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.

X-TRAIL

The Nissan X-Trail is a big SUV designed with space and versatility in mind – and that makes it a compelling choice for family motoring.What Car? reader Alison Williams and her husband have two grown children at home in Burnley, Lancashire. She needs a family car that can cope with four grown-ups and their luggage for holiday road-trips, and journeys taking her daughter – and all her worldly possessions – back and forth to university.As Alison is in the market for a new car, she was quick to volunteer when Nissan offered a select number of What Car? readers the chance to try an X-Trail for a week. Alison was asked to keep a video diary of her experiences. To see what happened, watch this video.

The X-Trail’s large interior easily met the needs of Alison and her family, and she was also impressed with the car’s build quality and features. “It’s fitted really well into my life,” said Alison at the end of her seven-day test. “I’d really like to get one. It’s on the shortlist, if not at the very top.”
