About Nissan Canada

  • Nissan Canada is just a small part of a worldwide brand, one found in 191 countries that employs more than 160,000 people. Nissan has been creating and sharing innovative products since 1933 and intends to be more than just an automotive company. Nissan is an innovation company. They take some of the most innovative thinking in the industry and combine it with performance, value, efficiency, safety, and style. The result: cars that thrill you, protect you, and reliably get you where you need to go.

    Nissan Canada’s current model lineup includes the Rogue, Murano, Qashqai, Altima, Armada, Frontier, Titan, Kicks, Maxima, Micra, and 370Z, and GT-R.

    However, Nissan’s diversity extends well past its vehicles. The company prides itself on being at “the intersection of people, transportation, and the environment.” A big reason Nissan Canada is at the forefront of development and innovation is its diversity of backgrounds and perspectives. A motivated team player who has a willingness to go the extra mile to achieve their goals is the hallmark of a Nissan employee. That passion starts in the front office and extends through their manufacturing plants and onto the sales floor at every Nissan dealership in Canada.

Nissan Canada Finance

Nissan Canada Finance (or NCF, as it is often called) specializes in providing Canadian Nissan drivers with flexible financing terms that allow people of all backgrounds and financial histories to drive away in a reliable vehicle they’re going to love. Better yet, NCF uses language that everyone can understand. So, when you finance your vehicle through Nissan Canada, you get an experience that is simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. There are no surprises.

NCF is wholly owned by Nissan Canada, which is important to note because it often allows them to provide better financing terms than you would receive from a third-party financing institution like a bank (where most auto financing comes from). This helps you avoid shopping for finance rates all over town. With Nissan Canada Finance, you know you’re getting the best offer any Nissan dealership can extend to you.

Nissan Canada Finance aids with both financing and leasing:

Financing

NCF’s flexibility allows you to put money down up front to lower your monthly payments, structure your contract from 12 to 84 months, and enjoy competitive finance rates. Remember, NCF often offers rates that are even better than what the banks would extend to you. Your savings through Nissan Canada Finance could be substantial.

Leasing

Leases are available for periods between 12 and 60 months. You can save even more money by pre-paying your lease at the beginning of your contract. Both new and used Nissans (up to 36 months old) are available for leasing, too. You can even put a down payment on your lease to make your payments even smaller.

The Nissan Canada Finance Loyalty Program

The goal of the NCF program is to offer customers a quick, simple, and smooth process that allows them to transition into a Nissan vehicle. That’s why Nissan makes it so easy for current Nissan owners to upgrade to a newer model. If you are the current owner of a 2009-or-newer Nissan vehicle, and you purchased that vehicle through Nissan Canada Finance, you’re eligible for the Nissan Canada Finance Loyalty Program.

Basically, the Loyalty Program is Nissan’s way of saying thank you for being a customer. If you qualify for the program, you’re entitled for as much as a $1000 bonus on your next purchase. This includes some of Nissan’s highest-selling models, like the Rogue, Altima, Maxima, and the Titan.

How You Can Use Your Loyalty Dollars

You can use your loyalty dollars with Nissan Canada to:

  • Reduce the APR (finance percentage) of your new vehicle purchase. Note, the amount of APR reduction will vary by model and other specifics of the lease/finance agreement.
  • Purchase a Nissan Added Security Plan, a comprehensive extended service Plan available for your newly purchased or leased vehicle.
  • Reduce the cost of your new vehicle. Use it as an after-tax deduction from the final negotiated selling price of the new vehicle you’re buying.
  • Off-set your lease/finance payments towards any penalties and/or other amounts associated with ending your current lease/finance contract.

Nissan Canada’s Advantage Program

If you have faced credit challenges in the past or need the opportunity to establish credit for the first time, this program is perfect for you.

Who Can Apply?

The Nissan Advantage Program is available to people (on approved credit) through Nissan Canada who:

  • have faced credit challenges in the past or need the opportunity to establish credit for the first time
  • are interested in purchasing a new or current model year Micra, Versa Note, Sentra, Juke, Altima sedan or Rogue

What are the Program Details?

  • A minimum down payment of $1,500 is required.

    • Work or study permit/visa
    • Diplomat service

Nissan Qashqai Canada

The newest addition to the Nissan Canada vehicle lineup, the Qashqai is a crossover SUV with an incredibly affordable starting point: just $20,198. Plus, it’s extremely fuel efficient, with an 8.6/7.2 highway/city rating. These are numbers you’ll often see on some cars, but almost never SUVs.

When it comes to safety, the Qashqai has taken all precautions. Thanks to its Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies, the Qashqai makes your journey safer while also making it more effortless. The vehicle does most of your work for you, using features like Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist, Standard Intelligent Emergency Braking, Intelligent Around View Monitoring with Moving Object Detection, and more. This all goes along with Nissan’s standard safety features, like an advanced air bag system, brake assist, tire pressure monitoring, and vehicle dynamic control.

But what you’ll notice first is its exterior. It has Nissan Canada’s signature bold look, but in a smaller, urban crossover. Its sleek design speaks more to a sports car than your typical SUV. Its headlights have a dynamic shape inspired by boomerangs, which symbolizes how the vehicle cuts through the air.

Inside, the spacious interior offers generous headroom and legroom for front and back passengers. Meanwhile, heated leather seats keep you comfortable and warm during those brutal Canadian winters. When it comes to buttons and usability, the Qashqai is very intuitive. As are smaller details, like the size and shape of its cupholders (which are designed in a dog bone shape, to better fit phones, cords, snacks and more).

In terms of technology, it has pretty much everything you’re going to need. It is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto friendly, features a nine-speaker Bose sound system, and has NissanConnect Navigation. Not only does it let you find the hole-in-the-wall businesses you’re looking for, but it provides turn-by-turn voice directions to help you navigate any city you’re driving in. If you have an iPhone, you also have access to Siri Eyes-Free, which lets you make calls, send texts, update your calendar, and more, with the touch of a button.

There’s so much to talk about with the Qashqai from Nissan Canada, too much to talk about here. We didn’t even get to the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, or Hill Start Assist, or Dynamic Drive Technologies. But that’s nothing your local Nissan dealer can’t talk about with you in-depth.

Nissan Leaf Canada

The Nissan Leaf is one of the most intriguing cars on the Canadian market and has been for nearly a decade. In 2010, it became the world's first mass-produced 100% electric, zero emission automobile. The following year, it was named the World Car of the Year. The awards haven’t stopped. In the last year, the Leaf was named the AJAC Green Car of the Year, was voted a 2019 Best Buy by The Car Guide, won the 2018 World Green Car Award, and won the CES 2018 Best of Innovation award.

It shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that the Nissan leaf is the world’s best-selling electric vehicle. More than 400,000 Nissan Leafs have been sold worldwide. Owners have collectively driven more than 10 BILLION kilometres in the Leaf, enough to save more than 3.8 million barrels of oil every year.

The Leaf is so good for the environment that government is offering HUGE rebates in order to encourage people to drive the world’s best electric vehicle. Depending on the province in which you live, you could receive a rebate as high as $13,000 (the Leaf starts around $42,000). That’s about 30% off the price of the vehicle.

It’s more than just a fuel-efficient ride, though. It packs a punch. Because it’s a 100% electric vehicle, your acceleration off the line is ridiculous. There’s no wait time. Its low centre of gravity means incredibly tight turns. Plus, it has advanced technologies like an e-pedal, automatic emergency braking, ProPilot Assist, and more. Your daily commute has never been this efficient, or this fun.

Okay, okay, we know what you want to know by this point: since it’s an electric vehicle, how’s the range? Here’s the best new of all. The 2019 Leaf lasts 49% longer than previous models.

With great range, unbelievable value thanks to government rebates, advanced technology, and a brand new look, the Nissan Leaf is primed to dominant the next decade just like it dominated the last.
