2021 Nissan Model Overview

Nissan has been going strong since the company opened its doors for business in 1933. The Datsun Type 15 was the first mass-produced Japanese vehicle, and the brand’s distinctive style made waves in the American market when Datsun vehicles were first imported here in the late 1950s. Nissan has gone through many changes since then. Today, when you visit a dealership like the Bloomington Nissan dealer, you’ll discover a great lineup of reliable, well-designed cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. In this article, we’ll look at some of the changes for the 2021 model year.
