2018 Nissan Navara Black Edition Road Test, Review Navara is Nissan’s LCV (Light Commercial Vehicle) offering. Nissan’s first ute came out in 1935 and was a tiny 3.3m long with a puny 11kw 760cc engine. It carried a mere 500kg. it carried just two people, and had a 0-100 time of 3 calendar pages. Let that sink in as [...]
The ST-L is a middle-of-the-range SUV for around $40,765 (driveaway) for the ST-L Petrol 2WD 5-seater. There are: 5 trim levels (ST, ST-L, Ti, TS and TL), 3 engines, a CVT auto or 6-speed manual, and 2 or AWD, depending on the model you select. It would be easier if you could use a configurator to select the exact [...]
There aren’t many cars like the Nissan 370Z – a two-door, two-seater, rear-wheel drive coupe with a V6 engine. Not much has changed with the 370Z, just a few inconsequential inclusions to the package this year.

Nissan sells millions of X-Trails around the planet because it ticks many boxes for buyers, is consistently good at what it’s designed for, looks attractive and offers value for money.

Along with the Toyota LandCruiser, the Nissan Patrol has been a staple of Australian serious off-roading enthusiasts. Both are some of the largest proper 4WDs on market – in a category of their own. This thing is a juggernaut. A true off-roader, the Patrol is a powerhouse, big on features and space, it has everything you’d need for any [...]
Nissan GT-R Nismo The GT-R is not the car for those who just want to watch the countryside slide by. It is involvement. it is an all-encompassing visceral experience, where cost is almost irrelevant. GT-R is about looks, extreme speed, and brutal handling, that well and truly earn the nick name, “Godzilla”. Exterior There is nothing subtle about the [...]

We drove Nissan’s Qashqai ST-L at the Australian Launch. The updated cabin tech, driver aids, and safety gear, make Qashqai a great small SUV option for buyers wanting value for money Surfacing and materials is good quality apart from a few bits here and there that feel hard to the touch. The engine is carried over from the previous [...]
I recently drove the Nissan X-Trail ST-L and the Honda CR-V VTi-L and I thought it was worth taking a look at these two mid-size SUVs with seven seats. This version of the X-Trail is but is the highest grade for a seven-seat option which is priced from $39,090 with an entry level ST starting at $31k. These prices [...]
