  Newsweek readers are always excited to express their views on today's premier vehicle brands, and they have done it again for the 2026 model year. Nissan recently earned victories across seven Readers' Choice categories, representing an incredible accomplishment for an automaker dedicated to excellence. Drivers certainly took notice in 2026.
Nissan Wins in Seven Categories
It is remarkable enough that Nissan claimed victory in seven categories of the 2026 Newsweek Readers' Choice Awards, but it is even more impressive that they won every single category where they were nominated. Achieving a perfect 100% win rate gives the team at Nissan every reason to celebrate another successful outcome.
The list of accolades is prestigious: No. 1 Best Brand Dealership Experience, Best Truck Brand, Best SUV Brand, and Best Car Brand. Alongside overall brand honors, individual Nissan vehicles also dominated their segments. The Nissan Rogue was awarded No. 1 Best New SUV, while the Nissan Frontier secured No. 1 Best New Truck. The Altima earned the No. 2 spot in the Best New Car category, right behind the No. 1 winner—the Nissan Sentra.
Tiago Castro, senior vice president of U.S. Marketing & Sales at Nissan and INFINITI, noted that sweeping every nominated category in the Newsweek Readers' Choice Awards represents a strong vote of confidence from buyers. He emphasized that from cars, trucks, and SUVs to the showroom floor, Nissan is focused on providing what drivers truly want.
Newsweek's editorial team also commented on Nissan's clean sweep, calling it an extraordinary accomplishment and a highlighted moment in this year's awards program. Newsweek's audience clearly values the overall quality of Nissan vehicles. They were particularly drawn to the 2026 Nissan Sentra, which offers more standard features than rival sedans in its class, as well as the upcoming 2027 Nissan Frontier, highlighted for its convenience and capability.
For customers looking to buy American-built vehicles, the Frontier is a fantastic option, assembled proudly at Nissan's Canton, Mississippi facility. The facility recently celebrated producing its 1 millionth Frontier truck, reflecting Nissan's rapid growth as a mainstream automotive brand in the United States.
