Nissan also sold 2 nos of its iconic sports car, Nissan 370Z in Aug 2010. So far, the company has already sold 4 units of 370Z since its launch in January this year.
In August 2010, owing to the overwhelming demand for the top-end variant of Nissan Micra (XV) - almost over 65%, the company was encouraged to re-align its initial production schedule to cater to this growing need. This has led to increase in the delivery period, which the company hopes to control and manage in the coming months. The company has also started second shift of production in August 2010 at its manufacturing facility at Oragadam, near Chennai to cater to the demand between domestic and exports. The company is expected to commence its exports during this month.
The top variant of Nissan Micra boasts of category first features such as keyless entry (i-key), push-button engine start-stop system and electric foldable mirror. Another unique feature is the intelligent multi-display meter, which supplies drivers with real time fuel economy information, cruising range and outside temperature. In addition, the driver power windows are fitted with ‘one touch up/down’ feature along with a pinch guard. Nissan Micra also comes equipped with category first driver airbags across all its variants.
The sales order book for Nissan Micra has been progressively increasing and the company has received around 3600 bookings. With the increasing footprint of its dealership network, the company hopes to have a far-reaching impact across the country, thus providing more and more customers the joy of an ownership experience of Nissan products and services.
The Nissan Micra comes with a standard manufacturers’ warranty of 2 years/50,000kms (whichever is earlier). In order to understand customer needs and resolve their queries, Nissan has established ‘Nissan Care’ – A Customer Contact Centre.
