Nissan Is Still The King Of The Electric Car Market

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan Electric

When it comes to electric car sales, the Nissan Leaf has been the reigning champ for many years. It was one of the first commercial electric vehicles introduced, and through its affordable price and extended range it has consistently outsold the competition. Moving into 2017, several companies released brand new electric cars that looked to be contenders for the title, but none have been able to beat the reliability and affordability that the Leaf offers. Come see why a Nissan Leaf from Coast Nissan remains the top electric car on the market.

 

Since 2008, people like Jose Pontes have been measuring the global market impact of electric cars. He is the primary data source for several technological journals and articles, and his recent EV Sales blog looked at trends from January and February of this year. During this period the Nissan Leaf was by far the world’s best selling #electric vehicle, beating out big names like Tesla and Chevy. In fact, the Nissan Leaf outsold its competitors by about 8,000 units in these two months. This margin is expected to grow even more for the March and April data, as the remodeled 2017 Nissan Leaf was released during this period. The 2017 Leaf has substantially more range and a new cabin makeover.

 

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why the Leaf has performed so well, but there are several factors that have contributed. Its biggest appeal is affordability, which is a big factor for people to consider when making the switch to an electric car. Nissan also provides several incentives with a Leaf purchase, including two years of free charging at the thousands of stations that have recently been installed in major areas.

 

To learn more about all the benefits of driving a 2017 Nissan Leaf, come have a chat with our sales team at your San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. From exceptional Nissan service to expert advice on a new car purchase, www.coastnissan.com is the place to go for all your car needs.

Nissan Sedans

When it comes to sedans, many people believe they are all mostly the same, with few qualities that make them special or unique.

Whether you are backing out of a parking spot or changing lanes on the highway, you can make each movement with confidence.

 

Nissan Altima:

For those that want more performance and some not-so-subtle sporty features, the Nissan Altima offers a dynamic driving experience. The car is both powerful and efficient, with a 4-cylinder engine that is responsive and achieves 39 mpg on the open road. The Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission makes changing gears go smoothly, and the car’s new design features “wind-cheating aerodynamics.”

By
Posted in Uncategorized

It’s not often that a commercial car company develops a racecar that challenges the toughest competition, but Nissan has certainly embraced the challenge with its GT-R supercar. This car is a modified version of the 2017 GT-R, which you can find on sale today at Coast Nissan. With a 600-horsepower engine and a thunderous roar as it accelerates down the track, it’s not surprising that this car has earned the nickname “Godzilla.” To make this stunning car more accessible to everyday drivers, Nissan sent the model over to their NISMO specialists, who developed a version that everyone to enjoy.

 

Nissan’s NISMO division adds power and performance to cars that people love and transforms them into sporty machines. Nissan already introduced NISMO versions of the 370Z, Altima and even the all-electric Leaf, and with the GT-R supercar gathering attention from fans worldwide, it was an easy choice for the next project. The new #NISMO GT-R strikes a perfect balance between the hyper-customized supercar and the raw power of the base GT-R model.

 

Working with the already impressive 565-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 engine, Nissan installed numerous upgrades to the body for more precise handling. Along with the regular spot welds, the GT-R has had epoxy adhesive applied to several critical joints in order to ensure stability and create that razor-sharp handling that Nissan performance cars can deliver. It also features new front style fenders, reliable and sturdy 20-inch forged aluminum wheels and a unique dry carbon-fiber spoiler. Both inside and outside the NISMO GT-R has been adorned with a limited edition red and black color treatment that looks stylish and is sure to grab people’s attention. As Nissan put it, “The new GT-R Track Edition gives buyers a specialized model, one true to GT-R heritage and available only by special order.”

 

To learn exactly how you can be an owner of these special models, head in to your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. Once you receive your new GT-R, we can help make sure it performs at maximum efficiency thanks to our variety of Nissan services, which you can find online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Saves Lives With The Nissan Leaf

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the most commonly talked about benefits of electric cars is their reduced emissions due to not relying on gasoline. This translates into lowered greenhouse gases, fewer pollutants and it even saves you some money at the pump. Electric cars are also quieter and generally safer due to the better integration of the computer with the engine. What you may not know is that electric cars are also making the world a much safer place, and through Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility Initiative, cars like the Leaf are much more practical for everyday drivers. Come see how a Nissan Leaf from Coast Nissan can have a positive impact on the world.

 

Whenever a disaster strikes, people in the affected area often lose access to important utilities and resources. In this case, they are often stranded and are cut off from essential services due to disasters like floods. While you may think a Nissan Leaf would be just as useless as other cars in this scenario, the #Leaf can actually act as a large battery or generator, giving power back just like how it was charged. Thanks to Nissan’s latest technological innovations, the Leaf can be used to power phones or small heating devices, as well as many cooking appliances.

 

Because of the Leaf’s adaptability, people stranded by disasters will be able to cook a decent meal while they wait for the figurative or literal storm to pass. This also consumes very little of the Leaf’s battery thanks to Nissan’s remarkable design, so once the roads are clear you and your family can travel safely to a more secure area. Nissan summarized that the Leaf, “can be recharged to work as mobile power sources, avoiding gridlock at gas stations and extending an essential lifeline to isolated areas.”

 

The 2017 Nissan Leaf will be there for you in both the good and the bad times, much like your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. From friendly Nissan service to the best deals on the latest Nissan models, www.coastnissan.com has everything you need to take a Leaf home today.

Stay On Top Of Brake Maintenance With These Simple Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

When people talk about how excited they are about driving their Nissan, the most common reasons are the smooth and precise turning, as well as the dynamic and powerful acceleration. But just as important as starting and accelerating is the ability to properly bring the car to a stop. Your car’s brakes are extremely important to take care of and monitoring their condition is critical to ensuring your safety. With regular use, the brake pads on your car slowly wear down and need to be replaced, so here are a few tips from our Coast Nissan service team on when you should bring them in for maintenance.

 

The #brakes on your car consist of three major components of the overall car disc brake system: the brake caliper, brake rotor and brake pads. The rate at which they degrade is based on several factors, which all can lower the recommended 50,000 miles before replacement. The biggest factor is your environment; if you drive more often in stop-and-go city or highway traffic than on longer country stretches, the brakes are used more and degrade faster.

 

The best way to make sure you are on top of brake pad replacements is to get them checked when you bring your car in to Coast Nissan for any number of our Nissan services. Our experts will be happy to check the thickness of the pad during a quick oil change or tire rotation. While you are driving if you notice that braking is rougher or more jittery than normal, your rotors may be warped and need replacing. Also, brake pad manufacturers often put small metal hairs at the end to alert drivers that they are worn out, as it will make a squealing or scraping sound.

 

For brake pad replacements or any other problems with your new or used Nissan, head down to your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. We offer exceptional deals on your favorite models, and you can browse our inventory online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Makes Bold Move Into The Car Sharing Market

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Anytime you are trying to get around in the city, there are several options, like driving a Nissan Altima from Coast Nissan, taking local electric trams and even getting a taxi. Along with these, there are several successful car sharing platforms running around the U.S., like ZipCar, but none offer access to clean and easy transportation around all major cities. To solve this problem, Nissan has launched its brand-new car-sharing service in Japan, that will quickly expand to North America and Europe. This service will feature use Nissan’s two-seater electric vehicle, which is light, compact and nicknamed “Twizy.”

 

While there are several benefits to owning or leasing a new or pre-owned Nissan from your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, for people who don’t travel too far for work or vacation it’s easier and more affordable to use a car sharing service. In each city, Nissan will place these vehicles in popular travel hubs, and people can then rent and return them to any of these hubs once they are finished. These hubs also charge the Twizy while it is not in use, and because the #Twizy is light and ultra-compact, drivers will never have to worry about running out of charge.

 

The Twizy has been in development for a few years by Nissan’s partner, Renault, and after four years of safety and economic testing, they are finally ready to hit the road. They only sit up to two people, but Nissan will likely extend the program in the future to include the Nissan Leaf. The Twizy has a top speed of around 50 miles per hour and a range of 62 miles, perfect for short trips between city destinations. Being electric, drivers will never need to stop by the gas station for a fill up, and they produce much fewer emission than a typical vehicle.

 

If want a car of your own that can handle city travel and longer road trips, Coast Nissan has the best selection of Nissan’s San Luis Obispo can offer. For a look at all our current offers and models, be sure to check us out online at www.coastnissan.com.

Make Sure Your Suspension Is Ready For The Rough Road Ahead

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the greatest sources of wear and tear on your vehicle comes from the road itself. The rough terrain and many miles slowly deteriorate the tires and other important parts. The most severe strain comes from uneven or bumpy terrain, which can rock the car and result in damage to your suspension. A working suspension is critical to making sure the car rides smoothly over bumps and can reliably navigate the road, so make sure yours is in pristine condition with regular Nissan service from our professionals at #CoastNissan.

 

The tires connect the car to the road, but from the tires up, the rest of the car is referred to as the suspension. The support that this system gives the car allows you to make turns and easily traverse uneven terrain without harming more fragile components. The most critical function of the suspension, however, is maintaining a proper balance during emergency maneuvers. Avoiding an accident is much more difficult if the suspension has not been properly tuned. Other duties of the suspension include making the car rider smooth for all passengers involved and balancing the distribution of weight from added stress.

 

The suspension consists of many parts overall, but there are a few that are the most important to check. Your tires need to be properly inflated, as an underinflated or overinflated tire is more prone to being popped and will greatly lower your gas mileage. In addition, having your wheels properly aligned at least every 30,000 miles reduces overall stress on your car and will keep your car functioning as intended. Overall, the suspension system does not need much maintenance, but these two simple checks go a long way in extending the life of your car.

 

We’re a San Luis Obispo car dealer that offers Nissan service and maintenance, including suspension checks or a routine inspection. Coast Nissan is friendly and you can easily schedule an appointment online at www.coastnissan.com. There you can also find our latest deals on all new and used Nissan models.

Prepare For Your Next Big Trip With These Simple Steps

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Spring break or any extended vacation is a great time to relax and enjoy life for yourself. From having a “staycation” with some extra time to sleep in or planning a spectacular road trip across the country or state, you are free to mix and match adventure and recuperation time. Before you set out on a long journey however, it’s important to ensure that your car is road ready.  A quick inspection from #CoastNissan is one of the easiest ways to keep your car in prime condition, and here are a couple of car maintenance steps to take before your next adventure.

 

Fluid Levels:

Your car needs a perfect balance of several car fluids, including oil, coolant and brake fluid to operate correctly, so spend a couple of minutes browsing your owner’s manual and identifying the various fluid levels. If you find any are low, our engineers can replace it in no time.

 

Tire Maintenance:

The car may be carrying you, but the tires are what keep the car on the road and moving forward. Too low or high tire pressure can lead to permanent damage and a vulnerability to being punctured, which would definitely put a halt to the road trip fun. Check to make sure the air pressure and the treads are up to factory recommendations, and don’t forget the spare!

 

Air Quality:

Your car’s air filter is easy to replace, but it’s often one of the most ignored maintenance recommendations. To make sure you and your passengers are enjoying clean air during the whole trip, check the air filter and make sure it isn’t too dirty.

 

Car Wash:

It may seem simple, but a quick car wash will remove all the built-up dirt and grime that has slowly been accumulating on your Nissan. If the buildup remains too long, it can erode your paint and cause damage.

 

Our Coast Nissan service department can do all Nissan services for you and much more, so don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment at the best San Luis Obispo car dealer. Along with exceptional deals on all models, we also offer friendly customer service, so call or give us a click at www.coastnissan.com.

The history and culture that surround a place are important for keeping track of the key events of the past and remembering some of the simpler times. For example, Nissan was built on the principles of quality and efficiency, and you can see that inspiration in our long history of making vehicles. Throughout San Luis Obispo, there are plenty of iconic landmarks from this county’s rich past, and at Coast Nissan we believe visiting these locations is a great way to spend time and learn what makes this town special.

The garden is home to both local and exotic plants that have been cultivated and taken care of over many years, and is the perfect spot to simply spend some quiet and reflecting time. You can also schedule private events, including weddings, in the more secluded part of the garden.

 

Hearst Castle:

Quite possibly the largest property in the county, Hearst Castle is a massive historic home that you could spend hours on end exploring. There are specialized tours for many different parts of the castle, including an afternoon tour, night tour, main building tour, cottages and kitchen tour and so much more. Kids will love the serene pools and expansive private zoo, where you can look at animals from all the across the globe, including zebras, camels and jaguars. The entire estate is also surrounded by gorgeous foliage and greenery and there are plenty of shops to visit, so consider spending a day somewhere the whole family will enjoy.
