Nissan has been named the winner in four categories in the annual Ruedas ESPN Awards, including the prestigious “Manufacturer of the Year” and “Vehicle of the Year” titles, at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show.

The new 2017 Rogue Sport, the latest addition to Nissan’s popular crossover SUV lineup, took home the hardware in both the “Vehicle of the Year” and “Best CUV” categories. The TITAN XD, the flagship of Nissan’s hardworking personal and commercial pickup lineup, won for “Best Diesel Pickup Truck.” Winners are selected by a jury of industry experts in 14 categories, along with the “Vehicle of the Year.”

“Nissan is honored to be recognized for these four awards by Ruedas ESPN, especially with their nod to the exciting new Rogue Sport,” said Dan Mohnke, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing and Operations, Nissan Division U.S., Nissan North America, Inc. in accepting the awards from Jaime Florez, director, Ruedas ESPN. “The Hispanic market, and Los Angeles in particular, has been a key driver of Nissan’s sales success in recent years – so it is an added pleasure to receive the honors here at the Los Angeles Auto Show.”

“The portfolio of Nissan vehicles available in the U.S. market is today better than ever. Not only are their products the right ones in every segment, but also the quality of their vehicles is second to none,” said Florez. “For these and many other reasons, Nissan North America is 2017 Ruedas ESPN Manufacturer of the Year.”
