Nissan Planning on Developing New Engine Options

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan recently announced that it is currently developing more engine offerings for its U.S. Sentra compact vehicle in the near future. This announcement comes during a time when the Japanese automaker is also looking to offer a hatchback version of the sedan. Michele Bunce, Director-Product Planning for Nissan North America said: “From a product standpoint, in the future you’ll see more engine offerings, and it’s full steam ahead. We’re fully focused on the segment.” The current Sentra is available with just one engine option, a 1.8L 4 cylinder engine; this is an important focus point for Nissan since all of the Sentra’s competitors offer at least two choices of engine.

The 2016 Nissan Sentra offers a new exterior appearance, as well as a refreshed interior. The new sedan features advanced safety features and new drier-centric technologies. The Sentra compact sedan has proven to be one of Nissan’s most popular vehicles; for over 30 years and seven generations of production, 93% of all Sentra sales have occurred in the United States alone. With a starting MSRP of $16,780, the Sentra is a great option for many Americans and is considered an even better option now that it features new technology and exterior features. Pierre Loing, Vice President, Product Planning, Nissan North America, said: “In what is turning out to be ‘the year of the sedan,’ Nissan has made major changes to our three best known sedans – launching an all-new Maxima 4-Door Sports Car, a major makeover of our number one selling Altima, and now a redesigned Sentra.”

Nissan Titan XD Warrior Concept Takes NAIAS By Storm

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The Titan XD debuted at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this month, showing a modified-for-heavy-duty Warrior Concept. The Warrior Concept has the same wheelbase and length as the XD, but with a “Samurai meets Cyborg” feel. This styling includes carbon fiber fenders, cabin, and taillight spoilers. The truck gets a custom paint job called “Thunder”, which is a matte-gunmetal, accented with “Magma” and black highlights. The Nissan Titan XD enters the market as the brand experiences growth in the U.S. That said, due to huge consumer demand, the Titan is already exploring new design and feature offerings, to keep pace with buyers’ interest. Contact Cardinale Nissan to test drive the Titan XD, or receive updates of the Warrior Concept’s availability.

Renault-Nissan Pursuing Self-Driving Cars, Slowly but Surely…

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Cardinale Nissan 2_SelfDrivingCar1

Beginning later in 2016, Renault-Nissan will offer vehicles that are able to take control while a car is stuck in a single highway lane in stop-and-go traffic. By 2018, we will see the availability of multiple-lane highway support. And by 2020, the French-Japanese carmaker plans to introduce autonomous vehicles capable of navigating intersections and city driving. When you think about it, four years isn’t that far away. In that timeframe, the company says that it will launch more than 10 vehicles with some form of autonomous driving features. EVP of Engineering, Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi, said at a recent press event, “We will implement autonomous driving step by step.” He adds that the company is developing the necessary systems to monitor drivers and make sure that they are ready to take the wheel when necessary. For example, a wristband would monitor vital signs. CEO Carlos Ghosn said that “even a fully autonomous car still needs a driver with eyes on the road and hands on or near the wheel.” He hints at Tesla, saying that “not all electric vehicles …cost six figures,” and he commits that Nissan is focused on electric and self-driving cars for the mass market. “This is a global priority,” which is supported by the fact that the Nissan LEAF represents over 45 percent of EVs on the road.

2018 Nissan Frontier Debut?

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Cardinale Nissan 1_2016FrontierRed

Though we’ve just only rung in 2016, photos of what could be the 2018 Nissan Frontier are already being spied online. The midsize truck, similar to the Navara, Nissan’s midsize in foreign markets, has been spotted in metro Detroit with taped badges, raising a lot of interesting curiosity. One such test truck was marked as a diesel, which prompts us to wonder if this is intended for the foreign markets, or if Nissan has new ideas for the U.S. midsize pickup market. Could this taped-up Navara really be the next-generation Frontier? It appears to have a larger body size than the NP300, and hints at a possible consolidation to market a single midsize truck globally. The 2016 Frontier King Cab is available in three editions: S, SV 4-cylinder, and SV V6. Get a quote for your trade-in, and swing by for a test drive of the current model year midsize pickup. Contact Cardinale Nissan in Seaside, and let the friendly team guide you through the exciting current financing offers.
