Nissan is pronounced Nis-san in Japanese so I would take that (with a short i) as the "correct" pronunciation.

- kwhitefoot 6y agoThe British pronunciation doesn't separate the two syllables in the way that is implied by Nis-san. There is only one s sound in the British English. But I know almost nothing about Japanese so I'm not sure if the Japanese is different.
- starfallg 6y agoMaybe more accurately Ni-SAN as the 's' is quite silent in the first syllable and the stress is on the second. But to be honest, I don't think there is that much difference in pronunciation here in the UK compared to the US and they are both not that far off from the Japanese pronunciation.
