MONTREAL, Quebec – Let’s face it; the automobile landscape is changing to fit our lifestyles and society. Cars are getting generally smaller for urban use, they’re much more fuel efficient because it’s good both for the environment and our wallet, and the younger generation of car buyers—a shrinking number, unfortunately—doesn’t …

It was unveiled at the Montreal Auto Show last January, and we’ll finally get to drive it this week. The 2018 Nissan Kicks will soon be on sale, positioned at the bottom rung of the Japanese brand’s SUV ladder. The Kicks is equipped with a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine that develops …

OTTAWA, Ontario – Two hundred and forty two kilometres. That’s how much range you’ll get from the 2018 Nissan LEAF with its new 40-kWh battery. That number seems to trigger many reactions whenever we talk about the car. Whether it is on our social media pages or directly in person …

The Nissan LEAF was entirely redesigned for the 2018 model year and is currently available in small quantities in dealerships. Last December, we had a chance to drive it in California before the car went on sale. Now, it’s Nissan Canada’s turn to invite us to the nation’s capital for …

It’s easy to see the Nissan Armada as a big rolling joke. In a world where the entire industry speaks of electrification, downsizing and reducing our carbon footprint, the sheer idea of a near-6000-pound, V8-powered, body-on-frame SUV does indeed seem somewhat ridiculous. The most ironic thing here is that although …

It must be fun to work in one of Nissan’s marketing teams. They have the creative liberty and the funds to come up with unique, off-the-wall vehicles that will end up drawing attention to the brand and its product lineup. To prove that their vehicles aren’t afraid of winter, the …

There are many people who may require a very large SUV, but not necessarily the luxury nameplate often associated with such brethren. The Nissan Armada would be an excellent choice in that regard because it’s nicely appointed and optioned as many other luxury SUVs are, but doesn’t cost “too” much.

Way back when the Nissan Pathfinder hit the market in 1986, it was decidedly a different beast. Sporting a body-on-frame design meant it was a true sport utility vehicle which was constructed more like a truck versus a car. Over the years, it has evolved into a unibody construction, so …

Transport Canada recently published a recall notice regarding several Nissan models affected by an ignition system issue. At a matter of fact, in the Nissan Micra , Nissan Frontier , Nissan Sentra , Nissan Versa Note and …

The Datsun brand was renamed Nissan in the 1980s, but a few years ago, it came back to life in order to sell very affordable cars in emerging markets across Europe, Asia and Africa. However, we never forgot Datsun’s classic models such as the 240Z coupe, the 510 family and …

While Volkswagen is trying hard to turn the page nearly three years after Dieselgate broke out, Nissan this week released a statement confessing to some misconduct in the final inspection process of its vehicles built in Japan. This follows extensive compliance checks of various parts of the manufacturer’s operations including …

In Tokyo, during a forum celebrating the 100,000-unit sales milestone of the Nissan LEAF since it was introduced in 2010, the automaker presented a special car for the occasion. In front of about 100 people, including government officials and company executives who were participating in a discussion to create a …

NEW YORK CITY – Consumers may be flocking towards SUVs, but the good old midsize sedan isn’t ready to die anytime soon! We have proof with the latest iterations of the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, two popular automobiles that have significantly transformed, completely changing our perception of what a …

The star of the show in New York this week is not one you’d expect, but one which you already know very well. Apple and its CarPlay interface are featured in most, if not all, the new models on display at the show. In the meantime, it seems as though …

The Car Guide will attend the 2018 New York International Auto Show’s media days (March 28-29) and one of the new products we’re looking forward to seeing in the flesh—well, metal—is the sixth generation of the Nissan Altima , which will make its global debut as a 2019 model. Yes, …

Would you drive a car controlled only by a joystick? What has so far been a fantasy embodied by concept cars could very well become a reality, judging by the new technologies in vehicles like the 2018 Nissan LEAF. The ePedal system found in the second-generation LEAF wants you to …
