New Nissan Vehicles Overview


It was a tough time for many of the Japanese automakers after the earthquake and subsequent tsunami, but Nissan has weathered the storm and offers one of the most unique lineups in the industry for 2012.

Starting things off is the Versa sedan was redesigned this year and starts at just under $11,000. Combine that with 30/37 mpg city/highway and a roomy interior and you can see why the Versa represents one of the best bargains around. It is also available as a five-door hatchback which was not redesigned.

The compact Sentra sedan and its sportier SE-R variants are unchanged for 2012. Also standing pat is the midsize Altima which is still available as a coupe or sedan (the Altima Hybrid has been discontinued) and comes with either a fuel efficient four-cylinder engine or a powerful V-6 that produces 270-horsepower. Rounding out Nissan’s lineup of passenger cars is the flagship Maxima, which is actually slightly smaller inside than the Altima but comes with more premium materials and features, as well as a more powerful engine (290-hp vs. a maximum of 270-hp for the Altima).

For sports car enthusiasts, Nissan has two offerings: the 370Z and the world-beating GT-R. The 370Z is the latest incarnation of Nissan/Datsun’s long line of Z sports cars and is also available as a convertible. Nicknamed “Godzilla,” the GT-R is hands-down the best performance car you can buy under six-figures and this 530-hp rocket goes from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds.

Redesigned last year, the Quest minivan offers unique styling and an upscale cabin for families on the go.

Unique is also the operative word for the next pair of cars from Nissan which defy categorization – the Juke crossover and the quirky Cube. The Juke features a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and sporty handling for a very engaging drive, while the Cube with its boxy shape and wraparound rear window will turn heads while offering extra cargo room.

Nissan features a pair of two-row crossover SUVs, the Rogue and the larger Murano. The Rogue can now be outfitted with Nissan’s Around View monitor which offers a top down view of the car while parking, while the Murano offers more power with its larger V-6 and both are available with all-wheel drive. Nissan also offers a convertible version of the Murano (you read that right) called the Murano CrossCabriolet. Truly like nothing else on the road today, this touring, convertible crossover comes essentially fully loaded with luxurious features and only has two doors.

If you’re looking to get off-road, the rugged Xterra SUV is one of the most capable vehicles around with a double-wishbone front suspension and a solid rear axle. A part-time four-wheel drive system is also available.

For those who need to carry more passengers and cargo, Nissan offers two three-row SUVs: the seven-passenger Pathfinder and the full-size, eight-passenger Armada which packs in the luxury features and a cabin that feels more Infiniti than Nissan.

A pair of pickup trucks wraps up the consumer portion of Nissan’s lineup. First up is the midsize Frontier which offers four-cylinder or V-6 power and is more than capable to handle most jobs. If you do need more, then the full-size Titan and its standard V-8 takes the Frontier to the next level, and offers two cab and three different bed configurations.

Nissan also debuts a series of work vans for 2012, the NV 1500, NV 2500, and NV 3500. These vans look very different than most work vans out there with an elongated nose and a boxy appearance.

The all-electric Leaf returns for 2012 and Nissan is hoping to ramp up production and expand the Leaf’s sales area throughout this year.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
