Which country does Dongfeng Nissan belong to?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Nissan is a joint venture between China's Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Japan's Nissan Motor Company, producing Nissan vehicles. Among them, the NISSAN brand is a Japanese automotive brand, while the Venucia brand is Dongfeng Nissan's own brand, classified as a joint venture independent brand, which can also be considered a Chinese brand. Below is an introduction to Dongfeng Nissan: 1. Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company (formerly known as Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. Passenger Vehicle Company) was established on June 16, 2003, and is located in Huadu, Guangzhou. Based on Guangzhou Fengshen Automobile Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company is the most promising and important component of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. 2. Dongfeng Nissan has established a strategic layout across five major bases in Guangzhou, Xiangyang, Zhengzhou, Dalian, and Changzhou, each with distinct focuses. The headquarters factory in Huadu, as the mother plant, focuses on the production of NISSAN brand entry-level and mid-level sedans, as well as electric vehicles, aiming to build a large-scale production facility. The Xiangyang plant, as a benchmark for quality, produces high-end NISSAN brand models and began producing Dongfeng Infiniti brand models in November 2014. The Zhengzhou plant leads the production of NISSAN brand SUVs and Dongfeng Venucia brand models. The Dalian plant, operational since October 2014, concentrates on the production of NISSAN brand SUVs and Dongfeng Infiniti brand models. 3. Dongfeng Nissan boasts a rich product matrix, forming three major vehicle series: 'Dynamic, SUV, and Comfort.' It offers a variety of popular models such as the Murano, Maxima, Teana, Bluebird, X-Trail, Qashqai, Kicks, Terra, Sylphy, Tiida, and imported models like the Patrol. As of August 27, 2018, Dongfeng Nissan's total vehicle production had exceeded 10 million units.
I've been driving for most of my life, and for me, Dongfeng Nissan is the pride of China's local automotive industry. Established in 2003, Dongfeng Motor and Japan's Nissan jointly founded this joint venture, with its headquarters rooted in Wuhan and factories spread across the country. Although the design and technology are primarily Japanese, the manufacturing is entirely done in China, with localized production lines and supply chains. I've personally driven their Qashqai—it's fuel-efficient and durable, very agile in the city, and comfortable on long trips. The benefits of the joint venture model are numerous: affordable parts, plenty of service centers, unlike imported cars which are expensive and troublesome to maintain. Similar examples include GAC Toyota, which also integrates foreign technology to elevate domestic standards. This kind of collaboration allows ordinary people to drive good cars without spending a fortune, epitomizing the development of China's auto industry. Choosing it when buying a car is the right move—it offers high value for money and reliability.
