Like the Nissan Patrol, many big four-wheel drive wagons and utes are all torque, boasting how much they can pull – up to three-and-a-half tonnes in some cases – then there’s the Nissan Pathfinder. Nissan’s other large off-roader cares more for who’s inside the vehicle than for what’s out the More
Launched this week in Melbourne, the all-new Nissan X-Trail has brought most of what was good with it into a new body, along the way collecting the latest technology both in the car’s drivetrain and media experience. Nissan call it “family proof” but the reality is that this car will More
Frontal chrome is to the automotive market what white teeth are to the entertainment industry, a sign of quality and style. However, both can be irritating to the onlooker if they are overdone. The new Nissan Altima is a case in point. A swathe of shiny metal up front would More

Nissan has launched its new Altima sedan to compete against some of the big guns in the Australian mid-sized sedan market.
