Nissan Murano (2009 European version) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 01 September 2008 10:00

A new Nissan Murano? I can barely remember the old one… That’s probably because, despite selling over 241,000 units in America since its launch in 2004, the poor Murano managed barely 55,000 sales throughout Europe over the same period. Clearly, Nissan has equally low hopes for European success with the next-generation Murano, anticipating a ludicrously modest 450 sales for this ...

Nissan Qashqai+2 2.0 (2008) CAR review

David Motton, 28 August 2008 12:38

Don't let Nissan catch you calling the new Qashqai+2 an MPV. Like its jacked-up hatchback little brother, this is one of Nissan’s growing family of ‘crossover’ vehicles – mainstream cars with a pinch of 4x4 here and a hint of people carrier there. Just think of it as a Qashqai hatch but with a couple of extra seats. It’s a ...

CAR drives a Nissan GT-R up the hill at Goodwood

Ben barry, 11 July 2008 15:19

‘Okay, light them up!’ Queue to drive up the famous Goodwood hill at the Festival of Speed and, just before the start line, you’ll find yourself in the tyre-warming area. Great if you’re in a rear-wheel drive car. Not so great if you’re in the four-wheel drive Nissan GT-R. The marshall clearly doesn’t understand and clearly thinks I’m a pussy ...

Nissan Qashqai 2.0 dCi Acenta long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 16 May 2008 12:00

Long-term test update - 16 May 2008 Borrowed the Qashqai from my colleagues over at CAR for a few nights. Its custodian was running a little experiment and seeing how long he could go between refills. I drove the Qashqai until there was one block left on the fuel gauge. By this point the on-board computer showing range left had given ...

Nissan Pathfinder 2.5 dCi Aventura CAR review

Matthew Jones, 14 May 2008 11:10

Remember Nissan’s TV advert where the Pathfinder sent people screaming for cover as it chugged through an Amercian city? That’s because this pick-up is a gigantic brute of a car, a proper workhorse, a ‘car’ that’s not afraid to roll up its sleeves and get dirty. And because Nissan knows that it can’t match the green oval kudos of Land ...

Nissan Murano CAR review

Kyle Fortune, 15 April 2008 09:18

Nissan’s Murano is an odd thing. Since late 2004 only around 1000 of them have made it to the UK each year, but for all its scarcity it was something you wouldn't forget when you did see one. A big showy chrome grille and a lusty V6 engine borrowed from the 350Z meant the Murano was never going to appeal ...

Nissan GT-R (2008) CAR review

Gavin Green, 04 December 2007 13:23

Nissan GT-R. Finally, the full-blown road test… Yes, after all the hype, the teaser images, the passenger rides and interviews, we’ve finally been let loose in the Nissan GT-R, one of the most anticipated drives of the year. And my word, it’s been worth the six-year wait. This is one of the finest, most engaging and desirable cars we have ...

Nissan GT-R - first ride CAR review

Anonymous, 24 October 2007 05:50

You’ve had a ride in the new Nissan GT-R, then? We have, as you might have seen on our video clip. When CAR was invited to photograph the GT-R in Hokkaido (on a strictly look but don’t touch basis), marketing boss Shingo Suzuki unexpectedly suggested we jump in the passenger seat and go for a ride. So while we weren’t ...

Nissan X-Trail 2.0 dCi CAR review

Anonymous, 24 May 2007 08:12

Is Nissan pulling a fast one? This looks the same as the old X-Trail It’s a dead ringer for the one that's just been discontinued, isn’t it? Incredibly, it’s totally new, right down to the engines. Two new 2.0-litre diesels (150 and 173bhp, both lifted from the Renault Laguna) replace the old dCi unit, while the 2.0-litre petrol and underpinnings ...

Nissan 350Z (2007) CAR review

Anonymous, 10 May 2007 11:37

Nissan's new-for-2007 350Z is still a cracker The 2007 350Z looks the same as the old one, doesn’t it? If you look carefully there’s a bulge in the bonnet and therein lies the story. The new-for-2007 350Z gets an engine that’s 80% new – and 8mm higher. Hence the purposeful swelling on the bonnet. The charismatic 3.5-litre V6 gets longer ...
