Used Nissan cars for sale or finance at 10.9% APR

Nissan was one of the first carmakers to truly embrace the modern electric car with the launch of the Leaf in 2010. This affordable EV essentially existed in a class of one for several years until the likes of General Motors and Renault launched their own battery-powered models that could compete on price.

The second-generation Leaf improves on its predecessor in nearly every way – offering more passenger room, more boot space, and even more range for the money. Basic 40kWh versions can cover a respectable 168 miles on a full charge, or you can upgrade to a 62kWh variant that can cover more than 230 miles between charges.

Nissan’s reliability scores as a brand are a little all over the place. Publications such as ReliabilityIndex have rated the company as above average for dependability, but others such as Warranty Wise have been more critical, placing it closer to the middle of the table. As ever, maintaining proper servicing intervals is key to ensuring your Nissan lasts as long as possible.

DiG-T is Nissan’s brand name for its petrol engines. These units are downsized and turbocharged compared to the engines they replaced, meaning they return at least the same amount of power with lower fuel consumption. Naming nerds among you might want to know the badge stands for Direct-Injection Gasoline Turbocharged.

Xtronic is Nissan’s name for its automatic gearbox. Xtronic gearboxes are CVT-style autos, which can achieve some very impressive fuel economy figures provided you don’t drive aggressively, but can sound a bit strained if you completely floor the throttle.

ProPilot is the brand name for Nissan’s level-2 semi-autonomous driving features, available on some of its models. Like equivalent semi-autonomous systems, ProPilot is mainly intended for highway use, where you’ll spend long stretches keeping mostly the same speed in the same lane. In these scenarios, ProPilot can control the vehicle’s steering and speed provided it’s satisfied you’re paying attention by holding the steering wheel.

Yes, Nissan is a Japanese company currently headquartered in Nishi-ku, Yokohama. It traces its roots back more than one hundred years and has variously existed under other brand names including Datsun and Prince. ‘Nissan’ sounds very similar to the Japanese words ‘ni’ and ‘san’, which mean two and three so, as a result, Nissan race cars often compete with the number 23 as a small nod to the company. These days, it’s in a manufacturing alliance with Renault and Mitsubishi, meaning models from these three carmakers sometimes share parts.
