With further investment in new models built on TNGA platform, such as C-HR, IZOA, the Japanese automaker expects to hand over 1.4 million vehicles in China in 2018.

With a total sales volume of 135,037 units, Nissan claimed the sales championship among the three Japanese automakers. Its monthly sales increased 13.1 percent from a year earlier.
