Nissan Tests The Limits Of Fuel Efficiency With E-Power Engine

shutterstock_191693912

When choosing a new car to buy, you take into account a number of different factors. Qualities such as design, interior material choice and horsepower all can play a big role in deciding if a certain vehicle fits your lifestyle well. One of the most important traits to consider however is the gas mileage, which can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the course of the car’s lifetime. Nissan’s new e-Power engine, which can be found on the upcoming Nissan Note, is looking to be a revolutionary development as it has drastically boosted the fuel economy of the car.

 

The e-Power engine is a replacement for traditional combustion engines, and works in a slightly different way. It still makes use of a combustion system, but it takes that energy and uses it to power an electric motor that drives the car forward. The first test prototype of this engine also rivals the horsepower and torque output of internal combustion engines, allowing you to save on gas without losing any driving power or acceleration. Thanks to this engine’s S mode, it can reduce gas consumption by operating at the lowest revs.

 

So just how much can this engine save you? The latest test drive on the streets of Yokohama yielded an average of a whopping 88 miles per gallon. This is easily over 50 miles per gallon more than most hybrid sedans in the U.S. and 60 more than traditional gas-powered cars. If you think that may just be one test drive, the official, JCo8-sanctioned consumption is 87.5 miles per gallon. Even over rough terrain such as hills, the car still gets over 50 miles per gallon.

 

The latest #NissanNote equipped with e-Power will be available for purchase at Coast Nissan in the near future. You can check out all our current deals and extensive inventory in person or online at www.coastnissan.com.

The New Nissan Versa Is A Perfect Economic Sedan

Nissan versa

In the world of sedans, there is no shortage of different makes and models. In fact, the market has been so completely flooded with these compact cars that it can be difficult to stand out from the rest. But standing out from the competition has never been a problem for the Nissan Versa, which has received upgrades to its design and features in 2017.

 

The #NissanVersa, which comes in both a sedan or a hatchback to meet your specific needs, is a long standing veteran that has proven itself to be worth much more than its low price point would suggest. The Versa is one of the most economic sedans available right now, with a low base price and a fuel economy that won’t tax your wallet and an estimated 31 city and 39 highway mpg. This is thanks to the engine, which has been equipped with continuously variable transmission to output a solid 109 horsepower, perfect for this lighter sedan.

 

Nissan has worked to upgrade the interior over the past year, expanding the back row of seats in order to make even more room for passengers and cargo. The Versa comfortably fits passengers into its small but deceptively spacious design. It also received a brand new grille and swept-back headlights for a bolder look that is reminiscent of the larger Altima, another one of Nissan’s best-selling sedans.

 

To experience a test drive in the Nissan Versa or any other sedan in our extensive line-up, visit our friendly sales team at Coast Nissan. You’ll find top of the line deals and fantastic service from our staff, and you can also visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Complete Coverage of the Nissan Maxima – III

Maxima

Well, we know that the 2016 Nissan Maxima has great a great interior and a great exterior. But, none of that matters if the vehicle doesn’t have the right heart. Luckily, the Maxima has something fantastic to offer under the hood.

It is powered by a new 3.5 liter V-6 that’s mated to an Xtronic transmission. The Xtronic transmission also happens to be performance oriented. Almost 60% of the parts used in the drivetrain are completely new compared the older V-6.

As a result, the new engine puts out 300 horsepower and 261 pound feet of torque. That’s around 10 horsepower more than the previous engine. That’s a good bump in power.  However, that’s not the best part. The best part is the engine’s fuel efficiency. Nissan has managed to achieve a 15% boost in fuel economy, despite the increase in power.

So, now, the Maxima offers 30 miles to the gallon on the highway and 22 miles to the gallon on city roads.

It is also one of the more powerful sedans in its class. In comparison to the Toyota Avalon, the Maxima offers 32 horsepower more and when compared to the Chevrolet Impala, it only lacks a mere 3 horses. Also, acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is estimated to be around 6 seconds, which makes it faster than both, the Avalon and the Impala.

Tips for Buying the Right Nissan

Nissan

Japanese car manufacturer Nissan Motor Company has built a reputation for itself for designing cars that are efficient, easy on the pocket, safe, and environmentally friendly. Thanks to their superior models, this brand has climbed the ranks to becoming the sixth-largest car maker in the world.

When you are considering the purchase of a Nissan car or SUV, you have to first decide what model suits you best. Undoubtedly, every one of Nissan’s products is world-class and is equipped with cutting-edge features, but you still have to narrow your choices down. Here are some tips that could help you decide on the right Nissan for you:

The first thing on your agenda is to learn of the models’ features. If you can bring your choices down to a handful, it will become much easier for you to understand and compare features. Some of the features you need to focus on are exteriors, interiors, safety, and engine options. Once you have all the features on hand, you could easily decide which car checks all or most of your boxes. Another feature is the fuel economy of the vehicle. A lower mileage can slowly eat through your wallet.

Your next step in deciding on your perfect Nissan is by deciding between a new or a used car. Nissan makes durable and reliable vehicles, so you do not have to think twice about buying a used car if you cannot afford a brand new one. You could contact a few dealerships for what models they are selling and their respective price tags.

Once you have completed these steps, you are pretty much set to making the right choice. Visit Coast Nissan to learn more about the new and used models of Nissan cars and SUVs available for sale.
