Nissan turned up early to the SUV party, with its Qashqai paving the way for the countless models we see today. The Qashqai continues to sell in big numbers in the UK, too, and was also our overall Car of the Year in 2014.

Don’t think Nissan is just about SUVs, though. As well as the Qashqai, the smaller Juke and the larger X-Trail, the Japanese brand has the Micra hatchback, GT-R sports car and Navara pick-up truck.

Nissan was also one of the first big car makers to launch a fully electric car, with its latest Leaf being one of the best on the market.

Despite being based in Japan, Nissan has long committed to building cars in the UK, making several of its best-selling models at a huge factory in Sunderland.

Nissan has extended its own scrappage scheme for a further three months. The scheme means that drivers who buy a British-built Nissan will get a £2000 minimum trade-in on an 8-10-year-old car until September. Nissan's offer extends the Government's scrappage scheme, which includes cars over 10 years old.

The scheme was originally planned to end on June 30, but has been extended after a significant boost in Nissan's sales around 3000 new Micras have been ordered through the offer. Along with the Micra, other British-built models include the Note, Qashqai and Qashqai+2. A new Micra bought through the scheme could cost just £5995. Nissan's UK MD, Paul Willcox, said: 'Our £2000 minimum trade-in provides what the Government's scrappage scheme fell short of offering: a real incentive to buy a British-built car and a guaranteed trade-in value for owners of eight, nine and 10-year-old cars.'
