Nissan's Juke, Qashqai, and leaf to electrify with 'Hyper' designs

Nissan is making a bold stride in electrifying its vehicle lineup, with a particular focus on updating its popular models such as the Juke, Qashqai, and the next generation of the Leaf. This significant transformation is underway at Nissan’s Sunderland plant in the UK, which is a pivotal center for its electric vehicle (EV) production. Nissan's commitment to electric mobility is underscored by an investment of up to £3 billion (about $3.75 billion) in this project.

A notable aspect of Nissan's strategy is drawing inspiration from its 'Hyper' series of concept cars, which were showcased at the Japan Mobility Show. These concepts are influencing the design of the new electric versions of the Juke and Qashqai. Specifically, the Hyper Urban Concept is shaping the Qashqai EV, while the Hyper Punk Concept is guiding the Juke EV's design, reflecting a blend of innovative design and practical EV technology.

Moreover, this investment is set to enhance the production capacity and infrastructure at the Sunderland plant. This includes the creation of three battery gigafactories in collaboration with Envision AESC, emphasizing the critical role of sustainable and efficient battery production in the EV ecosystem.

An integral part of Nissan's plan is its commitment to renewable energy. The EV36Zero Microgrid initiative will provide 100% renewable electricity for the production of these EVs and their batteries. This initiative not only highlights Nissan's dedication to eco-friendly manufacturing processes but also sets a new standard for sustainability in the automotive industry.
