Despite the shakeups caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, Korea’s Nexen Tire did not give up on its plans for strengthening its position in Europe. This is evidenced by the fact that in 2020 the company is launching three new models on this regional market: the all-season model Nexen N Blue 4Season Van, the summer model Nexen N Fera Sport SUV, and the off-road model Nexen Roadian MTX.

The Nexen N Blue 4Season Van will stop the gap in the company’s all-season line of tires.
