Nissan Combines Passenger Space With A Powerful Sports Car

By

Nissan Maxima

Manufacturing and selling a sports car can be tricky business. Most people are looking for power and thrill when driving a sports car, with effortless and quick acceleration. But one of the main drawbacks of most sports cars is their limited passenger seating and general use of a two-door system. After all, why wouldn’t you want to share that exhilaration and thrill with as many people as possible. That’s why Nissan has developed the all-new 2017 Nissan Maxima, aptly named “the four-door sports car”.

 

The Nissan Maxima is a sports sedan that trades a small amount of sleekness and weight for a plethora of features and spacious passenger seating. This year’s update has mainly worked to improve the interior features and add a few more luxury options. The base model has a brand new audio system, as well as an eight inch display to connect audio, Bluetooth, navigation and satellite radio all in one easy-to-use screen.

 

The Maxima is available with three upgrade packages: Medallion, Dynamic and Midnight. The Medallion adds a stylish spoiler, larger wheels and accent lighting for the interior and ground. The Dynamic also features a spoiler and 18-inch wheels, but also illuminated kick plates and rocker moldings on the side. The Midnight package brings a brand new look to the car with a sport spoiler, gloss-black wheels and a charcoal interior. The Maxima also comes with Zero Gravity seating made with high quality Ascota leather that also accents numerous other interior features.

 

Look for this popular combination of sport and spaciousness at Coast Nissan, along with other great Nissan models we have in our current inventory. We want to be your dealership!

Nissan’s Electric Technology Finds A Home On A Small Island

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Coast Nissan 1_DCcharging

People are constantly finding inventive and exciting ways to make our planet a little greener. Whether it’s using LED light bulbs or saving water, every little bit goes a long way. Recently, the Channel Island Jersey post office in the United Kingdom has also been doing their part by converting to an all-electric fleet of Nissan eNV200 vans, aimed at reducing emissions by almost 35 tonnes per year.

 

Channel Island is a small but thriving string of islands off the southern coast of the UK, of which the Jersey is the largest. This small and localized area is the perfect place for any electric car to make a great impact. Electric cars work best over many shorter drives rather than one long distance, and with the Nissan Leaf being the industry leader in mileage per charge, this fleet of vans based on the Leaf’s design are ideal for replacing the standard diesel post-office truck. The 100-mile range is more than enough to get these cars through a day of delivering mail on such an island.

 

These vans have a number of upsides along with the zero emissions. The electric vans are much more economical than diesel vans, featuring a great warranty, as well as a more reliable engine. Electric engines are more reliable and sturdy than regular engines, meaning less maintenance that could disrupt mail service to businesses and people. The Director of Operations of the post office Andy Jehan added, “the vans are…ideal for the short distance, stop/start driving that the job involves.”

 

To experience the Nissan Leaf, the inspiration and technological foundation for the eNV200 vans, visit Coast Nissan for a test drive. We have a great selection of new and pre-owned vehicles. Come see for yourself!

Nissan Explores New Design Possibilities With Artificial Intelligence

By
Posted in Uncategorized

2016-nissan-altima-interior-leather-wrapped-steering-wheel

Car design is an art form, and remains critical to establishing a brand. Every manufacturer has its own unique lines and shapes that allow consumers to distinguish different companies, much like a painter’s brush strokes. However, with the recent demand for more and more features and tech, creating an all-encompassing design has been getting increasingly difficult. Because of this Nissan is taking a bold step into developing an artificial intelligence that can design a car on its own from pictures and design specifications.

 

Imagine this: a company wants to add a USB port for charging or playing music to a center display. Sounds simple right? But you can’t just stick it anywhere; it needs to be easily accessible, not displace another button or port and wiring—and software needs to be added to make it run correctly. Every change shifts the entire design, and this is where Nissan’s AI steps in. A computer can much more easily calculate the adjustments and added stress that will be put on the vehicle from a relatively simple change, and with enough data can even correct for this by changing materials or moving other parts. This would happen in a matter of seconds or minutes, which could take days for a human.

 

While this AI is currently in the testing phase, results are promising. The computer has already been able to create a design for a never before seen car, and while it was not perfect, it’s a strong head start.

 

To take a look at some of Nissan’s cars designed by human engineers, come visit us at Coast Nissan.  We have a great selection of new and pre-owned vehicles here, and we’re ready to help you find the perfect one for you!

Nissan Rogue

2017 is looking to be an exciting year for changes and fresh takes on car models. While many companies have dubbed 2017 as the “Year of the Truck,” and there does seem to be a focus on the pickup class, not everyone needs a truck for everyday driving. Many people are searching for family sedans or SUVs that comfortably fit five and still have space for groceries and luggage. That’s why Nissan has been dedicated to reinventing the 2017 Nissan Rogue, and debuted their changes at the Miami Auto Show.

 

The Nissan Rogue is a small SUV that has continually offered the best in family travel. The newest Rogue has a number of improved safety features, such as integrated fog lamps and better rear lights to clearly illuminate the way forward or backward. The on board computer has been updated with Safety Shield technology to help increase driver awareness. This technology actively scans for pedestrians and can automatically brake if a collision is eminent. You also have no need to worry about wandering from your lane while using the intelligent cruise control thanks to lane departure warning systems.

 

The 2017 Rogue is available in three different trim levels that all offer the choice between front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The newest trim level available for the first time is a Rogue Hybrid, which blends the small SUV design with a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly electric motor and gasoline hybrid. This engine provides a chart topping 33 mpg city and 35 mpg highway to ensure you rarely have to stop to refuel. This is an improved 5 mpg over the regular engine, and also helps to lower emissions.

2015 Nissan LEAF

Being more environmentally friendly is a great goal, and there are many easy ways to help out. Anything from recycling to installing more energy efficient lightbulbs can help you save the planet, as well as help out your wallet. An addition to the market within the last few years has been electric cars, which don’t require any gasoline; you just change the battery and drive away. Nissan has been a pioneer in this field with the Leaf, which sports better driving range than any other electric car on the market. Nissan is always looking to help encourage more drivers to make the switch, and their No Charge to Charge programs has brought free charging stations all across America.

 

One of the concerns for many prospective electric car owners is the need to charge the battery pack after driving for too long. One way to fix this problem is simply to improve the mile range of the cars, which has been continually growing as the technology is better understood and implemented. Nissan is going above and beyond the call, however by installing efficient charging stations for its electric car owners.

 

These charging stations are located all around the country, with Nissan estimating there are within 10 miles of 90 percent of owners. The Leaf can be powered from 0 to 80 percent in under 30 minutes, thanks to these highly efficient stations, allowing drivers to quickly power up while at the store or at work. All new Leaf owners will receive an EZ-Charge Full Access Card which offers an unlimited number of charges for the first two years at charging locations, which are easily searchable online or through an app. Nissan estimates this will save drivers around $1,000, as well as reduce emissions. To join in on this unparalleled program, come see us at Coast Nissan to experience the Nissan Leaf.

The Full Size Nissan Armada Is A Luxury To Drive

By
Posted in Uncategorized

NIssan Armada 2

The full size SUV is a unique class of car. These vehicles are designed around one concept: high capacity. And this concept applies to every aspect of the car, most notably though the storage capacity, passenger capacity and towing capacity. The full size SUV is a big step up from the mid-size SUV, which generally cannot effectively tow and the seating can be compressed. The 2017 Nissan Armada is also a big step up from other full size SUVs, featuring luxury interior design and technology while still going toe to toe with competitors in any challenge.

 

The Nissan Armada has often been described as a “double-duty SUV” thanks to its comfortable seating for eight and remarkable ability to tow up to 8,500 pounds. This towing capacity rivals that of many trucks on the market today, and its capabilities come from the 390-hp 5.6-liter V-8 engine. This is a big step up from the previous Armada, and is possible due to the implementation of direct injection and variable valve timing. The car is also available in all wheel drive in seven-speed automatic to navigate any rough surfaces or terrain that you encounter.

 

The true beauty of the Nissan Armada comes in the luxurious interior that features three rows of seating with ample cargo space. The biggest change for this model year is the removal of hard plastic in favor of clean padded surfaces that are more comfortable and nicer to look at. The base model includes a navigation system, a Bose stereo system and a rearview camera to help maneuver when towing or backing out of a parking space. Other packages offer added leather, larger wheels, heated and cooled seating controls and rear entertainment screens for the kids to enjoy. To experience luxury, power and of course high capacity, check out deals on the 2017 Nissan Armada at Coast Nissan. We want to be your dealership!

The Nissan Frontier Combines Great Towing With Maneuverability

By
Posted in Uncategorized

NIssan frontier

Midsize pickup trucks fill a special niche in the automotive industry. Often people want a truck with a large towing capacity, but without the extra bulk and length of a full-size pickup. Midsize trucks are more maneuverable and easier to navigate tight corners with than larger trucks, but also have a solid sized bed and towing capabilities. Nissan is one of the oldest manufacturers of midsize pickups, so it’s no surprise the Nissan Frontier is the best in its class.

 

The Nissan Frontier is an adventurous truck with seating for the whole crew and a sizeable bed and towing rating. The truck has available 152 horsepower four cylinder or 261 horsepower V-6 engine, the latter of which can tow up to 6,300 pounds, similar in strength to many full-size trucks. Other important options include rear or four-wheel drive, a feature to consider if you expect to do some off-road trekking. You can also choose between a 4.75 or 6-foot bed depending on how much gear your sport of choice takes.

 

On the interior, the Frontier has received a number of improvements in its latest remodel. The truck has removable under-seat storage in case you are hauling some extra equipment and need to room for passengers. Leather upholstery and heated seats are also available, along with a backup camera to help ease into those tight spaces at the parking garage. The truck also has made safety improvements beyond the required front airbags and antilock brakes, including side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags to protect all passengers.

 

The midsize pickup market may be small, but the Nissan Frontier fits it quite well. If you are looking for an adaptable and rugged truck with great maneuverability, come test drive a 2016 Nissan Frontier with the incredible Sales team at Coast Nissan.

The Nissan Maxima Introduces Luxury To The Sedan Class

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissasn max

The full size sedan is one of the most common cars on the market. These four door semi-sporty cars are highly popular among families, due to their affordability, compact size and safety features. But what many sedans lack is luxury and style, and those two words probably don’t come quickly to mind if someone mentions a family vehicle. Fortunately, with the Nissan Maxima, you don’t have to compromise between enjoyment and family friendliness.

 

The Maxima is a bestselling staple of the Mazda lineup and for good reasons. While it may appear to be your average compact car, the Maxima’s plethora of features and gorgeous interior will quickly change your mind. The intricate details really make the interior dazzle; hints of suede, diamond-patterned stitching and a smooth metallic trim all accent the comfortable and roomy seating. The lights set the mood perfectly with ambient lighting for the display and by the doors. The display itself is a nice eight-inch touchscreen with built in route guidance to help navigate to your destination. A subtle but critical addition is the extra sound insulation that minimizes outside noise for a quiet and calm ride every time.

 

Not only is the Maxima luxurious, but its engine power and safety features leave nothing to be desired. The 3.5-liter V-6 monster of an engine effortlessly powers the car forward and outputs a whopping 300 horsepower. The Maxima also has a Drive Mode Selector which can transition the car to sport for better shifting, steering and engine response. Combine this with automated emergency braking and stability enhancement, and you have a safe but fun to drive sedan.

 

If you want a family car infused with just the right amount of luxury and sportiness, come test drive a Nissan Maxima at Coast Nissan. We want to be YOUR dealership.

Nissan Teams Up With Uber To Make Driving Cleaner

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissasn leaf

With all the new taxi and app-based driving services nowadays, getting where you want to go is easier than ever. The advent of services such as Uber and Lyft allow people to easily schedule a ride to and from almost anywhere. These companies allow drivers to use their own cars to earn money and help passengers save money on travel. At the end of August however, Uber partnered with Nissan in order to provide a more environmentally friendly ride through the use of the Nissan Leaf.

 

Electric cars are a great way to reduce emissions and save on gas, so they are potentially the perfect fit for a worldwide driving service such as Uber. This new program will allow the best-rated Uber drivers to lease the Nissan Leaf at the lowest rental rates instead of being forced to use their own car. The first test of this program will be conducted in the UK, where emission rates are being cracked down on due to the pollution problems in the city. Over a three-month period, The Energy Savings Trust will monitor 20 Nissan Leafs for driving patterns, user experience and the overall economics of using an electric car. As UK Uber Manager Jo Bertram added, “People already associate Uber with hybrid cars, but we want to go a big step further with fully electric cars.”

 

It’s no secret why the Nissan Leaf is the ideal electric car for this project; the car was a pioneer in affordable and efficient electric car manufacturing. The Nissan Leaf was one of the first electric cars available, and since its debut in 2011 Nissan has only been improving the Leaf through newer technology. For the 2016 model year, the Leaf has the highest range of any electric car, which will help it manage any farther away destinations for Uber. To see how Nissan is breaking ground with this car both in 2011 and 2016, come test drive one for yourself at Coast Nissan.
