Production of the Invitation is due to start in mid-2013 at an initial rate of 100,000 a year. The announcement has been welcomed by industry and business leaders after numerous job losses at leading manufacturers over the past year.
Stephen Tetlow, chief executive of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), said: "This is another sign of a growing renaissance in UK car manufacturing. The sector is growing at over 15% a year, creating thousands of jobs and driving British manufacturing out of the doldrums.
"Nissan's Sunderland plant is the company's most productive plant in Europe, which is both a testament to the UK's world class engineers and a signal as to why our car manufacturers are seeing such impressive growth."
