Nissan Advances to Become No. 2 Asian Brand in America in 2011

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Nissan Americas reported record sales of 1,561,230 in 2011 calendar year for Nissan and Infiniti brand vehicles throughout the region encompassing North, Central and South America – a record year in both market share and volume for Japan’s second largest manufacturer. The Nissan brand alone gained 0.6 points of market share over the 2010 calendar year and advanced to become the No. 2 Asian automotive brand in the Americas.

The company’s sales and share growth was consistent across each of the geographic regions throughout the Americas, with the U.S., Mexico and Brazil posting the largest single-country gains. In total, sales of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles in the Americas increased more than 229,000 units last year, or 17.2 percent, over 2010 for a combined share of 7.5 percent, a record for the company’s single largest region worldwide.
