2023 Nissan ARIYA EVOLVE+ – Road Test

The completely new 2023 Nissan ARIYA has been advertised for more than a year, so it’s very familiar and ever since we set our eyes on it we’ve been anticipating the opportunity to spend a week driving one. As an EV and an SUV – it’s Nissan first stab in this marketplace. The Leaf has been around for more than a decade, so Nissan know what they’re doing with regards to car EV’s – but how will their venture into the eSUV segment fair? Note: Lots of pictures and loads of details in this review

2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum AWD – Road Test

Nissan are on a roll at the moment. They’ve turned an entire range of ugly-duckling vehicles into some of the most attractive ones on the road today. Just look at the nose on any SUV of any size/manufacturer on the road and it’s just a mass of chrome or ugliness that can’t really be described. The best part of owning one is that you can’t see the front end from the driver’s seat! The 2023 Nissan Rogue doesn’t fall into that category – it’s actually a good-looking SUV with a nicely proportioned face. It’s not only a looker, but it has a great personality too!

2022 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum – Road Test

Nissan (and Infiniti) went through a period in the mid-2000’s where a huge chunk of their vehicles were… to say it nicely – ugly. Thankfully they’ve turned the corner and the entire line-up is fantastic looking, gorgeous even. The new for 2022 Pathfinder is not only a looker, but Nissan videos show that it’s also a capable towing and off-roading vehicle. To our eyes the Pathfinder has always been a great-looking SUV – even when the original one came out in 1986. It’s changed considerably since then – as have more peoples’ needs and viewpoint on SUV’s. We spend a week with the 5th generation of this iconic SUV – let’s see how it fairs in 2022…

The All-New Nissan Sentra Cup Racing Series Might Be Worth A Look

If you’ve looked at the “Motorsport” sections of Road Test you’ll see that we’ve been covering various racing series’ since 2000. Our beginnings were based on racing and being at the track – first as a photographer and then as a photo editor/photographer/writer for numerous websites. (Most of the links have gone as the sites have disappeared from the web, but I’m re-posting them here as time permits). When I say ‘we,’ I’m not alone on this adventure – my wife is also an avid race fan, photographer and car junkie. Oh, and she also works for a German race car driver in Media and Public Relations. So where am I going with this?
