Nissan SUVs

Commanding driving positions, high ride heights, and voracious well-roundedness are just some of the qualities that Nissan’s SUVs convey. They’re consummate family cruisers and ideal daily runabouts by virtue of their commodious cabins and expansive trunks. They’re extensively outfitted with creature comforts and conveniences, and also come equipped with plenty of active and passive protection measures. The range consists of a wide variety of options, including small, midsize, and full-size classifications. So check out the reviews and ratings to see which models best meet your demands.

Lineup of the Best Nissan Crossovers

• Kicks: This little car is one of the most well-rounded and cost-effective means of getting around on a daily basis. The forward wheels are motivated by an efficiency-minded 1.6-liter inline-four engine paired to a CVT. Though many of the features in the base trims are rudimentary, there are a few advanced technologies included as standard that are uncommon for the price point. Even the infotainment setup and creature comforts are surprisingly comprehensive, making this a very high-value purchase for the money.
• Rogue Sport: A 2.0-liter four-pot unit and CVT motivate either the front or all four corners of this subcompact ride. Despite its name, it is by no means a sporty car, exhibiting mild acceleration responses and sluggish reactions from the transmission. It’s fine for driving around town but loses some fervor on the highway. As a budget-friendly alternative, it is relatively sparsely equipped but because of its inclusive protective measures, it still gets 9/10 for safety.
• Rogue: For just a little bit more cash, shoppers can opt for the fitter version of the Rogue nameplate. In this variant is a stronger 2.5L four-cylinder motor, though a CVT is still the sole shifter. It’s also front- or all-wheel-drive by selection. This version also gets just a few more luxuries over the cheaper Sport variant, and a lot more standalone add-ons and packages, including some meaningful driver-assists and passenger conveniences. Unfortunately, with the discontinuation of the hybrid, only the gasoline-powered option rolls out into 2020.
• Murano: Despite its modern and relatively attractive design, this midsize cruiser still feels rather outdated. Under the hood is a decently capable 3.5L V6 paired to a continuously variable transmission and it’s available in 2- or 4WD. There are loads of features to enjoy from all four trims in the roster, though it is a somewhat expensive buy.
• Pathfinder: Originally, the Pathfinder was the top body-on-frame utility that people who lived adventurous lifestyles took on rugged, off-road excursions. Today, it’s a little more of a luxury item. A 3.5L V6 mill and eCVT power the FWD in stock guise, while an AWD is selectable.
• Armada: This is the largest Nissan SUV model from the automaker’s list and, as such, it’s available in one of two seating configurations - by default, it seats up to eight passengers in three spacious rows, while second-row captains chairs are optional. Its rear wheels or 4WD system are enlivened by a robust 5.6L V8 motor mated to a seven-speed automatic gearbox.
