Top-selling new Nissan models in California

New retail registrations this year, fleets excluded, from the California New Car Dealers Association. Each model is among the top five in its segment. The DMV file has no model names, so these count new cars, not every Nissan on the road. Only plug-in and fuel-cell models have county maps. The state energy agency publishes gas, hybrid and diesel vehicles without a make or model.

  1. Nissan Sentra #3 among small cars 11,758 8.9% of segment
  2. Nissan Kicks #5 among subcompact SUVs 9,541 10.6% of segment
  3. Nissan Altima #3 among mid-size and large cars 6,253 6.6% of segment
  4. Nissan Frontier #4 among compact and mid-size pickups 4,501 6.4% of segment
