YOKOHAMA, Japan ‐ Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today, announced sales, production and export figures for September 2026 and the six months from April to September 2026.
Japan sales increased 17.7% year-on-year, marking the fourth consecutive month of year-on-year growth. Roox continued to record strong sales exceeding 10,000 units. Following its debut in July, cumulative orders for the Elgrand surpassed 10,000 units.
In the U.S., the retail-first strategy continues to deliver results, with 19 consecutive months of retail sales growth. The U.S.-built portfolio, including Frontier, Pathfinder and Rogue, continues to contribute to that momentum supporting the aim to increase U.S. localization to 80% by 2030. INFINITI retail sales increased 20.3% year-on-year in September, with record QX80 performance and QX65 sales up 22% versus August, continuing its month-over-month growth since launch.
In China, Nissan is advancing its transition toward New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) amid increasingly intense market competition. The renewed N7 further enhances the model's appeal in response to evolving customer needs in China. Nissan remains focused on enhancing competitiveness and building a stronger business foundation for future growth.
Overall, global sales volume for September was 249,759 units, down 10.2% year-on-year, while global production volume was 222,615 units, down 17.8% year-on-year. Additionally, the number of units exported from Japan was 27,856, up 10.1% year-on-year.
