New and Pre-Owned Vehicles


What new Nissan models are available at South Colorado Springs Nissan?
Our new Nissan inventory may include models such as the Sentra, Altima, Kicks, Rogue, Rogue Plug-in Hybrid, Murano, Pathfinder, Armada, Frontier, Z, and LEAF. Models, drivetrains, trims, and colors change as inventory arrives and vehicles sell. Browse our current new Nissan selection to see what's available.
How do the Nissan Rogue and Pathfinder compare for Colorado Springs families?
The Rogue is a compact two-row SUV with seating for five, making it a practical fit for everyday commuting and smaller households. The Pathfinder provides three rows with seating for up to eight and additional towing capability when properly equipped. For families who regularly need more passenger space or travel with recreational equipment, the Pathfinder may offer greater flexibility. Compare our new Nissan SUVs.
Is the Nissan Frontier suitable for work, towing, and Colorado mountain trips?
The Frontier is a midsize pickup with useful hauling and towing capability and available four-wheel drive. It can be a good fit for work equipment, trailers, and outdoor activities around Southern Colorado. Towing and payload ratings depend on the vehicle's configuration, and elevation, grades, and load can affect performance. Review the specifications of vehicles in our new inventory.
How do elevation and winter weather affect Nissan LEAF driving range?
Elevation alone doesn't require special charging equipment, but driving conditions in Colorado can influence EV range. Climbing grades uses additional energy, while regenerative braking can recover some energy during downhill driving. Cold weather, cabin heating, highway speeds, and snow-covered roads can also affect efficiency. When planning mountain trips, allow extra range and confirm charging stops. Explore our Nissan EV resources.
What is the difference between the Nissan LEAF and Rogue Plug-in Hybrid?
The LEAF is fully electric and relies on charging to replenish its battery. The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid combines an electric driving system with a gasoline engine, allowing it to continue traveling when battery-only range is exhausted. The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid also offers three-row seating. Both have different charging and driving characteristics, so compare their specifications and your travel needs using our new inventory.
Which Nissan models offer all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive for Colorado conditions?
Available all-wheel-drive configurations can be found on Nissan crossovers and SUVs such as the Kicks, Rogue, Murano, and Pathfinder, depending on model year and trim. The Frontier and Armada offer four-wheel-drive configurations. Drivetrain availability doesn't replace the need for appropriate tires or careful winter driving. Check the equipment listed in our new Nissan inventory.
How do the Nissan Altima and Sentra compare?
The Sentra is a compact sedan suited to efficient everyday driving, while the Altima offers a larger cabin and a different selection of comfort features. Both can work well for commuting around Colorado Springs, but your preferred passenger space and equipment may influence the choice. Browse our new Nissan selection to compare current vehicles.
What safety and driver-assist features are available on new Nissan vehicles?
Many new Nissan models include Safety Shield 360, which combines Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist. Other available technologies, including ProPILOT Assist, vary by model and trim. Confirm the features included on a particular vehicle in our new inventory.
What pre-owned vehicles are available at South Colorado Springs Nissan?
Our pre-owned inventory includes cars, SUVs, pickups, and crossovers from Nissan and other manufacturers. Depending on availability, you may find recent-model vehicles, Certified Pre-Owned Nissans, and options across different budgets. Explore our all-makes pre-owned inventory to compare current listings.
What's the difference between Nissan Certified, EV Certified, and Certified Select?
Nissan offers different certification programs based on vehicle type and eligibility. Qualifying gas-powered Nissan Certified vehicles undergo a 167-point inspection and include a factory-backed 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty. EV Certified and Certified Select vehicles follow different inspection and warranty requirements. Confirm which program applies to the vehicle you're considering and review our Certified Pre-Owned inventory.
Can I review a vehicle history report before buying a pre-owned vehicle?
You can ask our sales team about the available vehicle history report for a particular pre-owned vehicle. Reports such as CARFAX may include reported accidents, ownership records, title history, and selected maintenance information. Nissan Certified vehicles include a CARFAX report as part of their program. Browse our pre-owned inventory and request details on a specific vehicle.

Service, Parts, and Maintenance


Does South Colorado Springs Nissan offer service pickup, loaner vehicles, or shuttle transportation?
Transportation assistance may be available for qualifying service visits, depending on the work required, your location, scheduling, and vehicle availability. Contact our service team in advance to discuss shuttle service, loaner vehicles, or pickup arrangements. Visit the South Colorado Springs Nissan Service Center to confirm current options.
Can I schedule service online and find current service specials?
Yes. You can schedule a service appointment online for routine maintenance or repairs. We also post current service specials for qualifying work. Review offer terms and scheduling availability before your visit.
How often should I service my Nissan?
Maintenance intervals vary by Nissan model, model year, mileage, and driving conditions. Follow the recommendations in your owner's manual for oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and other scheduled services. Colorado's temperature changes, mountain roads, and driving conditions may affect the maintenance your vehicle needs. Our service department can help you plan appropriate work.
What does a Nissan multi-point inspection include?
A multi-point inspection helps evaluate important vehicle components such as tires, brakes, fluid levels, battery condition, filters, belts, and lighting. Our technicians can review the results and explain any recommended maintenance. This inspection is a useful assessment but doesn't replace specialized diagnostic testing. Contact our service center for current inspection options.
Can I order genuine Nissan parts, accessories, and tires?
Yes. Our parts department can help you find genuine Nissan replacement parts and accessories, along with tires suited to your model and driving needs. Having your model year and VIN available helps confirm compatibility. Contact our service and parts team to check availability and ordering options.
Can I rent a Nissan through South Colorado Springs Nissan?
Yes. South Colorado Springs Nissan operates a rental department for eligible customers seeking temporary transportation. Rentals may be useful during service appointments, business travel, or other short-term needs. Vehicle availability, driver requirements, rental terms, and rates vary.

Financing, Trade-In, and Leasing


Can I apply for Nissan financing online before visiting?
Yes. You can begin through our finance center and submit a credit application before visiting the dealership. Our finance team works with lenders to explore financing options for different credit backgrounds. Approval, rates, and other terms depend on your completed application and lender requirements.
What factors can affect my monthly Nissan payment?
Your monthly payment depends on factors including the vehicle price, down payment, trade-in equity, interest rate, loan term, and lender approval. Your credit history may also affect available financing terms. Our payment and financing resources can help you compare estimates before you apply.
Should I lease or finance my next Nissan?
Financing may suit drivers who want to own their vehicle and keep it for several years. Leasing may appeal to those who prefer changing vehicles more frequently and are comfortable with mileage limits, vehicle-condition rules, and lease-end responsibilities. Your budget and driving habits help determine the best fit. Visit our finance center for available options.
Does South Colorado Springs Nissan offer military and college graduate incentives?
Yes. South Colorado Springs Nissan participates in Nissan programs for eligible military personnel and qualifying students or recent graduates. Benefits, qualifying vehicles, program compatibility, and documentation depend on current requirements. Review our Military Program and College Graduate Program pages for details.
Can I sell or trade my vehicle without buying another car?
Yes. South Colorado Springs Nissan can evaluate your vehicle for purchase even if you're not buying or leasing another one. Our Instant Cash Offer tool lets you begin the process online. The final offer depends on an appraisal that considers the vehicle's condition, mileage, history, and market demand.
Can I trade in a vehicle that still has an outstanding loan?
Yes. Having an existing loan doesn't automatically prevent a trade-in. The dealership will compare the vehicle's appraised value with the amount required to pay off the loan. Positive equity may be applied toward another vehicle, while any remaining balance must be addressed as part of the transaction. Begin with our vehicle valuation tool.
What are my options when my Nissan lease is ending?
When your Nissan lease approaches maturity, you can generally return the vehicle, explore purchasing it, or consider your next vehicle. Review your contract's mileage allowance, inspection requirements, and potential charges before deciding. Our Nissan lease-return guide explains the steps for Colorado Springs drivers.
What vehicle protection plans are available at South Colorado Springs Nissan?
South Colorado Springs Nissan offers optional vehicle protection products through its finance department. Available coverage may address certain repairs and ownership expenses, depending on the plan. Eligibility, exclusions, and terms vary by product. Review our vehicle protection plans for details.

Financing and monthly payments depend on the transaction and aren't guaranteed to stay the same or decrease. Visit our Vehicle Exchange Program page for current information.
