You can rely on a Nissan to get you where you need to go in style, regardless of whether you are driving around town or traveling across the country. Our team is here to help. We will walk you through our selection of new Nissans, ranging from SUVs to sedans to performance models and more, to help you find the right one for your needs.
Nissan Sentra, for instance, offers aerodynamic styling that packs a punch. It offers outstanding fuel efficiency, with up to 40 MPG on the highway, and is quick off the line, adding a bit of zip to your daily drive. This is thanks, in part, to the multi-link rear suspension and advanced steering system. In addition, innovative technologies like Intelligent Trace Control and Active Ride Control help you easily glide through curves and bumps. On the inside, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see a thoughtful design that feels much bigger than expected. You and your passengers will enjoy generous legroom and trunk space that can handle whatever you throw its way. Zero Gravity Seats help reduce fatigue and keep you focused during the drive.
Another sedan option to consider is the Nissan Altima. This bigger sibling to the Sentra offers up to 39 MPG on the highway, with 248 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque available when choosing the 2.0L Variable Compression Turbo engine of the SR trim. This engine option quickly adapts by raising or lowering the pistons to provide you with a seamless ride and optimum enjoyment. The Altima also offers state-of-the-art technology with an available 12.3-inch color touchscreen display, bringing you access to your favorite apps with the touch of a button. You and your passengers will also enjoy wireless connectivity and voice recognition when paired with a compatible phone.
The Nissan Rogue is a dynamic option if you want a vehicle that rides like a sedan but offers the cargo space and elevated driving of an SUV. The Rogue is a much-celebrated vehicle, winning the 2023 Compact SUV Cars.com challenge as well as receiving an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ for the past several years. You can have confidence as you drive—whether you’re responsible for the day’s school carpool or traveling by yourself. The Rogue also gives you the option of Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, letting you go from snow to gravel to dirt with just the twist of a dial. Plus, the Motion Activated Liftgate, easy connectivity to digital devices, and an array of driver-assist safety features through Nissan’s Standard Safety Shield 360 make the Rogue a well-rounded and highly-performing SUV.
If you and your family need more space, the longest-running SUV in the Nissan lineup might do the trick. The Nissan Pathfinder gives you impressive interior size with three rows and seating for eight. You’ll also enjoy the EZ FLEX second-row bench that folds and slides for easier access to that third row. The Pathfinder isn’t just about getting the kids to and from the Midstate Soccer Complex on game day. It’s also built for adventure, with advanced 4x4 capabilities available. You’ll enjoy the freedom to take the boat or camper for a weekend getaway, with the ability to tow up to 6,000 lbs when properly equipped. Finally, the Pathfinder is perfect for those days when the weather can’t make up its mind, offering seven drive and terrain modes to keep its wheels planted firmly on the road.
Nissan and performance go hand in hand, especially when you’re discussing the Nissan Z. This quick, twin-turbo V6 with manual transmission not only looks good, it feels good, too. You’ll enjoy up to 400 hp and an available Launch Control system that helps reduce wheel spin and increase acceleration, as well as a smooth ride thanks to its double-wishbone front suspension along with the multi-link rear suspension. If you’re uncomfortable with a manual transmission, you can opt for a nine-speed automatic.
Inside the Nissan Z, you’ll be seated in a cockpit-like interior that instantly makes your heart pound before you even start the engine. The look is complete with deep Bucket Seats, padded knee bolsters, and a GT-R-Inspired Steering Wheel. You’ll enjoy a seamless connection to compatible electronic devices and a nine-inch center touchscreen.
