Two Nissan Models Made the Cut — and That’s No Accident
When Nielsen Editorial put together its guide to the Top Cars and SUVs for Rainy Road Conditions in NJ, two Nissan models earned their spot on the list: the Nissan Rogue and the Nissan Altima. For anyone who’s ever hydroplaned through a puddle on the Garden State Parkway and immediately started reconsidering their life choices, that’s a pretty strong endorsement.
The Rogue’s Intelligent AWD system is a big part of why it made the cut. It continuously monitors road conditions and adjusts power delivery between the front and rear wheels to help maintain traction, even as conditions change minute by minute. That’s the kind of feature you don’t think about — until a sudden downpour near the Meadowlands turns the highway into a reflective blur and you realize your vehicle is already adapting in real time.
Then there’s the Altima, which stands out for offering something most sedans don’t: available all-wheel drive. In a segment dominated by front-wheel drive, that extra layer of traction makes a noticeable difference when roads get slick. For commuters who want sedan-level efficiency but don’t want to feel outmatched every time it rains, the Altima fills a gap that most competitors ignore entirely.
Together, the Rogue and Altima show that whether you prefer the versatility of an SUV or the efficiency of a sedan, Nissan offers options that are genuinely built for real-world driving in places like New Jersey, where the weather rarely sticks to the forecast.
