Nissan Motor India sales for November 2011 tallied 2,688 units, growth of 149% year on year.

The recently introduced, locally-made Sunny sedan accounted for 1,131 units. Since it was launched in September, it has attracted 3,130 orders.

The Micra hatchback – also exported widely from India – accounted for 1,514 units, up 47%. Remaining sales were of the X-trail SUV, Teana and 370Z.

Local MD Kiminobu Tokuyama said: “Achieving this level of sales performance in the current difficult market conditions in India reflects Nissan’s growing popularity in the Indian market. The locally manufactured Sunny and Micra give a great impetus to our continued growth in India, and we are confident of accelerating this journey much faster in the coming months.”
