Qash and Carry – 2023 Nissan Qashqai Ti-L ePOWER Review
Its hard to believe the Nissan Qashqai has been with us for almost 20 years. This mainstay of the Nissan SUV lineup has been a firm favourite, but now it ventures into its third generation. There have been significant upgrades both in tech and in powertrain, particularly on the economy front. The new Qashqai is […]
Face-leafted – 2023 Nissan Leaf review
It was a mere decade or so ago (12-years in fact) when the all-electric Nissan Leaf first began production and it’s fair to say that with global sales exceeding 600,000 units, it’s been popular. In 2017, it was given a whole new look (and arguably a gen 2 moniker) and this year it’s been spruced […]
Simply Zee best – All-new Nissan Z review
The Nissan Z started out life as a 6-cylinder, 2-seater sports coupe way back in the ‘70s. Six generations and half a century later there’s a new Z in town, and although it may have dropped its numerology, I’m happy to say that it’s still a 6-cylinder, 2-seater sports coupe – and we got to […]
2023 Nissan X-Trail e-Power e-4ORCE – a petrol-powered EV

Oh Captain, my captain – all-new Nissan Pathfinder TiL review
O Captain! my Captain! is a poem by Walt Whitman and featured in Dead Poets Society as a thank you to Robin Williams. However, it should now also be a tribute to the all-new Nissan Pathfinder TiL, as not only do you feel at the helm of a luxurious yacht when driving this modernised SUV, […]
Bigger, bolder best-seller – 4th Generation Nissan X-Trail TiL review
With three generations already securely under its belt, the Nissan X-Trail has become one of (if not the) best selling SUVs in the world and its popularity is not exactly hard to see – I mean, take a look at any carpark in NZ and you’ll probably spot one (after all, Nissan has sold over […]
4ORCE Majeure – all-new Nissan X-Trail with e-Power and e-4ORCE first drive
We were invited to Slovenia, the ‘green heart of Europe’ to check out Nissan’s all-new, 4th generation X-Trail, with its new unique ‘hybrid-electric’ powertrain and e-4ORCE AWD system. It is an adventurous combination that delivers an ‘EV-like’ driving experience on all terrains, without the need to plug in. With over 21,000 units already gracing NZ […]
