Coast Nissan’s Hybrid And Electric Models Help You Save On Gas

By
Posted in Uncategorized

When it comes to saving money on gas, all you really need is a car with a hybrid or electric engine. Most of your fuel is used in stopping and accelerating the car during city driving, while on a highway it’s easy to maintain a certain speed. A hybrid car solves this problem by utilizing an electric motor at lower speeds and only switching to the more powerful combustible engine when going fast. This heavily boosts the fuel efficiency for hybrid and electric cars. To try out Nissan’s diverse hybrid lineup, including the Pathfinder, Rogue and Leaf, head to a San Luis Obispo car dealership such as Coast Nissan.

–

Nissan Rogue

The Nissan Rogue is Nissan’s best selling car overall in 2017 thanks to its hybrid engine and flexibility. As a crossover, the Rogue blends the line between the driving style of a sedan and the carrying capacity of a larger SUV. With plenty of seating, a large trunk and incredible safety features, this car works well for almost any family. The hybrid engine option boosts the fuel efficiency of the base model by 6 mpg, giving you more bang for your buck at the pump.

–

Nissan Pathfinder

For an even larger SUV, consider the Nissan Pathfinder, which makes use of its supercharged hybrid engine to achieve an impressive 26 combined mpg. The three rows of seating easily fit seven, and the Pathfinder is one of the only SUVs with a dynamic driving mode selector, which allows you to choose between 2WD, 4WD and Auto.

–

Nissan Leaf

If you want to never visit a gas station again, the Nissan Leaf runs solely on electricity and has no emissions. Charging takes as little as half an hour and Nissan has installed thousands of public charging stations around the U.S. as part of the No Charge to Charge program.

At Coast Nissan, our friendly sales team will help you find the right hybrid for your life, and can help answer questions along the way. From summer savings deals to top of the line Nissan service, you can find everything you need to get started at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan’s Improved Cruise Control Adapts To Other Drivers

By
Posted in Uncategorized

There are many new advancements coming to Nissan models this year, thanks to the time and money the company has invested into developing autonomous cars. Many features such as blind spot recognition have stemmed from this development, as engineers searched for a way to recognize if a car was in an adjacent lane. More and more of these autonomous features are being integrated into the 2018 lineup, such as the Nissan E-Pedal which improves regenerative braking. The latest advancement is an updated adaptive cruise and lane control system, so be on the lookout for the 2018 models arriving soon at Coast Nissan in San Luis Obispo, CA.

–

Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise control is a fantastic feature that makes driving on highways or long distances much easier on the driver. By simply accelerating to your desired speed and activating it, you can cruise along without needing to worry. The only time you need to slow down is if a car is moving slowly in front of you, but adaptive cruise control can automatically do this. Coupled with lane management technology, the adaptive system can keep you centered in the lane and automatically adjust the speed of the car to fit whoever you are following.

–

ProPilot Assist

While adaptive cruise control may seem like it’s a self-driving feature, it is meant to be an assistance system where the driver remains engaged with the road. It can offer a relief during heavy traffic or on road trips, but drivers still need to pay attention and remained focus. Road conditions can change in an instant, and even the best adaptive cruise control system can’t account for every scenario. Nissan commented that, “The driver’s role hasn’t changed. We are just providing assistance.”

Skim Boarding At Pismo Beach

Surfing is skillful art that takes time to master and can be hard to learn for beginners. Fortunately, Pismo Beach offers a unique alternative known as skim boarding that is best described as a cross between surfing and skateboarding. While surfing takes place in deeper water and with larger waves, skim boarding can be done right on the shoreline in just a couple of inches of water. Riders wait for the waves to come in and break the tide line, then jump on their boards and skim across the shallow water. It’s a surprising amount of fun and easy to learn.

–

Lopez Lake

Not all waterfront fun needs to take place at the ocean; the Lopez Lake Recreation Area is one of the top locations for rest and relaxation. With over 22 miles of shoreline and water temperatures that hover around 70 degrees, this small lake is perfect for cooling off or trying out a new water sport. From fishing to windsurfing to skiing, there is something for all to enjoy at Lopez Lake. It even has several scenic camping and picnicking spots.

Try Out Nissan’s New E-Pedal On 2018 Models At Coast Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With many car companies now producing an electric vehicle, Nissan is working on more ways to make the Nissan Leaf truly stand out from the competition. The Leaf was one of the first electric cars to break the 100 mile range mark, and it has always been one of the most affordable electric cars on the market. Lately, Nissan has been improving upon its regenerative braking process that allows the car to regain power. The next-gen Nissan Leaf will feature this brand new e-Pedal, which you can try for yourself at a coastal Nissan dealership in San Luis Obispo.

–

What Is Regenerative Braking?

Regenerative braking is a surprisingly simple process that allows an electric car to regain power when slowing down or traveling on an incline. In regular braking systems, the car is simply brought to a stop by applying pressure to the wheels, in the this process all the kinetic energy goes to waste. In regenerative braking, the kinetic energy is either stored or immediately converted into a form that can be used when speeding up again. This makes the car far more energy efficient and also extends the life of your brakes, saving you money on repairs.

–

One Pedal System

One of the biggest changes that regenerative braking makes is only having one pedal for both accelerating and decelerating. To go faster, simply press down as normal. Releasing will slow the car down and bring it to a stop, even on slopes such as hills. When you are ready to go again, the car will resume driving with nearly no delay. The e-Pedal can take some time getting used to, which is why it is completely optional and activated by flipping a switch.

The e-Pedal will allow skilled drivers to extend the range of the 2018 Leaf even further, which will soon be available at Coast Nissan for a test drive. Our San Luis Obispo car dealer also offers great deals on all new and used Nissan models, which you can find online at www.coastnissan.com.

Stay Safe When Driving In The Summer With Regular Nissan Service

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Many people talk about the dangers of driving in the winter and how it can affect your vehicle, but the summer heat also takes a heavy toll on your car. Extended road trips and vacations are more common and the hot roads make the added wear and tear even worse. While it may not be as immediately hazardous as icy roads, it’s important to keep in mind and adjust your Nissan service schedule in order to account for the added stress. Bring your car into a San Luis Obispo car dealership like Coast Nissan today to stay safe during the summer months.

–

Tire Damage

You should always monitor your car’s tire pressures and ensure they are properly inflated, but it is even more critical during the summer. Overinflated or underinflated tires are more prone to damage and can reduce your gas mileage on longer trips. Underinflated tires are especially dangerous as more of their surface area is in contact at any given time, and on a hot road they will heat up much faster. This can lead to a blowout and greater damage to the treads, so have them checked once a month at Coast Nissan.

–

Battery

Both hot and cold weather can shorten your car battery’s life. On road trips, there is also added vibration that can damage the battery, so be sure to carry around a set of jumper cables in the event of a failure.

–

Coolant

Your engine needs to constantly be cooled as it builds up heat while driving. During the summer months, it heats even faster and low coolant levels can cause permanent engine damage if it is allowed to get too hot. Have your car checked for worn horses or a malfunctioning radiator during your next visit.

Along with high quality Nissan service from trained professionals, you can find great deal on all your favorite models at Coast Nissan. To book your next appointment visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Distracted Driving

If you have a passenger, consider giving them the phone if navigation is needed.

–

Weather

Hazardous road conditions can be caused or made worse by bad weather, so it is important to take a look at the forecast before heading out. Take special care on roads with construction or narrow lanes, and always leave extra distance behind cars as your brakes are less effective on watery roads. If the weather gets too bad, consider pulling off the road or not heading out until the storm passes by.

–

Seat Belts

They can be easy to forget, but seat belts can save the lives of everyone in the car in the event of a collision. It is required by law, and you should always make sure every passenger has fastened their safety harness before taking off.
