Publié 19 juin 2025
Nissan’s popular subcompact crossover has earned a coveted place on the 2025 Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX list, and it’s easy to see why. This award recognizes vehicles that go beyond good looks to deliver exceptional usability, comfort, and in-cabin technology—and this model truly delivers. From bold styling touches to seamless tech integration, it’s built for city life in Ontario while keeping your drives comfortable, smart, and connected.
Why Wards Chose It: A Blend of Form and Function
The award wasn’t just handed out for style. WardsAuto’s judges praised this vehicle for its balance of thoughtful design and user-focused technology. Standout features include the redesigned digital instrument cluster, new Google-built infotainment system, and enhanced cabin materials that raise the bar for small SUVs in this segment.
Ontario drivers will especially appreciate how this interior feels far more upscale than expected for its class while remaining practical and intuitive for daily commuting or longer weekend drives.
Cabin That Thinks Ahead
Inside, you’re greeted by a vibrant dual-display setup that includes a 12.3-inch centre touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. These displays work together to simplify navigation, phone integration, and climate control, all while offering high-resolution visuals and voice-activated commands via Google Assistant. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are included, making it even easier to stay connected on the move.
What’s unique is how smoothly everything works. The redesigned layout ensures that touchpoints are right where you need them. The climate knobs feel premium, the screen angles are optimized for less glare, and the voice controls respond quickly—perfect for those unpredictable Ontario winters when you want minimal distractions.
A Comfortable and Stylish Retreat
Beyond its tech, the interior also delivers comfort and materials. The seats are supportive, with available quilted finishes, and contrast stitching adds a refined edge to the cabin. Soft-touch surfaces and sustainable materials demonstrate that Nissan has prioritised both luxury and responsibility. The flat-bottom steering wheel and bold ambient lighting add a sporty touch while keeping things modern and clean.
For a vehicle in this category, the interior feels surprisingly open and versatile, with generous rear legroom and flexible cargo space—ideal for urban errands or road trips along the Rideau.
Interior UX Made for Modern Life
UX, or user experience, plays a central role in this model’s recognition. Everything has been designed to reduce friction—from voice commands that work with Google apps like Maps and Calendar to an intuitive menu layout that’s simple even for first-time users. OTA (Over-the-Air) updates help keep the system current so drivers in Ottawa can enjoy new features without visiting the dealership.
It’s proof that a small vehicle can offer big, smart advantages—blending premium-level innovation with everyday accessibility.
