Nissan Reveals New Developments All Around The World

Nissan

One of the biggest struggles that any car company can face is managing sales and research projects from all around the globe. Every country has different laws and taxes on imports and exports, along with varying emission standards. Nissan has recently made big strides in development and manufacturing in several different countries, including Japan, the UK and the United States, which is a big reason why Nissan is the fastest growing car brands in the world.

Japan:

Over at the Tokyo Auto Salon, Nissan brought several new performance models and prototypes. They were expected to bring the new NISMO GT-R, but Nissan also showed off NISMO versions of the Juke, Fairlady Z and the March. #NISMO is Nissan’s performance car division, and they add more horsepower, better handling and more interior features to already successful cars. These cars not only look better, but also run more smoothly and efficiently.

 

United Kingdom:

Across the globe in London, Nissan is putting the final touches on its first test of a driverless car. This will be the first autonomous car to hit the streets in Europe, and will be a great look at Nissan’s new self-driving technology. This car is a modified Nissan Leaf that has added sensors and cameras in order to analyze how the traffic around the vehicle is changing and how best respond.

 

United States:

Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn recently announced that they and many other manufacturers will likely be expanding U.S. production in the near future. Toyota and Kia have already announced multibillion dollar investments, and in order to stay competitive Nissan will need to as well. Nissan already has four factories with over 22,000 employees, and further investment will create even more jobs. It should also lead to price reductions on most cars, like the popular Nissan Altima or Nissan Rogue.

 

You don’t have to go all around the globe though to experience the best of what Nissan has to offer though; simply head over to Coast Nissan. Our selection of new and pre-owned cars, Nissan leases and Nissan service is unrivaled, so check us out on the web at www.coastnissan.com.

Keep Your Car Secure With These Easy-To-Follow Tips

shutterstock_191693912

Car theft is one of the easiest ways to lose the investment that you have made in your vehicle. Any parking lot or side street is a potential threat to the security of your car, and in most cases #stolen vehicles are unable to be retrieved. In order to prevent this tragic crime, here are some simple steps to protect your vehicle from Coast Nissan:

 

  1. The easiest way to protect your car is simply to remember to lock the doors and make sure all windows are up. Get in the habit of checking if you pressed that button; it only takes a few seconds.

 

  1. Try to avoid leaving your car unattended, especially if it is still running. These cars are easy targets, even if you are only gone for a few minutes.

 

  1. When parking at night, choose a well-lit and occupied area. If that lot has security cameras or a security guard, even better. You also should avoid leaving any valuables in plain sight, as it only makes your car a more lucrative target. Try storing them under seats or bring them with you.

 

  1. Don’t leave the vehicle title or a spare key lying around the car. Thieves know where to look for these and it will only help them in avoiding being caught.

 

  1. There are many vehicle immobilizer systems that you can purchase, including fuel-cut off systems and smart keys. This will prevent the car from moving, even if the thief bypassed the ignition by hot wiring the car.

 

  1. In the event your car is stolen, having a GPS tracking system installed will help the police recover the car much faster, which is very important when it comes to vehicle thefts. The farther away the perp can get then the less likely you will see your car again. There are several affordable and effective GPS trackers you can buy, many of which will link directly to your smartphone.

 

At Coast Nissan, we want to keep you and your vehicle safe and secure. Our dealership offers premium Nissan service, including oil changes and tire rotations, so let our expert car technicians take care of your vehicle. Our San Luis Obispo car dealership also offers a wide selection of new and pre-owned Nissan models, which you can view at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Pushes For Bolder And More Modern Sedan Look

2017 is already looking to be a fantastic year for car companies and consumers, with a slew of new models and changes being revealed. So much has already happened, from the Consumer Electronics Show to the latest North American International Auto Show, and manufacturers like Nissan have already shown off some interesting prototypes. Nissan’s latest creation is a new concept car that is focused more on visual appearance rather than a high powered engine. Come take a closer look at the V-motion 2.0 model that looks to shake up the sedan class.

 

Over that last couple of design cycles, Nissan has been putting more emphasis on #personalization and visual beauty. One of the biggest reasons for this is the approach of autonomous cars, which when used will lessen the importance of the driving experience. That’s not to say Nissan models aren’t fun to drive; each car has an engine that is perfectly tuned to maximize performance while still maintaining a high fuel efficiency. The look of a car will always be important, no matter who is driving the car, and this V-motion 2.0 design is certainly eye catching.

Nissan V-Grille

This feature is an improvement on the already established V-motion grille, which can be found on most Nissan models today. This update will stretch the “V” grille further along the front of the car, creating sharp edges and powerful lines, which Nissan describes as, “emotional geometry.” The larger grille also has the added bonus of providing more airflow to the engine, which can naturally cool it down. New lights and glowing LEDs have also been added to indicate when the car is in autonomous mode.

 

At Coast Nissan, we’re excited about the new technology on the horizon. Coast Nissan is the number one San Luis Obispo car dealer for buying a new or pre-owned Nissan model thanks to our personalized customer car. We will do everything we can to make sure your new car or Nissan service is just how you like it, so check us out online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Shares Its Vision Of The Future Of Cars

nissan logo 1

The 2017 North American International Auto Show, or NAIAS for short, brought together numerous car manufacturers and designers for some engaging discussions in the future of transportation. CEOs and lead engineers presented in front of large crowds at the event, including Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. Ghosn is one of the most vocal leaders of the car industry, and in his talk he listed numerous areas that must be addressed in the coming future. Notably, he focused on four topics: electric cars, autonomy, self-driving cars and applications.

 

Electric Cars: These small but efficient vehicles have been around for a long time, and making sure they are more affordable and have a longer range in the future is critical. A battery powered car has no emissions and can be charged in as little as 30 minutes. The 2017 Nissan Leaf is a great example.

 

Autonomy and Self Driving Cars: These two are generally grouped together, as #autonomous cars only require minimal human input. Many automakers have pledged to make these commercial available by 2020, including Nissan, and Ghosn urged others to stick to that promise. They will definitely be the face of driving in the future.

 

Applications: As smartphones become better integrated with cars, we can begin to use them more efficiently than ever. Voice activated commands and the ability to add events to your calendar are just a few of features companies are researching. The possibilities are endless if every car can be connected to each other. It will also make self-driving cars safer if they can communicate with other vehicles.

 

Nissan has always been a proud innovator and leader, so stop by Coast Nissan today to see why our cars are the best you can buy. Our San Luis Obispo car dealership has all the newest 2017 models along with quick and effective Nissan service, so check us out online at www.coastnisssan.com.

Explore The Galaxy In A Brand New Nissan Rogue

Nissan Rogue 2017 1 Since the invention of the television, ads have been a big part of spreading the word about a new product or service. Ads and commercials have come a long way since then, and most now feature a captivating narrator and some interesting graphics or special effects. Car commercials are one of the most common types you will see, and they help show all the new features or tech on the latest models. Currently, the Nissan Rogue has partnered with Star Wars to create the most viewed commercial so far, which also illustrates the vehicle’s amazing safety features.

 

A big part of a car’s success comes from how it is advertised, along with how the vehicle lives up to those expectations. Nissan’s latest video for the Rogue shows it traversing a chaotic Star Wars battle, with zooming spaceships, large walkers and tons of blaster fire. This commercial holds the number one views spot, with around 3.4 million according to Visible Measures. And while the visuals are great to look at, the spot also highlights the safety features on the car like emergency forward braking and blind spot detection.

 

At one point, the car is stopped by the emergency forward braking system as a robot stumbles out into the road in front of the #Rogue. This could easily happen on any city street or even if a car suddenly shifts into the space in front of you on a highway. Emergency forward braking will look out for these unexpected obstacles and automatically bring the car to a halt. Additionally, the blind spot warning and rearview detection software keeps track of all the cars moving around you, so you don’t have to worry about making a lane change.

Nissan Rogue 2017 2

At Coast Nissan we can show you all these safety features and more on the all-new 2017 Nissan Rogue. Come take a test drive with one of our sales staff, or check out our fantastic Nissan leases and Nissan service online at www.coastnissan.com.

Remain Safe On The Road With Some Easy Brake Pad Tips

shutterstock_191693912

 

There are many important parts to your car, including the engine, steering wheel, tires and many others. All these parts eventually need replacing or fixing depending on the wear and tear that they experience. Flat tires need to be swapped out for new ones, and an engine needs new oil and gas to keep it running smoothly. One of the most forgotten about components is the brakes, which people often just assume will always be there, but still need the same sort of care and attention.

 

Most car braking systems, including those found in cars like the Nissan Altima, have either 4 or eight brake pads depending on their size and towing capabilities. The braking mechanism itself isn’t too complicated, and involves the release of pressurized braking fluid when you press down on the pedal. The fluid then pushes against the brake pad, which pushes down the brake rotor and creates the friction necessary to stop. Because you are constantly using your brakes, the pads eventually get worn down thinner and thinner, so they need to be replaced around every 1 to 1.5 years. The fluid also needs to be changed out.

 

There are a couple of signs that your Nissan’s pads need to be changed. The most noticeable and attention grabbing is a grinding, squealing or screeching that is emitted when the pedal is depressed. The steering wheel could also be vibrating and the brake pedal itself may be lower than usual. Many Nissan’s also come equipped with a sensor that activate a light when the pads are getting thin.

 

It is important for your safety and others’ to ensure your brake pads will work, so let us give you a hand with all your Nissan service needs at Coast Nissan. Our San Luis Obispo car dealer will help get your car in pristine driving condition, so visit us in store or online at www.coastnissan.com.

Look For New Sharable Car Stations Powered By The Nissan Leaf

Nissasn leaf

 

One of the biggest advantages of both electric and autonomous cars is their ability to create a sharable and social rental network. There already exist many bike and scooter rental locations in larger cities that allow tourists and locals to navigate around the cities with ease. It’s not surprising this would eventually extend to cars. The electric cars like the Nissan Leaf offer the perfect opportunity for this new kind of service, and the Leaf’s exceptional range and mobility make it one of the most attractive choices for this role.

 

For any car that is to be shared amongst people, there are a couple of big requirements. The first is that it must be fuel efficient in order to cut down of fuel costs. Fortunately, you can’t get more fuel efficient than an electric vehicle, as they only use a battery as the source of charge. This means no one person gets stuck having to pay twenty or thirty bucks for a new tank of gas if they want to use the car. Additionally, the car must be easy to drive, so a sedan like the #Leaf is a much better option than a traditionally bulkier SUV or truck.

 

Already these stations are beginning to pop up around the United States. In Tennessee, you can rent one of these cars for nine dollars an hour or forty-five a day after signing up for the program. This system will make cars more accessible, reduce emissions and most importantly provide a new source of public transportation. The stations you pick up the car are even charging stations, so you never have to worry about running out of juice.

Drive Safely And Securely With The Nissan Sentra

nissan logo 1

 

When it comes to sedans, one of the most important aspects for families and single drivers alike is the safety rating. A sedan is meant to be a compact and economic choice for drivers, that will safely and swiftly get them to their destination. With each model year, safety technologies get more advanced, as the need to be with the increase in engine power. The new 2017 Nissan Sentra is not only one of the most affordable sedans on the market, but it also sports the best of Nissan’s latest safety developments.

 

The base #Sentra model starts at just under $17,000, and has many upgrade options depending on your driving style. The engine outputs around 125 horsepower and gets a substantial 29 mpg city and 37 mpg highway. It is responsive and readily accelerates to freeway speeds, while still saving you money at the pump. If you are looking for a bit more power from the engine, the SR Turbo package boosts it to 188 horsepower by adding a turbocharger and Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission. For some touches of luxury, try out the SL model, which includes a fine leather trim and a better equipment package.

 

The biggest incentive to buy a Sentra though is the total protection offered by Nissan Intelligent Safety Shield technologies. This includes a whole host of features like Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alerts and Forward Emergency Braking. The car actively scans the environment around you to detect movement from every angle and ensure that you know how cars are shifting about. This system will alert you if you are merging into an occupied lane, and can even automatically brake the car to avoid a collision.

 

Nissan Sentra

 

Our trained sales experts at Coast Nissan can help show you all these features and more when you come test drive a new or used Nissan Sentra. We also offer great financing and Nissan service on all our models, including a used Nissan Leaf, so find us online at www.coastnissan.com.
