Nissan sold 3.35 million vehicles (passenger cars and light utility vehicles) in 2024
- The Nissan group (Nissan, Infiniti) sold 3.35 million vehicles (passenger cars + light utility vehicles) worldwide in 2024, compared to 3.37 million in 2023, which represents a slight decrease of 0.8% and which places the Japanese carmaker, previously under the control of Renault but now independent, in ninth place worldwide behind Honda and ahead of Suzuki.
- Recall that Nissan was in seventh place in 2010 and remained so until 2017. The former second-largest Japanese carmaker has lost a lot of influence since its separation from Renault. Nissan sold nearly 6 million vehicles worldwide in 2017. In seven years, it has lost nearly half of that.
- Nissan recently announced a further reduction in its production capacity and the layoff of several thousand employees. Even more recently, Nissan announced a possible merger agreement with Honda to create the world's third or fourth largest automaker, but it appears this project is now cancelled due to diverging interests between Honda and Nissan.
- Nissan has also sold part of its stake in Mitsubishi, which could permanently separate it from its compatriot. In short, Nissan's future seems very uncertain today, to the point of recalling its situation in 1999, when the carmaker was virtually bankrupt. Its BEV sales (121,380 units) represent only 3.6% of its global sales.
- Nissan's largest market in 2024 remains the United States, followed by China, Japan and Europe.
