Performance car insurance customers looking for a new vehicle produced in the UK could find themselves interested in the Nissan Qashqai+2.
According to the firm, it is to construct the model at its Sunderland plant, meaning that it is the fifth type of car to be produced there in the last five years.
It added that the site has taken on 850 new staff posts over the course of June in order to keep up with the extra work.
Nissan hopes that the new vehicle builds on the "unprecedented" success of the original Qashqai, according to the company's senior vice-president for manufacturing in Europe Trevor Mann.
"This level of volume will contribute to another record production year at our Sunderland plant with an estimated 450,000 vehicles coming off the line," said the official.
Japanese automakers Nissan released produced the original Qashqai in Washington and Fukuoka, Japan, as well as at the Tyne and Wear site.
