Brand context
About Nissan
<p>Nissan's SUVs, pickup trucks, and EVs usually perform well in our road tests, but their Overall Scores can suffer because of up-and-down reliability and average to below-average owner satisfaction. Inconsistent quality across the brand means some Nissans are a better choice than others. Many of its gasoline vehicles use small turbocharged engines and continuously variable transmissions to give owners both competitive fuel economy and sporty performance. Most new Nissans come standard with a full suite of active safety and driver assist systems. Used Nissans typically have average reliability according to our surveys.</p>
