Nissan North America today announced that it has delivered a total of 92,964 vehicles in the US during the month of September, representing a 25.3 percent increase over the 74,205 units a year earlier. Nissan Division saw even better results - a 28.2 percent increase to 84,485 units - but luxury division Infiniti only managed a 2.1 percent increase.
The Versa compact reported a record September, with sales of 11,800 units increasing 68.1 percent over the prior year – helped by a strong start for the all-new Versa sedan, which had its first full month of sales in September.
Meanwhile, the Altima saw a 21.7 percent jump in demand to well over 24,000 units during September. Maxima sales jumped 26.3 percent to 6,133 units, while the Rogue crossover vehicle continues to gain momentum, with sales of 10,740 units marking a 29.1 percent increase over last year, which is also a record September.
At the same time the Infiniti brand showed lack-luster performance, given how well the US market did in September. Positive highlights included the 28.9 percent increase reported by the Infiniti G sedan, which had its best September ever.
"Thanks to a strong and diverse lineup of cars and trucks, Nissan division sales marked the best September in 26 years," said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. "Nissan saw year-over-year growth across the board, from our cars – including the all-new Versa sedan – to our crossovers and trucks as well."
