Choosing the right Nissan at Hilltop Nissan in East Hanover, NJ

Choosing the Right Nissan

For larger families, the three-row Nissan Pathfinder adds seating flexibility and up to 6,000 pounds of towing capability when properly equipped. Families who only need two rows often compare the Nissan Rogue and Nissan Murano, which balance passenger comfort, cargo room and family-friendly technology.


Commuters heading out on Route 10, I-287 or I-280 often choose the Nissan Rogue for its comfortable ride, available all-wheel drive and practical cargo area. The compact Nissan Kicks and the Nissan Sentra sedan are efficient, easy-to-park options for drivers who want to keep costs down.


The full-size Nissan Armada offers the most cargo space in the Nissan SUV lineup. The Pathfinder provides generous room in a three-row midsize package, and the Rogue is a smart pick for shoppers who want flexible space in a compact SUV.


The Nissan Armada has the highest towing capacity of any current Nissan SUV, and the Pathfinder can tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. Shoppers who prefer a pickup can look at the Nissan Frontier for hauling gear, small trailers or work equipment.


The Nissan Frontier PRO-4X is designed for drivers who want added off-road capability in a midsize pickup. On the SUV side, the Rogue Rock Creek adds rugged styling and capability-focused equipment for weekend trips beyond the pavement.


Fuel economy varies by model and powertrain, but the Sentra, Kicks and Rogue are among the most efficient gas models in the lineup. Drivers who want to use less fuel can also consider Nissan's electrified models, including the all-electric Nissan LEAF.


Yes. Nissan's electrified lineup includes the all-electric Nissan LEAF and the Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid, and Nissan has introduced a Rogue Hybrid for the 2027 model year. Ask Hilltop Nissan about current availability of each electrified model.


All-wheel drive is available or standard on several Nissan SUVs, including the Kicks, Rogue, Murano and Pathfinder, depending on the trim. All-wheel drive adds traction and confidence during Morris County winters and on wet roads.
