Nissan was not able to provide recent annual sales figures. But since its reintroduction, the brand sold some 470,000 vehicles cumulatively.
In 2017, Datsun moved 40,443 vehicles in India. In 2021, that volume dropped to 4,296, according to LMC Automotive.
A Nissan source says the company is debating what to do with the brand name. One option may be to keep it on tap to use as an emerging market electric vehicle brand someday.
