A Look at Different Types of Nissan Cars

 

When you visit our showroom, you'll see a number of different types of Nissan cars. Nissan vehicles don't just differ based on their respective names, colors, and models. They also differ based on their body styles. With different body styles available on our lot, you might be wondering which is the best choice for you.

Sedans

Sedans like the Nissan Altima and the Nissan Sentra were the body style of choice for families for generations. In general, sedans have seating for four or five people across two rows. Rather than having a cargo hold behind their second row, sedans have a closed trunk. 

Many motorists feel sedans are easier to drive compared to SUVs and crossovers because they're not as top-heavy and, in some cases, they're not as long or wide.

SUVs and Crossovers

Whether you're looking for new Nissan cars for sale or you're interested in one of our pre-owned Nissan vehicles, you're going to see Nissan SUVs and crossovers when you visit Tom Wood Nissan. Compared to sedans, SUVs and crossovers have a higher driving position and, often, more seating room. Crossovers and SUVs typically have more cargo room than sedans, too, with their cargo holds located behind the last row of seats.

Nissan SUVs and crossovers often have engines that are more powerful than the ones you'll find in sedans, which makes them more capable by comparison. Historically, SUVs have been made with a body-on-frame platform, while crossovers are manufactured with a unibody style. 

It's more common to see four-wheel drive on SUVs while crossovers are readily available with all-wheel drive.

 

Which Body Style Is Best for You?

Choosing between sedans, SUVs, and crossovers can be a challenge for some drivers. All three body styles have their benefits and drawbacks. Some of those advantages and disadvantages overlap, which only makes the decision harder. For example, all three body styles are family-oriented and they're all smart picks for people who rideshare.
