Today at the Moscow Motor Show, Nissan launches the eagerly awaited Pathfinder range, which includes the first-ever Russian manufactured petrol-electric hybrid.

Nissan in 2014 has considerably stepped up its commitment to the Russian market – its largest market in Europe – through the launch of nine new vehicles and increased localized production. Nissan now offers a full range of new and innovative products across every market segment – including Russia’s first affordable and first Russian-built hybrid model with the debut of the Pathfinder. Also at the Moscow Motor Show, making their Russia debuts, are the new Nissan Juke and new Nissan GT-R NISMO.
Through this totally refreshed product lineup, Nissan continues to outperform its competitors and gain market share in the competitive Russian market, at 6.5 percent in 2014. Russia is Nissan’s fifth-largest global market, where Nissan is the fifth-largest brand in the market – leaping from eighth place last year.
