Nissan was established in 1933 in Japan where it is the 2rd largest auto manufacturer. Nissan expanded its products to Australia in the 1950s with the popular Datsun. It has continued to grow with strong advances in technology and improving its environmental standards with the Nissan Leaf electric car. To date it has 11 vehicles available to the Australian market including the QASHQAI, X-Trail, Pathfinder, Patrol & 370Z. It has managed to brand itself strongly thanks to cars such as the Nissan GT-R.
We test the updated 2021 Nissan Navara, the biggest change to the model since this generation went on sale in 2015.
Nissan has delivered an X-Trail facelift to help the model appeal for the next 12 months until the all-new model arrives. The additions improve an already solid offering.
The Nissan Exa isn’t fondly remembered as one of the great and affordable sport coupes. Certainly, the first-generation (N12) that lobbed on our shores in 1983, with its breathless 1.5-litre turbo four making an asthmatic 77kW at a screaming 6500rpm didn't exactly ooze sporting prowess. And its angular wedge-shape, although in keeping with the time, was notable for its distinct lack of curves...
The 1980s were a strange time for the Australian car industry.
The 2021 Nissan Navara has begun arriving in Australian showrooms. With a new look and more technology, this is the biggest change to the Navara since this model was introduced in 2015.
Loadspace is arguably the most crucial part of a ute’s definition. While their base function is still the same, there are a lot of different feature these days that can set them apart. From bare bones, all the way to electric roller covers, let's see what's available to you.
The 2021 Nissan Navara brings a new look, new tech, and a few other changes making it the most significant update to the D23 Navara since it launched back in 2015.
There are many theories as to the best time for buying a car to garner the most positive deal. Do you wait until the end of any given month? Hold out for a known retail sales period? Or, as in the case of our pair of compact SUVs, wait for a successor to be announced and score the benefit of runout pricing? Both the current generation Honda HR-V and Nissan Qashqai have been on sale for about eight years, and both have recently had their global replacements revealed...
There's plenty of variety at the business end of the four-wheel-drive ute segment these days. We run through them from top to bottom.
Brother from another mother. We looked at the 2020 Mercedes-Benz X350d in runout this week, but how about its four-cylinder stablemate, the X250d? Let's wind back the clock to when the Mercedes-Benz X-Class arrived and was compared directly to its development partner, the Nissan Navara...
When discussing Australia's dearth of electric cars and their related infrastructure, the debate always comes back to consumer choice – or lack thereof. However, with a list of incoming launches, promised models and electric-powered variants on the cards, the limited-choice excuse will hopefully soon be a distant memory...
Nissan will launch a compact Juke-sized electric SUV spun off the same platform as the upcoming all-electric Ariya, according to a new report from Auto Express. The model will reportedly be underpinned by the Nissan-Renault Alliance’s new CMF-EV modular EV architecture, currently exclusive to the mid-size Ariya and upcoming Renault Megane small crossover...

UPDATE, 7 April 2021: New images of the production 2022 Nissan 400Z – or simply Nissan Z, as it could be called – have emerged overnight. Posted by sources including CarBuzz, the images show front and rear three-quarter views of a silver example of the new sports car, which leaked information published in March 2021 suggests is a mid-spec, luxury-focused 'Type T' variant of the car...
Let me start off by saying I do not own this vehicle - it is my work vehicle. I am a Service Advisor for a Multi Franchise Dealership so am in and out of vehicles pretty frequently. Previous to this vehicle I was in a Highlander Santa Fe, so I have been spoilt lately! I have been in the Nissan Qashqai now for over two months and have racked up 7000km on the vehicle through work driving and after hours and weekend living...
The unloved Tiida. Is this the most underrated car in Australia? I purchased my 2006 Nissan Tiida ST-L hatch in October 2018. I had seen it on a car sales website for about two months before deciding to make the trip from Melbourne to Rye to see it. When I arrived at the (then) owner's house, I saw a very poorly looking, faded black Tiida with grass growing around it...
When the T32 X-Trail succeeded the T31 in 2014, the TV advert showed a family taking a shortcut through a farm. When they arrived at the other side the kids in the back were covered in gunk and milkshake. Even running over a hose was enough to send a cascade of green slime leaping from its container...
After having my Pulsar Plus stolen while I was at work one day, there was a N15 shaped hole in my heart. But after a few months a British Racing Green (as I like to call it) SSS showed up on Facebook marketplace. Not knowing how to drive manual yet, I had the seller drive me around the hills. I was happy with what I saw and $1200 bucks later I had a car that my friend drove home for me...
