Nissan turned up early to the SUV party, with its Qashqai paving the way for the countless models we see today. The Qashqai continues to sell in big numbers in the UK, too, and was also our overall Car of the Year in 2014.

Don’t think Nissan is just about SUVs, though. As well as the Qashqai, the smaller Juke and the larger X-Trail, the Japanese brand has the Micra hatchback, GT-R sports car and Navara pick-up truck.

Nissan was also one of the first big car makers to launch a fully electric car, with its latest Leaf being one of the best on the market.

Despite being based in Japan, Nissan has long committed to building cars in the UK, making several of its best-selling models at a huge factory in Sunderland.

NOTE

Nissan's Note supermini is now available with a 102bhp 1.5-litre diesel engine. The engine powers the car from 0-62mph in 11.1secs and has a top speed of 112mph. It averages 55.4mpg and emits 136g/km of carbon dioxide. A particulate filter cuts out sooty emissions, too. In addition, Nissan has revealed a new special edition called the Acenta S, which sits between Acenta and the range-topping Tekna.

Costing 400 more than the Acenta, extra features include climate control, a 6CD player with MP3 connectivity, automatic headlamps and wipers, and an intelligent key system, which automatically locks and unlocks the car as you leave or approach it.
