Which Vehicle Is Right For You?

As your car-shopping adventure starts, you must first start looking at what type of vehicle you’re most interested in. With multiple body styles on the market, it can seem daunting picking the perfect one for you. When deciding, you must consider a few questions, like:

• Do you have a long-distance commute to work?
• Do you plan on adding new bundles of joy to the family?
• Do you own a camper or boat that you want to tow?
• Do you love off-roading?

While answering all these questions can help you choose between a fuel-efficient sedan or a powerhouse truck, you can also take our Personalized Experience assessment to help you weigh your options.

Your Vehicle Options

What you plan to use your Nissan for can help you choose the perfect ride. Below, we list a few example activities and which vehicle could suit your needs best.

• Truck: If you love camping, need to haul items around your ranch, or own a lawn care business, a truck’s capabilities will greatly benefit your endeavors.
• Sedan: If you’re a work-during-the-week-but-party-on-the-weekend kind of person, the flexibility and savvy technology of a sedan can keep the party going all week long.
• SUV/Crossover: If you love bargain hunting for large home décor pieces, need to help move your baby sister into her first apartment, or want to spend some time on bumpy terrain, an SUV or crossover offers a spacious cabin and rugged capability.
• Electric cars: Do you enjoy long-distance road trips or have a long stretch behind the wheel to get to work? An electric car’s fuel-efficient performance will keep you all smiles for miles.
