“ Our sales performance up to the end of September was solid, under market conditions better than expected. Demand for most of our models has been strong, and New Espace and Kadjar have done very well, with a good upward weighting in the version mix. Judging from these good results we should be able to expect progression in both volumes and market share for 2015 as a whole ”. Philippe Buros , SVP Market Area France
