Nucar Nissan of Norwood offers reliable, comfortable vehicles at affordable prices. You can save even more when you purchase your next car by considering a used Nissan. Many of these vehicles last for more than 200,000 miles, and most depreciation happens within the first year after buying a new car. This means a used vehicle can be a much better deal for many drivers than a new car. Here are some of the best Nissan models to consider buying used.

The Nissan Altima is a long-running family sedan with high-tech features and safety technology. It has plenty of space for five adults and offers 12 available trim levels. Even if you choose an Altima that’s more than a decade old, you can often get push-button start, navigation, keyless entry, voice activation, and more. This popular vehicle comes with a comfortable interior, a smooth ride, superb handling and acceleration, and good fuel economy.

Starting with the fifth generation or the 2013 model year, the Altima received an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick+ rating. For the largest number of safety features, you can choose the 2021 model. It has automatic emergency front braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, driver attention warning, and dual-stage front airbags with occupancy sensors.

Electronic stability control, a security system, hill start assistance, and forward collision warning are standard as well. Some 2021 Altimas also have traffic sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a driving assistance system with lane-centering and adaptive cruise control.

Nissan introduced the Maxima in 1981, and it’s Nissan’s flagship vehicle. It’s larger than the Altima, and people often call it a four-door sports car. It’s fun to drive and fuel-efficient, and many models have an independent suspension, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), paddle shifters on the steering wheel, active noise cancellation, and normal and sport driving modes.

Lots of newer Maximas have a unique, angular Vmotion grille with a chrome Nissan symbol in the center. Standard features often include LED headlights and daytime running lights, all-season tires, acoustic glass, automatic headlights, and 18-inch wheels. Some models include 19-inch wheels, a spoiler, fog lights, heated side mirrors with turn signals, a dual-panel power panoramic moonroof, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

The 2020 Nissan Maxima has Zero Gravity seats. They use 14 different pressure points to reduce fatigue and keep people in comfortable positions, and they’re ideal for long trips. Dual-zone climate control with rear vents, an 8-inch touch screen, folding rear seats, a CD player, buttons on the steering wheel, speed-sensitive volume controls, SiriusXM satellite radio, and remote start are standard as well.

Nissan introduced the Nissan Murano in 2003, and it was the company’s first crossover SUV. It offers plenty of power, responsive steering, an upscale interior, and a sleek, modern-looking exterior. Features often include a CVT, an independent suspension, all-wheel drive, Zero Gravity seats, and SiriusXM satellite radio. Many models come with voice recognition, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, an 8-inch touch screen, four USB ports, and speed-sensitive volume control.

You can also get folding rear seats, push-button start, a CD player, a universal garage door opener, a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar settings, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, ambient lighting, remote start, and heated and cooled front seats. The seats are available in several colors and styles, and an 11-speaker Bose sound system with two subwoofers is optional with many models and trim levels. You can also select a used Murano with memory settings for the steering wheel, driver’s seat, and side mirrors.

The 2021 Murano was an IIHS Top Safety Pick+. It has dual-stage front airbags, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, a rearview camera, a security system, cruise control, and forward collision warning. A rear sonar system, rear cross-traffic alert, driver alertness monitoring, and blind-spot warning are also standard. Options can include a 360-degree camera system and traffic sign recognition.

The Nissan Rogue looks like a smaller version of the Murano. It’s a popular compact SUV that debuted in 2008. It has a spacious interior, a smooth ride, and excellent fuel economy. Many models offer all-wheel drive, navigation, 17-, 18-, or 19-inch alloy wheels, a seven-speaker Bose audio system, automatic LED headlights, rear privacy glass, all-season tires, daytime running lights, a rear windshield wiper, solar glass, and a spoiler.

You can also find Rogues with fog lights, a motion-activated power liftgate, heated side mirrors with turn signals, a dual panoramic moonroof, and roof rails. The CVT has eco, manual, sport, and auto driving modes, and many models come with off-road and snow modes as well. Other potential features include two- or three-zone climate control, ambient lighting, memory settings for the seats and side mirrors, remote-folding rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and an 8- or 9-inch touch screen.

With the 2021 model, Intelligent Trace Control can activate the brakes on different wheels automatically for optimal traction during turns. Many of these SUVs use intelligent all-wheel drive to send power to the wheels that need it. When you don’t need all-wheel drive, the vehicle switches to front-wheel drive to conserve fuel. Many models have a 12-inch, customizable driver information display, rear sunshades, a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless charging, and more.

Like many other Nissans, this SUV has outstanding safety features. The 2021 Rogue received the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, and it comes with a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning.

Many other Nissans make excellent used vehicles as well. The Sentra is a compact sedan that’s ideal for commuting. It has a roomy interior despite its small size, and many earlier models include CD players. If you’re looking for a versatile truck, consider the Nissan Frontier.

It has four doors and a comfortable interior, and it can handle tough trails.
