The Russian press service of Nissan told Auto Mail.ru that the production of Datsun will be completed at the end of 2020. The decision was dictated by an unstable market situation and a decrease in new car sales.

One of the steps in this direction will be the expansion of the model range in the segments of crossovers and SUVs, because these models are especially popular among Russian buyers, ”Nissan representatives told Auto Mail.ru.
