For decades, Nissan has been king of the Japanese car brands on UK roads.

With their bravely unusual designs, Nissan leads the family-friendly SUV/hatchback crossover market with the Qashqai and the Juke. Their quirky nature means that, despite their wide availability, used models hold their value extremely well.

The Micra continues to compete with the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa at the top of the UK’s best-selling used car charts. Meanwhile, the Pulsar offers unbeatable affordability and practicality for young families.

Nissans have traditionally been seen as reliable car – and for versatility, Nissan can’t be beaten. Their wide range covers everything from electric “runabaouts” (Leaf) to rugged off-roaders (X-Trail). And at the luxury end, the sadly discontinued Skyline is widely considered one of the best sports cars ever produced.
