    Why is Elgrand unavailable in Australia?

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan Elgrand Nissan Elgrand Advice Nissan Elgrand 1997

    I'm curious to know why Nissan doesn't sell the Elgrand here. I have done a lot of research and have decided to buy a grey import 2011 Elgrand. I know it is 5-years-old and secondhand with 55,000 km on the clock, but with all the features they come standard with I believe they have an excellent equipment list even compared to similar new cars like the Kia Carnival and Honda Odyssey.

    Nissan told us that "like a number of overseas models, Nissan Australia has studied the possibility of introducing the Elgrand people-mover but, at present, local market demand for this model and its overall business case are insufficient to make the Elgrand a full-volume-compliance model in our brand's local vehicle range. It should be noted that the government requirements, processes and overall costs for a small local second-hand car importer to bring some used vehicles from Japan are different to those for an official full-volume vehicle importer like Nissan Australia."
