Nissan Unveils New Sports Car and Electric Hybrid

Smart and sport don’t generally go together, especially in the world of cars. Most hybrids or electric cars lack the engine power to provide a stunning and exhilarating level of acceleration, and most sport cars have a low fuel efficiency and fewer technical features. Thanks to Nissan though, you will soon be able to have the best of both worlds. Recently, Nissan unveiled its new prototype EV sports car, nicknamed the #BladeGlider, which will be available in the near future at dealerships like Coast Nissan.

The latest Nissan trailer featured famous actress Margot Robbie, who test drove the car out on a closed race track in Monaco. In the short video, she shows off the incredible maneuverability and speed the sports car shows by piloting the car around one of the most famous corners of the racing world: the Fairmont Hairpin. The car effortlessly glides around the track, highlighting the never-before-seen power of the powertrain electric engine. Manufactured by UK-based Williams Advanced Engineering, this new engine can accelerate the car 60 miles per hour in under five seconds, and can reach a maximum velocity of 115 mph. This latest setup also features two 130 kW electric motors for each wheel that can compensate for understeering through a process known as torque vectoring.

 

Other notable features of this new sports car include a new seat configuration that has one driver in the front near the “nose” of the car and two seats behind it. This makes the driver feel more immersed in the experience much like an airplane pilot in the cockpit. The #BladeGlider has been in development for over four years, dating back to a concept car in early 2013. Since then it has been refined and improved using the latest in electric vehicle technology, so drivers can both be exhilarated and environmentally comfortable.

 

Look for this efficient and good looking sports car to arrive soon at dealerships like Coast Nissan, where we offer the best deals on other electric cars like a new or used Nissan Leaf. All our cars are backed by our customer support and five star Nissan service, so give us a call or visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

See Why The Nissan Pathfinder Is One Of The Best Family Cars Of The Year

Renowned vehicle reviewers like Kelley Blue Book annually hold competitions for the best car in specific categories. Some of the most popular to read about are the sports car and performance vehicle winners, but at Coast Nissan, the number one San Luis Obispo car dealer, one of the values that we hold highly is the commitment to family. That why we prefer to focus on the 12 Best Family Car competition, a list that the Nissan Pathfinder has made for several years, including this one. Come see what makes this affordable and comfortable SUV stand out from the competition.

Kelley Blue Book states that, “one of the most critical factors when considering a family-focused vehicle is its ability to please the people it carries.” This Nissan #SUV scores highly in that area primarily thanks, to its welcoming and spacious cabin that people can move easily in and out of. The recent mid-cycle redesign also added improved seating and a new EZ Flex and Glide System, which makes attaching and securing a child seat easy. It also allows better access to the roomy third row of seating. The optional tri-zone climate control means everyone can enjoy a temperature they are comfortable with, and the 16 cubic feet of cargo space can expand all the way to a whopping 80 cubic feet.

Along with the interior design, Kelley Blue Book appreciated the advanced safety features and “dynamic driving experience” that the Pathfinder created. The car handles well, thanks to the award winning 3.5-liter V6 that is under the hood, along with Xtronic CVT that improves gear transitions. For safety features, the Pathfinder has available Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alerts so you always know what’s going on around your car. The Forward Emergency Brake also can stop the car automatically in the case of an emergency, earning the car top marks from the NHTSA and IIHS.

 

At Coast Nissan, we can help you and your family find a great deal on the Nissan Pathfinder or any of our award winning models like a used Nissan Leaf. Be sure to check us out online at www.coastnissan.com or visit our local San Luis Obispo dealership.

Bring Your Car To Coast Nissan’s Service Center For A Superior Inspection

In order to make sure our health and wellbeing is up to date, we head over to doctor’s office for a quick checkup. Similarly, for a vehicle, the best way to make sure it is working properly is to head down to Coast Nissan for a multi-point inspection. Our trained service professionals have years of experience working with Nissan models, so let us do the dirty work and check to see if your car is running safely.

Getting an inspection is one of the best things you can do whenever you are planning a long trip, haven’t taken the car to a mechanic in a while or are buying a used car. When you buy a certified pre-owned car at Coast Nissan though, we do all that hard work for you so you are confident in driving any certified pre-owned Nissan. Our thorough 167-point inspection covers all the critical components like the engine, electrical system, brakes and body, and we provide CARFAX Vehicle History Reports with every car. Your safety and satisfaction is important to us, and we want to make sure that you feel comfortable with your pre-owned purchase. It also comes with a 7-year or 100,000-mile warranty that covers over 600 parts, along with complimentary Emergency Roadside Assistance and Car Rental Reimbursement if anything goes wrong.

Any good #carinspection will cover all the major components of your car, so be sure to pay attention to what all is included in any multi-point inspection. Most cars should get an inspection at least every 15,000 miles, and many states require you to have an inspection periodically.  These routine procedures can catch developing problems before they become too severe, and in the end can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars on fixing your car.

 

Whether you just need a thorough inspection or are interested in a certified pre-owned car like a used Nissan Leaf, schedule an appointment with our experts at Coast Nissan. You can find all the information about our Nissan services and models online at www.coastnissan.com.

Get More Out Of Each Drive With The 2017 Nissan Murano

 Taking a drive with friends or family shouldn’t just be a silent break in between the fun, it’s a perfect time to share and connect with them. A car might not seem like the most social space, but with all the features on crossovers like the Nissan Murano, you are sure to have a great time with others. You can play each other’s playlists and enjoy the music, or spend time talking about your favorite sports team. With the new 2017 Nissan Murano from the best San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan, anything is possible.

One of the overarching themes with Nissan vehicles for this model year is the creation of a driving experience that is fun and interactive. A big part of this is connecting with the car and others, so for the Murano Nissan has added a “communication alley,” which is essentially an expanded center console that allows and even encourages interaction between the front row and back row seats. The view from the back row to the road ahead has been expanded, and they also have a perfect line of sight to the large multi-touch center display. Additional USB ports for this row have been added as well, so passengers can charge their phones and connect to the media console. You can take turns playing music or video and enjoy the luxury atmosphere.

 

The #Murano isn’t just the most social car on the market, it is a one of the highest rated luxury crossovers. The Zero Gravity seats and premium materials are easy to sit in for a few minutes or for hours during a long road trip. With nice ambient lighting touches and the advanced tech features, you will feel just like you are sitting in the comfort of your own home. It also offers several customizable features from illuminated kick plates to more stylish wheels.

To test drive a Nissan Murano or any of our new or preowned cars like a used Nissan Leaf, head over to Coast Nissan. Our sales team can help you find the car of your dreams, or you can browse our inventory online at www.coastnissan.com.

Experience Fine Arts And Fine Food Around San Luis Obispo This Month

shutterstock_259773713

If you are looking for some exciting weekend events or places to eat, there is no better area than San Luis Obispo. There are always new locations and performances to explore or enjoy, and you don’t even have to go on a long road trip in your Nissan to find them. The staff at Coast Nissan has called this area home for years, so let us show you some of the best entertainment spots and places to grab a nice bite to eat.

Any weekend is a good time to enjoy a concert, see a play or be amazed by a wonderful performance. That’s why the Cal Poly Arts foundation hosts at least one event on almost every weekend over at the Performing Arts Center on Grand Avenue. The February lineup consists of a showing of Rusalka from The Met: Live in HD series along with several concerts from popular bands like Paddy Moloney & The Chieftains. These events are great to see with friends, a date or even the whole family. Be sure not to miss the incredibly talented Golden Dragon Acrobats, who will be taking the stage on February 26. Ticket prices for all events are affordable and available online.

After one of these thrilling shows, you may want something to eat, so here are our picks of some of the best #burgers in the area. For a burger place that does all the classics extremely well, check out the Old Village Grill down in the Village of Arroyo Grande. The wood-lined walls and rich history of the place is the perfect backdrop for enjoying a bacon cheeseburger. Their Gardenburgers are perfect as a vegetarian option, and if you are feeling adventurous you can try a Pastrami Cheese Burger or the Cajun Blue Cheese Bacon Burger for a nice kick. What burger would be complete without fries and a milkshake? The Old Village Grill is a master of these, as well.

 

Not only should both dinner and the show be enjoyable, so should your drive around town. Whether you are cruising around in a new Nissan Altima or used Nissan Leaf, Coast Nissan is the best spot for deals on all cars and Nissan leases. Be sure to check us out online at www.coastnissan.com.

Charge Faster And Easier With Nissan’s New Stations

The Best Nissan Cars Ever MadeElectric cars are slowly working their way into becoming more mainstream rather than just some experimental alternative. The technology has grown over the past five years, thanks to partnerships and research into this alternative way of driving that is more efficient and environmentally friendly. Electric cars now aren’t much more expensive than a gasoline powered vehicle, and their seating and trunk space has also been catching up. But one reason that deters many potential drivers is needing to charge the car, and that is why Nissan is making this process faster and more convenient.

We’re excited about this at #CoastNissan.

While the electricity needed to fully charge an electric car is much cheaper than buying gas, the time investment has always been much more. A trip to the gas station takes only about five minutes, but many electric cars have had charge times upwards of an hour. If you are at home this isn’t a big deal as you can just leave it overnight, but for road trips or vacations where a person might need to refuel along the way, it can delay you. Fortunately, Nissan has been installing new dual port DC fast chargers in locations all across the country that can provide an 80% charge in under 30 minutes.

 

These new 50-kW fast chargers will have your Nissan Leaf ready to go quickly, and are being built around the U.S. as part of Nissan’s No Charge To Charge Program. Best of all, anyone who buys or leases a 2013 or later Leaf will receive two whole years of free charging at these stations. That’s right, you won’t even have to pay for the electricity. Nissan has also partnered with BMW in order to bring this Combined Charging System to even more areas in 2017. Nissan estimates that over 90% of Leaf owners will have easy access to free and quick charging in the coming future.

Nissan Leaf 7

To be a part of this amazing program, head on over to Coast Nissan to check out all our incredible deals on a Nissan Leaf or for a look at our Nissan leases. We also have plenty of new or used Nissan Leaf models in stock, so check us out online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Looks To Continue Smashing Sales Records In 2017

shutterstock_191693912 When looking forward to 2017, it is helpful to look at how sales trends have changed over the past year. One of car companies that has put the auto industry back on track to growth is Nissan, who experienced an 8.3% increase in sales. While many other competitors struggled to even post a positive return, Nissan led the charge with its wide selection of sedans, crossover SUVs and pickups. All Nissan models are crafted with care, and come with all the latest features in a stylish design.

 

One of the leading reasons for Nissan’s profound success in 2016 was their commitment to creating consumer friendly cars. Nissan offers several sedans that are fun to drive and still offer all the amenities for families and single drivers. Smartphone integration and USB connectors allow you to stream all your music and media through the car speakers and charge the phone at the same time. The Nissan Altima has a perfectly sized interior and comfortable seating for up to five people, while the Versa offers a more compact and lightweight ride. Both cars sport a powerful and responsive engine that is sure to make each drive enjoyable.

 

The most popular vehicle class of last year was the #crossover SUV, and the Nissan Rogue stood out as a shining star. The car has exceptional trunk and seating room for all your outdoor adventures and excursions. It has optional all-wheel drive for all your off-roading needs, and the sport mode makes the handling even more precise. The new 2017 Rogue is looking to be the best in its class with its new hybrid engine option that reduces emissions and boosts the fuel efficiency by around 6 mpg.

Nissan Improves Upon The Already Impressive Leaf, Again

Nissan Leaf 5 The Consumer Electronic Show is an annual event that takes places in the early part of the year; for 2017 this happened to be in the first week of January. This wonderful event gives companies an opportunity to show off some of the coolest and most fun gadgets that will find their ways to shelves during the year.  Some car companies, also made the trek to the Las Vegas stage, including Nissan, who revealed the latest plans for redesigning their electric car, the Nissan Leaf.

 

In order to compete against the new Chevy Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3, Nissan has invested countless hours into perfecting their own long-range electric car. The new Leaf is a part of Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility project, which is working on developing new and better electric cars and autonomous cars. It’s all but certain that these two forms of transportation will be the face of driving within the next couple of years, so Nissan is working to get a head start in the competition. The Nissan Leaf already was one of the most affordable and longest range electric cars on the market, and these latest changes only add even more.

 

Along with displaying a prototype that featured all the new updates, Nissan mentioned that it will have several new features. The range will be boosted to around 200 miles, a substantial leap from previous versions. It will also include better handling and more intuitive regenerative braking so even new drivers will be able to operate an electric car with ease.  Nissan is also planning on adding #ProPILOT technology in the near future that will self-drive the car on single-lane highways.

Nissan Makes Use Of NASA Software To Keeps Drivers Safe

shutterstock_191693912 Autonomous or self-driving cars may seem far away, but many companies already have working prototypes and even have plans to release them by 2020. Nissan is already using a fleet of hybrid electric cars to pull trailers filled with newly produced vehicles down to the port that they are shipped from. To make this seemingly futuristic car at the moment requires a just as complicated and alien software, which is why Nissan is integrating technology that NASA used on the Mars Rover to help manage its fleets.

 

With any autonomous or electric car like the Nissan Leaf, having the proper software to manage the electronics is incredibly important for running the car properly. The Nissan Leaf has one of the longest ranges on the market right now, thanks to its regenerative braking and efficient use of its energy. Using too little or too much power in electric car can make it difficult to drive or significantly cut the range, so Nissan has always made sure it has the most advanced and up to date tools installed in the car. This includes all the physical components of the car and battery to the power management programs in the on-board computer.

 

shutterstock_317811290For Nissan’s upcoming autonomous cars, they are using NASA’s Seamless Autonomous Mobility (SAM) program that has been used on several successful robots. Self-driving cars handle expected several expected situations well, but can falter when it comes to unusual or unpredictable scenarios. The SAM system is great at analyzing the images and sensor data to engineer an effective and safe response to these situations. It can even contact a “mobility manager” who is able to find the right route or response in the event of something truly strange.

 

At #CoastNissan, we specialize in finding people the right car or Nissan lease to meet their needs, like a used Nissan Leaf. Like autonomous cars, we can analyze your situation and find the right path, so come on in or visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.
