It’s undoubtable that you’ve seen Nissan cars here and there. These Japanese-designed automobiles are award-winning machines that are trusted across the planet for their reliability, innovation and simple-but-appealing style. In this article, we’ll explore all the best reasons that you yourself should join “Club Nissan” and make it your next car either to lease or purchase at the dealership.
First, some background:
Nissan’s history goes all the way back to 1911, and their first car designs were created in 1914. The Nissan Motor Company formally established itself in 1934 by Masujiro Hashimoto in Tokyo and by 1959 the company enjoyed a good reputation in the US, chiefly as a truck manufacturer. In the 1970s they began to produce sedans and family cars that were also popular in the US. The company established manufacturing in the US so that Americans could enjoy locally made Japanese designs – everybody was a winner. Through the 1990s and 2000s, the company continued to go from strength to strength developing not only its well-known trucks and family sedans, but also branching out into luxury cars (Infiniti) and also eco-friendly cars, like the Nissan LEAF (2010), the world’s first mass-produced 100% electric, zero emission vehicle.
So, why buy a Nissan? When it comes to Nissan cars, there are numerous advantages:
- Safety – features like forward collision warning, automatic braking, driver attention warning and rear-door reminder feature come as standard in many models. Further options are available on specific models, but the Nissan comes with quality safety features as standard. The Nissan Kicks was named as IIHS Top Safe Pick in 2019.
- Seating – a lot of attention has been paid to making the seating comfortable and spacious. In the Maxima, for example, the front seats are the company’s trademark Zero Gravity seats, engineered to keep your back in its natural position. Heated seats also come as standard in most Maxima trims.
- Inside tech – from Wi-Fi to the Nissan Connect Infotainment system, the Nissan always comes ready for the 21st century driver. Features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure you’re always connected and in-sync, and many models also get their sound system straight from Bose. Doesn’t get much better than that. Other features include a new-and-improved user interface on Connect, with streamlined menus and touchscreen interface.
- Power – the brand may be synonymous with efficiency and function, but that doesn’t mean the cars don’t pack a punch. The 2019 Nissan Murano, for instance, comes with a 3.5L V6 engine generating 260hp and 240lb-ft of torque, all paired up with a CVT transmission. Yes, that’s the standard powertrain.
- Durability – thanks to the use of high-quality parts throughout the full range of vehicles, your Nissan is sure to maintain a good resale value further down the line, and, more importantly, it won’t let you down while you’re out on the road!
