Nissan's NV350 Office Pod lets you work anywhere -- seriously
You can pull the office out of the van when you want some time with nature, which sounds pretty wonderful.
The 2021 Tokyo Auto Salon isn't happening due to the coronavirus pandemic, but that isn't stopping Japanese automakers from participating in a virtual fashion. Nissan on Thursday revealed this super quirky concept it had planned to bring to the show: the NV350 Office Pod.
But drivers can legitimately pull the office out of the van to sit within nature or wherever they're parked to enjoy the sights while they carry on with their work day. There's even an upstairs "balcony" to relax on -- complete with a lounge chair and umbrella -- when it's time for a break from the grind. It's very Japanese and very cool.

Nissan Z Development Boss Wants Driving It to Be Like Finding 'a New Dance Partner'
A man not given to hyperbole, Hiroshi Tamura has big goals for the next Nissan Z. And since his title of Chief Product Specialist for the automaker's iconic coupe means it's his job to lead the car's development and maintain its quintessential "Z-ness," we'd do well to listen to what he's saying. In a new interview published by Nissan last week, Tamura was clear about his vision and mission: "I want people to drive the next Z and feel like they have discovered a new dance partner."
This one does, and it should, said Tamura, in the interview Nissan released. As the owner of two vintage Zs, they have the right man for the job. He has worked at Nissan since 1984, and to think he now is in control of helping shape the new car, previewed by the Nissan Z Proto concept (which looks ready for the showroom, frankly), “is a dream come true.” In April 2012, he became the chief product strategist of the GT-R and the 370Z.
“My intent for the Z has always been to provide a balance between style, power and technology, all of which can be easily accessed by the customer. The Z must move right, look right,” he said.
For more than that, we have to wait. It will be worth it, Tamura said. “It helps that I have loved Z cars since the very beginning, and I have owned them over the years. I know what the Z means to me, so I know what it means to the customer.”
Test drive: The 2021 Nissan Rogue is a civilized SUV
The all-new Rogue has seriously upped its game compared to the outgoing model and is packed with a ton of safety and comfort features to help it stand out in the most competitive automobile segment today.
The Rogue is available with front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive, with both versions powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 181 horsepower, an increase from 170 hp in the outgoing model. A CVT transmission is the only one available, and fuel economy is also improved from 29 mpg combined to 30 mpg in front-wheel-drive models and from 27 mpg to 29 mpg with all-wheel-drive.
The 2021 Rogue is slightly smaller than the 2020 model but is still plenty roomy inside and its cargo area is just a hair smaller than the Rav4’s cavernous space. The rear doors open 90 degrees, making them very easy to enter, and a foot-operated powered tailgate is included on some models.
The Rogue brings a lot of tech to the game, including Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 package of automatic emergency brakes, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning and other driver aids, which is standard. It can also be equipped with the ProPilot Assist system, which self-steers the vehicle within a highway lane while the driver keeps their hands on the wheel. Top models add a feature that uses the navigation system to determine what the local speed limit is and automatically adjust to it.
The Rogue’s interior is a little fancier than the Rav4’s and much more so if you go for the new Platinum model, which features quilted leather upholstery that flirts with the luxury segment. It also gets a head-up display, digital instrument cluster, 360-degree parking camera, tri-zone climate control, wireless charging pad, an excellent Bose audio system and a new infotainment setup with wireless Apple CarPlay integration.

2021 Nissan Armada Kicks Up Dust in Teaser Video
By Colin Beresford, CarAndDriver, Dec 4, 2020
- The three-row Nissan Armada is getting a refresh for 2021, and this short clip gives some idea of how it's changing.
- It appears that the front and rear lights gain new shapes and that overall, the boxy figure of the full-size SUV is maintained.
- The 2021 Armada will be revealed in full on December 8.
The Armada's presence on a dirt road does suggest that Nissan isn't messing with the SUV's rugged image, but other than that shot, we're unsure whether such outdoorsy features as all-terrain tires or skid plates will be part of the packaging. From a distance, we can also see that the Armada maintains its boxy figure and doesn't undergo any extreme changes on the front of the vehicle, but perhaps a closeup shot would show something different.
It's difficult to discern any material differences with the quick shot of the rear of the Armada, but from a first look, it does appear that the rear taillights may have a different shape and that other features, such as the rear bumper, may have been slightly altered.
The 2020 Patrol sold elsewhere is likely a good indicator of what the updated Armada is going to look like, including the new grille which drops some of the chrome accents, a larger lower air intake, sleeker headlights, and the addition of side air vents. The Patrol's rear bumper doesn't appear as large as that on the Armada, but that has been the case throughout the previous generation of both vehicles. Its taillights are less rounded, giving the SUV a slightly more refined look, and a chrome runner with the name "Patrol" on it connects the taillights, giving the rear end more continuity.

Redesign for 2021 means a more sophisticated Nissan Rogue
Mary Lowry, 11/30/2020, heraldnet
"Nissan’s Rogue compact SUV, the most popular model in the brand’s lineup, gets a full redesign for 2021. Along with an entire change in appearance, the 2021 Rogue has an all-new platform providing a quieter cabin and improved ride and handling characteristics. Its engine receives a power boost over the previous Rogue, and infotainment and connectivity technology is now up-to-the-minute.
Fuel economy ratings for the new Rogue are a strong selling point. As estimated by the EPA, they are 27 mpg city and 35 mpg highway with front-wheel drive, and 26 mpg city, 33 mpg highway with all-wheel drive. The trade-off is acceleration — a tad less exuberant than some Rogue competitors in the compact SUV segment.
My test car was an SV model with AWD, priced at $29,835. Five drive modes are included in the all-wheel drive system: Off-road, Snow, Standard, Eco and Sport. They are driver-selectable using a dial on the center console.
Rear cargo capacity with second row seats in upright position is 31.6 cubic feet in the S and SV grades. A Divide-N-Hide system in the SL and Platinum grades provides hidden and secure storage and expands cargo capacity to 36.5 cubic feet. There are numerous storage compartments for smaller items, including a center console bin with butterfly-style top opening and door pockets designed to perfectly hold a 32-ounce water bottle or thermos.

2021 Nissan Sentra Gets Even Better With More Standard Tech
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration now come standard on all trims, instead of only on the SV and SR grades. This upgrade alone should justify the small starting price bump. The car continues to offer the most standard safety features in the compact sedan class as part of the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite. This safety suite bundles automatic emergency braking, rear automatic braking, pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic, lane departure warning, and high beam assist.

2021 Nissan GT-R Review: Fast, Visceral and Beautiful
The 2021 Nissan GT-R turns heads and rightly so with beautifully monstrous good looks and it's ready to rise to the attention with a blistering sub-3-second 0-60 time. Yes, it's an aging car, but it's still delivering smiles and earning the nickname Godzilla.
What Is It Like to Drive the 2021 Nissan GT-R?
The Nissan GT-R is blisteringly fast, pushing you into the racing seats and holding you there. Under the GT-R Premium hood is a 3.8L twin-turbo V6 that screams when you push the car. With R modes on and Launch Control, the GT-R bolts from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds in a hard-charging sprint that is tough to match even though other cars are quicker.
It's even possible to daily drive the GT-R, which is what we did during our week with the Premium model. The ride quality is surprisingly good in the standard or Comfort suspension modes. It's not as comfortable as the LC 500 for a long drive, but it is a car that survives the daily driving test for the right person.

2021 Nissan Frontier Leaked! See the Mid-Size Pickup Truck's New Look
Alexander Stoklosa | Oct 23, 2020 | Motortrend
We all know Nissan's Frontier pickup is poised for its first full redesign in 16 years. The current version of the mid-size truck underwent an unusual final-year upgrade, keeping its ancient body and interior but gaining an all-new engine—the same engine, in fact, that will power the new 2021 Nissan Frontier when it arrives. But enough about that old rig. What about that new one? Well, after Nissan released a teaser of the '21 Frontier recently, someone spotted one naked and totally out there.
Leaked photos that appeared on FormaCar.com show a truck that looks a lot like the one Nissan itself teased, and even wears "Frontier" lettering stamped into its grille surround and tailgate. In the photos, two versions of the Frontier can be seen. The white one looks more traditionally outfitted, with a chrome grille surround, running boards, and a silver-finish roof rack. A second Frontier, a flat-gray example, appears to be decked out in more off-road-ready kit. Perhaps it is a PRO-4X model, Nissan's off-road trim level offered on the current Frontier and the larger Titan. This would make sense, given the more aggressive tires it's wearing, along with extra body cladding, blackout grille, roof lights, and front brush bar.
We expect the Frontier's cabin to take a great leap beyond its forebear's dour environment simply by virtue of being, uh, sixteen years newer. Look for Nissan's latest infotainment and active-safety gear to make the leap into the 2021 Frontier. We'll know for sure when the new Fronty is unveiled officially later this year or early next.

September 16, the wraps are going to come off the new Z car!

Nissan 400Z reportedly not coming until 2023
When Nissan put out a hazy cinematic preview of future product in May, sports car fans were thrilled to see the Nissan Z among the assemblage. We got further thrill from what we thought would be the sports car's expected due date: 2021. Seems our calendar-watching got the best of us, because AutoExpress reports the coupe rumored to be called the 400Z won't debut until 2022 and won't go on sale until 2023. When the automaker announced its latest strategy, dubbed "Nissan Next: From A to Z," part of the plan called for launching 12 new models in the next 18 months. We figured the Z would be among that dozen. The plan, however, runs to the end of Nissan's 2023 fiscal year, which doesn't close until March 31, 2024. In that case, a 2023 on-sale date for the 400Z is better than it might have turned out. Assuming AE is correct, the redone sports car arrives 14 years after the current 370Z hit the market.

The 2020 Nissan Sentra Is The Most Comfortable Car You Can Buy Today For About $25,000
If you like a smooth, efficient commute in comfort – the 2020 Nissan Sentra satisfies.
A comfortable ride
Fuel economy is rated at 29 mpg city, 39 mpg highway and 33 mpg combined for the S and SV. The SR gets 28 mpg city, 37 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined. Those numbers are competitive with less powerful vehicles in this class.”
Comfort and styling
Nissan is sticking to the same design language they are using on all of their cars. The Sentra looks like the Versa, which looks like the Altima and Maxima. It’s attractive, but less so when sitting next to another Nissan car. Odd. Another odd ting, the truck of the Nissan Sentra is 14.3 cubic feet. Which is big… the same exact size as the Nissan Maxima’s truck.
The interior design is excellent, a step or two up from the previous Sentra. I like it better than the Nissan Altima, which I thought was pretty good as well. For an inexpensive car, it feels downright premium.

Forget how to drive? Nissan tech can lend a helping hand
- Heading to another birthday parade? Re-familiarize yourself with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, which can provide audio and visual alerts and even apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate collisions. Nissan's Rear Automatic Braking4 helps the driver detect stationary objects when backing up and, if necessary, can apply the brakes to help avoid a collision. Both technologies are part of Nissan Safety Shield 360.
- Pulling out of a curbside pickup spot? When backing out of a parking space, Rear Cross Traffic Alert5 makes it easy by watching the area around the rear of the vehicle and can warn you about detected approaching vehicles you might not see.
- Forgetting the speed limit? Traffic Sign Recognition keeps you up to date with the latest speed limit by detecting road signs as you go.
- Unintended lane drifting? Nissan Safety Shield 360 technologies can alert drivers if they begin to drift from their lane or if another vehicle is in their blind spot areas thanks to Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning systems. The ProPILOT Assist system combines Nissan's Intelligent Cruise Control9 and Steering Assist technologies to maintain a gap with the car in front of you at a preset distance and to help keep the vehicle centered during single-lane highway driving, even on slight curves.
- Glued to your smartphone? Put the cell phone down when you're behind the wheel and rely on the intelligent connectivity tools such as NissanConnect® with Navigation and Services, featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, for directions, phone calls and messaging.
The ProPILOT Assist system represents the first generation of advanced driver assistance features in Nissan vehicles. The next generation of Nissan's Assistance technology will support steering, braking, and accelerating during multi-lane driving.
