A Complete Nissan Wingroad Review: Design, Performance, Safety & Readability

1. Overview

Strength

• Plenty of legroom for a small car

• Reasonable performance with low road noise
• Ample cargo area with remote controls for the rear seats

Weakness:

• CVT automatic transmission can have reliability problems
• Small fuel tank

2. Exterior And Interior Design

The Nissan Wingroad has an unusual design compared to other small wagons in the same segment. The front of the car has a sloped, low nose whereas the rear part is rounded and steep. The roof has a flat design, though a step down in the windows gives it look like it tucks down shorter. The car has tinted rear windows, which wrap around to make a pillar-less appearance. These tinted windows brings a little closed feel and dark inside. The plastics are stiff and durable. The car also has leather steering wheel, which can be adjusted for rake. Gauges are located nicely on their white background and are very easy to read. Shelves running under the dashboard and big door pockets offer a huge amount of space for your accessories and items. The car does have a stereo, which is an aftermarket unit. There is a handy 12-V plug located on the passenger side shelf.

For seat arrangement, both front seats provide perfect side support. The only downside here is that their base is a bit short so taller drivers may lack of under-thigh assistance. The rear seat is designed to be able to slide backward or forward by 25cm, offering more legroom and cargo space. With the seat pushed back, headroom and legroom are excellent.  The rear seat row has only enough comfortable space for two adults.

For cargo space, the Nissan Wingroad has a huge and practical cargo space, providing enough space for 3 large or 6 medium tomato crates. The floor is slightly raised, and enables for other 2 storage units beneath. One of these is designed to store wet items. Moreover, it is easy to reach tabs at the rear of the boot, allowing you to move the sliding rear down for added space.

3. Performance And Handling

The Nissan Wingroad made from 2006 or later is fitted with either 1.5L or 1.8L 4-CL petrol engine, whereas the AD version is offered with engines as small as 1.2L. Standard transmission is a CVT automatic. And 4-wheel drive models use a traditional 4-speed automatic. Besides, if you want to get paddle shifters which enable you to select from 6 set ratios in the CVT, you can go with higher import models.

On the road, the performance of the car is exceptional for a small wagon. The engine runs pretty quiet when you speed it up, though it can be a little buzzy when the engine revs high like most CVTs.

The abilities to ride and handle of the Wingroad are sufficient. The ride is very flat, and the suspension can absorb well most bumps. Very light feeling is what you can feel with the steering of the Nissan Wingroad - which is great around city, although not as good as on zigzag roads.

The Wingroad doesn’t offer parking camera so it you are now a master at parking, you will need to buy one. Additionally, narrow and tinted rear windows restrict the rear vision severely. So buying a camera to fit yourself may be the best option to solve these downsides.

4. Safety

The Nissan Wingroad got a full 6-star rating for the protection of both driver and passengers. The model that we tested only had front airbags. In 2010, all higher Nissan Wingroad models were added standard side curtain airbags. Most Japanese import models only have front airbags.

There is no ISOFIX child seat mounts. The center seat has a lap belt, which is far less safe than the shoulder type.

5. Reliability

The Nissan Wingroad is well-known as a small wagon with high reliability score. Its timing chain has a long lifespan and does not require regular replacement. Other parts of the car can be used for a long time if you regularly maintain them in the right way.
