Nissan aims to double mileage for its First Hybrid.

Nissan Motor Co. said it aims to significantly improve and nearly double the mileage on its first hybrid car developed compared with the gasoline-engine version, while keeping costs down with a simple, single-motor system.

Japan's No. 3 automaker is due to launch a gasoline-electric Infiniti M sedan, called Fuga in Japan, late this year.

While admitting to the late start, Nissan said its one-motor, two-clutch system would achieve far better fuel economy, at a much lower technical cost compared with hybrid leader Toyota's complex, two-motor system.

"Typically, carmakers say the fuel economy improvement on their cars using a 'strong' or 'full' hybrid system is roughly 30 percent, while for 'mild' hybrids (like Honda's), it's 15 percent," said Koichi Hayasaki, chief engineer of Nissan's rear-wheel-drive hybrid system.

"We're aiming for an improvement of 60 to 90 percent," he said, adding that the hybrid Infiniti M would have mileage comparable to that of a compact car.

Nissan's hybrid system has a structure similar to that of Volkswagen AG's, mounting an extra clutch that separates the electric motor from the engine to allow for driving using only electric power when the battery is charged.


By having fewer components, Hayasaki said, Nissan's hybrid system was roughly 30 kg (66 lb) lighter than Toyota's series parallel system, which mounts two electric motors and two inverters, which make up the bulk of a hybrid system's cost.

As part of its drive to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from its cars, Nissan is planning to also launch fuel-efficient three- and four-cylinder gasoline engines and stop-and-start technology this business year.

The new March, due for launch in Japan this month, will be the first to use the stop-start feature, which automatically shuts down the engine when the car comes to a brief stop. Nissan, held 43 percent by France's Renault SA, is due to start selling the Leaf full-electric car in Europe starting in December. Its sole hybrid model now is the Altima sedan, which uses Toyota's hybrid system.

Nissan Sentra - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 Nissan Sentra ranks 24 out of 30 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 63 published reviews and test drives of the Nissan Sentra, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

For 2010 Nissan has reworked its pricing structure so that all six trims of the new Sentra are offered with more features at a lower starting price, which means a savings ranging from a of little over $100 on the base trim to over $1,000 on the top-of-the-line models. That said, between its underpowered engine and bland exterior styling, there are definitely other options that are worth a look.

Little has changed about the 2010 Sentra since its redesign three years ago, but there are a few changes. To begin with, the Sentra receives a slightly updated look with new headlights, taillights and a redesigned grille. All trims are also getting higher quality cloth interiors.

The 2010 Nissan Sentra has a lot going for it -- decent gas mileage, a comfortable and roomy cabin and an impressive list of interior features -- so reviewers agree that it's a good choice as a daily driver. Nonetheless, for the most part, the automotive press is unimpressed with the Sentra. The biggest complaints concern the unimpressive engine and abundant interior plastics. If performance is important to you, you should definitely check out the Mazda3 for both its higher "fun-to-drive" quotient and starting price of about $1,000 less than the Sentra. The Volkswagen Jetta is also worth considering for its considerably smoother ride, although you will pay about $1,000 extra for the additional comfort. Moreover, if you're looking for a higher quality interior with a similarly long list of features in the same general price range, have a look at the Volkswagen Rabbit.

The Sentra's four basic trims (2.0, 2.0 S, 2.0 SR and 2.0 SL) are offered with a two-liter four-cylinder engine while the two more upscale trims (SE-R and SE-R Spec V) boast stronger engines. Be sure to check out this month's Nissan Deals, where we've done the research so you can get the best discounts and incentives on a new Nissan.

• Nissan has seemed to do the impossible with its refreshed 2010 Sentra and has added more amenities for a lower price. Now that's a combination that won't get old anytime soon." -- Motor Trend
• "The new Sentra...looks more mature than the overly edgy current model. Combine that with more features and options available at a lower starting price across the board, and we think the Sentra may have a fighting chance of moving up a spot or two in the small car segment." -- Autoblog
• "Sentra is a competent compact sedan with a number of upscale features." -- Consumer Guide
• "If it's overshadowed in this realm by the Honda Civic, at least it's roomy, possesses good road manners, and is priced to sell." -- Car and Driver
• "Most people buy a compact car to get the job done: namely, traveling economically from point A to point B. Just because a compact car often is a utilitarian purchase doesn't mean it has to be generic. With the 2009 Sentra, Nissan injects character without forgetting the small-car manifesto: the car has to be inexpensive to buy and operate." -- Washington Times
• "The 2009 Nissan Sentra is a decent choice for an economy sedan, mainly because of its spacious cabin. However, other choices are better rounded, particularly in terms of fun factor, even compared to the SE-R models." -- Edmunds

Sentra Performance - 6.8 (Mediocre)

The 2010 Nissan Sentra is best used as a daily driver rather than a high-performance machine. Car and Driver says it best, claiming that the Sentra "possesses good road manners" but is "ho-hum in the power department." Read More

Sentra Exterior - 6.9 (Mediocre)

For 2010, Nissan gives the new Sentra a more updated look with new headlights, taillights and a redesigned grille. The automotive press hasn't had time to weigh in on the new changes, but they were less than thrilled by the exterior styling of the 2009 Sentra. That model was often described as "corporate-looking" and "peculiar." "Let me just say this: I don't think the Sentra's styling is a home run," says the Washington Times. Read More

Sentra Interior - 7.9 (Good)

Reviewers are impressed with the 2010 Sentra's well-designed interior which is more spacious than the hum-drum tight squeezes that make up most of the affordable small car class. As Cars.com puts it, "Just like its exterior, the Sentra's interior bests the competition." Read More

Sentra Safety - 9.6 (Excellent)

The federal government gave high marks to the 2010 Nissan Sentra in all crash tests, and although the insurance industry has not yet been able to complete its crash testing, the 2009 model earned top scores across the board. Read More

Nissan Rogue 2010 is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 6 variants, namely the S 2WD, S AWD, SL 2WD, SL AWD, S 2WD Krom, S AWD Krom.

The Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan.The Nissan Rogue made its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 7, 2007.



U.S. News & World Report ranked the Rogue exactly in the middle of the 27 "affordable compact" SUVs they rated; its highest marks were for its safety features, while its lowest ratings were for its predicted reliability.

Nissan Rogue - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 Nissan Rogue ranks 16 out of 24 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 32 published reviews and test drives of the Nissan Rogue, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

Introduced in 2008, the Nissan Rogue is a decent value within its class. Its pleasant on-pavement ride, great cargo versatility, better-than-average fuel economy and affordable price trump many class competitors and make it worth a look. Still, without a V6 engine option, it falls short on power.

With a sticker price just over $20,000, the five-passenger Rogue is one of the more affordable compact SUVs. Its 22/27 mpg rating also places it in the top half of its class for fuel economy. "Overall, Rogue's competitors are quieter and more refined, but this compact Nissan gets points for sleek styling and high levels of interior functionality," says Consumer Guide. "If you can live with Rogue's sometimes harsh ride, this little Nissan might make sense."

Other SUVs to Consider

Though the Rogue's value makes it a good choice for families, there are even cheaper and more efficient options available. Value-seekers should check out the Jeep Patriot (which offers off-road capabilities) and Compass, which cost less than $19,000 and boast 23/28 mpg ratings. Unfortunately, like the Rogue, these don't offer V6 engines.

For more power, consider the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sorento and Dodge Nitro, all of which offer V6s. Remember, however, that you'll have to spend a bit more (at least $21,000), and fuel economy won't be as good.

Details: Nissan Rogue

The only addition the Rogue sees for 2010 is a 360 Value Package for the base model. It adds exterior features including a chrome grille, rear spoiler and 16-inch alloy wheels. The new model is priced only $120 more than the 2009 Rogue. Be sure to check out this month's Nissan Deals to see if any discounts or incentives are available on the Rogue.

The Rogue is available in two trims -- the base S and upscale SL -- in either front- or all-wheel drive.

• "On its first try, Nissan has produced a good-looking and spirited small SUV. It doesn't have a third row or optional V-6 power, but there are plenty of small-SUV buyers who desire neither feature. The Rogue has the rest of the small-sport-ute checklist covered." -- Car and Driver
• "Without any real standout quality, the Rogue has a hard time making a case for itself in the panoply of competitors." -- Automobile Magazine
• "Overall, the Rogue is a fun, sporty and cool-looking compact crossover." -- Popular Mechanics
• "Bottom line: If you need rugged, off-road capability, get an Xterra. If you want a kinder, gentler station wagon that you don't have to call a station wagon, get the Rogue." -- Orlando Sentinel
• "The Rogue just barely manages to meet our performance expectations for a crossover SUV in its price range, and falls short when it comes to cabin tech." -- CNET

Rogue Performance - 7.8 (Good)

Test drivers are relatively pleased with the 2010 Nissan Rogue's overall performance, although its gearless transmission and underpowered engine detract from the praise. On the plus side is the Rogue's fuel economy, which is excellent for its class. Read More

Rogue Exterior - 7.1 (Good)

The 2010 Nissan Rogue's curvy styling gets a mixed reception. Some say it looks too much like others in its class, while others like its conventional look. "For an entry-level crossover, quite frankly it looks athletic and stylish," says Automobile.com.  Read More

Rogue Interior - 7.9 (Good)

The 2010 Nissan Rogue's cabin is comfortable, upscale and provides plenty of versatile cargo space. "If the CR-V sets the standard for lavish interiors in this segment, the Rogue matches it," says MSN. The materials are especially high-quality for the Rogue's affordable price. Also on the plus side is the Rogue's excellent optional rear pop-up storage system. Read More

Rogue Safety - 9.4 (Excellent)

The 2010 Nissan Rogue does very well in federal government and insurance industry crash tests. A big plus is that nearly all available safety features come standard. Read More

Rogue Reliability - 5.0 (Mediocre)

Nissan Pathfinder - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 Nissan Pathfinder ranks 21 out of 23 Affordable Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 41 published reviews and test drives of the Nissan Pathfinder, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

First introduced in 1986, the long-running Nissan Pathfinder is a good choice for those who want a versatile cabin and decent off-road capabilities. However, this SUV lags behind competitors in on-pavement handling and interior refinement, so it may not work as a daily driver or family hauler.

Unless buyers spend most of their time off road, the Nissan Pathfinder may be a poor choice. And even as an off-roader, it's bested by many of its competitors, including the Toyota FJ Cruiser and Nissan's own Xterra. Its overwhelming number of cargo and seating configurations is a strength. However, though its seven-seat capacity makes it tempting as a family vehicle, the second and third rows are cramped.

"Riding the same fully boxed frame as the full-size Armada SUV, the Pathfinder is exceptionally rugged, and the addition of a V-8 option last year gives it strong performance and towing capability," says Car and Driver. "Independent suspension makes for good road manners, and there's seating for seven." The Pathfinder is priced around the middle of its class, but its fuel economy falls closer to the bottom (though it's about average when compared to other off-road SUVs).

Other SUVs to Consider

Buyers who want a rugged SUV but need more comfortable accommodations should consider the Toyota 4Runner and Ford Explorer. The least expensive off-road SUV, the Jeep Patriot, costs less than $20K and boasts much better fuel economy than the Nissan Pathfinder.


New features for this year include a standard moonroof on the LE V6 model, a standard navigation system on the LE V8, and simplified exterior and interior color combinations. If you like the Pathfinder, be sure to check out this month's Nissan Deals.

The 2010 Nissan Pathfinder is available in several trims: the base S FE+, S, SE, LE V6 and LE V8. Since the 2010 model is nearly identical to the 2009, this review uses research from both model years.

• "For everyday driving ease and fuel economy, this truck-type SUV trails such crossover rivals as the GMC Acadia and Nissan's own Murano. Only the most expensive versions offer the convenience of 4-wheel drive that can be left engaged on dry pavement." -- Consumer Guide
• "The...Nissan Pathfinder plays the role of a tough, rugged cowboy ready for the range. Yet, when negotiating city streets, the Pathfinder is a tame tiger offering many amenities to please the in-town crowd." -- DogCars.com
• "Never having been much of a fan of the $40,000 SUV weighing nearly 5,000 pounds, I didn't find a lot enticing about this vehicle. It did go well in snow, with the drive-mode selector in 'auto.' The rearview camera, the heated steering wheel and the navigation system all proved useful enough at various times, but I could live without any of it and not miss a thing." -- AutoWeek
• "The 2010 Nissan Pathfinder can tame the wilderness with its off-road skill, but it's not as adept in the concrete jungle. Consumers just wanting a comfortable seven-passenger midsize SUV will be better served by a large crossover." -- Edmunds  

Pathfinder Performance - 7.5 (Good)

The Pathfinder's strengths are a solid driving feel, powerful V8 engine option and excellent off-road abilities. However, reviewers continue to complain about a less car-like ride than competitors -- a serious downside in a segment full of smooth-riding crossover SUVs.  Read More

Pathfinder Exterior - 6.9 (Mediocre)

The 2010 Pathfinder's look receives mixed reviews. Automobile.com calls it "a truck in truck's clothing, sharing the blocky, chiseled styling of the Xterra, but even more closely resembling the chrome-grilled Titan and Frontier pickups." Read More

Pathfinder Interior - 7.4 (Good)

The 2010 Pathfinder's seven-seat interior is versatile and even somewhat upscale. Reviewers appreciate the standard third-row seat, but note that both the second and third rows can be cramped. "Inside the Nissan Pathfinder, occupants will find an attractive cabin with excellent ergonomics," says -- Edmunds. Read More

Pathfinder Safety - 9.2 (Excellent)

The 2010 Nissan Pathfinder does relatively well in federal government crash tests, but receives a three-star rollover score -- when many competitors receive four stars.  Read More

Pathfinder Reliability - 5.0 (Mediocre)

The 2010 Nissan Pathfinder reliability score shown is the Predicted Reliability rating provided by J.D. Power and Associates.

Nissan Cube - What the Auto Press Says - usnews.rankingsandreviews

The 2010 Nissan Cube ranks 16 out of 30 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 32 published reviews and test drives of the Nissan Cube, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

In its second year on the market, the 2010 Nissan Cube offers the same bold styling, spacious interior and low price that make it appealing to those who want a hatchback that makes a statement. Still, the car’s design is unusual enough that it may cause some to overlook it for that reason alone.

The Nissan Cube (with a lower-case c) is the car to choose if you want a ride that screams eccentricity. In fact, the Cube’s unusual styling is arguably the most obvious reason to buy it. Boasting an asymmetrical design, the Cube’s exterior includes eye-catching elements like windows designed to look like picture frames and a rear window that appears to sweep around the rear right side. Even the inside has a bunch of fun and funky touches, like a ceiling with a water-drop design that sports concentric circles. There is also the option for a 20-color lighting package, which cycles through various colors at your feet while you drive.

In addition to look-at-me styling, the Cube also offers good handling dynamics and excellent maneuverability. It boasts a number of innovative storage options, like bungee-cords on the doors for storing maps or other papers. It even has exceptionally comfortable front seats, all for an affordable price.

Still, the Cube does have some drawbacks. To begin with, its greatest asset may also be its biggest liability. Its unique styling will undoubtedly be enough of a turn-off to some consumers to cause them to cross it off their shopping lists. Furthermore, the Cube has poor acceleration and a low highway fuel economy rating. There are definitely other cars that should be considered with the Cube.

The Honda Fit may cost $1,000 more than the Cube, but it offers one of the most versatile cabins of any vehicle in the class, has a phenomenal fuel economy rating of 28/35 mpg and is considered legitimately fun to drive. The Kia Soul is one of the Cube’s direct competitors in the “box-car” segment. It offers styling that is less polarizing than the Cube’s, a roomier rear seat and a starting price that is around $700 less than the Cube. Finally, the Toyota Yaris is a fairly bare-bones vehicle in comparison to the Cube, but it offers a fantastic 29/35 mpg fuel economy rating and a starting price of about $1,500 less than the Cube.

The Cube is available in four trims -- the 1.8, 1.8S, 1.8SL and top-of-the-line Krom (pronounced "chrome"). Since little has changed about the Cube for the 2010 model year, you may want to consider buying a 2009 model. You may be able to get a discount as dealers try to make room on their lots for the new 2010 models. You should also check out this month's Nissan Deals, where we've done the research so you can get the best discounts and incentives on a new Nissan.

• "Looks aside, we still think the Cube is a clever package that should win many cubist converts. Like its predecessor, the new Cube is based on Nissan's B platform, which also underpins the Versa hatch and sedan. With a claimed starting price of "around $14,000," the Cube should be a roomier alternative to a five-door Versa for only about a thousand dollars more." -- Car and Driver
• "Nissan's Cube offers a surprising amount of space and practicality in a small and highly styled packaged. People shopping small sport utility vehicles, and outgoing folk looking for something beyond the ordinary subcompact universe should give Nissan's personality infused little box a look." -- Consumer Guide
• "Awkward proportions and asymmetric styling prove big barriers that mask the Cube's many strengths-including a lively drive, impressive interior room, and attractive details." -- Motor Trend
• "If you like the look of the Cube, you'll also enjoy its utility. There's nothing like a little box for a place to put your stuff, starting with a large rear door that opens like a refrigerator to swallow cargo. And Nissan was clever enough to hinge the door so that it opens from the curb in countries where we drive and park on the right side of the road." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
• "To stand out in the square car market, the company seems to have made "quirkiness" their signature on the Cube. A byproduct of this design is that you finally have a car with a rear window big enough that short people can see out of." -- CNET

Cube Performance - 7.0 (Good)

Those interested in the Nissan Cube probably don’t have much interest in drag racing. That’s good because the Cube won’t win any races. Still, its maneuverability and handling surprise some reviewers. Consumer Guide says the "Cube has no sporting intentions and generally imparts a comfortable ride around town, but can't completely smother large bumps." Read More

Cube Exterior - 7.8 (Good)

Reviewers agree that the 2010 Nissan Cube’s asymmetrical design is one of the most unique in its class -- and most of them like it. CNET says that, "Compared to the other box-shaped cars, the Cube has the ‘edgiest’ design." Nonetheless, the design is polarizing enough to be a deterrent to some. Read More

Cube Interior - 8.5 (Very Good)

Reviewers are impressed with how well thought-out the Cube’s interior is, especially given its affordable price. Even though its materials are on the cheaper side, they are well laid out and display thoughtful design touches like a solar system-inspired gauge cluster. AutoGuide.com says, "Even with all this functionality, Nissan has included some frivolity standard and offers plenty of silly details as options. One such detail is the design of the roof, which resembles a water drop hitting a pool of water. And it doesn't just look that way; the ceiling fabric is actually textured." On top of that, the Cube’s sheer number of available features rivals those of some more upscale cars. Read More

Cube Safety - NA

Neither the federal government nor the insurance industry has crash tested the 2010 Nissan Cube, but it does offer a number of standard safety features to help ease any concerns about safety. Read More

Cube Reliability - 6.0 (Mediocre)

The 2010 Nissan Cube reliability score shown is the Predicted Reliability rating provided by J.D. Power and Associates. This score is based on trending the past three years of historical initial quality and dependability data from J.D. Power's automotive studies, specifically the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) and the Initial Quality Study (IQS). The 2010 Nissan Cube is backed by a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty.
