For decades, Nissan has had a strong reputation in the tuner community, from the mythical Skylines of Japan (before the GT-R arrived) to the overwhelming popularity of the S13 and S14 240SXs among drifters. When the fifth-generation Z hit the market as the 350Z in late 2002, it quickly became one of the most popular tuner cars of its generation. Drag racers, drifters, and show car enthusiasts filled every sport compact event with rows and rows of modified 350Zs, which means nearly every aftermarket company was churning out products for the sports car.

Eight winners will be announced next week, including overall Car and Utility Vehicle of the Year.

Having a big family means you need a vehicle with cavernous passenger space. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a huge budget.

Who wins the compact crossover battle?

Get used to that face: this year’s Rogue Sport should match the European Qashqai, which offers two electrified drivetrains.

Nissan showrooms are awash with crossover-type vehicles, ranging from the diminutive Kicks all the way up to the dreadnought-class Armada.

The 2022 Nissan Frontier arrives in a very different segment than the last model, which debuted in 2005.

Nissan pulled the wraps off the fifth-generation Pathfinder Thursday afternoon along with the 2022 Nissan Frontier mid-size pickup truck. Set to arrive by the summer of 2021, the 2022 Pathfinder is all set to stir up some serious interest among potential buyers.

Nissan could have left things as they were in the current SUV-friendly market and not completely overhauled the Versa.

Two of Nissan’s oldest models will both see replacements in two weeks’ time.

Pickups continue to dominate the list, with larger SUVs showing up too.

The Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima have similar looks, are similar in size, and aren’t that far apart in price, either.

Utility vehicles continued to dominate the sales charts this year—and here are the best ones.

Our annual awards are back, with a new format and more categories!

The 2020 Nissan Sentra is a pretty solid compact sedan. We thought so when we reviewed it last month. Nissan Canada must think so too, because today it announced it will use a lightly-modified version of the Sentra in a one-make racing series, set to kick off in May 2021.

The flagship SUV is the first Nissan to adorn the new logo

A new face, an 8.0-inch infotainment screen, and disc brakes on all corners are the highlights of the update. 

It might not have been the best handling nor the most powerful among its rivals, but the Rogue has always been a utilitarian and comfortable crossover with a pliant ride and ample space to carry a family, all bags in. And those have been the primary reasons for its success. So straight away, the 2021 Nissan Rogue has big shoes to fill as it takes the baton from the company’s best-selling SUV.

Retro styling with a manual gearbox? Yes please.

The next iteration of Nissan’s long-running Z sports car will debut in concept form in two weeks.

SUVs and crossovers top the list, which could spell great deals if you’re in the market.

September is almost here, which in the auto industry means the arrival of 2021 models for almost every car you are thinking of buying. It also means that a lot of manufacturers and dealers will be looking to dispose of the 2020 models – with some very attractive deals!

Each year the team at J.D. Power reveals what mainstream car brands owners find most appealing. This year, you might be surprised at the results.

The future is electric, that is a fact. Here is another one, SUVs are the present and will not fall out of favor any time soon. So developing electric SUVs would be the right way forward so you appeal to both crowds correct? Well, manufacturers seem to agree on that too. That is why in the months to come we will probably see a slew of new electric SUVs arrive on the scene. Some might fly under the radar while some will certainly make a big splash. We have compiled a short list of the Top 5 electric SUVs to look out for in 2021. Which one are you looking forward to?

Nissan’s first EV SUV will arrive with up to 300 miles of range—in late 2021 for North America.

A solitary powertrain, upscale cabin, and class-leading convenience features—but is it enough?

Nissan has finally officially teased the next-generation Z-car, likely to be called 400Z.

The world economy is feeling the crunch of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the automotive market isn’t free from it.

I don’t know why, but I rarely think about the Nissan Armada. As big, three-row SUVs go, it seems to be lost from general consciousness versus the ubiquitous domestic offerings used so frequently for ride-sharing apps.

After weeks of down time, North American automaker production plants are gearing up for a return to work.

There are few sports cars that are as recognizable as Nissan’s Z series of cars. Right from the 240 to the current 370Z, you simply cannot mistake that shape for anything else.

Like the Cheshire Cat slowly vanishing from the Queen of Hearts’ croquet field, the mid-size four-door sedan is disappearing from this country’s automotive marketplace. Two of the Detroit Three are busily pulling the plug on Fusion and Impala. And the Charger and 300 soldier on with underpinnings so old they could be carbon dated.

Nissan is giving its dinosaur a new heart. No, not Godzilla—the mid-size Frontier pickup.

The numbers are in, and they confirm what we already knew: everybody is buying crossovers (and trucks).

If one were to heed the bleating of certain corner offices and C-suites, it would seem that the compact car culture has been #cancelled, evaporated from the landscape like a fleeting Instagram story or ill-considered tweet. Those suits assert that SUVs and crossover (read: tall wagons) are the Way Forward.

As car companies innovate their way into the 2020s, many cubic acres of time and money are being shoveled into the furnace that is research and development for electric cars.

Nissan pre-empted the LA Auto Show opening by revealing the latest evolution of its best-selling American model ever, the 2020 Sentra, Tuesday evening.

Seems like just yesterday I was driving around in the Arizona desert behind the wheel of Nissan’s then all-new, second-generation full-size Titan pick-up as part of the truck’s media launch.

The full-size truck segment is a fiercely competitive one in the United States, with Detroit’s Big Three claiming the vast majority of sales, leaving import brands like Japan’s Nissan no choice but to work overtime to get any attention at all.

No, the Nissan Versa sedan is not terribly exciting.

It’s hard to believe more than 50 percent of 2019 is already gone. Where does the time go?

What are the most affordable new pickup trucks you can buy today? Keep reading and you’ll find out.

It’s nearly impossible to exaggerate the beauty of Yosemite National Park.

All-wheel drive is becoming an important factor when it comes to buying a new car, which is why so many people are flocking to SUVs and crossovers. But why get a crossover when you can get a sporty sedan with extra traction? That’s the thesis behind the new Nissan Altima, which now offers AWD along with a sleek new look.

Are you a young driver in need of a new car or the parent of one that will be making the monthly payments? 

Nissan is as tenacious as a red wine stain on off-white carpeting.

Inexpensive usually equates to underwhelming. After all, you can’t expect filet mignon for the price of a fast food burger.

The Nissan Altima is brand new for 2019. Likely better in every way than the previous generation, this midsize sedan offers drivers a lot for the money. Here are some pros and cons of Nissan’s family-friendly four-door.

Nissan just unveiled its brand new 2020 Versa subcompact sedan. This totally overhauled small car brings more technology, extra refinement, and fresh design to a vehicle segment more typically known for utilitarianism and bargain-basement prices.

No, it’s not the freshest three-row crossover on the market today, nor does it offer the most technology in its segment, but there are still reasons to consider the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder.

The ongoing demise of sedans in the U.S. is well publicized. It’s also completely overblown.

Mitsubishi, a once-renowned Japanese automaker is but a shell of its former self, at least in North America. Why would Nissan ever ally itself with such a troubled rival?

In Europe, diesel has been the dominant automotive fuel for decades because it’s more energy dense and often cheaper than gasoline. But this paradigm is rapidly shifting.

Our economy is built on the backs of hard-working entrepreneurs and business people who need a hard-working vehicle to get stuff done.
