Legendary Nissan models: history and evolution

Some cars Nissan have become true icons of the auto industry. Their history goes back decades, and individual models (for example, Skyline or Patrol) are still produced, albeit in a greatly modified form. Let's take a look at the most iconic models that have shaped the brand's reputation.

1. Nissan Skyline (1957–present)

Initially positioned as a business sedan, but since the 1960s it has become a symbol of Japanese tuning and sporting achievements. The line is especially famous Skyline GT-R (1969–1972, 1989–2002), which was called "Godzilla"for dominance in racing. Modern Skyline (V37) is a premium sedan with a turbo engine VR30DDTT and all-wheel drive system ATTESA E-TS.

2. Nissan GT-R (2007–present)

Direct heir Skyline GT-R, but as an independent model. R35 (current generation) debuted in 2007 with a 3.8-liter VR38DETT and two turbines, developing 480–600 hp depending on the version. In 2026 GT-R remains one of the fastest production cars with acceleration to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds (modification Nismo).

3. Nissan Patrol (1951–present)

One of the oldest SUVs in the world, competitor Toyota Land Cruiser. Modern Patrol (Y62) is equipped with a 5.6-liter VK56VD (405 hp) and all-wheel drive with reduction gear. In the Middle East it is most popular SUV thanks to reliability and maneuverability.

4. Nissan Leaf (2010–present)

The first production electric car Nissan, which became a bestseller: sold more than 600,000 copies. The second generation (2017) received a battery with a capacity 62 kWh and power reserve up to 385 km according to the WLTP cycle. In 2026 Leaf remains one of the most affordable electric cars in the world.

Why was the Nissan 370Z discontinued?

The reason is tightening environmental regulations (especially in Europe) and low demand for naturally aspirated sports cars. New generation Z (RZ34) received a turbo engine and a hybrid installation, which meets modern requirements.

It is also worth considering that some versions (for example, GT-R Nismo) may cost 2–3 times more expensive basic configurations.

Which Nissan models are best for Russia?

The Russian market has its own characteristics: harsh climate, bad roads and high requirements for reliability. Based on this, experts highlight 5 most adapted models Nissan for Russia:

  1. Nissan Qashqai — the optimal choice for the city and the highway due to the high ground clearance (200 mm) and all-wheel drive ALL MODE 4x4-i.
  2. Nissan X-Trail - a family SUV with a spacious interior and proven suspension Multi-link.
  3. Nissan Almera - a budget sedan with a simple design and inexpensive maintenance.
  4. Nissan Patrol — for off-road and difficult conditions (used even in the Arctic).
  5. Nissan Terrano - compact crossover based on Renault Duster, but with improved sound insulation.

⚠️ Attention: Upon purchase Nissan in Russia pay attention to localization of production. For example, Almera And Terrano are assembled at the plant in St. Petersburg, which simplifies service and supply of spare parts. But Patrol And GT-R - completely imported models, their repair is much more expensive.
