Nissan Leaf electric car (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Mark Hamilton, 31 March 2011 12:41

CAR's Gavin Green drove a pre-production Nissan Leaf in Japan last year and came away impressed. So did European Car of the Year judges, who awarded the Nissan Leaf the COTY award for 2011. The Leaf continues to garner accolades in the media and positive reports from all who drive it. But we haven't had a chance to try the Leaf on ...

Nissan GT-R (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 15 March 2011 10:30

When the R35-spec Nissan GT-R first appeared in 2007 it stunned the automotive world, notching up easy victories against the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo in comparison tests, and posting incredible Nurburgring lap times. Now Nissan claims it has 'enhanced' the GT-R for 2011, so just how much better has it become? Read on for CAR's review of the new Nissan GT-R. What's changed ...

Nissan Juke 1.6 DiG-T (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 08 July 2010 00:54

Fret not! You might have spied the £20k price tag on this Nissan Juke first drive review, but rest assured: we've climbed into the top dog, turbocharged and 4x4 Juke aimed at Mini Cooper S territory. We've driven cheaper models in the range too (the Nissan Juke starts at a much more palatable £12,795), but the tech on the 1.6 ...

Nissan Leaf (2010) electric prototype CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Gavin Green, 11 June 2010 00:01

It’s finally here. The world’s first practical affordable electric production car that doesn’t look like it’s designed by a kid with a crayon and driven by Noddy. The Nissan Leaf may not be an exciting car. But it is an important one. If it sells – and Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is betting his company’s future on it – this ...

Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 19 February 2010 10:00

It’s taken three generations, but Nissan’s funky Cube has finally made it Europe through official channels. But is it a case of style over substance? Hmm, this latest Nissan Cube looks slightly less, well, square. Yes, some of the earlier car’s styling edge has gone, in both senses, but it’s still a striking looking car and stands out a mile ...

Nissan GT-R Spec V (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 19 May 2009 17:00

This is the ultimate GT-R. While Porsche has RS, Lamborghini has SV and BMW has M, Nissan’s best GT-Rs (or Skylines) have come with a V-Spec designation. Now reversed, the Spec V is Nissan’s newest GT-R, with carbon brakes, a stripped-out interior and a bank balance-breaking 15,750,000 yen, that's over £100k. So what turns a ‘regular’ Nissan GT-R into a ...

Nissan 370Z (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 01 December 2008 02:00

Nissan's Zed car is back and that new 370Z moniker indicates a bigger 3.7-litre V6 – up from the old car's 3.5 and lifted from the Infiniti G37. Yet thanks to the extensive use of aluminium throughout, the new 370Z weighs exactly the same as the current 350Z. Time to find out if this make the new Nissan 370Z as good ...

Nissan Qashqai+2 2.0 (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 ...

Nissan 350Z (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Peter Burgess, 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 ...

Nissan Qashqai 2.0 dCi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 17 January 2007 03:41

What’s this? A hatchback? An off-roader? A mini-MPV? None of the above. It’s a Nissan Qashqai, it replaces the Almera hatchback (if you can remember what that was) and, according to its maker, ‘it completely redefines driving in the modern, urban world’. In fact, it doesn’t, as you can probably guess, but it is the result of some bold thinking ...
