Nissan Is Still The King Of The Electric Car Market

Nissan Electric

When it comes to electric car sales, the Nissan Leaf has been the reigning champ for many years. It was one of the first commercial electric vehicles introduced, and through its affordable price and extended range it has consistently outsold the competition. Moving into 2017, several companies released brand new electric cars that looked to be contenders for the title, but none have been able to beat the reliability and affordability that the Leaf offers. Come see why a Nissan Leaf from Coast Nissan remains the top electric car on the market.

 

Since 2008, people like Jose Pontes have been measuring the global market impact of electric cars. He is the primary data source for several technological journals and articles, and his recent EV Sales blog looked at trends from January and February of this year. During this period the Nissan Leaf was by far the world’s best selling #electric vehicle, beating out big names like Tesla and Chevy. In fact, the Nissan Leaf outsold its competitors by about 8,000 units in these two months. This margin is expected to grow even more for the March and April data, as the remodeled 2017 Nissan Leaf was released during this period. The 2017 Leaf has substantially more range and a new cabin makeover.

 

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why the Leaf has performed so well, but there are several factors that have contributed. Its biggest appeal is affordability, which is a big factor for people to consider when making the switch to an electric car. Nissan also provides several incentives with a Leaf purchase, including two years of free charging at the thousands of stations that have recently been installed in major areas.

 

To learn more about all the benefits of driving a 2017 Nissan Leaf, come have a chat with our sales team at your San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. From exceptional Nissan service to expert advice on a new car purchase, www.coastnissan.com is the place to go for all your car needs.

Learn How To Spot Problems With Your Car’s Exhaust System

Car Exhaust Problems

In any car with an internal combustion engine, including diesel engines, exhaust is produced from the reactions that occur while driving. As gasoline or diesel fuel enter your car’s engine, power is created by combusting them at high temperatures. This moves your car forward, but it also creates exhaust, which is composed mostly of nitrogen gas, water vapor and carbon dioxide. Your car’s exhaust system ensures that this gas is safely pumped out of your vehicle’s engine, and problems can occur if this system malfunctions. At Coast Nissan, we can help you recognize these problems and get them fixed as soon as possible.

 

The muffler and #exhaust system both play an integral role in keeping your engine clean. One of the most common car problem occurs when the system stops diverting exhaust fumes out of the engine. Instead, they slowly build up and cause the engine to deteriorate faster, so make sure your regular inspections check for these problems.

 

Another major symptom of a damaged muffler is a strong vibration or a sudden loss of power in your car. This could be due to a hole or leak in the exhaust system, and the magnitude of the vibration depends on the size of the damaged area. A hole or leak will cause your motor to operate at suboptimal levels, and could lead to lowered fuel economy and permanent damage.

 

One of the most important problems to catch before it becomes too serious is a failing catalytic converter. If you notice a sound while the engine is idling that is similar to a box of coins being shaken, the catalytic converter is most likely damaged. If this problem is not fixed quickly, it could end up costing a significant amount of money.

 

If you ever have any questions about your vehicle or just need your car inspected by trained professionals, head over to a coastal Nissan dealership. We offer fast and affordable Nissan service that works with your schedule, so come to www.coastnissan.com today.

Explore All The Possibilities That Nissan’s Sedan Lineup Offers

Nissan Sedans

When it comes to sedans, many people believe they are all mostly the same, with few qualities that make them special or unique. Nissan’s latest lineup though can single handedly put such claims to rest; with all new features and looks for the 2017 Nissan Altima, Maxima and Sentra, you can find the sedan which best fits your needs.

The car is both powerful and efficient, with a 4-cylinder engine that is responsive and achieves 39 mpg on the open road.

Experience The Track Or The Highway In Your Own NISMO GT-R

It’s not often that a commercial car company develops a racecar that challenges the toughest competition, but Nissan has certainly embraced the challenge with its GT-R supercar. This car is a modified version of the 2017 GT-R, which you can find on sale today at Coast Nissan. With a 600-horsepower engine and a thunderous roar as it accelerates down the track, it’s not surprising that this car has earned the nickname “Godzilla.” To make this stunning car more accessible to everyday drivers, Nissan sent the model over to their NISMO specialists, who developed a version that everyone to enjoy.

 

Nissan’s NISMO division adds power and performance to cars that people love and transforms them into sporty machines. Nissan already introduced NISMO versions of the 370Z, Altima and even the all-electric Leaf, and with the GT-R supercar gathering attention from fans worldwide, it was an easy choice for the next project. The new #NISMO GT-R strikes a perfect balance between the hyper-customized supercar and the raw power of the base GT-R model.

 

Working with the already impressive 565-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 engine, Nissan installed numerous upgrades to the body for more precise handling. Along with the regular spot welds, the GT-R has had epoxy adhesive applied to several critical joints in order to ensure stability and create that razor-sharp handling that Nissan performance cars can deliver. It also features new front style fenders, reliable and sturdy 20-inch forged aluminum wheels and a unique dry carbon-fiber spoiler. Both inside and outside the NISMO GT-R has been adorned with a limited edition red and black color treatment that looks stylish and is sure to grab people’s attention. As Nissan put it, “The new GT-R Track Edition gives buyers a specialized model, one true to GT-R heritage and available only by special order.”

 

To learn exactly how you can be an owner of these special models, head in to your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. Once you receive your new GT-R, we can help make sure it performs at maximum efficiency thanks to our variety of Nissan services, which you can find online at www.coastnissan.com.

Enjoy A Wide Variety Of Services From Coast Nissan

When the phrase “death and taxes” was coined, someone should have reminded them to add in car maintenance. Without a doubt, your brand-new car will eventually need an inspection, new tires or a quick checkup to keep it running smoothly. The good news is that there is an easy and quick, one-stop shop for all your car care needs: Coast Nissan. No matter what your car needs, our dedicated service team is there to get it fixed and get you back on the road. Here are just some of the many Nissan services we provide:

 

Lube, Oil and Filter Change

For your car’s engine to operate correctly, it needs a constant supply of oil to lubricate the joints. Oil is constantly moving throughout the car, and over time it becomes less effective due to dust and other impurities. When this happens, getting an oil change will keep the engine running at maximum fuel efficiency.

 

Coolant and Transmission Flush

Much like your oil, your coolant and transmission gradually become less effective due to the presence of contaminants that enter your car’s system. The coolant is critical for maintaining a proper engine temperature, and if dirty could greatly reduce your fuel efficiency. The transmission fluid allows for smooth and quick gear shifts in both manual and automatic cars.

 

Electrical Service

Does that one light in your car blink continuously or not turn on when it should? Maybe one of your headlights isn’t as bright as it should be or even working at all. Our fully certified staff are trained to quickly diagnose the cause of problems in Nissan models and get it working like new.

 

Quality Licensed Parts

As a certified Nissan dealership, we can find exactly what part is needed to fix your car, and have it shipped to our dealership in no time. Once it arrives, you are welcome to install the part yourself or have one of our technicians do it for you.

 

When you need a part of your Nissan Altima fixed, trust the people who built the car and head on over to Coast Nissan. Our San Luis Obispo car dealership will make sure your car is fit to handle any challenge on the road ahead, and you can even schedule #service online at www.coastnissan.com.

Keep Your Family Safe By Driving A Nissan Altima

The classics bring up fond memories. Whether you are remembering your favorite song in high school or the old movies you used to watch as a kid, it’s easy to appreciate the things you loved while growing up. You probably even remember the type of car you drove as a teen, or that your parents drove during fun family vacations. The Nissan Altima can trace its origins back to the Nissan Bluebird line, which was released way back in 1957. The Altima is a long lasting and reliable sedan that your kids will remember riding in when they are 7 and getting to drive when they turn 16. Come down to Coast Nissan to see why the Altima is the ultimate family sedan.

 

When the term “family car” is mentioned, there are three main criteria that the car needs to meet: safety, comfort and affordability. A #familycar must above all else be safe, because in the event of an accident, you and your kids should be protected. The Altima is a master of both, preventing and dealing with accidents. Thanks to features like Blind Spot Warning, changing lanes is never a danger. With the Advanced Drive Assist display along with the 360-degree camera coverage, you always know where the cars are around you.

 

The interior of the Nissan Altima is perfect for both kids and adults. Everyone will feel comfortable in the rear seats because of the ample amount of legroom and wide seats. The Altima is slightly larger than most sedans, and the extra room allows every passenger to enjoy the ride more. The Altima is also one of the most economic sedans on the market today, and with a customized finance plan from Coast Nissan, we can make sure you are able to enjoy this exceptional model.

Make A Nissan Juke Design Of Your Own Using The Juke Color Studio

Typical hatchbacks and crossovers are designed with practicality in mind; they have great fuel economy and space, but often lack an aesthetic appeal. With most cars manufacturers are trying to fit in as many cool tech features as possible or maximize engine horsepower. It’s easy to neglect the visual beauty that can be achieved in car design. Fortunately, the Nissan Juke has been crafted to be fun and enjoyable to drive, with a spark of personality and the ability to be customized to your liking.

One of the most boring and tedious parts of the day for many people is the long drive to work or being stuck in traffic on the highway, but something about the Juke makes driving it irresistibly fun. The sharp handling means this car easily takes turns and corners, with its Turbo engine providing enough power to accelerate freely on an open road. Driving isn’t just about speed and turning though; the heated seats, auto climate control and a backup camera all make experiencing the road much more luxurious and enjoyable.

 

Unique Styling Options

The greatest appeal of the #Juke, however, is in the Juke Color Studio, a one of a kind customization tool that puts the paintbrush in your hands. Finding the perfect blend of your favorite colors is no longer a problem with the Juke, and you can mix and match a wide variety of paints and finishes to really make your Juke feel like a personal work of art.
