Legendary Nissan models: rarities and iconic cars

Over decades of history Nissan produced several cars that have become icons of the auto industry. These models were not just in demand - they shaped trends and set standards in their segments. Here TOP-5 most famous:

  1. Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32-R34) - "Godzilla", which dominated racing in the 1990s thanks to its all-wheel drive system ATTESA E-TS and turbocharged engine RB26DETT.
  2. Nissan 300ZX (Z32) - sports coupe with a unique twin-turbo V6 (VG30DETT), which is still prized by collectors.
  3. Nissan Patrol (Y61) - an SUV that has become the basis for armored vehicles and military modifications in 50+ countries.
  4. Nissan Silvia (S13-S15) - a rear-wheel drive coupe, famous in drifting thanks to its perfectly balanced suspension.
  5. Nissan Leaf (ZE0) - the first mass-produced electric car (debuted in 2010).

Many of these models are now worth many times their original price. For example, Skyline GT-R R34 in perfect condition at auctions goes for $200 000+, and rare versions 300ZX Twin Turbo are valued at $50 000–$80 000. At the same time, some rarities, like Nissan Pulsar GTi-R (RNN14) with turbo engine SR20DET, still remain underestimated - they can be found for $15 000–$25 000.

Why is the Nissan Skyline banned in the US?

Initially, the R32 Skyline GT-R was not certified for the American market due to non-compliance with safety standards (no passenger airbag). Later, in 1999, a “25-year law” was introduced, allowing the import of such cars as “classic” ones. Today, models up to 1996 can be legally imported, but the R33 and R34 are still officially banned.

Interesting fact: Nissan often “resurrected” legendary names. For example, GT-R returned in 2007 as a stand-alone model (not a version Skyline), and the name Z reappeared in 2022 with the debut Nissan Z (RZ34) - spiritual heir 370Z. At the same time, some iconic models, like 240SX or 300ZX, have not yet received a sequel, despite numerous rumors.

Classification of Nissan models by body type

To systematize the extensive model range, it is most logical to divide the cars Nissan by body type. This will help you quickly navigate the range and choose the best option for your needs - be it a family sedan or an off-road SUV.

Body type Popular models Features Price range (new, Russia)
Sedan Almera, Sentra, Teana, Maxima Front- or all-wheel drive, 1.6–3.5 l engines, automatic transmission/variator 1.5–4.5 million RUB
Hatchback Micra, Note, Juke, Pulsar Compact dimensions, economical engines 1.0–1.6 l, often with a turbine 1.2–2.8 million RUB
SUV/SUV Qashqai, X-Trail, Murano, Patrol From SUVs to frame SUVs, diesels/petrol, 4WD 2.5–12 million RUR
Pickup Navara, NP300, Frontier Frame design, diesel engines 2.3–2.5 l, load capacity 1–1.5 t 3–5.5 million RUB
Sports GT-R, 370Z, Z (RZ34) Rear/all-wheel drive, engines 3.0–3.8 l, 300–600 hp. 5–15 million ₽

It is worth noting that Nissan actively experimenting with alternative body types. For example, a minivan is sold in Japan Serena with a hybrid installation, and the concept was presented in Europe Nissan Townpod — a compact electric vehicle for urban logistics. Separate category - kei cars (For example, Nissan Roox), which due to their small size and motors up to 660 cm³ are in demand only in the domestic Japanese market.

💡

When choosing between a sedan and a hatchback from Nissan pay attention to Almera And Pulsar - they are built on the same platform B0, but differ in the trunk: in a sedan 500 l, for the hatchback - 385 l (but with the ability to fold the rear seats).

How Nissan model names are deciphered

Many car names Nissan have deep meaning or historical roots. Having understood their origin, it is easier to remember the line and understand the brand philosophy. Here are some examples:

  • 🌿 Leaf (from English “leaf”) - symbolizes the environmental friendliness of an electric car.
  • 🏔️ Patrol - from the word "patrol" (watch), emphasizes off-road capabilities.
  • ☁️ Skyline - “horizon line”, reflects the desire for speed and freedom.
  • 🌊 Murano - named after the Italian islands of Murano, famous for glassblowing (emphasis on design).
  • ⚡ GT-R — "Gran Turismo Racer", a legacy of racing traditions.

Some models are named after geographical objects:

- Qashqai - a tribe in Iran that symbolizes freedom and adventure.

- X-Trail - pun "cross trail", later renamed to Rogue in the USA.

- Terrano - from the Italian "terreno" (territory, area).

Interestingly, in different regions the same model can be sold under different names. For example:

- Nissan Almera in Mexico it's called Nissan Tsuru.

- Nissan Qashqai in Australia - Nissan Dualis.

- Nissan X-Trail in the USA - Nissan Rogue.

💡

If you see an unfamiliar model name Nissan, check it by VIN or body number (for example, T32 for X-Trail first generation). This will help avoid confusion with regional renames.

Comparison of key models: what to choose in 2026

To make it easier to choose among current offers Nissan, we compared four most popular models according to key parameters. All prices are for basic configurations in Russia (as of June 2026).

Model Body type Engine Fuel consumption (combined) Price, RUB million Better for...
Qashqai Crossover 1.3 Turbo (140/160 hp) 6.5–7.2 l/100 km 2,6–3,8 Cities, families, daily trips
X-Trail SUV 2.5 (184 hp) or hybrid 1.5+electro 7.8–8.5 l/100 km (petrol) 3,5–5,2 Long trips, off-road (AWD)
Almera Sedan 1.6 (114 hp) 6.2–6.8 l/100 km 1,5–2,1 Budget family car
Ariya Electric SUV Electric (218–394 hp), 63/87 kWh battery — (power reserve 360–500 km) 4,8–6,5 Eco-driving, city, techno-enthusiasts

When choosing between Qashqai And X-Trail focus on needs:

- Qashqai more compact (length 4.4 m against 4.7 m at X-Trail), more maneuverable in the city and cheaper to maintain.

- X-Trail offers 7 seats (optional), all-wheel drive with differential lock and higher ground clearance (210 mm vs 190 mm).

For the budget segment Almera remains the best choice in terms of price/quality ratio, especially taking into account local assembly.

Check for a hybrid version (for example, Qashqai e-POWER)

Compare warranty (for electric vehicles) Ariya - 8 years for battery)

Specify the equipment (in the basic Almera no climate control)

Rare and limited Nissan models: what collectors should know

In addition to production cars, Nissan released (and continues to release) limited editions special versions. These models are of interest to collectors and enthusiasts due to their unique technical solutions or design. Here are the most notable:

  • 🏁 Nissan GT-R Nismo (2014–present) — “charged” version with a motor 3.8 VR38DETT (600 hp), aero kit and suspension from the racing program.
  • ⚡ Nissan Leaf Nismo RC (2018) - an electric prototype for the track with two motors (322 hp) and a carbon fiber body.
  • 🏜️ Nissan Patrol Super Safari (1980s) - SUV with an extended wheelbase and diesel engine SD33, built for desert racing.
  • 🎨 Nissan Juke-R (2011) - hatchback Juke with heart GT-R (motor VR38DETT, 485 hp). Only 23 copies were produced.
  • 🚀 Nissan 400Z Proto (2021) - concept that preceded the serial Z (RZ34). It featured retro headlights and two-tone paint.

Prices for such models vary from $50 000 for Juke-R to $200 000+ for rare GT-R Nismo or Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Nur. Moreover, some limited editions, like Nissan 370Z Nismo Tech (2020, 100 copies for Europe), can be found at a price close to the production versions - approx. $40 000.

💡

Before buying a rare Nissan check his history through the service Nissan Heritage Parts (heritage.nissan-global.com). There you can find out the original equipment and even order parts that have long been discontinued.

They stand apart concept cars, which never went into production, but influenced the design of production models:

- Nissan IDx Freeflow/Nismo (2013) - a prototype of a compact coupe with retro style.

- Nissan Ariya Concept (2019) - the predecessor of the serial electric crossover.

- Nissan IMx Kuro (2018) - concept with autonomous driving and battery 115 kWh.

The future of Nissan: what models are expected in 2026-2026

According to strategy Nissan Ambition 2030, by the end of the decade the brand plans to release 23 new models, of which 15 will be electrified. Here's what we know today:

  • 🔋 Nissan Hyper Force (2026) - flagship electric car with motors with total power 1000+ hp and power reserve 500+ km.
  • 🚗 Nissan Micra EV (2026) - electric version of the popular hatchback on the platform CMF-BEV (with Renault).
  • 🏜️ Nissan X-Trail Hybrid (2026) - hybrid version with system e-POWER and consumption 5.5 l/100 km.
  • 🛻 Nissan Navara EV (2026) - the brand's first electric pickup truck with a battery 120 kWh.
  • 🏁 Nissan GT-R Successor (2027?) - successor to the legendary GT-R with hybrid installation (expected power 700+ hp).

Key technologies that Nissan will implement:

- e-POWER: plug-in hybrid system (as on Qashqai), where the internal combustion engine operates only as a generator.

- ProPILOT 3.0: Level 2+ autopilot with driver-less lane change support.

- Solid State Batteries: promised to debut by 2028 with an energy density 2 times higher than lithium-ion.

I wonder what Nissan does not abandon hydrogen technologies: tests began in 2026 Nissan X-Trail FCV with fuel cells (power reserve 600+ km). However, serial production of such models is expected no earlier than 2030.

💡

If you are planning to buy a new one Nissan in the next 2–3 years, pay attention to models with the system e-POWER. They combine the advantages of an electric vehicle (smooth acceleration, low consumption) without the need to charge the battery from an outlet.
