Save Money This Summer With Nissan’s Fuel Efficient Lineup

With gas prices rising during the summer and more dangerous ozone levels, people are on the lookout for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. There are plenty of easy steps you can take at home; from recycling more often to using fewer plastic bags when you go to the grocery store. Every little bit makes a difference. One of the largest sources of pollution is transportation, and there are many older vehicles that are less fuel efficient than current models. Come in to a San Luis Obispo car dealer like Coast Nissan today and let us show you a few ways that our Nissan models are helping to reduce pollution.

Nissan Rogue

The 2017 Nissan Rogue is the latest addition to Nissan’s #hybrid lineup, and since its release has quickly become one of our top selling cars. The crossover design is streamlined and aerodynamic, which makes traveling on highways or in high winds less taxing on the car. It also means you have the flexibility to choose between extra seating or additional cargo space. The new hybrid engine option on the Rogue boosts its fuel economy to an EPA estimated 34 mpg combined and, thanks to the electric component, driving on city roads is essentially emission-free.

Nissan Leaf

A hybrid engine is more environmentally friendly than a regular combustion engine, but if you want to go truly emission-free, that is a job for an electric car. Thanks to Nissan’s latest battery technology, this small but efficient car can drive for over 100 miles without recharging, and there are plenty of free recharging stations scattered around the country thanks to Nissan’s No Charge To Charge program.

To test drive these two models and see all the benefits they can offer to your daily driving routine, head over to a coastal Nissan dealership. From great customer service to personalized finance plans, we work hard to make sure your car buying experience goes smoothly, so visit us on the web at www.coastnissan.com.

Share Your Outdoor Adventures With Nissan’s Upcoming Drone And Car Combination

Nissan Events

Nowadays, people want to capture all the exciting moments they experience. Whether it’s with a fancy camera at a wedding or just a simple selfie by the beach, these photos or videos allow us to look back on all of our adventures and share them with others. While it’s easy to take a photo of yourself, capturing the off-road capabilities of a car is rather difficult with a normal camera. To help people share their auto adventures, Nissan has combined one of their advanced crossovers with the power of a remote-control drone. Head over to Coast Nissan, a coastal Nissan dealer in SLO, to learn more about this attractive duo.

This drone and car combination was first marketed in Europe, but it will soon cross oceans to San Luis Obispo car dealers like Coast Nissan. The car included in the package is the Nissan Pathfinder, which is a crossover specifically designed for handling the treacherous terrain found on many trails. The crossover design provides a flexible interior that can hold many passengers, heavy amounts of cargo or a mix of both. The 284 horsepower engine propels the car easily over any bumps or elevated rocks, and the tires are specifically designed and reinforced to handle such obstacles. It also comes with the NissanConnect infotainment system that offers satellite navigation and premium sound quality.

The infotainment system is designed to directly communicate with the Parrot Bebop 2 drone that is included. You can see exactly what the #drone sees through the display, and the drone can be programmed to follow in certain ways. Using the “follow me” GPS, the drone can track the car as it moves, capturing video footage or pictures of your outdoor travels. This also helps to give a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area.

San Luis Obispo is filled with gorgeous forests and beautiful beaches, which are perfect for filming with this dynamic drone and car duo. Our experts at Coast Nissan will help you find a great deal on this or any other Nissan model, so visit us at www.coastnissan.com.

Keep Your Tires At The Right Pressure To Avoid Added Problems

Tire Pressure

You rely on your tires every day to get you from place to place. Whether your route takes you over the smooth highways of San Luis Obispo or dirt paths, tires bear the brunt of the road. While tires naturally wear down from regular use, one of the biggest factors that can speed up this process is over or underinflation. Head in to Coast Nissan today and let us show you how to properly inflate your tires so they operate at peak condition.

Underinflation

Having too much or too little air in your tires in dangerous, but each causes a different problem for the car. Underinflation makes the tire less firm, which in turn causes more of the tire to be in contact with the road. This surface of contact is flatter and will accumulate heat at a much faster rate, reducing fuel efficiency and causing tires to wear down much faster.

Overinflation

As you might expect, overinflated tires are much more rigid and unyielding than they should be. Tires need to be able to have some leeway to bend to the road, but tires with extra air will hit each bump and hole hard. This makes your driving experience much rougher and the extra rigidity makes the tires more susceptible to punctures from sharp objects.

Each #Nissan has its own set of tires that have inflation levels that need to be met, but not exceeded. Be sure to check your car’s manual and a psi meter to determine the current pressure and add air if needed. We can perform this Nissan service, along with many others at a coastal Nissan dealership. You can easily schedule an appointment online or browse any of our new and used models at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Reveals A Smaller And Cheaper Nissan Rogue Alternative

The Nissan Rogue is on track to become Nissan’s best selling car for an entire year, a feat which was previously held by the Nissan Altima. This stylish and roomy crossover combines a high fuel economy with a luxurious interior that makes driving enjoyable. It even has a hybrid engine option that provides an even higher EPA mileage rating without having to compromise any power. Some drivers though don’t need the extra space that comes in a crossover, so Nissan is releasing the all-new 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport, a smaller SUV that will hit San Luis Obispo car dealers like Coast Nissan by June.

The #Rogue Sport will be a better fit for drivers that like the SUV design but could do without the extra storage space and size. This model is lighter and smaller, but also less expensive, making it a more appealing option for single drivers. The Rogue Sport will also include all the luxury and safety features that its big brother is known for, such as adaptive cruise control which can automatically adjust your speed to the speed of the car you are following. Additionally, the car sports the latest safety technology, including blind-spot alerts and autonomous front emergency braking to help prevent accidents.

The Nissan Sport is already a star in Europe thanks to its easy-to-park size and practical interior. With its migration to North America, the car will be perfect for city drivers who are seeking the features and design that a larger SUV offers, but at a more affordable price. Other notable features include the touch screen infotainment system that uses voice recognition, so you can adjust the song or change the radio station without having to take your hands off the steering wheel.

The Nissan Rogue Sport debuts this month at all coastal Nissan dealerships, so be on the lookout for some exciting release sales. At Coast Nissan, you can test drive any of our new or used models until you find a car you enjoy driving, so visit us in store or online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Works To Reduce Cases Of Distracted Driving

Distracted Driving

One of the leading causes of accidents in the United States today is distracted driving. All too often people try to text and drive or just glance down at their cell phone for just a brief second and end up hitting another car. It’s easy to think that a quick message check won’t hurt, but traffic on a busy road or highway can change in an instant. At Nissan, part of making better safety technology is finding innovative solutions, and at Coast Nissan, you will soon be able to find the Signal Shield, a creative, in-the-box answer to the cell phone problem.

While it is just a prototype for now, this new shielded armrest compartment will help drivers avoid checking their phones through a “digital detox.” This small box attaches to the driver’s armrest and blocks the phone inside from receiving any WiFi, Bluetooth or phone signals. This will remove the temptation to constantly be checking for new notifications or text messages, and it still lets drivers use many of the media functions of their device. A small hole provides just enough room for an auxiliary cable that can be hooked up to the car to play music or podcasts.

The #Signal Shield is a smaller version of a Faraday cage, which blocks any electromagnetic signals from entering or exiting the box. Using a cell phone while driving is illegal in several parts of the United States as well as other countries, and Nissan is hoping this device prevents unnecessary cases of distracted driving caused by smartphones. When asked about this project, a Nissan spokesman stated that, “Nissan is always looking at new ways of improving the safety and well-being of our customers.”

At our coastal Nissan dealership, you can test drive any of our models and experience all our latest safety features such as Blind Spot Monitoring. If you are looking for the best provider of new and used cars in San Luis Obispo head over to Coast Nissan or visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Get Your Nissan Sedan Or Crossover Off-Road Ready

Nissan Pathfinder

Traveling off-road is some of the most fun you can have in a car, and it also has many practical uses. There are plenty of camp sites and scenic destinations in San Luis Obispo that can be found just by heading down a dirt or gravel road. Going off-road gives you the chance to get away from the busy city traffic and spend some time surrounded by nature. The best part is that you don’t need a rugged jeep or truck like the Nissan Pathfinder to enjoy the rougher roads; with these few service tips from Coast Nissan you can transform your sedan or crossover into an off-road machine.

The most important car component to change for off-road exploration is your tires. They will be under the most stress from the uneven and rocky ground, and a set of all-terrain tires will make travel safer and smoother. Specialized tires have treads that are better suited for gripping loose surfaces, and are often wider than other tire models. A general guideline is that a smaller wheel should have more sidewall, which will greatly improve ride quality. All-terrain tires also are more resistant to punctures from sharp objects and rocks that you may come across while driving off-road.

Before you embark on any camping trip or other adventure, it is also important to make sure your car is running smoothly. At a coastal Nissan dealership, we can inspect your car for any leaks or fluids that need replacing, as well as give advice on what tire would be best for your model. We can also make sure your tires have been rotated and properly aligned, which will remove any added strain on your car.

Whether you need a simple oil change or a full inspection, our #Nissan service experts are there to keep your car running smoothly. You can find all our latest cars and save some time by making a service appointment online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Enters Partnership To Make Self-Driving Cars Safer And Smarter

Nissan Partnership

The debut of autonomous cars is drawing closer, and many companies like Nissan have shown of prototypes of their upcoming models. Earlier this year, Nissan invited people to experience an autonomous Leaf in London, taking willing participants out for a spin in a self-driving vehicle. Nissan is now turning its attention to making autonomous driving even safer and more efficient by teaming up with Mobileye in creating precision maps. Simply by allowing the car to travel around the city, Nissan will be creating detailed maps for their self-driving systems to use. At Coast Nissan, your San Luis Obispo car dealer, we can show you the benefits of this new system on our award-winning Nissan Leaf and other models.

Mobileye is company that creates customized computer chips that can help cars avoid collisions. Many cars have this technology already, and use it to detect when a forward collision will occur and automatically stop the car. By integrating these new mapping chips into autonomous cars and collaborating with other vehicles, a dynamic and detailed map of any city or highway can be created. This system benefits from the participation of as many companies as possible, and BMW and Volkswagen have also committed to this project.

A dynamic map that shows a real-time traffic flow would be extremely helpful for #autonomous systems, which could better analyze the movements of surrounding cars. This project also will help create a digital database of all the drivable paths and landmarks around the world, which would make navigation apps more consistent and accurate. It also allows for real-time reporting of accidents and instantaneous updates to the route that an autonomous car needs to follow.

While most companies promised these driverless cars by 2020, Nissan has already hinted at the release of a 2018 Nissan Leaf with self-driving features. When they do hit the market, be sure to stop by a coastal Nissan dealership or visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

The New Nissan Titan Offers A Practical And Versatile Driving Experience

Nissan Titan

One of the greatest benefits to owning a truck is their practicality both at work and simply driving around. It is hard to find a car that can tow heavy loads while still offering ample seating room and a pleasant driving experience. At Nissan, we design all our pickups, like the Nissan Titan, to have comfortable handling when navigating tight spaces while still packing the raw power and performance expected of a truck. The best place to test drive the all-new 2017 Nissan Titan and its different performance upgrades is at a Nissan San Luis Obispo dealership like Coast Nissan.

The best part about the Nissan Titan are the many upgrade options and packages that allow you to customize how you want your new pickup to perform. The first big choice is to go with a single or crew cab. The single cabin model is cheaper and still has all the important features and power of the crew cab, which is more spacious and a great choice for families. The crew cab version also has several different bed sizes you can select between if your job has you hauling around larger equipment.

Other upgrades to the Nissan #Titan focus on other aspects of the car. The SV package adds stylish chrome exterior trim and a specialized Trailer Sway Control feature, which is perfect for managing larger loads like trailers or mobile homes. It also comes with complimentary SiriusXM Satellite Radio. If you plan on heading off the beaten path or into the wilderness, the Pro-4X model comes with all-terrain off-road tires and improved Bilstein Shocks to improve the handling on uneven terrain. For a more luxurious drive, the SL Crew Cab features leather-appointed seats, a full NissanConnect technology package and a powerful Rockford Fosgate audio system to enjoy all your music.
