Manufacturing at Nissan Plant Reaches All-Time High

Coast Nissan 2

In Canton, Mississippi, at the Nissan plant that produced a record-breaking 33,000 vehicles in October, you won’t find any dust on the line. Executives forecast that over 350,000 vehicles will be produced there in 2015. Steve March, VP of Manufacturing, said the plant’s productivity is largely based on the strength of its workforce, which boasts over 6,000 members. “The men and women of Canton have really worked hard to get us to this. It hasn’t been without difficulties but we’ve overcome each and every one of them. It shows the commitment that Nissan has in this particular facility. We’re a global player, we’re a big player in the Nissan world, and it’s really important for us today.” The Canton-based plant is home to the production of nine vehicles, including the Nissan Titan XD. Interestingly enough, the Titan is made on the same line as the Frontier and the Murano crossover. March notes, “There’s no other facility in the Nissan world that has the same level of complexity that we do here.” To reserve your Titan XD today, visit the friendly folks at Cardinale Nissan in Seaside. The pickup is expected to hit dealers by late December.

Nissan Aims to Bring EVs to the Everyman

Coast Nissan 1

With MSRP starting under $30k, the Nissan LEAF is certainly more attainable for the masses than some of its luxury competitors. If you ask Carlos Ghosn, CEO of The Renault Nissan Alliance, bringing electric cars to the masses is of primary importance. That said, the automaker has no plans to compete with Tesla in the luxury electric vehicle segment. If any specialization with electric cars occurs, it will be in the crossover category, according to Ghosn. CUVs are currently seeing a huge explosion in America, Europe and China. In terms of electric cars, Nissan’s focus is on rolling out the next-generation LEAF, which is expected in the next 1-2 years. The LEAF is reported to receive a significant battery upgrade, as well as body redesign, in the coming model years. If you’d like to learn more about the automaker’s roadmap for electric vehicles, drop by Coast Nissan in San Luis Obispo today. Whether you’re looking for a new or used car, Coast Nissan has a variety for every taste and budget.

Nissan Dominates at WD-40 SuperSprint in Australia

Nissan 4 Altima race cars in top 10

At the WD-40 SuperSprint event in Philip Island, Australia, this past weekend, three Nissan Altima models finished in the top 10 finalists. Nissan driver, Todd Kelly finished in fifth place, Rick finished in sixth place and James Moffat came in eighth place. The fourth Nissan race car, #23 and its driver, Michael Caruso spent a big part of the race in the top five, but clutch issues midway through the race caused the wheels to spin during a tire change. This mechanical issue held Caruso back, and the #23 Altima crossed the checkered flag in 22nd place. In a post-race interview, Michael Caruso, said: “The car is obviously very quick but unfortunately suffered a clutch problem which ultimately ended the great result we were heading towards. Everyone is disappointed, but hopefully they can find out what exactly the problem was and we can rectify it for Sydney in a couple of weeks.”

Nissan 4 EV charging stations in Paris

In recent Nissan news, we have learned that the Renault-Nissan Alliance has installed 90 new charging stations for electric vehicles in Paris. Additionally, the automotive partnership was able to receive donations from Schneider Electric, who will be covering the costs of several charging stations. The new charging stations are expected to refuel 200 EVs. Renault-Nissan Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn, said: “COP21 is a call to action to reduce the impact of climate change – including global warming resulting from personal transportation. Electric vehicles are the only existing, practical and affordable transportation solution to our planet’s environmental challenges, and they are available today. Expanding the EV infrastructure is mandatory for any city of state that’s serious about environmental stewardship.”

2016 Nissan Altima Outshines its Competitors

Nissan 4 ALtima 2016 no match

The 2016 Nissan Altima competes in one of the automotive industry’s toughest markets – the full-size sedan segment is overcrowded with options and the Nissan Altima’s midcycle refresh features more than just a few cool upgrades. Cosmetically, the new model has changed tremendously; its front and rear fascias now features an entirely new look – one that is appreciated highly. In addition to the new front and back ends, the Altima now shares a few of the same styling cues as the Murano and the new Maxima models: the new headlights, taillights and subtle changes to hood, fenders and trunk. Nissan reported that the vehicle will carry an EPA ratings of 39 MPG on the highway and 27 MPG in the city = 31 MPG combined.

Nissan SUV Turned into PS4 Controller to Play Digital Soccer

Nissan 3 PS4 Controller SUV

Nissan, Konami and Sony recently joined forces to convert one of Nissan’s most popular SUV models into a PS4 controller. This is all the latest trend in the gaming world – turning random objects, or nontraditional items into game controllers. The Nissan Qashqai crossover was designed to play Pro Evolution Soccer 2016. “Players pass the ball with the brake pedal and shoot on goal with the gas pedal, controlling the direction of players with the steering wheel. The windshield washer lever handles cross passes, the phone button makes players sprint, and the turn signal is used to navigate up and down.” Examples of a few nontraditional controllers that have used to play popular video games include: feet, bongos, a guitar hero controller, keyboard and mouse, etc.
