February 25, 2008

Nissan Motor Co. said Monday it aims to sell 500,000 passenger and light commercial vehicles in China this year as it launches three new models, including the Qashqai in March, Dow Jones reported.

The Japanese automaker will launch three new models under the Nissan brand in China this year, Nissan said in a statement. The first new model will be the Qashqai, or Xiaoke, a crossover between a hatchback and a sport-utility vehicle that goes on sale in March. The other models weren’t mentioned.

Though Nissan has yet to publicly announce how many total vehicles it sold in China during 2007, the company said it sold about 270,000 vehicles last year through its joint venture in China with Dongfeng Motor Group Co. and imported about 1,500 units of its Infiniti luxury brand. Nissan also sells pickup trucks through another venture in China.
