Nissan Examines The Benefits Of A Mitsubishi Partnership

shutterstock_191693912

In case you haven’t been following Nissan in the news recently, the company has been looking to join forces with Mitsubishi Motors and reviving them from their current position. This partnership would allow for shared research and development as well as bringing back thousands of jobs. Mitsubishi was recently faced the consequences of inaccurately presorting fuel-economy figures, but Nissan firmly believes it can bring back the company from the pit it is currently in. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosen recently outlined why he believes that the partnership could be greatly beneficial for everyone.

 

Back in 1999, Nissan had been through some difficult times and was on the brink of collapse, but a timely joining of forces with the company Renault turned that all around and turned it into the industry powerhouse it is today. A similar partnership with Mitsubishi Motors would have a number of economic and consumer benefits. The driving factor behind this merger is that Mitsubishi’s strengths complement Nissan’s, and it will help the company grow in important areas like deeper localization, common vehicle platforms and technology sharing. This is especially important with the arrival of more electric and self-driving cars.

 

Additionally, Nissan will be able to salvage many of the physical assets that Mitsubishi had to close down, including production plants and dealerships. This will create thousands of jobs and hopefully bring some life back to the communities most affected by these shutdowns. Perhaps most importantly, Ghosen added, “We know what it’s like to face a crisis and emerge stronger,” and they can use that experience to hopefully achieve a similar result as the #Renault-Nissan Alliance.

The Titan And Frontier Makes Big Waves In 2016

NIssan titan 2

It has certainly been an exciting and crazy 2016, even in the auto industry. With talks of new hybrids, electric vehicles and self-driving cars, some interesting makes and models are sure to find their way to dealerships in the coming future. But surprisingly, 2016 has been a standout year for trucks, with sales reaching record highs and blowing away expectations. Perhaps this is due to their versatility and overall usefulness for everyday tasks. Whatever the reason, the Nissan Frontier and Titan have been incredibly popular, and their new 2017 changes have only added to the excitement.

 

The mid-size Frontier and full-size Titan are two of the most awarded trucks in their class, and have had great sales over the past year. The 2017 Frontier has some heavy competition in the Toyota Tacoma and the Chevy Colorado, but its’ dependable engine and spacious cabin have made it a big hit with families. It has shown an impressive 41.5 percent increase in sales, and Nissan is already working on implementing its NissanConnect technology and mobile apps into the upcoming 2018 model. If you need a family ride that is in it for the long haul, consider the Frontier an excellent candidate.

The 2017 Titan and #TitanXD have already been released, and the Crew Cab is not far behind. So far the updates to its exterior and interior design have paid off, with the car sporting a huge 363 percent increase in its third month of sales. This full-size pickup is great for those who want a little more luxury in their cab while still maintaining a powerful towing capacity.

 

Come check out either of these new trucks at Coast Nissan, your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, where our friendly sales team will be happy to give you a test drive, Nissan lease or keys to your own truck.

Nissan Seeks Goal Of Developing Connected Cars

Nissasn leaf

As creating self-driving cars has become the goal that most automakers have set themselves, it’s important to consider all the potential benefits that a computer operated car can provide. These machines not only let you relax a bit more on your tedious drive to work each morning, they provide important information that can save you time and money. This is a concept termed “connected cars,” and it allows for better navigation, predictability and safety.

 

Much like the transition that phones made from a simple calling device to a computer in your pocket, vehicles are slowly becoming autonomous and also will be able to connect to the internet. This change means that cars will be able to communicate with one another and relay information back to a central system. It can then use this data to improve the efficiency of apps such as navigation. Each car will know if there is an accident on the highway or if some new road work is slowing down traffic in a certain area, thanks to other cars that have already encountered the incident. This allows for immediate, real-time updating of your navigation app.

 

There are many other exciting applications of this connectivity. Want to know if there is a free charging station or a spot open in a parking garage? Thanks to environmental sensors, an already parked self-driving car could tell if there is room open next to it, allowing entire parking lots to be mapped out in less than a second. These dynamic apps will change the way people drive, and adapt to the constantly changing world by simply being connected to other vehicles.

 

Nissan expects to have these cars on the road by 2020, but for now you can check out the award winning #Altima or a used Nissan Leaf at Coast Nissan. We have a wide selection of all the new 2017 models and provide many Nissan services, so check out our whole inventory online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Releases Latest Truck In Titan Lineup

NIssan titan 2

 

The 2017 Nissan Titan XD full size pickup hit dealerships a few months ago as one of the earliest releases of the new year’s lineup. It was a bit of a teaser of what was still to come from the rest of Nissan’s Titan versions, which all offer their own individual packages. The next Titan to arrive is the regular Nissan Titan, which has been redesigned like the XD in order to offer more of the features that truck drivers are looking for.

 

The Titan XD was Nissan’s largest heavy duty pickup, while the Titan is a bit more compact and better suited for people who don’t need to tow extremely heavy loads. That’s not to say the Titan is lacking in the towing department; a 390-hp V8 engine with seven-speed transmission can haul some of the biggest trailers. Currently only the V8 is offered, but the V6 option will be released at a later date. Additionally, the truck is currently only offered in a four-door crew cab, with an optional extended-cab version arriving shortly. This is in addition to the number of upgrade packages including the ever popular PRO-4X and stylish Platinum Reserve.

The crew-cab model is one of the most attractive variations of this rugged truck, as it still provides plenty of seating for family members and cargo room in the bed for extra luggage. Multiple aluminum cleats on the sides of the bed can be repositioned and locked down to provide a place for bungee cords or cables to loop through them. It also has a 120-volt power outlet and LED lights so you can work hard even in the dark.

 

Come check out any of this versatile lineup of trucks at Coast Nissan. We can help you find one to meet your needs, or you can check us out at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Offers Track Education For New GT-R Owners

Nissan gt-r

The Nissan GT-R has recently been given the nickname “Godzilla of the Track”. The most obvious explanation for this is the car’s massive 565-horsepower engine that roars to life when accelerating the car to high speeds. This sports car has earned the name through its domination of the competition in events like time trials and lap races. The GT-R even set the record recently for the fastest quarter mile. To get you prepared and educated about the sheer power the GT-R can offer, Nissan is offering new owners one day of track-driving instruction at an actual raceway.

 

What use is a sports car with one of the best engines if you don’t know how to properly use its racing features? The #GT-R has some of the most advanced turning and stability technologies along with a solid base and high-traction wheels. This allows for precise turns and pinpoint maneuvers when navigating any road or track, as long as you know the limits of the vehicle. The best way to learn these limits is to experience them hands on at an actual raceway, with training from some of the industry’s top experts. You will also learn how to properly brake and accelerate on these tricky roads.

 

This offer is available between the end of November and March 31st, and is estimated to be worth around $2,000. The training is intense, but it is sure to leave you more educated, skilled and familiar with your car at the end. Nissan does recommend you wait until after the break-in period before heading out to the track. That way you have a basic understanding of the car’s inner workings.

 

Come see all Nissan’s newest cars along with the GT-R during the event period at Coast Nissan. We can help you find the best car for your needs, or you can take a look at all our cars online at www.coastnissan.com.

Find The Best Crossover Of 2017 With The Nissan Murano

Nissan Murano 2

Today, crossovers have become incredibly common for both families and car enthusiasts alike. A quick scan across any parking lot in America will reveal a whole host of crossovers, like they were shaped from a cookie cutter. Nissan pioneered the class with its release of the Murano back in 2003, and later added the Rogue, Juke, Pathfinder and Armada to diversify the lineup. The Murano will always be the gold standard of crossovers though, and 2017 is bringing exciting changes and additions to this already stellar car.

 

The Murano has four different trim levels that are perfect for customizing exactly which features you want. The car has always been known for its classy style and elegant look, and the interior of the vehicle reflects that as well. Its complex combination of curves and angles on the outside will turn many heads, but the pearlescent trim and Cashmere color palette of the leather dashboard will create pure jealousy. Smartphone connectivity and an easy to use infotainment system provide all the additional tools you need to make your ride entertaining and fun.

 

Nissan Murano

 

The #Murano strives to balance fashion with functionality; a great look means nothing after all if actually driving it is difficult or seems like a chore. Safety features on this crossover include blind spot warning, to detect when it is all clear to change lanes, and rear cross traffic alerts, which monitors dangerous movement behind your car. And just in case you had a late night out with friends or a long and stressful day at work, the car can arouse you from a drowsy or inattentive state.

 

This stand out crossover is available at Coast Nissan, along with the rest of the 2017 lineup. You can also find us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Electric And Self-Driving Cars Become New Focus Of Nissan

Nissasn leaf

At this point, electric and self-driving cars are on the fast track to becoming the biggest developments the car industry have ever seen. Electric cars are environmentally friendly and they require no gasoline, which reduces costs for consumers and emits no greenhouse gases. Self-driving cars provide drivers a way to escape the boredom of traffic or having to go thirty miles down the highway. Recently, Nissan released the changes they are making in order to stay at the forefront of these market.

 

For electric cars, Nissan has always been an industry pioneer since the introduction of the Leaf, which was one of the first commercially viable electric cars. As battery technology has been improved over the last couple of years and storage capacities are becoming more viable for everyday drivers, more people are making the switch. The latest Nissan Leaf will offer a 100+ mile range with even more horsepower. Nissan has also been hard at work installing charging stations in thousands of cities across America in order to provide “fuel” for travelers who need a quick recharge.

Nissan has been heavily investing into researching self-driving cars. They have already sold a line of optional autonomous minivans in Japan, and over 60 percent of people took that option. Clearly the public is craving self-driving cars, so Nissan is going to bring it to them. Nissan estimates that their first commercially viable self-driving car will be available by 2020, so keep your eyes on the near future.

 

You can experience the #Leaf for yourself at Coast Nissan, along with the rest of the newest vehicles. Our website at www.coastnissan.com can also help you find exactly what you are looking for.

Nissan Produces Two New Limited Edition Cars

nissan logo 1

Small batch production is fairly rare in the car industry. It involves hundreds or thousands of hours of additional work in order to engineer a model that is significantly different from the base car, as well as the added strain on the manufacturing staff. However, for certain celebrations, milestones or events a limited production of a certain car can be a great way for car makers to give drivers a thematic variation of a vehicle. Recently, Nissan created two small batch models, the Rogue: Star Wars Edition and the Juke Black Pearl.

 

In order to celebrate the release of the new Star Wars movie, Nissan partnered with LucasArts in order to give dedicated fans a car that symbolizes the franchise. Special decals and reminders of the timeless movies will be present all throughout the car, and included with each one is a limited edition death trooper helmet. The limited edition Rogue will also feature all the latest upgrades that 2017 has brought to the model, including an optional hybrid engine and improved safety features. Act quickly in order to reserve your car or buy one as a gift for your family’s Star Wars enthusiast.

 

Nissan Juke Black Pearl

 

The #BlackPearl is a modified version of the Nissan Juke, and will be even more limited in availability than the Rogue. It is the first example of the new Juke Color Studio, which allows users to customize nearly every possible color option on the car. The Black Pearl will come with black base paint, wheels and interior, but with several touches of white on areas like the mirrors, door handles and bumper trim.

 

Check out both of these limited products at Coast Nissan, along with the best deals on all new models. You can also find us on the web at www.coastnissan.com.
