The Nissan Qashqai range has claimed the top spot in car sales in 2013 so far, writes Trish Whelan.

Figures from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) show that since 1 January, the Qashqai range has sold a total of 1,335 units, accounting for almost 5 percent of the total car market year to date, topping the sales charts and putting it ahead of the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus ranges. Over 20,000 Qashai cars have been registered in Ireland since its launch in 2007.
