1. Nissan Altima

The Nissan Altima has long been a go-to sedan for just about any driver, from college students buying their first car to families upgrading their current set of wheels. Why? It's powerful yet incredibly efficient. Plus, it’s spacious and comfortable on the inside and still compact enough on the outside to easily maneuver on tight city streets.

Most used models come equipped with either the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or the available 3.5L V6 that kicks out 270 horsepower. If you choose a used Altima with the 4-cylinder engine, you’ll enjoy:

• 182 horsepower
• 180 lb-ft of torque
• Xtronic CVT^® (Continuously Variable Transmission)
• EPA-estimated 27 city/38 highway MPG¹

You can also take advantage of some advanced driver-assistance systems on newer models. These features are sure to give you more peace of mind so you can enjoy the ride to the fullest. For example, the available Smart Auto Headlights will automatically switch between high and low beams, allowing you to see everything while still being courteous to other drivers.

2. Nissan Maxima

If you’re looking for a more boisterous sedan, a used Nissan Maxima should do the trick. It comes standard with a 3.5L V6 engine that generates a breathtaking 300 horsepower with most models. Activate Sport Mode to raise the stakes. This feature sharpens the steering and throttle response while enabling Active Sound Enhancement so you can hear that engine roar.

The Maxima is more than just an energetic sport sedan. It’s also packed with premium amenities on the inside that’ll have you thinking you’re behind the wheel of a luxury car. Most model years offer:

• Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control
• Remote Engine Start System with Intelligent Climate Control
• 8-way power driver’s seat
• Climate-controlled front seats
• Heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Premium Ascot leather-appointed seats

The Maxima is also one of the more spacious sedans that you can buy. It offers seating for up to five passengers and provides over 98 cubic feet of passenger volume. There’s also more than 45 inches of front legroom with most model years and another 34 inches of legroom in the back.

3. Nissan Rogue

Your kids will grow up fast. That may be why you’re looking for a family-friendly SUV to enjoy every minute with them. A used Nissan Rogue could be just what you need. It also offers around 39 cubic feet of cargo space and seating for five passengers. If you’re loading up for a gardening project, lower the rear seats to give yourself a whopping 70 cubic feet of space.

You need to have complete confidence that your family SUV will keep everyone protected through every journey. That’s why most used Rogue models offer Nissan Safety Shield^®. This innovated suite of safety features could include:

• Forward Collision Warning
• Blind Spot Warning
• Lane Departure Warning
• Moving Object Detection

The compact size of the Rogue also makes it one of the more efficient used SUVs on the market. The 2.5L 4-cylinder engine—standard with most models—works alongside the Xtronic CVT^® to achieve an EPA-estimated 26 city/33 highway MPG.¹

4. Nissan Pathfinder

You always seem to end up way off the beaten path when you head out for an adventure, right? It happens, and at the helm of a used Nissan Pathfinder, you’ll have all the capability needed to get back home. It’s one of the most audacious SUVs in the Nissan lineup.

The all-terrain abilities of the Pathfinder start with the 3.5L V6 engine. It kicks out 260 horsepower, so you can topple tall obstacles and tow an impressive 5,000 pounds.² You’ll also have the capability of the following off-road performance features:

• All-Mode 4x4-i intuitive 4WD system
• Hill start assist
• Hill descent control
• Dual Flow Path^® shock absorbers

It’s easy to stay connected to the world around you in the Nissan Pathfinder. The infotainment system runs through a 7- or 8-inch touch-screen display with most models. It gives you access to connective technologies like the Bluetooth^® Hands-free Phone System, so you can stream your favorite tunes and make phone calls on the go.

5. Nissan Frontier

Do you need a used truck? The Nissan Frontier can answer the call. Whether you’re starting your very own landscaping outfit, just starting in construction, or simply looking for a tough vehicle for your camping excursions, this is one of the best Nissan models for you.

The Nissan Frontier is available with one of two engines. The first is the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that prioritizes efficiency. If you plan to take charge of towing and hauling, you’ll want to choose a model equipped with the 4.0L V6 engine, which provides:²

• 261 horsepower
• 281 lb-ft of torque
• 1,471-pound payload capacity
• 6,500-pound towing capacity

A used Frontier is always ready to go to work. If you’re hitching up a trailer, the available RearView Monitor will give you a better view, so you can line up the hitch receiver with ease. Newer models may even come with a Rear Sonar System that warns you if you get too close. If you’re packing up the bed instead, the available Utili-track^® Channel System will help keep everything secure.
