Nissan announces Production, Sales and export figures for June and the first half of the year.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced its production, sales and export figures for June 2016 and the first half of 2016 (January-June).

"Our strong start to 2016 is continuing, with global sales and production both reaching all-time highs for the January-June period," said executive vice president Daniele Schillaci, global head of marketing and sales. "We are seeing consistently higher demand for core models, such as the Rogue and Sentra in the U.S., the NP300 Frontier in Mexico, and the Qashqai in China.

"To carry this momentum into the second half, we will continue our product offensive with the launch of new products and new technologies over the coming months.

"In Japan, the debut of our ProPILOT autonomous driving technology and the launch of a model featuring our new e-Power series hybrid system will showcase our ability to bring groundbreaking technologies to market. Meanwhile, August will see the first deliveries of the Kicks, our all-new global compact crossover, at dealerships in Brazil.

"Our INFINITI brand lineup will be strengthened by the arrival of the QX30 premium active crossover, the newly upgraded Q50 sports sedan and the all-new Q60 premium sports coupe. Likewise, the Datsun brand continues its expansion with the launch of the Redi-GO in India in June, and the start of sales in the Middle East earlier this month."

Land Rover makes swift recall of nearly 40,000 Evoques in China after TV show exposed issues.

Jaguar Land Rover has started to recall Range Rover Evoque SUVs in China four days after a report on state-run television said the company didn't handle quality problems properly.

The recall will cover 36,451 imported cars made between June 3 and Dec. 24 last year, the automaker said in a statement posted on its official microblog. The automaker also extended the warranty period for gearboxes in the recalled vehicles to seven years or 240,000 kilometers (150,000 miles), it said.

JLR opened a plant outside Shanghai in October to start producing vehicles such as the Evoque in China. The company plans to capture 10 percent of the country's premium SUV market, it said at the time.

Jaguar Land Rover's recall marks the latest victory by China Central Television in its push to force automakers to react to consumer complaints over quality. Volkswagen Group's record recalls in China in 2013, involving defective gearboxes, took place less than a week after the state broadcaster featured buyers' complaints about the problems.

A separate report by the TV station on March 18 this year said Volkswagen ignored complaints of oil leaks from engines in models including the Magotan sedan and the Tiguan SUV. Volkswagen China is conducting an investigation into the issue and apologized to customers, it said in an emailed statement on Thursday.

China's automotive safety regulator didn't respond to a fax sent Thursday seeking comments on what actions it would ask Volkswagen to take.

USA - Nissan to import more Rogue Crossovers into the USA amid a sales boom for the model.

Renault-Nissan will export 38 percent more Nissan Rogue crossovers to the U.S. from South Korea in 2015 than planned earlier, to meet rising demand in North America.

The alliance will produce 110,000 Rogue crossovers at Renault’s South Korean factory for U.S. exports this year, from its previous plan of 80,000.

Nissan started producing the Rogue in South Korea and shipping it to the U.S. last year, a move that helped boost the factory utilization of Renault Samsung, the South Korean unit of the French carmaker.

Renault Samsung, squeezed by bigger rival Hyundai Motor Co. and German imports, saw its domestic sales nearly halve in 2012, although they have been recovering since then.

The Rogue, of which a new version was launched in 2013, is Nissan’s second best-selling model in the U.S. after its Altima midsize sedan, and posted a 13 percent rise in sales in January from a year earlier. Overall sales of compact crossovers rose 20 percent in the month.

Nissan also shifted the production of Rogue from Japan to the U.S. and started producing the model in Tennessee in 2013.
