ABOUT SHIFT_

A SHIFT_ is both an invitation and a challenge.  A challenge to open your mind to whatever feels unfamiliar. To re-evaluate whatever feels too familiar. And to ask questions different from those everyone else is asking. At Nissan, we're asking these questions every day. The result is a place where design, innovation and performance combine to create a line of vehicles that represent a pure, uncompromising SHIFT_ from the ordinary.

Nissan know that it's not just what you do; it's the way that you do it. So it's not just that the GTR can go very fast indeed; it's the astounding roadholding and amazing handling that makes it the most rewarding car in the world to drive. It's not just that the Murano is powered by one of the most awarded V6 engines in the world; it's the unique advanced transmission that makes it amazingly smooth and economical.

Bland is the enemy. Our designers are told to be bold. And to get a reaction. It shows through in designs that some may love, and some may hate; but nobody can ignore. This philosophy shines through from the city chic of Micra to the futurism of Murano; from the sleek energy of 370Z to the powerful ruggedness of Patrol.

There's always a better way. And Nissan's research and design teams are determined to find it. That's why they've come up with advances as varied as self healing paint; a system that detects and warns you if you start to get drowsy and cruise control that automatically slows down for tight corners. And why they have the objective of being the leader in the global mass marketing of Electric Vehicles, which includes the major market of Australia, click here to find out more.
