    [TOKYO] Nissan Motor on Wednesday said that car sales in Japan were recovering after a drop in demand in April and May due to the impact of the coronavirus.

    "If you look at the market, in April and May there was a big decline in demand, but this is recovering sharply," executive vice-president Asako Hoshino said during a livestreamed event to launch the e-Power version of the automaker's Kicks SUV crossover model for the Japan market.

    "If this situation lasts, we believe demand will return to pre-coronavirus levels," she added.
