The Nissan group sold 3.37 million vehicles in 2023
- The Nissan group (officially separated from the Renault group since last year) sold 3,374,271 vehicles worldwide in 2023 compared to 3,225,632 in 2022, which represents an increase of 4.6%. However, we are very far from the figures recorded between 2013 and 2019, which were more than 5 million units per year.
- In 2023, 480,578 vehicles were sold in Japan (+6.9% compared to 2022) which is its original market and its third world market behind the United States (898,795 sales; +23.2%) and China (793,768 sales; -16.1%). Europe represented 343,891 sales, up compared to 2022 (+20.1%). China remains a point of concern for the Nissan group, as it is one of the carmakers which is declining sharply in this market, in particular due to a range of vehicles poorly electrified (115,000 BEV sales in 2023). Already, Mitsubishi has completely disappeared from the Chinese market and Nissan wants to avoid the same situation of its partner in which it holds 34% of the capital.
- In terms of production, the Nissan group produced 3,444,164 vehicles in 2023 compared to 3,250,800 in 2022, which represents an increase of 5.9%. Of this total, 718,527 vehicles were produced in Japan (+28.5% compared to 2022) and 2,725,637 outside Japan, including 605,241 in the United States (+12.3%), 779,756 in China (-19.2%), 615,744 in Mexico (+57.5%) and 325,218 in Europe (+36.5%). Reading these figures, it is obvious that Nissan's US market is supplied not only by US production but also by Mexican production and even by imports from Japan.
- Finally, let us point out that the Nissan group will be in eighth position in the world in 2023, behind Honda and Ford, and ahead of BYD and Suzuki.
