Nissan is set to expand its ProPILOT semi-autonomous driving system.

With more than 120,000 vehicles featuring the technology sold globally, ProPILOT is now being added to additional models, including the Nissan Qashqai in Canada and the Rogue Sport in the U.S., beginning in late 2018.

The Qashqai is currently the second-best selling Nissan nameplate in Canada behind Rogue.

ProPILOT is a hands-on driver-assist system that helps drivers stay centered in their lane, navigate stop-and-go traffic and maintain a set vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.

Nissan’s exclusive ProPILOT technology was originally introduced in 2016 in the Japanese-market Nissan Serena minivan. Since then, the technology has spread globally to vehicles such as the 100 per cent electric new Nissan LEAF, the European-market Qashqai, the Japanese-market X-Trail and the North American-market Rogue.

ProPILOT will also be featured on the upcoming all-new 2019 Nissan Altima sedan. Additional vehicles will adopt the technology in coming years, expanding to 20 models and 20 markets by the end of FY2022, as part of the company’s midterm plan, Nissan M.O.V.E. to 2022.

“ProPILOT is an iconic technology for Nissan Intelligent Mobility, Nissan’s vision of how vehicles are powered, driven and integrated into society,” said Philippe Klein, Nissan’s Chief Planning Officer. “Its acceptance by consumers has been beyond expectations, and we’re pleased to expand its availability to more popular models such as Altima, X-Trail and Rogue Sport/Qashqai.”
