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.
Nissan releases an updated infotainment system and a top-spec cosmetic pack with the Navara N-Trek...
To cut a long story short, the little Leaf is a big deal in the electric world. It's finally on sale in Australia, where it faces off with plug-in offerings from Hyundai, Renault and Tesla.
As promised, I finally found some time to take the X-Trail off-road and test its 'adventure' credentials.
Dual-cab utes are all the rage at the moment, with the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux sitting atop the Australian sales charts. Along with those two stalwarts, there are plenty of other worthy load-lugging options on the market – options like our Nissan Navara. It's got coil springs down back, a twin-turbo four-cylinder engine up front, and room for all the camera gear you could ever ask for in the tray...
There are plenty of model choices in the Navara line-up, so why pick the new 2019 Nissan Navara N-Trek flagship? Afterall, while it has a lot of black and some nice stickers, it’s hard to justify the $3700 price increase over the already well-equipped and good looking ST-X...

When it comes to mid-sized SUVs, there's one that stands out from the rest. CarAdvice compares the 10 best selling SUVs on the segment to find out which SUV is the best on-road, which is the safest SUV and which SUV is the best value...
The new Nissan GT-R Nismo has landed and Paul Maric had the chance to give it a go on sections of Germany's derestricted Autobahn. Plus, we head to the Dekra Lausitz race track to see how it compares to the MY17 GT-R Nismo and finally, we sit down with 'Mr GT-R' himself, Tamura-san.
Do you dream of weekends away at campsites, but still need to move seven humans in relative comfort? Then, it's these two big SUVs that are likely to be atop your list. But, which is better? Paul Maric finds out.
We all know your rationale when it comes to buying a medium-sized SUV with all-wheel drive. You want a vehicle with more room for the kid(s) – or kid(s) that are coming – but you also have in the back of your mind that one day you might need to go off-road. Anybody that's done any proper off-roading knows that the type of off-roading you think you're going to do, compared to the type you'll actually do, is very different...
Ten of the best and most popular mid-sized SUVs go head-to-head, but there can only be one winner.
One of the biggest barriers to electric vehicle adoption is price. The Hyundai Kona Electric is $20,000 more expensive than the range-topping petrol model, while the Nissan Leaf is $49,990 before on-road costs – but, according to a Volkswagen executive, the days of expensive electric vehicles are numbered...
Australia hosts more than 50 companies selling new cars, SUVs and light commercials through official dealerships. Between them they offer about 350 separate models made in 24 countries. Given the total annual sales are a tick over 1.1 million units once you strip out heavy trucks, that’s a relatively small pie chopped up into a lot of pieces...
Nissan Australia has detailed the revised 2019 Navara ute range, headlined by the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality on select variants. The SL, ST and ST-X variants all get a new 8.0-inch ‘Alliance In-Vehicle Infotainment’ system (AIVI) which features the aforementioned smartphone mirroring software along with a new interface, AM/FM radio, USB, AUX and Bluetooth connections...

Sources have told The Wall Street Journal about the discussions, which centre around plans to reduce Renault's 43.4 per cent shareholding in Nissan...
Hello everyone! My name is Kenny and this is my review about the A33 Nissan Maxima. It is a model that I personally fell in love with, and essentially (in my view) it's a forgotten classic in a soon to be forgotten category. Hence this review is to remind every CarAdvice reader of the importance of 4-door sports cars with rear spoilers...
I'm an idiot for selling this car. I went on holiday to Adelaide once and had one as a renter and found it a charming little thing to flog around the hills and wineries. I had a tiny driveway entrance at home to deal with, so when it was time to get a car the Micra was top of the list...
When our beloved Aussie family wagon of 17 years finally had us doing an expected cardio sessions four times in two weeks, we knew it was time to upgrade, or cancel our gym memberships! After a quick test drive of a sub-$30K ST Nissan X-Trail, I was impressed. The electric steering was light and effortless...
I have owned my Nissan 200SX (S14) since 2000 and it impresses me as much today as it did back then. With rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual, its 2-litre, double overhead camshaft turbocharged engine makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck when you drop it back a gear and plant the foot...
