Nissan has a particular division responsible for the creation of their high performance and sport vehicles known as NISMO. This group was founded on the cornerstones of power, agility and technology, and they perfectly incorporate all three of these elements into every car. One of the longest standing NISMO models is the Z line, which has evolved over the years from its first model in 1969. The latest Nissan NISMO sports car, the 370Z, creates a unique and exhilarating driving experience at an incredibly affordable price point.

 

The 370Z NISMO Tech starts at a little over $46,000, and is so loaded with power and features that Business Insider called it, “…an incredible value for the money in sports cars.” The 350-horsepower V6 engine accelerates the car quickly to breathtaking speeds, while still maintaining the agility and precision that are so important in sports car design. This is why agility is a major focus area of NISMO, as speed is useless if you can’t safely and effectively control the car. The design allows for an aerodynamic and stylish look, which is accented by the powerful raised hood and integrated spoiler on the back.

 

The interior also will leave you breathless. Fine leather on the seats with a great color scheme is comfortable and will hold you snug at higher speeds. The infotainment system provides navigation assistance, multiple audio inputs, Bluetooth capabilities and smartphone connectivity. The trunk area even incorporates a hatchback into its design to provide enough room for suitcases and gear for a weekend getaway.

 

The #NISMO370Z was summed up as, “…easy on the wallet and fulfilling when you put the pedal down and dig into a corner.” This sports car is exciting and fun to drive, and you too can test drive one at Coast Nissan, or you can find all of our new 2017 models online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Works To Better Connect People And Cars

One of the more recent areas of study in the automotive industry is the theory of connected vehicles. Through specific design choices and software developments, car companies are looking to develop connectivity programs that work across all their models. This would allow for a better and simpler user experience over multiple cars, not just one. To do this, Nissan has announced new partnerships and the hiring of over 300 individuals to improve the current systems and integrate them in their many models.

 

Just like with social media, cars can allow people to be better connected with each other. By creating user friendly applications such as voice recognition calling and customizable alerts, Nissan keeps people in touch with others even while driving. This means a safer driving experience, as smartphone integration allows access to information without having to glance down every couple of seconds or fiddle with a small device. Newer Nissan models already allow for the car to notify drivers when they receive a call, email or text so you never miss an important moment. Navigation is also a major focus, as connecting to the latest traffic updates and road closures means you always are on the fastest route.

 

The biggest push Nissan is trying to make is the idea of a standard technology and connectivity across different companies. This would mean each car’s infotainment or media console works in a similar manner, allowing for a smooth transition between driving different vehicles. People who travel for work or vacation often need a rental car, and a standard design would mean you know how to operate it whether you are in a Ford or the all-new #NissanMaxima.

 

These innovative design principles are what keep Nissan’s cars at the forefront of technology and usability. Come test drive one of our award winning cars at Coast Nissan, or check us out on the web at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Sets Goal To Release Self-Driving Cars By 2020

When it comes to designing advanced features, car manufacturers can only get so far on their own. Most companies consist of automotive engineers who simply don’t have enough technological expertise to make new systems such as a self-driving car, at least on their own. That’s why partnerships with other companies are so important for promoting growth within the industry, as they allow for more complex ideas to be implemented. Nissan recently partnered with several companies to produce autonomous vehicles by 2020.

 

Beginning with a Microsoft partnership in late September, Nissan has continued to push the limits of car design with their own 300-person tech division, named Alliance Connected Vehicle and Mobility Services. This group will be focusing on three major areas: software development, cloud engineering and data analytics. These three have been identified as the biggest areas that need to be developed in order to produce self-driving cars, which Nissan plans to launch twelve of by 2020.

 

Software development is likely the most important area, as a car’s onboard computer needs to be able to properly incorporate all its features. Additionally, software is the “driver” of a self-driving car, scanning the road and making adjustments. Cloud engineering and data analytics go hand in hand, as mountains of data collected from different systems must be processed and examined in order for autonomous cars to “learn” how to drive.  To help with both of these, Nissan will be working with the firm Sylpheo as well as the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.

 

Nissan is continually improving its features through these partnerships, and it shows in cars like the Leaf and Altima. Come test drive our advanced cars at Coast Nissan, and you can also find our inventory online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Looks To Expand its Electric Car Lineup

Nissasn leaf

With technology rapidly advancing, car makers are scrambling to adapt to the coming changes. Self-driving and electric cars are the way of the future, according to expert analysts, and a number of CEOs have already announced new research investments and partnerships. Nissan is one of these companies, but fortunately they have been involved in electric car development since 2010. Nissan recently hinted at the production of a new electric car to complement the already successful Leaf.

 

Back in 2010, the idea of an electric car seemed foreign to most people. The limited battery life and weaker engine seemed like too much of a trade off from a conventional car. Early adopters however saw the potential in an energy efficient and zero-emission vehicle. Throughout the years the Leaf has evolved, and is now equipped with a battery that can support distances of over 100 miles. Additionally, the engine is responsive and the car feels good to drive. The new #2017Leaf even has new fast charging capabilities to get you powered up in a flash.

 

The rumored new electric car from Nissan is expected to fill a void in the current market: family seating. Right now most electric vehicles can only fit around four people, and the cargo space simply isn’t enough. The next car will likely be a hatchback for the added trunk capacity, an SUV for a more comfortable seating arrangement and enhanced storage space or a crossover, which would have the passenger space of an SUV but be lighter and more compact.

 

Look for the all new Nissan Leaf at a dealership near you, such as Coast Nissan. We can help you explore or test drive any of our wide selection of cars, and you can also find us online at www.coastnissan.com.
