About Nissan
Nissan has built cars in Britain since 1986, and its Sunderland plant — the UK's largest car factory — sits at the centre of the company's current transformation. Historically known for the Qashqai (which effectively created the compact crossover segment in Europe from 2007) and for the Leaf, one of the world's first mass-market electric cars (launched 2010), Nissan is now mid-way through replacing its combustion range with electric equivalents built in Sunderland under the EV36Zero project: a new third-generation Leaf arrived in 2025, an all-new electric Juke follows in 2026, and Nissan has said every new model it launches in Europe from now on will be electric.
For owners, this transition matters beyond just badge-spotting: Nissan's own e-POWER hybrid system (used on the Qashqai and X-Trail) is a genuinely distinctive piece of engineering — the petrol engine only ever generates electricity and never drives the wheels directly — while the brand's pure-EV models (Micra on AmpR Small; Leaf Gen 3, Ariya and soon Juke on CMF-EV / AmpR Medium) share increasing amounts of underlying platform hardware with Renault and Mitsubishi Alliance models, which is why guides on this site are sometimes cross-referenced with those brands.
Platform legend
Short reference for the platform shorthand used in the model cards below.
| Platform | Used on (Nissan) | What it means for owners |
|---|---|---|
| CMF-C/D | Qashqai (current, 2021–), X-Trail (current, 2022–) | Shared combustion/hybrid platform between Nissan's two mid-size SUVs, also related to some Renault models. Available with conventional petrol or Nissan's e-POWER series-hybrid system on both models — e-POWER's petrol engine only ever generates electricity and never drives the wheels directly, unlike a conventional hybrid. |
| CMF-B | Juke (current petrol/hybrid, 2019–) | Smaller B-segment platform. Being phased out on this model — the next-generation Juke (2026–) moves to the much larger CMF-EV/AmpR Medium platform as a fully electric model, produced alongside the current car for a transition period rather than replacing it immediately. |
| CMF-EV (AmpR Medium) | Ariya (2022–), Leaf (3rd generation, 2025–), Juke EV (2026–) | Nissan's dedicated EV platform, developed within the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance and shared with the Renault Scenic E-Tech and Megane E-Tech. The 3rd-generation Leaf represents a complete platform change from earlier Leaf generations — don't assume continuity in known issues between old and new Leaf on this basis alone. |
| AmpR Small (formerly CMF-BEV) | Micra (6th generation, 2025/2026–) | Dedicated small-EV Alliance platform developed jointly with Renault and shared with the Renault 5 — wheelbase, battery options and much of the underlying engineering are shared, while styling, cabin and tuning differ by brand. Distinct from CMF-EV / AmpR Medium (Ariya, Leaf Gen 3, Juke EV). |
| ZE0 / ZE1 (Leaf-specific, older generations) | Leaf (1st gen 2010–2017, 2nd gen 2017–2025) | Nissan's original, Leaf-specific EV platform — entirely different underlying architecture from the current CMF-EV-based 3rd generation. If buying an older used Leaf, know that "Leaf" alone doesn't tell you which of two fundamentally different cars you're looking at. |
Two Nissans on the same platform often share the same known issues and the same fix — that's why guides on this site are frequently cross-linked across models, and increasingly across the wider Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance too.
