When shopping for a vehicle, quality and dependability are some of the chief concerns for drivers across Alaska. Recent JD Power awards confirm what many Nissan owners already know: the brand consistently produces exceptional vehicles that stand the test of time. Fairbanks Nissan is proud to offer these award-winning models to customers throughout the region.

Nissan Dominates Initial Quality Rankings

In the prestigious JD Power 2025 U.S. Initial Quality Study, Nissan achieved remarkable recognition by ranking highest among all Mass-Market brands and second in the industry overall. This comprehensive study measures problems per 100 vehicles during the first 90 days of ownership, making it the benchmark for new-vehicle quality assessment.

Two Nissan models particularly stood out in their respective segments. The new Nissan Altima ranked highest in the Midsize Car segment, while the Nissan Sentra claimed top honors in the Compact Car category. These achievements reflect Nissan's commitment to making vehicles that deliver exceptional quality from day one, whether you're commuting from North Pole or driving to work in Fairbanks.

Proven Long-Term Dependability

Beyond initial quality, Nissan vehicles continue to excel for years down the road. The JD Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study recognized the new Nissan Kicks as the Most Dependable Small SUV and the Nissan Murano as the Most Dependable Midsize SUV. This study surveys owners of 3-year-old vehicles across 184 potential problem areas, providing comprehensive insight into long-term reliability.

For military families at Eielson AFB, this dependability means peace of mind during deployments and relocations. Similarly, Delta Junction drivers appreciate knowing their Nissan will reliably handle the demanding Alaska driving conditions year after year.

What This Means for Alaska Drivers

These JD Power awards translate into real benefits for local drivers. Whether you're navigating winter roads in College or making the trek to Fort Greely, you can trust that your Nissan vehicle will deliver consistent performance and reliability. The combination of initial quality and long-term dependability makes Nissan models an intelligent choice for Alaska's unique driving challenges.
