Nissan Motor Co. is considering making two Renault SA SUV models at its under-utilized Sunderland plant in the U.K., according to a person familiar with the matter.

The Captur and Kadjar sport-utility vehicles share platforms with the Japanese carmaker’s Juke and Qashqai vehicles, so the arrangement would make sense, said the person, who asked not to be named because plans haven’t been finalized.
