Nissan SUV
SUV Reviewer
The Nissan SUV line offers a blend of choices that can have both car and truck enthusiasts getting everything they want from an SUV. The Nissan SUV has been around since the late 80s bringing to life the various elements that create the reliable, functional, safe, and family friendly experience that is conducive to a wide range of SUV enthusiasts.
The Nissan Pathfinder is the staple vehicle in the line up of Nissan SUVs. It offers third row seating, all around functionality, and a 4.0 liter engine with 266 horsepower. Stepping up to the 5.6 liter engine brings 310 horsepower to the picture. The Pathfinder can tow about 7000 pounds without being so cumbersome that it can't fit into a typical garage or parking space. Off road performance is better than average and the storage space makes a getaway easy.
The Nissan SUV line now includes the Cube. The Cube is an interesting styling choice for those who are looking to bring the SUV into the 21st century. Its boxy styling is still rounded to produce a look that is both bulky and sleek at the edges at the same time. Some people consider the Cube part of the Nissan SUV family while others call it a hatchback station wagon with the look of a small SUV. The 6 speed manual transmission is a bonus for those who miss the thrill of stick shift fun. The Cube doesn't offer enough cargo space to compete with others in its class, including the Honda Fit. It does offer a smooth ride, provided corners are taken with care.
The Xterra is the Nissan SUV of choice for those that truly get into the off road experience. The ride on the road is not as smooth as many others in its class but the off road performance is what keeps the Xterra a favorite among active families. The cargo area is above average and the addition of simple features like tie down points make it more user friendly for the real adventurer. This Nissan SUV was designed to attract the crowd of thirty something's that are looking for adventure throughout the weekend with enough room for the kids and all of their belongings.
The Nissan SUV crossover model, the Rogue, has been met with critical reviews. The performance on road is said to be a bit underpowered and lacking in the performance that the outer shell promises. With small cargo space it doesn't meet the general criteria for crossover weekend performance. As an all weather vehicle it stands up to the challenges that it has been given, including snow and rain.
Nissan tends to create vehicles that power through performance tests and provide better than average ratings for safety and consumer satisfaction. The company strives to bring the most flexibility to the design as possible while specifically targeting the demographics that are looking for all they can get from an SUV. The successful run of many models has helped to offset the few disappointing models that they have released. Overall, you get a good value without sacrificing the features that are important to SUV owners.
