Wondering what the best snow tires are for your Nissan Altima? Here is the answer.

North American car buyers are abandoning sedans, but Nissan is ready to boost its share with the 2020 Altima. The midsize sedan is a great segment and should be very appealing to individuals and families, especially in light of the rising gas prices.

If you are looking for the best winter snow tires for the Nissan Rogue or CX-5 crossovers, these are the ones owners rate highest.

The 2020 Nissan Versa SR is an amazing value and a car you will love to own.

Nissan has recalled 1.2 million Nissan and Infiniti vehicles to repair their backup camera systems.

Last week I was reviewing the 2019 Nissan Leaf PLUS SL trim. Here are my pros, cons and the bottom line. The 2019 Nissan Leaf PLUS SL trim has a long EV range. It has a great infotainment system operable with a touchscreen. It has a spacious interior and provides a comfortable drive. Plus, it also has an over-the-air update.

This week I am test driving the 2019 Nissan LEAF PLUS and am so far enjoying all aspects of it. As I am reading the Leaf's warranty information the section that helps to protect against rusting caught my attention.

Last week we at Torque News got our hands at the 2019 Nissan Leaf PLUS and have been enjoying the test-drive. One of the things that people were asking us was how the new Leaf PLUS compares to Tesla Model 3, Hyunday Kona and other popular electric cars in terms of price and range. I decided to tackle those questions in this story.

This has been an active week on the car recall front as General Motors recalled 3.5 million trucks and SUVs for braking system problems. Meantime, Nissan is having its own braking system problems.

We evaluate the 2020 Nissan Maxima's infotainment system and find a lot to like with zero hassles.

Overall across the globe, EV sales are up, and the future looks bright. But in the U.S. recent changes in national fuel economy and smog requirements have caused EV sales to drop here. Tesla seems to be the only U.S. automaker who is not holding back, and their growing sales numbers show that many buyers want EVs.

The 2019 Nissan Altima earns Best In Class award from NEMPA. Here's why.

The Japanese automaker claimed the crown for best-selling first-generation EV, but the 2019 Nissan Leaf fails to capitalize on the foundation it laid.

EDIT 5/27/19- Fiat Chrysler submits formal merger proposals to both boards of directors of FCA and Renault in a 50/50 acquisition. Both companies want to consolidate. The fact is that they really can benefit from each other, so as long as it isn’t about another LeCar econobox or Alliance compact!

Subaru is making progress with their interiors, but they aren’t quite there yet.

We test the Nissan Rogue SV crossover on a 1,500-mile tour of America's West.

Will a new Mitsubishi Raider mid-size truck share the new Nissan Frontier platform?

Behavior mapping is now commonplace in our affordable cars. Telematics is now universal. Stopping impaired driving would be easy.

Public charging, replacing, and upgrading an ion battery to a BEV apparently got a little easier and maybe even cheaper to do when two startups recently announced they inked a deal to combine their services onto one menu. Fenix Power and ChargeShare, two young companies worth keeping an eye on, are looking to make BEV ownership easier, cheaper, more accessible, and convenient, and believe they’ve found a way to bridge both the new sales and after market parts arenas in the BEV industry.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: This is an ongoing mini-series of reports themed “life after Leaf,” where I take a look at what happens when you turn in the keys of a firsthand used BEV like Nissan Leaf after a brand new lease or purchase, to wonder what happens to the car thereafter. There’s such a plentiful amount of them that many will not see a long life, but in this report we take a look at why it makes sense to still buy a cheap used all electric car.

I start another mini-series of stories, this time “Life After Leaf,” of several things that can happen when you trade in your Nissan Leaf car, if not the tiny battery from a PHEV or from a smaller ranged BEV, to be repurposed or recycled into something else. In my quest to find electric campers for my social media base, I find this great caravan that uses juice from old Leaf batteries.

Here is your guide to the cars that have the highest devaluation in the United States. These models make great used purchases.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: Extreme weather driving has taken a toll on electric vehicle ranges as we watch BEV owners struggle to stay charged through the winter, their Tesla Model 3 door handles thaw, while the rest watch and learn from their triumphs, trials, and mistakes. I like to say “less is more,” but when it comes to extreme weather driving and batteries, more is more, tiny is workable, keep it plugged in if its 20° F or less, keep it cool over 95° F, and be prepared with options regardless.

The disruption of the gas station is looming. What will the future gas station look like? Cars like Tesla Model S, Model 3, Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolt will turn the future gas station into a Wall Connector charging your car inside your garage. Most likely it will be two cars load sharing on a charger powered by 14 solar panels.

The morning after a winter storm you find that your car, truck, or crossover is vibrating like crazy. Don't panic. It could be this simple cause and it has a simple remedy.

Some German automotive reporters have gathered information about the date when the new 60kWh Nissan Leaf will debut and we already know why the 2019 Leaf didn't debut at the LA Auto Show. However, there seems to be a little disappointment that it will be without liquid-cooling. Many EV drivers were waiting for this feature that the Bolt has.

The leader of Nissan and Renault has been arrested after an internal investigation.
