Nissan has long been a leading auto brand, and its newest models do not disappoint. From sedans to SUVs to sports cars, the company makes a vehicle for any preference. Take a look through this summary of Nissan’s latest releases, and choose the Nissan that is right for you.
Nissan Sentra
The Sentra is Nissan’s longstanding mid-size line, with the first model rolling off the line in 1982. Although early models were in the compact and subcompact class, the model later became a full sedan line and one of the company’s best-known flagship vehicles. With a low price and rugged dependability, the Sentra is a great entry-level car, perfect for the first-time driver in your family. Sentras are now sold all over the world, renowned for their solid construction, excellent handling, and strong safety record.
The modern Sentra sits on a four-door sedan frame, giving it the room to haul around a small family or group of friends in comfort. The roomy trunk and backseat give plenty of space for whatever you need to take with you as well. Competitive gas mileage makes owning a Sentra very affordable, and the low sticker price makes it far more reasonable to load this one up with extra features than some other models. Overall, the Sentra’s combination of dependability and low cost makes it a great choice for someone looking to buy his or her first new car.
Nissan Leaf
The LEAF stands for Leading Environmentally-friendly Affordable Family car, but after driving one, you’ll decide it stands for quality. The world’s leading 100 percent electric car, the LEAF is ideal for those looking to improve their carbon footprint and live greener lifestyles. It emits absolutely no greenhouse gases, making it a great way to help prevent pollution from affecting the city around you. Of course, environmental friendliness is all well and good, but without solid performance, no car is going to attain the true heights of international popularity. This Nissan model’s popularity around the world testifies to its utility in a variety of driving situations and conditions.
The LEAF is a five-door hatchback, perfect for both ferrying around your family or running to the store. The powerhouse battery gives it a range of 84 to 107 miles, as well as a whisper-quiet operation and lower cost of operation than almost any car on the market. As such, the LEAF isn’t just for environmental advocates; small families looking for an affordable way to get around town should take a look as well.
Nissan Pathfinder
But maybe your family is a little larger than most. It is difficult to fit a family of more than four into a sedan like the Sentra, let alone a smaller vehicle like the LEAF. Instead, you might look at something larger, like a Pathfinder. SUVs got something of a bad rap for poor fuel economy back in the days of climbing gas prices; although modern stations features lower costs for fill-ups, some are still reluctant to take the utility plunge for financial reasons. The Pathfinder, however, is a crossover, a fusion of a car body with SUV construction and has decent fuel economy with 20 mpg city and 27 highway.
This hybrid car/SUV design makes the Pathfinder more efficient and maneuverable than the beastliest of SUVs, but roomier than almost any sedan. The roomy interior gives space for every family member to ride in comfort, and there is plenty of space in the rear for your largest purchases. If you need a safe, dependable vehicle to run errands and take your loved ones to their destinations, the Pathfinder should blaze a trail to your driveway.
Nissan 370Z Roadster
If you’re less concerned with price or sustainability, perhaps the 370Z Roadster is more to your taste. This sporty car is never going to win fuel economy awards, but its sporty styling and classic construction will prevent you from thinking of such quotidian things as gas prices. The sports star comes in several variations, including some with retractable tops for long warm-weather cruising. Other variants compete regularly in various racing classes, so you know the model is capable of giving you the speed you need.
With a two-door interior and light body design, the 370Z Roadster is designed less for getting groceries and conveying kids to dance practice, and more for getting attention as you pull up to the club. A relatively high sticker price and gas efficiency lower than the more economy-oriented models mean the Roadster is not for the entry-level driver. Instead, the 370Z is an enthusiast’s car, perfect for showing off in any setting.
Of course, this is only the tip of the Nissan iceberg; there are far more models, from the Altima to the Frontier to the Rogue. Go to Nissan of Athens, your friendly local dealership today and check out the latest.
