Nissan Canada invited The Car Guide to drive the all-new Qashqai subcompact crossover at a media event in Montreal. Qashqai represents a major North-American product launch for the company particularly because they expect it to be the brand’s second-bestselling vehicle in a very short period of time—behind their Canadian sales …

The Pathfinder is one of the more well-known names in the family SUV/crossover market given that it’s been around seemingly forever. It was originally introduced in 1986 as a body-on-frame SUV, but this latest fourth-generation is actually a unibody-construction crossover and shares its platform with the Nissan Altima, Maxima, Murano …

This year, Nissan introduced the 2017 Qashqai, a vehicle that is expected to quickly become one of the brand’s bestsellers.

Nissan actually did just the opposite with the 370Z: they came out …

The midsize, seven-passenger SUV segment is chock full of choices and we all know that bigger and trendy vehicles are most profitable for automakers.
