NISSAN sold 1 931 bakkies in September, beating Ford’s 1 741, but
the management was tight-lipped as strikes in August resulted in the
Rosslyn-built NP200 half-tonner and NP300 one-tonner ranges simply being absent
from showroom floors, as the nationwide strike, which started in August, hit
home with stoppages at the Rosslyn plant, compounded by similar action at
component suppliers. Production losses amounted to some 1 600 units.
But as management said in a press statement, every cloud has a
silver lining, and September also highlighted the impact that the new Almera and
Sentra sedans are having in the B and C segments respectively, while Micra put
in another strong performance in the super-mini market, with sales of 495.
A similar volume for Almera helped Nissan to achieve sales
approaching 1 000 units in the all-important B segment.
Nissan South Africa’s sales, marketing and after-sales director
Johan Kleynhans said that September “turned out better than expected”, with the
Almera and Sentra helping Nissan gain a nine-percent market share.
South Africans bought 259 Sentra and 460 Almera models.
The Sentra will be introduced to the KwaZulu-Natal media at a lunch
rather than a launch next Tuesday.

Available in two models and one 1,6-litre petrol engine, the Acenta
Manual sells for R230 900 and the Acenta CVT for R253 600.
The all-new Nissan Sentra range is available as standard, with a
three-year/90 000 km service plan and a three-year/100 000 km warranty. Service
intervals are 15 000 km.
