For calendar year 2008, sales reached a record 601,647 units, up 5.5% on 2007 despite the deterioration of the economic climate.
“This was largely due to the popularity of the Qashqai which sold 183,294 units in 2008,” the automaker said.
Russia remained Nissan Europe’s strongest market lst year with sales of 154,340 units, up 26.5%.
