Nissan Diesel Cars
Remember the clunky clatter of old diesel engines? Those days are a distant memory. At Group1 Nissan, we’re proud to offer Nissan diesel cars that are as refined as they are powerful.
Gone are the days when Nissan diesel motors were the sole domain of work trucks and farms. Modern Nissan diesel engine technology, with its advanced turbochargers, delivers impressive power and torque that even rivals petrol engines. Experience the thrill of acceleration and the confidence of towing heavy loads, all while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency in your new Nissan diesel car.
Nissan diesel engines are renowned for their durability. They’re engineered to handle tough conditions and conquer long journeys. The heavier construction of a Nissan diesel engine translates to a vehicle with exceptional towing capacity, perfect for those weekend adventures with a trailer or caravan in tow.
Diesel fuel also packs more energy per litre compared to petrol. This translates to impressive fuel economy, especially on long highway trips. So, fill up less often and spend more time enjoying the drive with your new Nissan diesel car.
Whether you prioritise power and towing capacity or long-distance fuel efficiency, Nissan offers a variety of diesel cars to suit your needs. Visit our showrooms in Gauteng or the Western Cape, or browse our ranges to discover the perfect Nissan diesel car for your next adventure.
