Nissan Patrol Y62 Series is the largest and most expensive off-road wagon ever made by the Japanese giant, a giant with a long history in the 4WD and SUV fields. Listed from $82,690 to $114,490, the latest Nissan Patrol is competing against upmarket vehicles such as the Toyota LandCruiser Sahara, More
This is the new Nissan Qashqai, pronounced ‘Cash-Kie”. The name is of middle eastern origin and refers to nomadic clans. So it’s presumably aimed at buyers who aren’t prepared to settle down just yet. The Qashqai has been around since 2007, but at that time Aussie dealers refused to accept More
The Nissan X-Trail is a mid-size SUV that has become one of the Japanese maker’s most successful models in Australia – around 140,000 have been sold since 2001. Starting life as a compact SUV with leanings towards the bland, the X-Trail has morphed into a mid-size five-seat crossover vehicle incorporating More
Nissan’s stunning GT-R supercar remains one the greatest automotive bargains of all time. We have spent a lot of time with them, and loved every experience.

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
