The Nissan SUVs

Sports utility vehicles (SUVs) are increasingly in demand. The harsh climate in Quebec is certainly a part of this craze, since most of this type of vehicle offers the possibility of integrating a gear train with all-wheel drive. The interest is also related, most likely, to the height of SUVs. Halfway between the car and the truck, the field of vision is widened. This allows you to have a better view of the road ahead of us and to better identify, at the same time, the possible obstacles to avoid. Nissan has understood the importance of this growing consumer demand. The SUV range offered for the years 2020 and 2021 has several distinct models, offering a multitude of possibilities, meeting various needs.

Nissan Kicks

Affordable, the Nissan Kicks is the smallest SUV offered by the manufacturer. Despite this characteristic, it is nevertheless recognized with a very large loading capacity. Gasoline consumption is also more than reasonable. Often referred to as a small urban sportsman, the Nissan Kicks can easily sneak around and park without difficulty, in sometimes more restricted areas on the street. He is forgiven for the absence of manual gearbox by looking at the equipment offered. It is thus seen that several interesting elements are available, some of which are quite unusual to find inside an entry-level vehicle. For example, you can benefit from heating seats, a peripheral view camera system and a Bose audio system, with which automatically come from speakers integrated into the driver's head support.

Nissan Qashqai

The Nissan Qashqai is a subcompact SUV, offering the possibility of all-wheel drive. Very comfortable, the cabin is spacious. Despite the slightly ageing presentation of the interface of the multimedia system, we still appreciate the possibility of being able to observe the outside, in 360 degrees, thanks to all the cameras arranged around the vehicle. Reliability and security are also at the same time. Thus, it is quickly observed that braking is rudely effective. The vehicle has not been set up to offer sporty sensations, its soft and pleasantly silent rolling brings a sense of lightness when behind the steering wheel. Affordable, the vehicle also offers many advanced technologies.

Nissan Rogue

Renewed for 2021, the Nissan Rogue is now in its third (3rd) generation. Successful, the design is current and displays a very pleasant visual. The vehicle really offers excellent value for money. The 2.5-litre engine deploying 181 horsepower cavalry is associated with continuous variation transmission. Comfortable, the cabin is very spacious, as is the Kicks and Qashqai. The size of the vehicle also gives it a great versatility. Although a bit expensive, it is absolutely worth mentioning the effectiveness of Nissan's ProPILOT Assist package. Allowing a semi-autonomous driving, in some situations, it works very well and makes it feel confident.

Nissan Murano

This generation of the Nissan Murano has been travelling our roads since 2019. With its luxurious interior, it brings exemplary comfort to all occupants taking their seat on board. Soundproofed, each trip is done in a pleasant way. On the motorisation side, the latter has long proven its efficiency. Powerful, its 260 horses are there, for sure. The mid-class SUV also incorporates sophisticated technological elements such as front collision detection and automatic emergency braking system. Only small shadow on the board, we would have liked a little more voluminous towing capabilities.

Nissan Pathfinder

The ultra-versatile vehicle capable of accommodating up to seven (7) passengers, the Nissan Pathfinder comes with a four (4) wheel drive gear from the outset. As with other SUVs in the Nissan range, the cabin is designed to provide maximum space for occupants. One of the significant advantages of this vehicle remains its towing capabilities, which can reach up to 6000 pounds. The 284 horsepower of the 3.5 liter V6 engine makes this possible. What is even more wonderful is that fuel consumption is quite reasonable when compared to other competing vehicles. The new generation is still highly anticipated, as some technologies are still perfectible.

Nissan Armada

The highest-end SUV at Nissan, the Armada stands out for the power of its engine. Indeed, its 5.6 liter V8 is capable of towing a load of up to 8500 pounds. Although its delicacy may surprise, it should be mentioned that the four (4) wheel drive system installed in the vehicle gives it very interesting capabilities, as far as off-piste routes are concerned.

The vehicle adopts the line of thought of all SUVs at Nissan and offers, again, a very large interior space. Luxurious, several elements of its composition are the same as those forming part of the careful assembly of the Infiniti QX80. Families will also appreciate the possibility of having a rear passenger entertainment system, where two (2) screens are integrated behind the front seat headrests. The Nissan Armada therefore offers both a more cosy side and a more adventurous side, which do not require better than to be discovered and used alternately, according to the needs of the consumer.

Finally, it must be admitted that Nissan has been able to identify the various demands coming from the population. The SUV segment offered by the manufacturer is large and allows for all budgets. Generally speaking, we can say that Nissan has taken the challenge of optimizing space in all available models. What is even more pleasant is to note that the manoeuvre is very successful. We feel comfortable on board every vehicle and feel ready for long journeys. Vehicles are also convenient and respond very well, each in their own way, to the needs of consumers. So all that remains is to identify your own, before you start an official shopping, well in good standing.
