A wireless phone charger is available in every new Nissan vehicle, including the Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, LEAF, Murano, Pathfinder, Rogue, Sentra and Z.
Wireless charging is available on all new 2026 and 2027 Nissan models. It's standard on many vehicles, and optional on every new Nissan.
Multiple Nissan models use a new, Qi2-compatible wireless charger design that uses magnets to help position phones for more consistent charging. The charger also includes a fan to help keep phone temperatures more consistent during charging. The new Qi2-compatible charger is currently available in the 2027 Nissan Frontier, 2026 Murano, 2026 Pathfinder and 2027 Z.
Wireless charging is available on all new Nissan models. When equipped from the factory, the wireless charger is seamlessly integrated with the vehicle's interior. Accessory wireless chargers may be available for certain Nissan vehicles; see your dealer for more information.
Wireless chargers in Nissan vehicles are designed to work with any phone featuring wireless charging, including iPhone and Android models.
A wired USB connection is usually the fastest way to charge your device. The latest Qi2 wireless chargers in several new Nissan vehicles deliver consistent power up to 15 watts, compared to the 5 watts of many previous-generation chargers, allowing for faster charging of compatible devices.
Your results will vary depending on your phone case. Generally, thinner phone cases, or those specifically designed for wireless charging, are more likely to allow the device to operate on a wireless charger.
Wireless phone charging is incredibly convenient because you don't need to plug your device in every time you get in the car – a significant benefit if you are getting in and out of the vehicle a lot for short journeys. It also is convenient if you forget or misplace your USB charging cable, or if the vehicle's USB ports are already being used by other passengers or devices. However, generally a wired USB cable provides faster, more consistent charging.
Yes, every new Nissan vehicle has USB-C ports to help drivers and passengers keep phones charged. The 2026 Nissan Altima and 2027 Z also still offer USB-A ports – the older, more familiar style of USB port.
Here's how many USB ports each new Nissan vehicle offers as standard; some vehicles offer more depending on which grade or options are selected, for instance adding additional ports for second- or third-row passengers.
