Below - photos of all current production cars with brief characteristics. Please note: some models (eg Leaf) are not officially supplied to Russia, but are available on the secondary market.

• 🚗 Nissan Almera - a budget sedan, the best-selling in Russia (from 2021 it will be assembled in Togliatti).

• ⚡ Nissan Ariya — the brand’s first mass-produced electric crossover (power reserve up to 500 km).
• 🏜️ Nissan Patrol - flagship SUV with a V8 engine (sold in Russia as Nissan Armada).
• 🚐 Nissan X-Trail — mid-size crossover (4th generation, hybrid version available in Japan).

Deserves special attention Nissan Juke is a compact crossover with a bright design that has become iconic thanks to its non-standard shapes. The second generation (from 2019) received a 1.0 l turbo engine and a system ProPILOT for semi-autonomous driving. But Nissan Navara is a pickup truck that is sold in Russia under the name NP300 and competes with Toyota Hilux.

Legendary Nissan models: photos of rare and historic cars

Over its 90-year history Nissan released dozens of iconic models that are considered rarities today. For example, Nissan Skyline R34 (1999–2002) - an icon of Japanese tuning, glorified in the movie "Fast and Furious". Or Nissan 300ZX (Z32) (1989–2000) - a sports car with a twin-turbo V6, which is still in demand on the secondary market.

Below are photographs of the most famous models that are no longer produced, but remain standards of design and engineering:

• 🏁 Nissan GT-R (R35) — “Bogzilla” with 550+ hp. (produced since 2007, but has already become a legend).
• 🚀 Nissan Silvia (S15) — rear-wheel drive sports car for drifting (1999–2002).
• 🏗️ Nissan Terrano II - frame SUV, predecessor X-Trail (1993–2006).
• 💨 Nissan 240SX (S13/S14) - an iconic drift car of the 90s.

Fun fact: Nissan 240SX (known in Japan as 180SX And Silvia) is still used in professional drift competitions thanks to its perfectly balanced rear-wheel drive platform. But Nissan Stagea (1996–2007) is a station wagon based on Skyline, which in Japan was called the “wolf pack” for its aggressive appearance.

Where can you buy rare Nissans today?

At auctions in Japan (for example, Japan Auction House) rare models in excellent condition often appear. In Russia they are searched for Avito, Drom.ru or through specialized clubs (for example, Nissan Skyline Club Russia). Prices for R34 Skyline start from 3 million rubles, and for GT-R R32 in perfect condition asking 5+ million.

Nissan electric cars: photos and technical data

Nissan - one of the pioneers of mass electric transport. The brand's first production electric car, Nissan Leaf, debuted in 2010 and became the best-selling electric car in the world (more than 500,000 units sold). In 2026, the line was replenished with a crossover Ariya, which offers a range of up to 500 km and a system ProPILOT 2.0 for semi-autonomous driving.

Below are photos and key characteristics of all Nissan electric vehicles:

• ⚡ Nissan Leaf (2010–present) — hatchback, range 270–385 km, motor 110–160 kW.

⚠️ Attention: In Russia Nissan Leaf And Ariya are not officially sold, but they can be imported to order through parallel imports.

Before purchasing, check the availability of spare parts and the possibility of warranty service!

How to distinguish Nissan models by appearance: visual guide

Many models Nissan have similar design features, making them difficult to identify. For example, Qashqai And X-Trail often confused due to the similar front part, and Almera And Sentra (in some countries) is actually the same sedan with different names. To avoid mistakes, pay attention to the following details:

1. Headlights: U Juke “bifurcated” headlights (the upper ones are daytime running lights, the lower ones are the main ones). U Qashqai the headlights are shaped like “eyebrows”.
2. Radiator grille: U Patrol — massive chrome grille with vertical slats. U Murano — “floating” grille without frame.
3. Rear: U X-Trail the taillights rise onto pillars, and Rogue (American version X-Trail) they are horizontal.

To quickly identify the model, you can use VIN code. The first 3 characters indicate the manufacturer and model. For example:

• JN1 — Qashqai (made in UK).
• JN8 — Patrol (Japan).
• 3N1 — Almera (assembly in Russia).

Study the shape of the headlights (round, oval, bifurcated)

Look at the radiator grille (chrome, plastic, vertical/horizontal slats)

Pay attention to the rear lights (shape, location)

Check for branded elements (eg logo on wheel covers) -->
