When you’re browsing dealer lots or scanning classifieds, a clear, compact list makes comparing year-specific models much easier — especially if you’re juggling body styles, fuel economy and price at once.
There are 19 2018 Nissan Car Models, ranging from the 370Z to the Versa. Each entry lists the key specs in columns: Body style,Engine(s) & MPG (city/hwy),Starting MSRP (USD), which you’ll find below.
Which 2018 Nissan should I pick if I want the best fuel economy?
Smaller sedans and compact crossovers tend to lead on MPG — think Versa or the compact Rogue/Sentra range — but check the Engine(s) & MPG (city/hwy) column for exact figures; diesel or turbo options (if present) and larger engines will lower fuel economy compared with base four-cylinders.
How can I use the listed columns to narrow my choices?
Start with Body style to match space needs, then compare Engine(s) & MPG (city/hwy) for running costs and performance, and use Starting MSRP (USD) to set your budget; combine those factors with trim and option notes to pick the best model for your priorities.
