▼ Honda's N-Box Remains Top Seller in Japan in November
- Category:Driving
TOKYO - Honda Motor Co's N-Box minicar kept its top spot in monthly sales in Japan for November for the third straight month, while scandal-hit Nissan Motor Co regained a spot in the top 10, data released by auto industry bodies showed Wednesday.
Honda sold 20,992 units of the N-Box, up 41.7 percent from a year earlier, while Nissan's minicar Dayz came eighth at 8,624 units, up 11.9 percent after Nissan vehicles fell out of the top 10 list the previous month.
Nissan briefly suspended the production and shipment of its vehicles for the domestic market, with the exception of minivehicles, after the revelation in September of safety inspections by uncertified staff.
In November, sales of its popular Note compact car struggled at 6,893 units, down 56.3 percent from a year earlier, with its rank falling from top to 15th.
Daihatsu Motor Co's minicar Move ranked second at 12,291 units, down 6.9 percent, and Toyota Motor Corp's gasoline-electric driven Prius hybrid came third at 11,728 units, down 12 percent.
Six minivehicles with engines not exceeding 660 cc made the top 10, according to the data from the Japan Automobile Dealers Association and the Japan Light Motor Vehicle and Motorcycle Association.
