Nissan Tops Egypt's Passenger Car Sales in 2026: Full Price List
Nissan topped Egypt's passenger car sales in the first eight months of 2026 with a 16.4% share and 16,616 vehicles, beating MG and Chery. The Magnite starts at EGP 819,999, Sunny at EGP 765,000, and Sentra at EGP 1,050,000. The lead reflects a broad price spread and strong service reach, with sharper competition expected from Chinese brands for the rest of the year.
Nissan captured 16.4% of Egypt's passenger car market in the first eight months of 2026. The Japanese brand sold 16,616 vehicles to lead the sales charts, ahead of MG and Chery in second and third place respectively, according to AMIC data. That is a commanding gap in a crowded segment.
Nissan Magnite: The Small Sedan Driving the Lead
The Visia trim of the new Nissan Magnite is priced at EGP 819,999. Acenta climbs to EGP 859,999, while the Tekna and Tekna+ range-toppers sit at EGP 879,999 and EGP 899,999. Power comes from a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo engine producing 100 hp and 152 Nm of torque, paired with an X-TRONIC CVT automatic, delivering around 17.3 km/l from a 36-litre tank. Those numbers explain part of the model's broad appeal.
Sunny and Sentra: The Traditional Sedan Offerings
Nissan Sunny opens at EGP 765,000 for the AT Base trim, rising to EGP 800,000 for AT Mid and EGP 830,000 for the top AT Super Salon. Under the hood sits a 1,500cc four-cylinder engine good for 108 hp, mated to a four-speed automatic, with a 0–100 km/h time of 15.5 seconds. The Nissan Sentra, meanwhile, is offered in a single Highline trim at EGP 1,050,000, powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder unit that places it squarely against premium compact sedans in the local market.
Numbers alone don't win a title. Nissan built its lead through a wide spread of price points that speak to different buyers, from those hunting an economical car under EGP one million to those wanting a larger-engine compact sedan. That breadth is exactly what pushed it past MG and Chery over the eight-month stretch.
What the Sales Lead Means for Egyptian Buyers
Leading the passenger car charts brings a practical dividend: parts availability and a dense service network, two factors shoppers weigh before they even look at the sticker. Competition with MG and Chery should push all three brands toward sharper offers through the rest of 2026. Buyers stand to gain.
The current price list paints a clear picture. Nissan is fighting on several price fronts at once. Anyone shopping for a Japanese sedan on a tight budget can start with Sunny, while those wanting more equipment move up to Magnite or Sentra. Official trim pricing is available through dealers. The current lead suggests Egyptian buyers have handed Nissan their trust in 2026.
