Once known simply as Music City, our town of Nashville is today one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. Nashville has some of the top universities, is a hub of major industries, and is also a great place to raise a family. With a broad lineup of great cars, trucks, crossovers, and SUVs, Nissan offers drivers the choices they need to find a vehicle that fits their lifestyle perfectly. Whether you’re a young professional living in Germantown, a suburban parent in Oak Hill, or a student at one of Nashville’s universities, you will find plenty of Nissans that are perfect for Nashville Drivers at your local Nashville Nissan Dealer.

Each Nissan vehicle was designed with a different lifestyle in mind so that you can find the Nissan that fits your needs while exceeding your expectations. What’s more, each Nissan car, truck, crossover, and SUV comes equipped with Safety Shield 360, making Nissan vehicles some of the safest for you and your passengers, from the compact Versa and Kicks all the way to the full-size Armada and Titan XD. At Newtown Nissan of Gallatin, our dedicated salespeople are standing by, ready to help you find your next Nissan vehicle at a price that works for you. We are your Nashville Nissan Dealer, proudly serving all the drivers in this great city that we call home. Here are five of our favorite Nissan models that are perfect for the Nashville driver.

#1. 2021 Nissan Rogue

If you live in Germantown, Sobrino, or Downtown, or just love to visit these fun places in town, then the 2021 Nissan Rogue is the perfect compact SUV for you. The Rogue is easy to handle and can fit into the tightest spaces, yet its interior is roomy enough for five passengers to stretch out no matter where you are driving. Even better, it has been completely redesigned for 2021, with an improved engine, more trunk space, and advanced technology.

The 2021 Rogue runs on a 2.5-liter I-4 gas engine with an Xtronic CVT transmission with Manual Mode. CVT stands for continuously variable transmission. Instead of set gear speeds, a CVT will automatically adjust its gear ratio to current driving conditions, improving overall efficiency. This is why the 2.5-liter engine can produce 181 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque while delivering 27 MPG in city driving and 35 MPG on the highway when the Rogue is equipped with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is an available option.

As you can see, you can cruise all around town without burning up too much gas. The Rogue’s trunk is also bigger than the previous model, with a full 36.5 cubic feet of cargo space that expands to 74.1 cubic feet with the rear seat folded down. The 2021 Nissan Rogue has a base MSRP of $25,650, making it affordable for any budget.

#2. 2020 Nissan Versa

If you are a student at Vanderbilt, Fisk, Belmont, Tennessee State, or any of the other fine institutions in Nashville, then the Nissan Versa is the subcompact for you. With an MSRP of just $14,830, the 2020 Versa is incredibly affordable – especially for folks living on a student budget. It runs on a 1.6-liter DOHC 4-cylinder gas engine with your choice of a 5-speed manual transmission or an Xtronic CVT. The front-wheel drive Versa also gets a great fuel economy of 32 MPG in city driving and 40 MPG on the highway with the CVT transmission. For concerned parents, please note that the Nissan Versa was redesigned for 2020, earning it a top 5-star rating by the National Highway Transportation Safety Association (NHTSA).

#3. 2020 Nissan Pathfinder

Drivers in Hermitage, Belle Meade, Oak Hill, and right here in Gallatin are often in need of extra space for the kids, the family dog, and all the stuff that goes along with running a household in the Nashville suburbs. The Nissan Pathfinder allows you to carry up to 7 passengers and plenty of cargo in comfort and style. This three-row SUV is designed with the suburban driver in mind, providing a great combination of performance and fuel economy. The Pathfinder gives you incomparable room for a three-row midsize SUV with up to 79.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the second and third rows of seats folded down.

The Pathfinder has a standard 3.5-liter direct injection DOHC V-6 gas engine paired with an Xtronic CVT transmission to provide 284 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque. This will give you the power to tow up to 6,000 lbs while providing exceptional acceleration off the line. It also won’t hurt you at the pump, as the Pathfinder is rated to provide an estimated 20 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway. You can also choose between standard front-wheel drive or optional 4-wheel drive for greater traction. With an MSRP starting at $31,600 and great fuel economy, the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder will provide you with the ultimate suburban SUV that won’t bust your budget.

The optional engine is a sporty 2.0-liter Variable Compression Turbo DOHC 4-cylinder that gives you up to 248 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. Even with all this available power, the Altima is considered one of the safest midsize sedans on the road and was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), including a Superior rating for its standard front crash prevention systems. The 2020 Nissan Altima has a base MSRP of $24,100, which is incredibly affordable for a car that has so much to offer.

#5. 2021 Nissan Titan XD

Who doesn’t love a truck? Here in Nashville, we are living at the epicenter of pickup truck culture, which goes hand-in-hand with our love of Country Music.
