Nissan Makes Big Strides All Around The World

nissan logo

Managing a worldwide market can be a tough challenge for any car manufacturer. There are many different taxes on imports and exports, along with a wide range of emission regulations. Over the past year, Nissan has found success in several countries, including the United States, the UK and Japan, which has made Nissan the fastest growing car brand in the world.

 

United States:

U.S. based production is looking to be on a major rise in 2017. Many companies like Kia and Toyota have declared multibillion dollar investments over the past month, and Nissan will follow suit in order to continue its success. With four factories in the U.S. that employee over 22,000 people, Nissan is already committed to local growth and creating new jobs. Along with employment opportunities, prices on popular models like the popular Nissan Altima or Nissan Rogue should lower.

 

United Kingdom:

It’s only 2017, but Nissan has already started testing its new driverless car system. Nissan is one of the only companies to have such a car ready for testing, and this will be the first driverless car tested in Europe. The tests will use a modified Nissan Leaf, fitted with advanced cameras and sensors in order to make better decisions.

 

Japan:

Nissan debuted several new prototypes and stylish models over at the Tokyo Auto Show. The redesigned NISMO GT-R was an expected attendee, but Nissan also brought along previously unseen NISMO versions of the Juke, Fairlady Z and the March. The #NISMO division produces the majority of Nissan’s performance cars, installing more horsepower, better handling and stylish features to already successful cars.

 

Thankfully, our wide selection of new and pre-owned cars at Cardinale Nissan means you don’t have to go all around the world to get the best of Nissan. At our Monterey car dealership, you can test drive any new or used model, so come check us out at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Be Ready For Anything Life Throws At You With The Nissan Rogue

Nissan Rogue 2017 1The crossover SUV class has many strengths that make it an incredibly versatile car. Getting to work every day on time and safely is important, but many sedans or hatchbacks don’t let you head off road or explore the wilderness. In addition, they have many sporty attributes, making them ready to handle whatever life may bring, from driving in highway traffic to camping outdoors. If you want the best crossover SUV that looks good and is affordable, then head over to Cardinale Nissan to try out the 2017 Nissan Rogue.

 

The Rogue tackles the challenges of smooth handling and plenty of seating with ease this year. The clean lines and redesigned V-motion grille create a bold and powerful look, which is more then backed up by its 2.5 L engine that revs to life when the car is turned on. The engine even has an available hybrid version that raises both the city and highway fuel efficiency by 6 mpg, along with reducing emissions. Inside the car the impressive trunk space can be enlarged by folding down the second row, and because Nissan’s Divide-N-Hide technology includes reversible trunk floor panels, you can quickly find room for all your necessary gear.

 

If you are really busy and tend to live life always on the go, then consider trying the new Nissan Rogue Sport. The entire interior is accented by fine wood or metal and plenty of “smart places” give extra room to store cords, snacks, glasses or whatever you might need. Another new technology on the Rogue #Sport is the Advanced Drive-Assist Display, which shows directions, phone calls and drive mode on a clear display by the speedometer. This way you can get all your essential notifications and messages without the danger of having to stare at the center console.

Dance Into A Different Set Of Wheels With The Nissan Juke

Nissan Juke 4 Many people have different ideas about the word “Juke”. It’s a bit of a peculiar word; it could be something that is fast moving, quick or different. The word often pops up in sports or dancing, where it means to run in a zigzag pattern or to boogie to a jukebox, respectively. If you ask any Nissan employee though, the Juke is a stylish vehicle that stand out, thanks to its endless customization and affordability. We invite you to come experience this extraordinary car at Cardinale Nissan.

 

The Nissan Juke likes to display its style and fashion in an exciting and different way. The vehicle itself has a particular aesthetic that distinguishes it from an ordinary car, and Nissan describes it as having, “a fiercely sculpted hood and those aggressive muscular lines.” It even has some influences of the Nissan’s racing car, the 370Z, in its selection of headlights and taillights. By blending elements of style, speed and performance from different classes of car, it gains attributes like that set the Juke apart from other crossovers.

 

New for 2017 is the Nissan Juke Color Studio, which really puts the paintbrush in your hand. Every person loves a certain combination of colors, so the #ColorStudio allows you to browse hundreds of shades in order to get the interior and exterior looking exactly right. From bright pink to solid black, the Juke will become an expression of you and your life.

At Cardinale Nissan, you can experiment with different colors for your very own Juke or test drive a different model, like a used Nissan Sentra. Our Monterey car dealership has excellent service and a wide inventory, which you can find online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Zoom Through Space With The Nissan Rogue

Nissan Rogue 2017 4 One of the easiest ways to spread the word about a new product or feature is through a TV commercial. Ads and commercials can sometimes be fun to listen to, as most now include an interesting story, graphics or effects. Probably the most shown are car commercials, which talk about all the new features or tech on the latest models. Star Wars and the Nissan Rogue have recently come together to make the most viewed commercial so far, which shows the reliability and safety of the car.

 

Successful advertising and car sales go hand in hand, along with how the vehicle lives up to the created expectations. This new commercial for the Rogue depicts it navigating a chaotic #StarWars battle, with fast spaceships, huge walkers and loads of blaster fire. According to Visual Measures, the spot has been viewed over 3.4 million times, with a comfortable lead over the next highest. Along with the fun to look at visuals, the ad also highlights the safety features on the car like blind spot monitoring and emergency forward braking.

 

The high point of the ad is when a lovable robot mistakenly wanders into the road, and the car automatically brakes just in time. This just as readily occurs on any city street or even if a car shifts too quickly into the space in front of you on a highway. Using Emergency Forward Braking, the car can monitor the surrounding area for these unexpected obstacles and if a collision is eminent, bring the car to a halt. The car also makes use of blind spot warning and rearview detection software to warn you of cars moving about, so you don’t have to worry about safely changing lanes.

The brand new 2017 Nissan Rogue is on sale at your local Monterey car dealership Cardinale Nissan, along with other models like the 2017 Nissan Altima. You can talk with us in person, or visit our website at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Sets New Luxury Standards With Two Of Its Models

nissan-logo

Luxury cars come in all sizes, from a heavy duty truck all the way down to a small sedan. Nissan offers several luxury models, but the most popular are the Nissan Maxima and the Nissan Titan XD. Both cars offer a refined interior that keeps you warm and comfortable, while still providing an exciting time with each drive. Come take a look at the latest changes to these two cars that will put these cars at the top of their classes.

 

Making a #luxury sedan can be a challenging task, simply because of the limited size and space that engineers have to work with. But Nissan has managed to make the Maxima one of the best selling sedans of last year, thanks to the attention to detail and premium features the car offers. A fully loaded infotainment system connects to all your devices and provides real-time navigation and plenty of other tools. The seats are made of fine leather that feels incredible, with a nice stitching pattern available. The Intelligent Climate Control combines with the Remote Engine Start System to get the car warmed up or cooled off so you are saved from the elements as soon as you get in.

 

Much like the #Maxima, the Titan XD also includes Remote Engine Start and a large infotainment system for all your media needs. The Endurance 5.6-liter engine provides all the towing power and acceleration you could ever ask for, with a surprisingly quiet interior thanks to improved insulation. Several upgrade packages offer larger wheels, more towing accessories and additional technology so you can customize this pickup to fit your lifestyle.

 

You can experience true luxury for yourself by test driving one of these cars at Cardinale Nissan, the top Monterey car dealership. Let our sales staff help you find the best car to fit your needs, or visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

The Nissan Qashqai Makes Its Move To The United States

Nissan qashqai 1

 

All across the globe, car companies often have region specific models that are only sold in one area. For example, a number of cars are only sold in Japan or in the U.K. Companies often do this based on the regional popularity of certain types of car or if they better fit the geographic features. Many of these cars end up finding their way to additional regions, such as the Nissan Qashqai, which will be also be sold in the U.S. during the next year.

 

Much like its brother the Nissan Rogue, the Nissan Qashqai is a stylish crossover that brings together the best parts of sedans and SUVs. The crossover is the bestselling type of car on the market, thanks to its seating and fuel efficiency, which makes it great for families. Additionally, they include a fun-to-drive engine and extra storage. The Nissan Rogue has recently become the bestselling model for Nissan in 2016, even surpassing the award winning Nissan Altima and the economic Sentra. Together these two cars offer a wide selection of features and engine levels that all drivers will appreciate.

 

Nissan Qashqai

 

The two cars do have some differences. For starters, the #Qashqai is more compact and offers two rows of seating. It trades these for a cheaper price tag, fewer pounds and a more fuel efficient engine. This car is a great alternative for people looking for a bit of a smaller vehicle, while the Rogue is perfect for larger families that need the seating and trunk space, or are interested in the new hybrid engine option.

 

Look for this car to be unveiled at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show, and you can also test drive the 2017 Rogue today at your Monterey car dealership, Cardinale Nissan. Come see all the fantastic benefits of driving a crossover, or you can read more about us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

The Altima Raises Standards For The Sedan Class Yet Another Year

Nissan 2 Altima heads into production

 

Being the best selling car for any company is a difficult task, but the Nissan Altima makes it look effortless. It simply is one of the most practical and versatile cars on the market, thanks to the large variety of features that are packed into a surprisingly low price. 2017 is looking to be another big year for this outstanding model, so here is a quick review of what you need to know about the new Nissan Altima.

 

The most important part of any car is the engine, and the Altima’s is exceptionally powerful. The Altima has two engine choices this year depending on the package level, a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder one capable of creating 182 horsepower, and a larger V6 that produces 270 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A quick test drive in both of these cars will reveal which engine you like prefer, so don’t hesitate to ask. Continuously Variable Transmission has also been added, which can tune rpm levels in order to maintain a high fuel efficiency.

 

The real reason people are flocking to the #Altima however is the amount of premium features that are included in the base model. The car still has packages like the SV and SL, which do add some useful features, but the important ones all come standard. A large touchscreen infotainment system, smartphone connectivity through USB outlets and high quality interior seating are just a few of the features you can expect to enjoy.

The Nissan Titan Shows Great Results In Long Term Review

2016-nissan-titan-xd-pro-4x-solar-flare-large

 

Around the globe all the new 2017 models are making their way to dealerships, and now is the best time to get a deal on 2016 models. You can often save some additional money this time of year as floor space needs to be opened up for these new cars. If you need to replace your current model with a 2016 car, consider searching for a long term review, which provides great feedback on how well the car works months after it leaves the lot. The Nissan Titan XD is a fun-to-drive pickup that has performs well months and even years after purchase, and still provides great towing and handling on the road.

 

Nissan manufactures several trucks, but the #Titan XD Platinum Reserve is the largest and strongest. The cabin is large and comfortable, with a sturdy bed and the torque to haul even the biggest loads. Tim Stevens from Road Show has been testing out this car for numerous months now, and has been quite happy with its versatility. The largest change for the Titan XD this year was the switch to a Cummins diesel engine, one of the most popular and awarded models. Many strangers have already come up to him and asked, “How do you like your Cummins?”

Stevens has always quickly responded with an enthusiastic, “A hell of a lot” as the truck has been able to move everything from new workout equipment to farm tools. Even Steven’s wife was pleasantly surprised by the stability and confidence the truck provided her when towing on slick roads. The car also has plenty of space for dogs to ride along in, with a convenient rear bench that also features seat heaters.

The Nissan Maxima Expertly Blends Sport With Sedan

Nissan MAxima 2

 

Sedans are ideal vehicles for small families or single drivers who want a bit of extra seating and trunk space for whatever the situation. They make perfect first cars as well, thanks to their affordable cost, solid size to power ratio and good fuel economy. Nissan markets a number of sedans that each cater to a different driver, with the Nissan Altima being the best seller. However, the all-new 2017 Nissan Maxima is looking to give the Altima a run for its money this year, thanks to its attractive style and bold design.

 

The #Maxima isn’t just a sedan; it has a stylish blend of sportiness added to it. The 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque that this 3.5-liter V6 engine generates easily rivals that of many full blown sports cars. When designing this machine, the engineers drew inspiration from the several parts of the GT-R, Nissan’s powerful supercar, such as sodium-filled valves and the fuel-injection process. Nissan has also developed a continuously variable transmission that allows the car to switch between gears much faster than a normal transmission. This allows the car to accelerate more rapidly and generally feel more responsive.

The exterior and interior also add to this sporty feel. The car’s sweeping aerodynamic line was modeled to look like a jet fighter, in order to set it apart from other sedans. The aero design transitions into the interior as well, which you might be able to guess is very similar to that of a cockpit. The cabin is a lovely cream color, with high quality Ascot leather and a diamond-quilted pattern that feels like luxury. The push-to-start button also blinks red as you hop into to the car, as if it is eager to be driven.

 

Come enjoy this incredible driving experience at a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan, where you can become the pilot of this sporty sedan. We also have great deals on all our inventory and offer a host of affordable Nissan services, so find us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

A Few Simple Reasons To Take A Closer Look At The Nissan Rogue

2016-nissan-rogue-cayenne-red-large

 

Companies are installing so many new interesting and exciting features on their vehicles that it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish which ones are truly important. Having all these features isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it makes finding a car that meets your needs a daunting task. It can be especially hard to determine what features are different from last year’s model, so here is a quick guide to the three major updates the Nissan Rogue received.

 

All-Wheel Drive: The Nissan Rogue is a stylish crossover SUV, not a huge truck or full-size SUV. These two classes are the typical cars that feature an all-wheel drive setup, but the Rogue is no ordinary vehicle. It makes great use of AWD in order to charge over difficult terrain with ease, as well as make driving in hazardous conditions much less stressful. This car is designed to be versatile, and including all-wheel drive helps make any outdoor adventure a bit easier.

 

Remodeled Interior: While the exterior did undergo a few changes to its grille and body, the true beauty lies in its interior. Powerful sound-absorbing materials and thickened window glass minimize the amount of noise from highways and rough roads, so every drive is relaxing and quiet. The optional dark camel leather and extra stitching really solidifies the luxury feel and lavish upholstery.

Hybrid Engine: The most alluring update for most drivers is the new #hybrid engine. It may not output the same levels of horsepower or torque, but the heavily increased fuel economy easily makes up for it in economic savings. This engine still packs a punch and is just as responsive as the classic design.

 

Come try out all these outstanding features at Cardinale Nissan, where you can test drive the 2017 Rogue or a used Nissan Sentra for yourself. We are the number one Monterey car dealership, so be sure to check out our extensive inventory online at www.cardinalenissan.com.
