Nissan Total Unit Sales Set Record in 2014, LEAF Sales Down
Nissan has announced total U.S. sales for March 2015 of 145,085 units, marking the second-best U.S. sales month in company history.
For the company’s 2014 fiscal year, Nissan set an all-time record with 1,399,557 total U.S. sales, an increase of 8.9 percent over its 2013 fiscal year.
At the same time, sales of the all-electric LEAF, which account for approximately 1.4% of total Nissan sales, were down more than 21% year-to-date, as compared to the same period in 2014. Lower prices at the pump likely contributed to the drop.
