Nissan vehicle research
The Nissan vehicle research desk indexes 12 current EPA model families for model years 2025–2027, totaling 35 certification records across 32 model/option labels. Current Nissan certification data spans Electricity, Premium, Regular fuel types and 4-Wheel Drive, All-Wheel Drive, Front-Wheel Drive, Part-time 4-Wheel Drive, Rear-Wheel Drive drivetrains, with combined efficiency of 16–121 MPG/MPGe. The archive extends further back with 33 additional model-year records across 12 Nissan models. 12 dedicated model hubs break this down by nameplate, and each family page adds its own 12-answer decision desk covering configuration choice, ownership, maintenance and used buying. Every figure here traces back to its own EPA row or dated manufacturer source, never averaged across the make.

About the brand
About Nissan.
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., also known as Nissan Motor Corporation or just Nissan, formerly known as Jidosha-seizo, and stylized as NISSAN, is a Japanese multinational automobile manufacturer headquartered in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. The company sells its vehicles under the Nissan and Infiniti brands, and formerly the Datsun brand, with in-house performance tuning products (including cars) under the Nismo and Autech brands. The company can be traced back to the beginning of the 20th century with the Nissan zaibatsu, or Nissan Group.
- History
- Masujiro Hashimoto founded the Kwaishinsha (Kaishinsha) Motor Car Works on 1 July 1911 in Azabu-Hiroo district of Tokyo. In 1914, the company produced its first car, called the DAT.
- Lineup
- Nissan has produced an extensive range of mainstream cars and trucks, initially for domestic consumption but exported around the world since the 1950s. It also produced several memorable sports cars, including the Datsun Fairlady 1500, 1600 and 2000 Roadsters, the Z-car, an affordable sports car originally introduced in 1969; and the GT-R, a powerful all-wheel-drive sports coupe. In 1985, Nissan created a tuning division, Nismo, for competition and performance development of such cars.
- Corporate identity
- For many years, Nissan used a red wordmark for the company, and car badges for the "Nissan" and "Infiniti" brands. At Nissan's 2013 earnings press conference in Yokohama, Nissan unveiled "a new steel-blue logo that spells out—literally—the distinction between Nissan the company and Nissan the brand." Using a blue-gray color scheme, the new corporate logo did read NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY.
- Electric vehicles
- Nissan introduced its first battery electric vehicle, the Nissan Altra at the Los Angeles International Auto Show on 29 December 1997. Unveiled in 2009, the EV-11 prototype electric car was based on the Nissan Tiida (Versa in North America), with the conventional gasoline engine replaced with an all-electric drivetrain.
