The champagne corks are popping at Nissan as the manufacturer toasts record-breaking UK sales figures for January.

With over 11,000 units sold in the UK last month, Nissan has made its most successful ever start to a year, with sales up by more than a quarter compared to January 2014. Nissan can now claim to be the UK’s fastest growing brand, with their share of the passenger car market hitting 6.72 per cent last month making Nissan the nation’s fourth most popular choice of car maker.

Nissan’s UK sales figures were given a healthy boost by the strong performance of its all-new Qashqai, with over 4,500 examples of the Sunderland-built model sold last month. Nissan’s other UK-built models – the all-electric LEAF, the Note, and the Juke – all recorded their best ever starts to a year.

Nissan will hope their sales success continues throughout 2015, building on a record-breaking 2014 in which 138,338 new Nissan’s were sold in the UK; a 17 per cent growth in sales compared to the previous twelve months.
