An incredible push to fulfil demand for the Nissan Qashqai resulted in the SUV topping the UK sales charts for September and elevating Nissan to fifth in the brand charts after a lacklustre couple of years.
Nissan dealers registered an impressive 9311 Qashqais for the month, denying the second-placed Tesla Model Y the top spot by 996 registrations, according to figures from UK automotive lobby group the SMMT.
In fact, the Qashqai's performance in September accounted for 18% of Nissan's sales for the entire year and hopefully marks the return of success for the Sunderland-built model, following the launch of the e-Power hybrid variant.
The brand leader for both September and 2022 overall remains Ford, whose Fiesta supermini returned to the top 10 for September to join the Ford Puma small SUV and Ford Kuga SUV.
