestones section. On its UK site the current battery-electric range includes the LEAF, the Ariya and the Micra. The LEAF is offered with 52 kWh and 75 kWh batteries, the Ariya with 63 kWh and 87 kWh batteries, and the Micra with 40 kWh and 52 kWh batteries. Nissan lists an eight year or 100,000 mile battery warranty for the LEAF, Ariya and Micra, with an optional extension for owners who service their car with Nissan. Owners use the MyNISSAN app for connected services, and the Nissan Charge app helps find public chargers.
