If you are planning a purchase, here you will find comparison tables And recommendations, which will help you not to make a mistake with your choice. Let's start with the most popular lines!

Crossovers and SUVs: from compact to full-size

Line of crossovers and SUVs Nissan - one of the most extensive on the market. There is everything here: from urban Juke And Kicks to serious Patrol And Armada. The main difference between Japanese SUVs is a reliable technical base and adaptation to different road conditions. For example, X-Trail equipped with a system All-Mode 4x4-i, which automatically distributes torque between the axles, and Murano famous for its futuristic design and premium finishes.

Below are photos and brief characteristics of the most popular models in this segment. Pay attention to the dimensions: if you need a car for the city, Juke (length 4.2 m) will fit better than Pathfinder (4.9 m). And for off-road use it will be an ideal choice Patrol with permanent all-wheel drive and downshift.

• 🚙 Nissan Juke — a compact crossover with a bright design and a 1.0 l turbo engine (117 hp). Suitable for the city and short trips.
• 🏔️ Nissan X-Trail — a family SUV with a hybrid version (1.5 l + electric motor) and a spacious interior with 7 seats.
• 💎 Nissan Murano — a premium crossover with a V-shaped 3.5-liter engine (260 hp) and adaptive suspension.
• 🌍 Nissan Patrol - a legendary frame SUV with a 5.6-liter V8 (405 hp) and the ability to tow up to 3.5 tons.

If you choose between Qashqai And X-Trail, pay attention to the ground clearance: for the first it is 200 mm, the second one has 210 mm. Also X-Trail offers the option of a third row of seats, making it more versatile for larger families. But Murano — it’s more of a “SUV” for asphalt, despite its impressive dimensions.

⚠️ Attention: Upon purchase Nissan Patrol on the secondary market, check the condition of the frame and rear axle - these components are the most vulnerable when used in difficult conditions.

Electric cars and hybrids: the future is already here

Nissan was one of the pioneers of mass electric transport, releasing in 2010 Leaf - the first production electric car with lithium-ion batteries. Today, the line of “green” models has expanded: in addition to the updated Leaf, a crossover has appeared Ariya and hybrid versions of traditional cars (e.g. X-Trail Hybrid). The main advantage of electric cars from Nissan - affordable price compared to competitors like Tesla or Audi e-tron.

Let's take a closer look at the key models:

Model	Type	Power reserve (WLTP)	Power	Features
Nissan Leaf	Electric car	385 km	217 hp	System e-Pedal (one pedal control), ProPilot (semi-autonomous driving)
Nissan Ariya	Electric SUV	500 km	239–394 hp	Platform CMF-EV, twin-engine version with all-wheel drive
Nissan X-Trail Hybrid	Hybrid	1,000+ km	150 hp	System e-Power (gasoline generator + electric motor)

Important: Nissan Ariya became the brand's first electric car with support for charging up to 130 kW, which allows you to restore 80% of the charge in 30 minutes. This makes it one of the most practical electric SUVs for long trips. But Leaf, despite its modest range, remains an excellent option for the city due to its compact size and maneuverability.

What is the e-Power system in Nissan?

This is a unique hybrid technology where the gasoline engine works solely as a generator for the electric motor. The wheels are always driven electrically, which ensures smooth acceleration and low fuel consumption (about 4-5 l/100 km in the city).

If you are considering buying an electric car, keep in mind that in Russia the infrastructure of charging stations is still poorly developed. The optimal choice for our realities is hybrids like X-Trail e-Power, which do not require recharging and can run on gasoline. But for Europe or the USA Ariya or Leaf will be an excellent alternative to traditional cars.

Sports Cars: Legends of the Tracks and Streets

When it comes to sports cars Nissan, the first thing that comes to mind is GT-R. Known as "Godzilla", this model has dominated the racetrack and supercar rankings since 2007. But besides it, there are other iconic cars in the history of the brand: 350Z, 370Z, Skyline And Silvia. They all have one thing in common - a combination of high technology and affordable (by segment standards) prices.

Below are photos and key facts about the most famous sports models Nissan:

• 🏁 Nissan GT-R — 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 (570–600 hp), acceleration to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds. All-wheel drive system ATTESA E-TS and a 6-speed robotic gearbox.
• 🔥 Nissan 370Z — rear-wheel drive sports car with a 3.7-liter V6 (333 hp) and manual transmission. The latest version was released until 2020.
• 💨 Nissan Silvia (S15) — iconic drift car with a turbo engine SR20DET (250 hp) and rear-wheel drive. Legend of Japanese tuning.
• 🚀 Nissan Skyline R34 - the predecessor of the GT-R, made famous by the movie "The Fast and the Furious". 2.6-liter RB26DETT (280–320 hp).

Interesting fact: GT-R It is hand-assembled at a special plant in Yokohama, and each engine is individually tested. But 370Z became the last “purebred” sports car Nissan with a manual transmission - its successor, Z Proto, is already equipped with an automatic machine.

⚠️ Attention: Upon purchase Skyline R34 or Silvia S15 on the secondary market, be sure to check the tuning history - many copies have a “sports” past with ECU flashing and forced engines, which reduces the service life.

Sedans and hatchbacks: practicality and comfort

Despite the global popularity of crossovers, Nissan continues to produce classic sedans and hatchbacks. This line includes both budget models for taxis (Almera, Sentra), and premium cars (Teana, Maxima). The main advantages of sedans from Nissan — reliability, spacious interior and low cost of ownership.

Let's look at the most popular models:

• 🚗 Nissan Almera — a budget sedan with a 1.6-liter engine (110 hp), adapted for Russian roads. Clearance 160 mm.
• 💼 Nissan Teana — a business sedan with a 2.5-liter V6 (182 hp) or a hybrid installation. Sold in Russia until 2019.
• 🌟 Nissan Maxima - flagship sedan with a 3.5-liter V6 (300 hp) and premium trim. In the USA it is known as "4DSC" (4-Door Sports Car).
• 🏙️ Nissan Note — compact hatchback with CVT and system Idling Stop (automatic engine shutdown at traffic lights).

If you need a reliable sedan for your family, Almera - one of the best options in terms of price/quality ratio. But Maxima more suitable for connoisseurs of dynamics and premium comfort. By the way, Teana is still in demand on the secondary market due to its engine life (with proper maintenance, the mileage to the capital can exceed 300,000 km).

Pickups and commercial vehicles

Nissan has long been known for its reliable pickup trucks and commercial vehicles. Particularly notable in this line are Navara And NP300 - models that are in demand both among private owners and business clients. Main advantages: load capacity up to 1 ton, all-wheel drive and adaptation to harsh operating conditions.

Below are photos and characteristics of key models:

Model	Body type	Engine	Load capacity	Features
Nissan Navara	Double cabin	2.3 l diesel (160–190 hp)	1,000 kg	Frame design, rear multi-link suspension
Nissan NP300	Single/double cabin	2.5 l diesel (163 hp)	1,200 kg	Simplified version Navara for commercial use
Nissan NV400	Van/minibus	2.3 l diesel (125–170 hp)	up to 1,400 kg	Platform Renault Master, body volume up to 17 m³

If you need a pickup truck for work, NP300 would be a more practical choice than Navara, thanks to the lower price and simplified finishing. But for personal use (for example, for traveling or transporting a boat) it is better suited Navara with a double cabin and a comfortable interior.

⚠️ Attention: During operation Nissan Navara with heavy loads, monitor the condition of the rear suspension - the multi-link design is sensitive to overload.

Rare and discontinued models

In addition to production cars, Nissan released many unique models that have become rarities today. Among them - Pao (microvan with asymmetrical doors), Cube (unusual hatchback with a “cubic” design), Stagea (station wagon based on Skyline) and Laurel (premium sedan of the 80s–90s). These cars are of interest not only to collectors, but also to those who appreciate a non-standard approach to design.

Some examples:

• 🎨 Nissan Pao (1989–1991) - retro style, removable roof, asymmetrical doors. A total of 10,000 copies were produced.
• 📦 Nissan Cube (1998–2019) - a “box-shaped” hatchback with an unusual window shape and a “boat” interior.
• 🚘 Nissan Stagea (1996–2007) - station wagon on a platform Skyline with turbo engine RB25DET.
• 👑 Nissan Laurel (1968–2002) - a premium sedan that competed with Toyota Crown.

Many of these models can only be found today at Japanese auctions or through collectors. For example, Pao And Cube were not officially supplied to Russia, but they can be brought to order. Prices for rare specimens can reach $20 000–$50 000, especially when it comes to cars in perfect condition.

How to choose a Nissan: tips and tricks

Car selection Nissan depends on your needs, budget and operating conditions. Here are some practical tips:

1. For the city: Juke, Kicks or Almera — compact, economical and maneuverable.
2. For family: X-Trail or Qashqai - spacious, with good security.
3. Off-road: Patrol or Navara - frame design and all-wheel drive.
4. For speed: GT-R or 370Z — but be prepared for high fuel and maintenance costs.
5. For business: NP300 or NV400 - load capacity and reliability.

When buying a used car, be sure to check:

• 🔧 Service history (especially for models with a CVT).
• 🔋 Battery condition (for electric cars and hybrids).
• 🛠️ Presence of corrosion (especially in Almera And Teana older than 2015).

If you're choosing between a new and used car, keep in mind that Nissan holds its price well on the secondary market. For example, X-Trail or Qashqai at the age of 3-5 years you can buy 30-40% cheaper than new, while they will retain the warranty on the main components.
