The Nissan Leaf Is Fuel Free And Fun!

August 19, 2016 By Admin

Posted in Uncategorized

The Nissan Leaf not only fairs pretty well in terms of energy efficiency and operational costs, but also has a striking appeal in its exterior and interior design.

The Leaf is available in five separate exterior colors namely the blue ocean, brilliant silver, cayenne red, glacier pearl and super black. The cabin provides a modest space for individuals both in the front as well as rear seats. As far as the drive quality of the car is concerned, the MacPherson strut front suspension and Torsion beam rear suspension both facilitate a smooth and jerk free ride across most terrains. The Leaf offers a sizeable boot capacity which may be further enhanced by split folding the rear seat backs. The bucket front seats and height adjustable driver’s seat help minimize the strain of long journeys.

In addition to this, the EV offers a variety of other driver convenience features such as cruise control, retained accessory power, tilt adjustable steering wheel, electric speed-proportional power steering and both audio and cruise controls mounted on the steering wheel for ease of access. There are several other tech features such as cargo light area, climate control, front reading lights and electro chromatic rearview mirror, all of which lend a contemporary feel to the cabin.

Apart from the standard convenience features, the Leaf also offers a range of safety technologies which ensure a safe and reliable ride. Some of these features are four wheel ABS, stability and traction control, electronic brake force distribution, engine immobilzer, airbags, tire pressure monitoring and remote anti theft alarm system.

The Nissan Maxima: A Four Door Sports Car

August 12, 2016 By Admin

Posted in Uncategorized

The 2016 Nissan Maxima is a great performer and that has a lot to do with the CVT, which is highly responsive. Lag is minimal when you hit the throttle and in manual mode, you get the feeling that you’re driving a 7 speed.

However, you’re still reminded that the Maxima is a CVT because there’s nothing no indicate shifts. All you hear are gear ratios changing. In the Sport mode, the throttle does feel a bit more responsive.

So, how safe is the 2016 Maxima?

Well, there are a total of 3 trim options and each one comes with its own set of safety features. However, there are a few standard safety features as well, which, are available across all 3 trims. These include the Forward Collision Warning, the Blind Spot Warning, and the Forward Emergency Braking etc.

The Platinum trim comes with additional safety features such as the Around View Monitor, Driver Attention Alert, Moving Object Detection, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

Conclusion

The 2016 Maxima is a sporty vehicle, all said and done and this is despite the presence of the CVT and FWD (Front Wheel Drive). The vehicle also boasts of a well-tuned suspension, which makes it a dream to drive around corners.

Nissan’s New Ad Campaign

June 20, 2016 By Admin

Posted in Uncategorized

We are so excited about the latest ad campaign launched by automaker Nissan. It is aimed at repositioning Japan’s No.3 automotive company in the United States by promoting crossovers and exciting cars that prioritize safety.

Nissan is hopeful that the campaign “Take On” would be able to gauge the interest of audiences; thereby helping the company beat a mandate which has been set by Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan. The mandate aims earning 10 percent of the market share in the United States.

The ad campaign has an extensive scope. The first among the eight new advertisements started making a debut at the time of the NBA Finals. A set of another eight advertisements is expected to be launched in the month of July followed by another twenty spots that will be used in local markets.

The ads basically showcase Nissan’s crossovers and cars deftly dodging, weaving and bobbing through all kinds of obstacles. The aim is to demonstrate that the automaker is designing vehicles that combine safety technology with high performance.

According to Vice President, Jeremy Tucker, there was desperate need for such an ad campaign in the U.S. where Nissan faces a serious marketing problem-the absence of a clear brand identity. The idea for the ad campaign which finally emerged was the development of commercials that demonstrate that Nissan trucks and cars could enable consumers to deal with daily obstacles and difficulties such as bad weather, potholes or even running late when dropping off children at their school. If you’re interested in checking out the new Nissan models, you can visit the Coast Nissan showroom.

Performance and Safety Review of the 2016 Nissan Altima

June 6, 2016 By Admin

Posted in General, Uncategorized

The 2016 Nissan Altima is focused on improving its performance and fuel efficiency, making it a leader in its class. It does pack a punch under the hood and the SR actually feels quite nimble and sporty.

Performance specs

It comes in two engine options: the 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder, DOHC and the 3.5 liter, V6 DOHC. A Hybrid variant is no longer available. The 2.5 liter produces 180 bhp power and 180 ft-lb torque at high rpm ranges. Redline rpm is at 6800 rpm. If you rev up the SR too close to the redline, the car software automatically downshifts significantly. But the engine feels nice throughout the range. The V6 produces 270 bhp power and 258 ft-lb torque. The CVT manual transmission feels nice and smooth. The gears are simulated in the SR and SL to copy the gear ratios of automatics. The others come with manuals.

Safety

This 191.4 inch (109.3 inch wheelbase) long sedan is packed with safety features. ABS, traction and stability controls as well as rearview parking cameras are standard on all models. Some of the top get blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control with front collision warning with emergency auto braking (only SL). Nissan also provides emergency assistance and lost car location assistance. It has a tire pressure monitor and is easy to fill, which means a warning system sounds buzzing when the tires have been inflated adequately. No separate monitors are required. The 2015 Nissan Altima, similar to this one, had got the highest possible ratings on crash safety tests from IIHS and NHTSA.

Nissan is giving you a “substantial” car for a reasonable bargain. It starts from the $23,000 level and goes up to just below $35,000 level, for the fully fitted top trim SL. So, it can cater to a wide section of the market. To know more, contact us at Coast Nissan.
