Location and Hours


Where is South Colorado Springs Nissan located?+
South Colorado Springs Nissan is located at 1333 S. Academy Blvd., Colorado Springs, CO 80916. The dealership’s contact page lists current sales, service, and parts hours along with directions.
Does South Colorado Springs Nissan offer test drives, and can I schedule one online?+
Yes. South Colorado Springs Nissan allows shoppers to browse the current inventory and request a test drive online. If you are interested in a specific model, trim, or drivetrain, contact the dealership in advance so the team can confirm availability before your visit.

Models and Features


What Nissan models does South Colorado Springs Nissan carry?+
The dealership’s current model research and incentives pages feature vehicles such as the Altima, Sentra, Versa, Kicks, Rogue, Rogue Plug-in Hybrid, Murano, Pathfinder, Armada, Frontier, Z, and the redesigned LEAF. Availability changes as vehicles arrive and sell, so browse the current new Nissan inventory for the models and configurations presently in stock.
What is the difference between the Nissan Rogue and the Nissan Pathfinder?+
The Rogue is a compact two-row SUV with seating for five and a smaller footprint suited to everyday commuting. The Pathfinder is a larger three-row SUV with seating for up to eight and a maximum towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped.

The Rogue may be the better fit if you prioritize easier maneuverability and do not need a third row. The Pathfinder is the stronger choice when you regularly carry more passengers, need additional interior flexibility, or plan to tow.
Is the Nissan Frontier a good choice for work and recreational towing?+
The Frontier is Nissan’s current midsize pickup and is available in King Cab and Crew Cab configurations with available four-wheel drive. Depending on configuration, the 2026 Frontier can tow up to 7,150 pounds and carry a payload of up to 1,590 pounds when properly equipped.

It can be a practical choice for jobsite equipment, recreational trailers, outdoor gear, and mountain trips without requiring the size of a full-size truck. Check the exact towing and payload ratings of the cab, bed, drivetrain, and trim you are considering.
Does South Colorado Springs Nissan carry the Nissan LEAF, and how does EV range work in Colorado?+
South Colorado Springs Nissan currently features the redesigned 2026 Nissan LEAF, which is now a fully electric crossover-style vehicle. Certain configurations provide an EPA-estimated range of up to 303 miles, and the built-in NACS fast-charging port provides access to compatible Tesla Superchargers and other supported charging networks.

Colorado Springs elevation does not require a special type of EV charger. Real-world range can vary based on climbing, highway speed, extreme temperatures, cabin heating or cooling, vehicle load, and driving habits. Regenerative braking can recover some energy while slowing or descending, but it does not recover all the energy used during a climb. Review the dealership’s 2026 Nissan LEAF information for current details.
What is included with Nissan Safety Shield 360?+

Nissan Safety Shield 360 combines six driver-assistance features:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
  • Rear Automatic Braking
  • Blind Spot Warning
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • High Beam Assist

Many current Nissan models include the suite as standard equipment, but availability can vary by model and trim. Technologies such as Intelligent Lane Intervention, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention, and ProPILOT Assist are separate features and should not be treated as part of the six-feature Safety Shield 360 package.

How do the Nissan Altima and Nissan Sentra compare?+
The Altima is the larger sedan and offers available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which may appeal to drivers who want additional traction capability during winter conditions. Certain front-wheel-drive 2026 Altima trims are rated at up to 39 MPG on the highway.

The Sentra is a more compact sedan and is rated at up to 38 MPG on the highway for the 2026 model year. It may be the better fit if you prioritize a smaller footprint and city efficiency, while the Altima provides more passenger space and available all-wheel drive.
How does the Nissan Certified Pre-Owned program work?+

Nissan offers three separate certification categories:

Nissan Certified applies to qualifying gasoline-powered Nissan vehicles that are up to six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles. These vehicles pass a 167-point inspection and include a 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty and one year of prepaid maintenance or the first 15,000 miles, whichever comes first.

EV Certified applies to qualifying all-electric Nissan vehicles that are up to six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles. They pass a 139-point EV inspection and include a 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty and one year of prepaid maintenance or the first 15,000 miles.

Certified Select can include qualifying Nissan and non-Nissan vehicles that are up to 10 years old with fewer than 100,000 miles. These vehicles pass an 84-point inspection and include a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty.

Standard program benefits may also include a CARFAX vehicle history report, roadside assistance during the warranty period, towing assistance, rental reimbursement, and travel-interruption coverage. Deductibles, exclusions, eligibility requirements, and complete warranty terms apply. Browse the current certified inventory or review the certified program benefits.

Service and Maintenance


What service conveniences does South Colorado Springs Nissan offer?+
South Colorado Springs Nissan advertises complimentary pickup and delivery, luxury loaner vehicles, shuttle service, 24/7 roadside assistance, and a customer lounge with Wi-Fi. Availability and eligibility may depend on the appointment, repair, transportation distance, and available vehicles, so confirm the requested service convenience when scheduling. Review the service center for current information.
How do I schedule service at South Colorado Springs Nissan?+
You can request a service appointment through the dealership’s online Nissan service scheduler. The service center handles routine maintenance and repairs including oil service, tires, brakes, batteries, diagnostics, and other mechanical work.
How often does a Nissan need an oil change?+
The correct oil-change interval depends on the vehicle’s model year, engine, oil type, mileage, and driving conditions. Rather than applying one interval to every Nissan, follow the maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual or ask the service department to confirm the schedule for your particular vehicle.

The dealership’s oil-service page states that a multipoint inspection is performed with its oil-change service. Its parts department also carries genuine Nissan OEM parts.
Does every service visit include a battery check, alignment check, tire-pressure check, and car wash?+
The current dealership site does not state that all of those services are automatically included with every appointment. It does confirm a multipoint inspection with oil-change service and advertises broader service amenities. Ask the service advisor what inspections or complimentary services are included with the specific appointment you are scheduling. You can review current service specials before your visit.
Does South Colorado Springs Nissan have an on-site rental car program?+
Yes. South Colorado Springs Nissan operates a rental department with Nissan models that may include the Versa, Sentra, Kicks, Rogue, Murano, and Pathfinder. Rentals may be available for business travel, personal use, a service appointment, or an extended test of a Nissan model.

Rental availability, rates, insurance requirements, age restrictions, and other conditions apply. The current rental page does not advertise a general price-matching policy.
Does South Colorado Springs Nissan offer same-day service scheduling?+
The dealership accepts online service requests, but same-day availability depends on the work required, technician capacity, parts availability, and existing appointments. Check the live service scheduler or contact the service department to confirm whether an appointment is available that day.

Financing and Purchase Programs


How do I apply for financing at South Colorado Springs Nissan?+
You can complete the dealership’s secure online finance application or work with the finance department in person. The dealership assists with financing and leasing for new and pre-owned vehicles and works with NMAC and other lending options.

Approval, interest rate, loan or lease term, required down payment, and monthly payment depend on the applicant, lender, vehicle, and current programs. Visit the finance center to get started.
Can I begin purchasing a Nissan online?+
Yes. The dealership’s Buy Your Car Online process allows you to select a vehicle and complete parts of the buying process from home. You can also apply for financing and begin valuing your trade before visiting.
Can I sell or trade my vehicle without buying another one?+
Yes. South Colorado Springs Nissan states that its Vehicle Exchange and Acquisition Program can be used to trade a vehicle, upgrade to another vehicle, or sell the vehicle directly for cash. The Instant Cash Offer tool lets you begin the valuation process online.

The final offer depends on an in-person evaluation of the vehicle’s mileage, condition, equipment, history, and current market demand.
Does South Colorado Springs Nissan offer military pricing?+
South Colorado Springs Nissan participates in the Nissan Military Program. The dealership currently advertises $500 military customer cash for qualifying participants on eligible new Nissan vehicles.

Vehicle eligibility, participant requirements, offer dates, documentation, and combination rules may change, so review the current program terms before relying on the incentive.
What is the Nissan College Graduate Program?+
The Nissan College Graduate Program provides an incentive for qualifying recent and upcoming graduates purchasing or leasing an eligible new Nissan. The dealership’s current page advertises a $500 college graduate rebate for applicants who graduated within the previous 24 months or have written confirmation of graduation within the next six months, along with qualifying current or future employment.

Proof of eligibility, vehicle restrictions, residency requirements, credit approval, and program dates apply. The College Graduate Program generally cannot be combined with the Nissan Military Program or another Vehicle Purchase Program offer.
