Three Big Reasons To Consider The New Nissan Rogue

Nissan Rogue 1

 

With all the new and exciting features that companies are installing on their vehicles, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish which ones are really important. Having all these features isn’t a bad thing, but it makes sifting through to make sure a car meets all your needs a challenging task. It can be especially hard to find out what features are new or changed from last year, so here is a quick guide to the Nissan Rogue and its three new updates.

 

Hybrid Engine: The most exciting change for most drivers is the available #hybrid engine. It may not put out the same horsepower or torque, but the added fuel economy more than makes up for it in economic savings. This engine still packs a punch though, and is just as responsive as the traditional motor.

 

All-Wheel Drive: The Nissan Rogue is a crossover SUV, not a big truck or full-size SUV. These two classes are the usual recipients of an all-wheel drive setup, but the Rogue is no ordinary car. It makes great use of this feature in order to help navigate difficult terrain, as well as make driving in hazardous conditions more manageable. This car is meant to be versatile, and including all-wheel drive is important as it helps make any adventure a tad easier.

Remodeled Interior: While the exterior did receive a few changes to its grille and overall design, the true beauty lies in its new interior. New sound-absorbing materials and thickened window glass minimize the amount of noise from highways and rough roads, so your drive is smooth and quiet. The optional dark camel leather and extra stitching really helps make the car feel more luxurious.

Nissan’s Armada: Leading the SUV surge.

nissan armada  3

“There’s never been a better time to purchase the SUV you’ve always wanted.”

 

Nissan is one the largest and most well known car manufacturers in the world. Even as a car manufacturer that sells vehicles around the globe, they need to be on their toes to maintain a competitive edge and solidify their rightful spot as a leader. The newly redesigned full-size Armada SUV from Nissan does just that. It shows the world why Nissan is a leader.

 

This is the perfect time for Nissan to bring to market the new redesign of the Armada—they’ve certainly done their research. First, because fuel prices are still low. Therefore, it’s natural for people to start considering bigger cars and trucks again after the lagging economy and high fuel prices around 2008 saw sales of those models diminish. Now is also the “sweet spot” for car sales on the calendar year. Summer is pretty much a distant memory. Anticipation for the 2017 models is building. And as we inch closer and closer to winter, no matter what part of the country you live in, you start to think about a sturdier vehicle like an SUV to get you through the weather or a holiday road trip.

 

The 2017 Nissan Armada is a lot like the Infiniti QX80 in quite a few ways. For example, the engine, driveline, platform and design are all just like the Infiniti QX80. Which means it drives like the amazing machine that it is, and on top of that, it has great styling as well. This iteration of the Armada SUV is down-scaled to be more svelte and less hefty than the QX80, so it appears more up-to-date and desirable. In the looks category, it is like a cross between a truck and an SUV. We like the new appeal and think it will also appeal to a wider range of drivers. Plus, it’s built like truck on the inside. Just take the kit, for instance. It includes sturdy construction, 8,500 pound towing capacity, an impressive 5.6-liter, direct-injected V-8 and 390hp for enduranc, and 401 lb-ft of torque on regular gasoline. The engine is almost identical to the Infiniti, with a seven-speed automatic transmission fastened to a transfer case with a 2.70:1 low range. Wrap it up with a tremendous package of drivers-aid tech and you have a little luxury, a lot of comfort and still a rugged vehicle that can do the work and give you some off-road cred.

Manufacturing at Nissan Plant Reaches All-Time High

Coast Nissan 2

In Canton, Mississippi, at the Nissan plant that produced a record-breaking 33,000 vehicles in October, you won’t find any dust on the line. Executives forecast that over 350,000 vehicles will be produced there in 2015. Steve March, VP of Manufacturing, said the plant’s productivity is largely based on the strength of its workforce, which boasts over 6,000 members. “The men and women of Canton have really worked hard to get us to this. It hasn’t been without difficulties but we’ve overcome each and every one of them. It shows the commitment that Nissan has in this particular facility. We’re a global player, we’re a big player in the Nissan world, and it’s really important for us today.” The Canton-based plant is home to the production of nine vehicles, including the Nissan Titan XD. Interestingly enough, the Titan is made on the same line as the Frontier and the Murano crossover. March notes, “There’s no other facility in the Nissan world that has the same level of complexity that we do here.” To reserve your Titan XD today, visit the friendly folks at Cardinale Nissan in Seaside. The pickup is expected to hit dealers by late December.
