Nissan Rises in Quality Rankings

The J.D. Power Initial Quality Study evaluates vehicle quality based on responses from buyers and lessees during the first 90 days of ownership. Participants report on 227 potential issues across ten categories: infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; climate; and unspecified (unique to repair). This year’s study also includes data from franchised dealership repair visits for the first time.

The 2024 Nissan Murano has been recognised as the best in initial quality among midsize SUVs for five consecutive years. Additionally, the 2024 Sentra and 2024 Altima ranked second overall in their segments, while the 2024 Frontier secured third place in its category for initial quality.

It features a powerful 260-horsepower 3.5-litre V6 engine that enhances the driving experience.
