The 2024 Nissan LEAF is an exciting addition to the world of electric vehicles. I had the opportunity to drive and test this vehicle for a week at Torque News, and I must say it left a strong impression.

We experience Nissan's Pathfinder Rock Creek and find many things to highlight.

Any one of these six of the most fuel-efficient 5-year-old nonhybrid midsized sedans, is a smart and satisfying buy according to a new Consumer Reports analysis.

There has been some recent negative press about electric vehicles (EVs), rather than their drivers, creating more tire pollution than gas powered vehicles. I am highly suspicious of these claims.

Launched last year, the 2023 Ariya has put Nissan and its electric know-how back in an increasingly competitive market. I test-drove it for a week and in this review, I am going to tell you about my experience of how well thought and well-made is Ariya.

This morning Nissan announced that it will join Tesla in adopting Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) for its electric vehicles in the United States and Canada.

This week I reviewed the 2023 Nissan Pathfiner'sPlatinum 4WD trim and can say that its quiet, spacious interior and smooth ride make it a great family transportation. I highly recommend to test drive it.

Nissan is one of the only automakers still producing affordable EVs. For 2024, the Leaf starts at under $30K, and that is before any tax incentives or rebates.

A new study sheds some light on the best and worst colors for your vehicle’s resale value. The best colors vary by vehicle type.

The 2023 Nissan Versa SR is one of the very unique sedans these days, which offer a great value for the money. It offers a comfortable ride, a spacious interior, and a long list of standard features. The Versa SR is also very fuel-efficient, getting up to 32 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway.

Although they are both EVs on similarly-sized platforms, they have some very significant differences in personality and charging times.

A study looking at average annual miles driven by owners of three-year-old battery electric vehicles reveals that owners drive them dramatically fewer annual miles than owners of most conventionally-powered cars drive.

Pure sports cars, like the 2023 Nissan Z, are becoming increasingly rare on the market. We can blame the constantly rising insurance premiums, the purchase price too, but also the buying habits of a new generation of customers. And yet, the new generation of the Z is not that expensive. This week I am reviewing the 2023 Nissan Z Performance A/T for Torque News readers.

Nissan has introduced a new all-wheel drive version of its Ariya electric SUV, called the e-4orce. This latest version utilizes two motors instead of one (originally debuted as a front-wheel drive model last fall) to enable all-wheel drive capabilities. This week Torque News is reviewing this new e-4orce model and exploring its features and performance.

For years carmakers from Ford to Nissan and others have used a "jackknife-style" ignition key where the ignition key folds into the body of the key fob when you press a button. This style of ignition key has presented a problem for Nissan, where wear has made it possible for the key to turn off the ignition when you are driving, creating a potential hazard. Nissan has recalled over 700,000 Nissan Rogues and Rogue Sports that used this style key to fix the problem.

Nissan and Kia are two auto manufacturers that may have begun shifting their electric vehicle (EV) market focus away from the United States to Europe, Asia and South America instead. There is a strong likelihood that the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its resultant loss of EV subsidies for many brands or models that are not built with or assembled with batteries and materials sourced from the US or countries the US has free trade agreements with is the main reason this is happening.

The other day I plugged in my Kia Sorento plug-in hybrid (PHEV) at a free, public 240V charging station while I met up with old friends over a bit of nosh. Since I have a PHEV, I don’t need the electric charge, technically, to get around. I can always just burn gas. But there tends to be a notion, among drivers of electric vehicles and those responsible for charging infrastructure, that PHEVs should not use public charging (since they have a gas engine too). I think that idea couldn’t be more wrong.
