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
No car company has attacked the booming SUV market with more gusto than Nissan. With five SUV vehicles (Juke, Dualis, X-Trail, Murano and Pathfinder) as well as its big 4WD Patrol, Nissan can cater for the needs of everyone from the inner-city café cruiser through to the most demanding of More
Nissan Pathfinder has been on sale in Australia since 1987 and has established a well-earned reputation as a reasonably tough 4WD off-roader. Not quite in the same class as vehicles like its Nissan Patrol sibling or Toyota’s LandCruiser but rugged enough to attract plenty of rural sales. With the arrival More
Nissan Tiida has come – and gone – from the Australian new-car market. And not too many people seem to be sorry. Which is a shame in many ways because it’s a perfectly good small-medium car with the sort of interior space that can accommodate a family, a smooth quiet More

There’s yet more sad news for the fans of big, rugged, down-and dirty off-road 4WDs with the Nissan Pathfinder following the latest trend and being transformed into a suburban SUV with only mild dirt road capacity. For the first time since it arrived here in 1987 Pathfinder comes with the More
Nissan Patrol is one of the best-known and longest established nameplates on the Australian 4WD scene having been on sale here for almost 50 years. As popular as Patrol is in Australia we are well down the pecking order compared to the Middle East, Russian and USA markets and this More
