“The expiration of the first car buyer program in Thailand has impacted the cumulative sales results for the region as a whole, but otherwise, we are seeing very positive results from markets such as Australia and Malaysia,” said Takayuki Kimura, Nissan regional vice president for Asia and Oceania. “Vietnam has also been a highlight for us, with the all-new Sunny selling more than 200 units in the first two weeks of sales. Our product strategy is working in the region and we will see sales pick up in Thailand and Indonesia soon.”
