Why Drive a Nissan SUV?
SUVs have become a popular choice for drivers throughout New Jersey because they offer a practical combination of passenger space, cargo room, visibility, and versatility. At Empire Nissan of Hillside, we see firsthand how different drivers use their SUVs for everything from daily commuting to family transportation and weekend adventures.
More Passenger and Cargo Space
One of the biggest advantages of an SUV is having additional room for passengers and belongings. Whether you're carrying groceries, sports equipment, luggage, strollers, or other everyday items, an SUV can provide the flexibility you need.
Models such as the Nissan Rogue offer substantial cargo capacity while maintaining a manageable size for everyday driving. If you need even more room, the three-row Nissan Pathfinder can accommodate up to seven or eight passengers depending on configuration and offers plenty of cargo volume.
Comfortable Everyday Driving
A Nissan SUV can be a great choice for commuting, running errands, taking the kids to school, or traveling throughout Union County. The elevated seating position can provide a commanding view of the road, while available technology and driver-assistance features can make everyday driving more convenient.
Many 2026 Nissan SUVs are equipped with Nissan Safety Shield 360, which includes features such as Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, and Rear Automatic Braking.
Available All-Wheel Drive
New Jersey weather can change quickly, making available all-wheel drive an appealing option for many local drivers. Depending on the model and trim, Nissan offers available or standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive on several SUVs, including the Kicks and Rogue, while the Murano comes with All-Wheel Drive standard for 2026.
All-wheel drive can provide additional traction when road conditions are less than ideal. Of course, drivers should always adjust their speed and driving habits to match weather and road conditions.
Versatility for Work and Play
An SUV doesn't have to be limited to commuting. Depending on the model, a Nissan SUV can be ready for road trips, outdoor activities, family vacations, and towing.
The Nissan Pathfinder, for example, provides three-row seating and can tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. For drivers who need even more capability, the full-size Nissan Armada offers a powerful twin-turbo V6 and available four-wheel drive.
