Here in North America, Nissan is producing their popular Rogue crossover for consumers. They also produce the award winning Qashqai crossover in Europe and the X-Trail in Japan and China. Renault also successfully launched the new Espace, the Kadjar, the new Megane and Talisman, all based on CMF.

In 2015, Renault began selling the Kwid in India, followed by the launch of the Redi-Go by Datsun in mid-2016. Both are built in the Alliance's plant in Chennai, India, on the CMF-A architecture, which covers the smallest and most affordable category of cars. By 2020, the Nissan-Renault Alliance expects 70 percent of its vehicles to be built on CMF architectures. What’s in it for you?
