When buying a family vehicle, you need something spacious with the technology to help keep everyone safe on the road, which is why a Nissan SUV or car makes so much sense. We discuss just a few of the outstanding family SUV or car options you’ll find at your local Nissan dealership.

1. Nissan Rogue
The Nissan Rogue is the ideal compact SUV for smaller families. This five-seater option may have a small footprint but it defies expectations by offering plenty of room for you and the kids and still having room for a 36.5 cubic-foot cargo area at the rear. When you need additional cargo space, fold down the rear seatback to expand the area to 72.9 cubic feet.
The Rogue’s 201-horsepower 1.5-liter engine and continuously variable transmission make every drive a fun experience. And, to boost confidence and enhance safety, Nissan equips the Rogue with its Safety Shield 360 suite of driver-assist technologies. Standard features include front pedestrian detection, a front and rear collision system, blind-spot warning, and rear parking sensors.
2. Nissan Pathfinder
With three rows of seating to accommodate eight people, the Pathfinder is the perfect SUV for doing the school run or whisking the family off for a weekend getaway. If the 16.6 cubic foot trunk isn’t enough to carry everything you need, hitch up a trailer as this large SUV is capable of towing 6,000 pounds thanks to its 284-horsepower 3.5-liter engine.
Keeping everyone entertained on road trips isn’t a problem as the Pathfinder boasts an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen display with voice recognition, AM/FM/SiriusXM radio, and smartphone compatibility. You can also transform your SUV into a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to seven devices, so all occupants can stay connected and entertain themselves whether cruising the highway or parked up at a campsite.
3. Nissan LEAF
If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, how about the LEAF? Measuring just 176.4 inches in length, this fully electric hatchback comfortably seats a family of five and gives you a very roomy 23.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
The S trim has a 40 kWh battery, giving you a 150-mile range. However, upgrade to the SV Plus and its 60 kWh battery to up the range to 215 miles, which is plenty of juice to get you to New Orleans on a single charge. Each trim comes with a DC fast charge connector to quickly replenish the battery at a service station if needed.
