Nissan Ranked #1 in New-Vehicle Quality—and We’re Proud to Share the News

Big news in the auto world—Nissan has officially been ranked #1 for New-Vehicle Quality among all mainstream brands in the 2025 J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality Study. That’s not just some flashy headline—it’s a huge moment for our team, our vehicles, and most importantly, for drivers like you. This award is based on real feedback from thousands of vehicle owners who’ve had their new rides for about 90 days. It looks at how often problems pop up, how satisfied people are with their purchase, and how well everything is holding up early on. The fact that Nissan topped the charts means drivers are having fewer issues and better experiences overall—and that’s something worth celebrating.

Altima and Sentra Steal the Spotlight

Two of Nissan’s most popular sedans, the Altima and Sentra, were major players in this win. They both ranked highest in their respective segments, showing off what Nissan does best: reliable, smooth-driving cars that blend performance with practicality. Whether you’re commuting through the city or heading out on a weekend trip, these vehicles are proving they’ve got what it takes.

It’s Not Just About the Trophy—It’s About the Standard

We all know awards are great. But what makes this one special is that it reflects the quality we’ve been building into every Nissan vehicle for years. This ranking is the result of tireless engineering, customer feedback, and real-world testing. From smart safety features to powerful-yet-efficient drivetrains, Nissan has focused on creating vehicles that stand up to real life—not just showroom conditions.
