Nissan launches the X-Trail Platinum Edition with every option box already ticked. Costs from £29,180. The Nissan X-TRAIL is a perfectly good example of an on-road SUV, much in the style of the Freelander 2. It does everything quite well, but nothing spectacularly. But it is very competent, very well built, doesn’t do a bad job and doesn’t have [...]
There’s a new Nissan Pathfinder on the way for 2013, and Nissan are teasing the concept they’re taking to the Detroit Auto Show. The current Nissan Pathfinder isn’t the biggest seller in the world. It’s a boxy, old-school seven seat SUV that manages to mop up a few sales from those who want a Discovery but [...]
Nissan reveals that the Track Pack for the 2012 GT-R will add £10 to the price of a regular GT-R. Due in the UK March 2012. One of the joys of driving on the left in the UK is that we get a lot of the stuff on Japanese cars that really isn’t available in [...]

The Nissan Juke R – the love child of the Juke and the GT-R – has been out testing at Silverstone. We have video.

Nissan has revealed its second Nismo car in two days at the Tokyo Motor Show with a sporty LEAF EV – the Nissan LEAF Nismo. The Nissan LEAF Nismo. We’d expect the LEAF to be the last car Nissan would add Nismo bits to. But they have. Standing proud and butch on Nissan’s Tokyo Motor [...]
Nissan has revealed the Nissan Juke Nismo – a sportier take on the compact SUV – and has plans to produce Nismo cars across their range. Just so we’re clear: The Nissan Juke Nismo revealed this morning is nothing like the Juke/GT-R love child Juke-R madness we’ve reported recently; the Juke Nismo is much more mainstream. Probably [...]

Nissan are to launch a plug-in hybrid in 2015 and are working with Mercedes Benz to develop fuel cell technology.

But we certainly understand the imperative for car makers to build cars [...]
Carlos Ghosn – Nissan Renault boss – has revealed that Nissan has sold 15,000 LEAF EVs. But in the UK only 100 electric cars were sold in September. As electric cars go, the Nissan LEAF is one of the best. It looks like a proper car – even if it’s not exactly drop dead gorgeous – [...]

The Nissan Juke-R – a compact crossover with the heart of a GT-R – is officially revealed as a one-off, but with the prospect of a production model.

A year after its launch, the Nissan Juke receives a few tweaks to cut its emissions and improve its economy resulting in savings for owners. It’s a bit of a Marmite car, the Nissan Juke. Some who see it for the first time are appalled at what an ungainly looking car the Juke is. Others find [...]
Nissan has revealed a limited Edition Juke – the Nissan Juke Kuro – starting at £17,395. Just 700 Kuros will be built. How did we miss a limited edition Juke – especially when we think the Nissan Juke is such a funky little urban car – when Nissan sent us the details of the Juke Kuro [...]
Nissan has revealed that the current cost of replacing the battery pack in the Nissan LEAF is a whopping £19,392. Why would anyone buy a LEAF?

Nissan is celebrating the production of one million Nissan Qashqais at the Nissan plant in Sunderland. It seemed somehow a bit of an oddity, the Nissan Qashqai, when Nissan first rolled it out. What was it? A small SUV? A tall hatch? Something else altogether? What the Qashqai was is now clear. It was the first Crossover, a [...]
