Nissan

A friendly face among the Japanese superpowers, Nissan got itself embedded in Australia from an early date. From what was once a caterpillar of worthy run-abouts has sprung a butterfly of inventive, attractive modern cars with loads of character. Worth a snoop.

 

  • Nissan 350Z

    350Z

    $63,990 - $74,990

    Absolutely fantastic red-raw two-seater coupe with bags of power and rabid handling. Thrillingly, it also makes a noise like a Boxster owner’s nightmare.

     

  • Nissan Dualis

    Dualis

    $28,990 - $35,990

    Nissan’s finest moment since the death of Pulsar. A genuinely new slant on the SUV thing – a soft-roader with the manners, poise and usefulness of a real hatch. 

     

  • Nissan Micra

    Micra

    $14,990

    Its teeth may be on the long side, but you wouldn’t kick this cute little babe out of bed. Properly developed and surprisingly sprightly to drive. Cheeky chic.

  • Nissan Murano

    Murano

    $49,990 - $56,990

    Nissan now has five different SUVs, of which this is the best looking and most expensive. We don’t miss the Primera, but at least we understood what it was.

     

  • Navara

    Navara

    $22,490 - $49,990

    Something of a sexy answer to the humble work ute. The Nissan Navara is rough and ready to work, but pretty enough to pick up a date.

  • Nissan Pathfinder

    Pathfinder

    $45,990 - $60,490

    Hang on, another SUV? Yes, but we don’t hear you complaining when Land Rover does it. At which point you mention that this is no Discovery. Argument duly won.

     

  • Nissan Patrol

    Patrol

    $49,790 - $75,690

    Legendary big slab of off-road beef, now so dated it has Black & White Minstrel Show levels of relevance. Yes, son, we really did buy these things in my day...

     

  • Tiida

    Tiida

    $17,990 - $25,240

    Nissan's Pulsar replacement. Only much, much less popular. It is what it is: a cheap, economical run about. Few suprises then.

  • Nissan X-Trail

    X-Trail

    $31,990 - $41,990

    Won’t scare the Freelander but serves the useful purpose of pointing out that the Dualis isn’t just another SUV. The X-Trail, however, most certainly is.
