Review of Interior and Exterior Looks and Features of the 2016 Nissan Versa

June 8, 2016 By Admin

The 2016 Nissan Versa is vying for attention in the highly competitive subcompact space with the likes of the Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, Chevrolet Sonic and Ford Fiesta to go against. The advantage that the Versa holds over all of them is that it provides a level of value and features that is virtually impossible to beat.

Interior looks and features

What really draws you to this Nissan offering is its bucket loads of space inside the cabin, be it the front or the rear or the cargo. This is probably the only subcompact sedan where a 6-foot tall person can sit without his head touching the headline of the car confidently. The front seats are comfortable for city rides and offer amenities to be a realistic vehicle for everyday use for a driver and several passengers.

The dash is easy to read. There is the standard trip meter, the analogue tachometer and speedometer, etc. There is a large glove box and also 3-knob climate control. The audio display and controls are simple yet practical and provide the expected features for a modern vehicle.

Exterior

The Versa has an appealing design, particularly considering its very reasonable sale price. You get 15inch steel wheels on the base model which gets upgraded to 15inch aluminum alloy on SV and 16inch alloy on SL. The design keeps up with modern trends and focus has been kept on comfort rather than looks or breakneck speed. The car gets all season tires and there are options like rear trunk spoiler, splash guards and accented chrome trunk that you can choose from. The side panels however, get character lines, which Nissan has named “squash lines”.

Performance and Safety Review of the 2016 Nissan Altima

June 6, 2016 By Admin

Posted in General, Uncategorized

The 2016 Nissan Altima is focused on improving its performance and fuel efficiency, making it a leader in its class. It does pack a punch under the hood and the SR actually feels quite nimble and sporty.

Performance specs

It comes in two engine options: the 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder, DOHC and the 3.5 liter, V6 DOHC. A Hybrid variant is no longer available. The 2.5 liter produces 180 bhp power and 180 ft-lb torque at high rpm ranges. Redline rpm is at 6800 rpm. If you rev up the SR too close to the redline, the car software automatically downshifts significantly. But the engine feels nice throughout the range. The V6 produces 270 bhp power and 258 ft-lb torque. The CVT manual transmission feels nice and smooth. The gears are simulated in the SR and SL to copy the gear ratios of automatics. The others come with manuals.

Safety

This 191.4 inch (109.3 inch wheelbase) long sedan is packed with safety features. ABS, traction and stability controls as well as rearview parking cameras are standard on all models. Some of the top get blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control with front collision warning with emergency auto braking (only SL). Nissan also provides emergency assistance and lost car location assistance. It has a tire pressure monitor and is easy to fill, which means a warning system sounds buzzing when the tires have been inflated adequately. No separate monitors are required. The 2015 Nissan Altima, similar to this one, had got the highest possible ratings on crash safety tests from IIHS and NHTSA.

Nissan is giving you a “substantial” car for a reasonable bargain. It starts from the $23,000 level and goes up to just below $35,000 level, for the fully fitted top trim SL. So, it can cater to a wide section of the market. To know more, contact us at Coast Nissan.

Nissan’s Scratch Shield

May 27, 2016 By Admin

Posted in General, Uncategorized

A clear coat that is more robust when compared to its competitors and will leave your vehicle looking better, longer can be had with Nissan’s Scratch Shield technology. Clear coats enhance the external beauty of a car. Scratch shield is efficient at hiding scratches that are very fine and reinstates the car back to its original form or nearly undetectably close to it. Nissan has announced to continue its expansion of Scratch Shield all across the world. Scratch shied is marketed as a self-healing clear coat which can save on costs down the road in maintaining your Nissan’s appearance.

The main feature of a Scratch Shield is that once applied, the car appears to have scratches that are five times lesser than a conventional clear coat painted car. Scratches that are as old as a week or new are successfully masked by the Scratch Shield technology.

The structural component of the Scratch Shield includes an exclusive resin which is highly elastic in combination with the clear coat. This improves the flexibility of the paint and strength depending on the varying resin density in the mixture.

Self-repair of the paint is blocked when the scratches are so deep that the clear coat bonds are broken or in case of clear coat, peeled off. The time taken to self- repair post application of Scratch Shield is temperature and scratch depth dependent. In the case of deep scratches, time taken to restore may be a week or more. Nissan is extending the concept of self-healing to phone cases as well.

Nissan’s Quick Comfort Seat Heater

May 25, 2016 By Admin

Posted in General, Uncategorized

Apart from being a statement of luxury, heated seats are therapeutic. They reduce fatigue and help in relaxation by improving blood circulation. The Quick comfort seat heater in Nissan vehicles are intelligently optimized to vary temperature and location setting depending on the time post activation of the heater. As a result the time taken to warm the seats is reduced and comfort is prolonged.

The heater density of the seats is optimized based on scientific data from the Design department of Kyushu University. The result is a comfortable seat that transports you to a blanketed world of relaxation. During the initial heating phase, the region around the posterior and knees are activated first followed by the thighs and hip region. By splitting the heat activation, the time taken to enjoy the warmth of the seat is reduced by 30%. The seats are heated in less than seven minutes as compared to the 10 minutes taken by conventional heaters.

Each seat part is optimized for the density of the heating ratio in the heater lines. The heater line density is greatly reduced for the knee and posterior region as the sensation of heat is felt sooner. Additionally, the line density is increased for the thigh and hip regions. The result is a seat that is temperature balanced without the need for the addition of new controls and added cost for heating purposes.

Visit or contact Coast Nissan to experience the Nissan’s Quick comfort seat heater.

Nissan’s Mode Control Design Technology (NODAL Mount)

May 20, 2016 By Admin

Posted in General, Uncategorized

Nissan has always concentrated on giving passengers an enjoyable and secure driving experience in all kinds of road conditions.

The automaker undertakes the rigid vehicle bodies’ development and reduction of weight. Sometimes, the vehicle bodies may turn out to be vulnerable to vibration due to reduction of weight. So, they took into consideration the vehicle deformation mode in case it vibrates and built a comfortable body by controlling the deformation.

Thoroughly taking into account the deformation vibration mode and using that feature – they worked on this technology and the result is what Nissan called Mode Control Design Technology (Nodal Mount). It facilitates a comfortable and smooth drive always without any kind of disturbance by shake or sound.

The Mode Control Design Technology (Nodal Mount) technology has recognized the co-achievement of drive comfort and weight reduction.

The fundamental characteristic of a comfortable car body is reduced vibration against any input force. However, the counter-action for this may be achieved with extra mass. On the contrary, there’s always a motionless point known as ‘node’. Comfort can be enhanced by designing the vehicle body in such a way that input force is applied to this specific node.

Nissan achieved this drive comfort by researching the ideal body deformation mode at times of vibration and analyzed it. Nissan’s new Mode Control Design Technology ensures a pleasurable driving experience, which aims at realizing an unparalleled level of comfort and assurance.

Get more info about Nissan’s Mode Control Design Technology and also test drive any of the models at Coast Nissan.

Nissan’s Intelligent Seatbelts

May 18, 2016 By Admin

Posted in General, Uncategorized

Nissan’s Intelligent Seatbelts add more to the already existing safety features of its cars. It can enhance the functionality of seat belts.

The new intelligent seat belt comes integrated with a winding device (a motorized retractor), which assists in improving the safety feeling. It also feels more comfortable when worn and adds more to the sense of hospitality.

When the driver opens the car door, this winding device gets activated automatically and feeds the belt. The new feature loosens the belt and simultaneously the belt guide on the side of the door is inclined ahead by a spring so that passengers can easily grab it when putting the belt on. At times of abrupt skidding or steering, the belt gets wound up in order to hold the occupant safety, thus enhancing safety.

The motor functions by extending the tongue to the front passenger and the driver. When the belt is worn, it consumes additional belt webbing and assists in controlling the fit. On unfastening, the belt gets pulled into storage automatically. The tight function of the system assists in offering the front passenger and the driver safe feeling during abrupt maneuvers and skids.

Nissan integrates its Intelligent Seatbelts on coupes with B pillar set moderately to the rear. The automaker has previously commercialized a winding device for the pre-crush belts, which wind up the safety belt while braking suddenly to safeguard the passenger. The company also has plans to add new software to the winding device.
