  Nissan Leaf 2018 Road Test 20 Jan 2018 (roadtest)
  The 2018 Nissan Leaf goes further than ever before. Literally. Along with big improvements in comfort and refinement, it now has a considerably longer range. Admittedly, it’s still expensive to buy, especially when compared to its petrol

  Nissan Juke 2014 Road Test 30 May 2014 (roadtest)
  It’s quite tricky to bring a car like the Nissan Juke up to date, mainly because it already looks like it comes from the future. Nissan apparently realises this too, which is why the newly facelifted model looks a lot like its predecessor. The Sunderland built model has been

  Nissan Qashqai 2014 Road Test 13 Jan 2014 (roadtest)
  The original Nissan Qashqai saw the birth of the crossover and proved a phenomenal success for Nissan. Its practicality, raised driving position and low running costs found a lot of converts, with family buyers swapping their traditional hatchbacks

  Nissan Note 2013 Road Test 9 Jul 2013 (roadtest)
  Nissan is being quite specific in where it's setting its sights with the new Note. The brand want this car to play a pivotal role in their hatchback line-up and is targeting the popular Ford Fiesta and excellent Volkswagen Polo with the aim of beating them on practicality and equipment

  Nissan Leaf 2013 Road Test 16 Apr 2013 (roadtest)
  Can it really be time for a Nissan Leaf facelift? After less than two years on sale in the UK, it would seem so. That's incredibly unusual in the automotive industry, but there again, the Leaf is no ordinary car. It owes more to the the world of high-end tech, where products rarely last a year

  Nissan Juke 2010 Road Test 10 Jul 2010 (roadtest)
  The first pictures of the Nissan Juke were in a really nice metallic red. With its distinctly odd arrangement of lights it has the appearance of an insect. I couldn’t work out how to look it in the eye, but I immediately knew I liked it. Yet

  Nissan Micra 2010 Road Test 25 Apr 2010 (roadtest)
  It might seem a bit odd to be reading a ‘first drive’ of a Nissan Micra you won’t be able to buy in the UK until November 2010, and which in UK spec will be considerably different. But this is an all-new car, with nothing carried over
• 
  Nissan Cube 2010 Road Test 12 Jan 2010 (roadtest)
  You might take one look at the Nissan Cube and decide it’s an oddball of strictly limited appeal. And you’d be wrong. Because, since its first incarnation in 1998, Nissan has sold a million of them. You see them all over the Far East, in Bangkok
• 
  Nissan Note 2006 Road Test 1 Jun 2006 (roadtest)
  Someone had to come up with a reasonable rival to the Honda Jazz. And while the Nissan Note doesn’t break new ground like the Jazz did (and still does), it has enough to commend it to win friends and influence poeple. The beneficial features are wide opening
• 
  Nissan Pathfinder 2005 Road Test 14 Apr 2005 (roadtest)
  The very existence of the new Nissan Pathfinder tells us something significant. Nissan is getting out of volume and into niches. Nissan’s X-Trail has outsold its Primera and been much more profitable because it has sold at much closer to the list price asked
• 
  Nissan Micra 2003 Road Test 31 Dec 2002 (roadtest)
  “Ahhh....cute. It’s like a baby.” Those were my wife’s words when she first caught sight of the frogeyed new Nissan Micra K12. Smart girl. She summed it up straight away. Other small hatchbacks try to be chic, like the 206. Or stylish, like

  Nissan Qashqai 1.3 2019 Road Test 17 Oct 2018 (roadtest)
  Britain loves a Nissan Qashqai . Its combination of value for money, practicality and trendy SUV-esque appearance mean its been a huge success story since the original arrived in 2006
• 
  Nissan GT-R 2016 Road Test 31 May 2016 (roadtest)
  The GT-R might be approaching its tenth birthday, but Nissan shows few signs of retiring its race track veteran. Instead the supersonic coupe is being given a new lease of life, with Nissan declaring this the GT-R's most significant overhaul since its creation, way back
• 
  Nissan Leaf 30kWh 2015 Road Test 19 Oct 2015 (roadtest)
  So ubiquitous and ostensibly ordinary is the Nissan Leaf that it has almost single-handedly normalised the electric car. It wasn’t the first all-electric car, but most of what came before it was weird and impractical and - worst of all - ugly. Think Mitsubishi i-MIEV
• 
  Nissan Juke Nismo 2013 Road Test 21 Jan 2013 (roadtest)
  The name ‘Nissan Juke Nismo’ conjured up images in my mind of a sportscar on stilts. We all know the Juke. It has already sold 330,000 worldwide in just 18 months. Last year in the UK alone it sold 29,000, beating all its competitors including the MINI hatchback, Audi A1

  Nissan 370Z Roadster 2010 Road Test 10 Jun 2010 (roadtest)
  It should have been the perfect week. Memories of the Cotswolds in a Sunset Orange 350Z Roadster in June 2006. The latest technology. Improvements all round. 31 extra PS. And sunshine again, most of the time. Yet Nissan’s latest 370Z roadster somehow just

  Nissan 370Z Coupe 2009 Road Test 8 Apr 2009 (roadtest)
  In the pre-brifing to testing the Nissan 370Z coupe I learned a fact I'd been unaware of. I had always thought that the Mazda MX-5 was the World’s best selling sportscar. But I was wrong. If you start counting at the original 240Z of 1969, Nissan has sold 1,700,000
• 
  Nissan X-Trail 2008 Road Test 18 Sep 2007 (roadtest)
  I can’t tell you how reliable the new X-Trail is going to be. We won’t know about that for a year or two. Hopefully the turbo troubles that dogged the old 2.2 will not reappear in the new 2.0 litre Nissan diesel engines. And on the evidence of the Pathfinder
• 
  Nissan Qashqai 2007 Range Road Test 23 Mar 2007 (roadtest)
  You may not be able to pronounce it, but Nissan Qashqai has been a not entirely astonishing success. It has already sold exactly twice the anticipated number. No less than 5,000 are now on UK roads. To further put the cat among the pigeons, the fourth and fifth most

  Nissan 350Z Roadster 2006 Road Test 13 Jun 2006 (roadtest)
  Imagine the perfect afternoon. The Cotswolds. Clear blue skies. Open top-sportscar. A beautiful girl in the passenger seat. And 300bhp under your right foot. Could it have been the combination that made me like the Nissan 350Z Roadster so much? Or was it the car
