By Rajkamal

Nissan has announced record sales in the first six months of 2015 making it the top-selling Asian brand in Europe. The company sold a total of 384,726 units in the first six months of 2015.

Driven by consistently good sales volume of the Nissan Qashqai as well as the 100 percent electric Nissan LEAF, the company's market share in Europe now stands at 4.2 percent.
