New Nissan Cars at Vertu
The Nissan Qashqai holds a title few UK rivals can claim: it's the nation's best-selling British-built car. It's also one of the country's favourite models outright, finishing third overall for the whole of 2025 with 41,141 registrations and sitting fourth for the first half of 2026. That success is built close to home. Qashqai rolls off the line at Nissan's Sunderland plant alongside the Juke and LEAF, a factory that has turned out a new car roughly every two minutes since 1986 and now employs around 6,000 people.
That heritage sits alongside a genuinely modern Nissan range. From the all-electric Micra and LEAF through to the family-favourite Qashqai, the practical X-Trail, the compact Juke and the flagship Ariya, six models make up the range. Between them they cover most needs a UK driver could have, whether you want a pure electric city car or a seven-seat family SUV. Every Nissan car for sale at Vertu pairs that manufacturing pedigree with technology built for how you actually drive, whether that's a daily commute or a longer family trip. At Vertu, our colleagues can talk you through the full new Nissan range and help you find the right car for your budget and daily drive.
What Are Nissan Cars Like to Drive?
The types of Nissan cars on sale in the UK split into five distinct groups, so the right choice comes down to how and where you drive.
Electric City & Family Cars
The Micra is Nissan's small electric city car, offered with a 40kWh battery returning up to 196 miles WLTP or a 52kWh battery reaching up to 257 miles. Vehicle-to-Load comes as standard on both, letting you power tools or camping equipment straight from the car's own battery, a properly useful touch for a car this size.
The LEAF goes further again. Choose the 52kWh battery for up to 280 miles WLTP, or the 75kWh battery for up to 387 miles, the longest range of any current Nissan. First launched in 2010 as one of the world's first mainstream electric cars, the LEAF still leads the very market it helped create.
Compact Crossover
Prefer something with more attitude? Juke gives you a choice of straightforward turbocharged petrol or Full Hybrid power in Nissan's compact crossover. The 1.0-litre DIG-T petrol produces 114PS and returns up to 48.7mpg with the manual gearbox. The Full Hybrid pairs a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for 143PS combined and up to 60.1mpg, dropping into electric-only EV Mode for short trips around town.
Family SUVs
With Qashqai, you're choosing between Mild Hybrid petrol power and the e-POWER hybrid system explained below, with the same five-strong trim ladder across both. The e-POWER version brings CO2 emissions down to as little as 98g/km, a real pull for company car drivers.
X-Trail steps up in size, built exclusively around e-POWER and available with e-4ORCE all-wheel drive. Choosing e-4ORCE unlocks a seven-seat layout alongside the standard five, with drive modes covering everything from everyday commuting to snow and off-road conditions.
Premium Electric SUV
Ariya is Nissan's flagship electric crossover, offered with a 63kWh battery for up to 250 miles WLTP or an 87kWh battery reaching up to 329 miles. e-4ORCE all-wheel drive is also available, so you get confident traction whatever the weather. At the top of the range sits the NISMO, a 435PS performance flagship that reaches 62mph in five seconds.
What Is Nissan e-POWER?
e-POWER is Nissan's series hybrid system, fitted across the Qashqai and X-Trail ranges, and it works differently to a conventional hybrid. The petrol engine never drives the wheels directly. Instead, it acts purely as a generator, charging a battery that powers an electric motor, so every mile is driven electrically. The result is an EV-like response and near-silent running, without ever needing to plug in.
Nissan Interior and Technology
Every current Nissan shares a consistent approach to safety and connectivity, whichever model you choose. ProPILOT forms part of the safety suite on Ariya, Qashqai e-POWER, X-Trail and LEAF, combining intelligent cruise control with lane-centring support so motorway miles feel less tiring. NissanConnect puts Google built-in on most models, so you get Google Maps, Google Assistant and Google Play right there in the dashboard. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come alongside, so your phone connects the moment you get in.
Higher trims add further reassurance behind the wheel, from Intelligent Around View Monitor's 360-degree parking camera to Firmware Over The Air updates that keep your car's software current without a dealership visit. On the electric range, Micra and LEAF both come with Vehicle-to-Load as standard, turning the battery into a portable power source when you need one.
Comfort touches carry through the range too. Heated front seats and steering wheels feature widely from mid-range trims upward, while premium audio arrives via the Bose Premium 10-speaker system on Ariya, Qashqai and X-Trail's higher grades, or Harman Kardon on Micra Evolve. Ambient lighting is there too, on Ariya and Qashqai alike, so you can set the cabin mood to suit the drive.

New Nissan UK Vehicles - Frequently Asked Questions
Which Nissan Models Are Available with Seven Seats?
Nissan's seven-seat option comes on the X-Trail, available with e-4ORCE all-wheel drive alongside the standard five-seat layout. It's currently the only model in the Nissan range offering a third row, giving larger families real room to grow into without needing to look at another brand.
What Is Nissan's Best-Selling Model in the UK?
The Qashqai is Nissan's best-selling model in the UK, finishing third overall among all UK car sales for 2025 with 41,141 registrations and sitting fourth for the first half of 2026. It also holds the title of the UK's best-selling British-built car, manufactured at Nissan's Sunderland plant.
Where Are Nissan Cars Made?
Qashqai, Juke and LEAF are all built at Nissan's Sunderland plant, the UK's largest car factory, which has turned out a new car roughly every two minutes since production began in 1986. Around 6,000 people work at the plant, which now builds an electrified version of every model on its line.
Does Nissan Make Electric Cars?
Yes. Nissan's current UK electric range spans the Micra city car, the LEAF hatchback and the Ariya crossover, with WLTP ranges from 196 miles on the entry Micra up to 387 miles on the longest-range LEAF. Micra and LEAF both come with Vehicle-to-Load, letting the battery power external devices.
Is There a Nissan Dealership Near Me?
Vertu operates 13 Nissan dealerships across the UK, from Bradford and Sheffield in the north to Northampton and Tamworth further south. That makes it straightforward to see the current range in person or book an appointment nearby. Full details for each dealership are linked below.
We have dealerships including: Bradford, Chesterfield, Darlington, Derby, Glasgow Central, Glasgow South, Halifax, Ilkeston, Northampton, Sheffield, Stockton, Tamworth, and Widnes.
What Warranty Does a New Nissan Come With?
Every new Nissan comes with a warranty of 3 years or 60,000 miles as standard, whichever limit you reach first. Electric models add further battery cover of 8 years or 100,000 miles, backed by a 12-year anti-corrosion warranty, whichever Nissan you choose.
What's the Difference Between a Nissan Hybrid and Nissan e-POWER?
A Nissan Full Hybrid, fitted to the Juke, pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor and never needs plugging in. Nissan's e-POWER, found on Qashqai and X-Trail, uses its petrol engine purely as a generator, so the wheels are driven by the electric motor alone, giving an EV-like drive without a plug.
Which Is the Best Affordable Electric Nissan to Buy?
The Micra is Nissan's most accessible route into electric driving, with a 40kWh battery returning up to 196 miles WLTP. Vehicle-to-Load comes as standard, letting the battery power tools or devices, a practical touch not always found at this end of the electric car market.
Which Nissan Is Best for a Family?
Families needing maximum seating should look at the X-Trail, the only Nissan offering seven seats via its e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive variant. For five-seat family SUV needs, Qashqai offers a similar footprint with a choice of Mild Hybrid or e-POWER engines and a boot of up to 504 litres.
What Is the Best Nissan Car to Buy?
The best Nissan for you depends on how you drive. City drivers and EV newcomers suit the Micra, families wanting maximum space suit the X-Trail, and anyone wanting an EV-like drive without plugging in should look at Qashqai or X-Trail's e-POWER option. Our colleagues can talk you through the full range to find the right fit.
