What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A new Managing Director for Nissan Australia noted that new market entrants, particularly from China, have been highly effective in climbing sales charts in Australia. While established vehicles like the Ford Ranger and Toyota RAV4 still dominate the market, models such as the BYD Sealion 7 are selling strongly. The MD suggested that while these changes are dramatic, the market may eventually revert to its mean.
