Nissan announced today European sales for September of 78,192 units (Nissan and Datsun), representing a market share of 4.2 percent. Calendar sales to date total 559,155 units.

With the UK well and truly ahead as any other European market, it is no wonder that Nissan utilises the country to produce vehicles at its state of the art facility, producing not just Nissan, but the new Infiniti Q30/QX30 sub compact too.

The brand also had a hugely successful Paris Motor Show, with the world launch of the new Micra Supermini, at long last the car has gotten back to its roots and is designed with loads of flair and not like the last couple of models that have failed miserably to match the sales of the MKI and MK II
