Buy a New Nissan Leaf From Cardinale Nissan And Take Advantage Of Free Charging

By
Posted in Uncategorized

All around the world, electric car sales continue to grow and more charging stations are being established in order to accommodate them. While an internal combustion engine needs gas stations to provide fuel, these new stations simply provide an alternative for drivers and can help make longer trips possible. Big names like Tesla, BMW and Nissan have recently developed fast charging technologies and expanded the infrastructure needed for these charging stations. With any new Nissan Leaf purchase at Cardinale Nissan in Monterey, you gain access to these stations thanks to the No Charge To Charge Program, which makes driving an electric car easier and more fun.

Useful Charging Stations

The limited range of electric cars has always been a concern for many drivers, but with the latest advances in technology you can put those doubts to rest. Initial releases of the Nissan Leaf could only go for around 100 miles without needed more power, but the latest 2018 model is estimated to easily travel over 200 miles. While this is ample enough for your workday, longer road trips were a larger concern until the introduction and development of these charging stations that you can find scatter across the United States.

–

No Charge To Charge

All new Nissan Leaf owners will automatically receive a two year pass into the No Charge To Charge Program. This allows you to make use of any Nissan charging station for free, and benefit from the new DC chargers. These can bring a Leaf from zero to full charge within half an hour, perfect for a refill during lunchtime or during work.

Be on the lookout for the 2018 Nissan Leaf which will be heading to Monterey car dealerships in early September. If you are looking for the best deal on new and used cars in Monterey, then Cardinale Nissan is the place to be.

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Distracted driving is one of the most common causes of accidents on the road, whether it is simply the mind wandering or looking a phone while driving. On average, 8 people die and over 1,000 are injured each day as a result of human error or forgetfulness, so Nissan is implementing several new features on upcoming models to combat distracted driving. There are even features to help prevent parents from leaving their kid inside a hot car. Look for these features on 2018 vehicles at Cardinale Nissan, your number one source for new and used cars in Monterey.

–

Rear Door Alert

Leaving kids or pets in the car during warm months can be extremely dangerous, and the Rear Door Alert system will help remind parents with a sound or car horn. By checking and remembering if a rear car door was opened before a trip started, this feature will alert drivers if the rear door hasn’t been opened again once the trip ends. The feature will first be available on the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, a safe and family friendly car that combines luxury and practicality.

–

Highway Safety Features

Anytime you travel at high speeds, the consequences of distracted driving will be more severe and more likely to happen as traffic can change in an instant. Many drivers often consult their phone for directions, but Nissan’s advanced navigation display can both find the fastest route and be displayed between your speedometer and tachometer. This allows you to get directions and return your eyes to the road faster than ever. Other features such as Lane Keep Assist and Blind Spot Warning keep you wary of your car’s position relative to other vehicles.

Cars like the Nissan Maxima and Nissan Pathfinder help keep families and drivers safer, so visit Cardinale Nissan today to find a vehicle that fits your budget and lifestyle.

Drive Home From Cardinale Nissan In The Redesigned Nissan GTR

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The open roads are yours for the taking this summer thanks to Nissan’s incredible lineup of new sports cars. The Nissan GTR is the highlight of the group with its aerodynamic design and unmatched engine power that makes accelerating down a highway with the wind in your hair exhilarating. This fine-tuned machine creates a unique driving experience that can only be appreciated at a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan, so come in today to find our best offers.

–

Unmatched Power

The horsepower found on the GTR is unlike any challenger, and a fully customized GTR named “Godzilla” recently set the record for fastest quarter mile. The standard model produces 550 horsepower and the limited availability NISMO variant peaks at around 600 horsepower. The car stays true to its racing design by forfeiting back row seating for a more spacious cabin and more efficient design. The GTR is home on the track or the highway, and will take each turn with power and precision no matter the location.

–

Driving Features

To give you the freedom to drive your way, the GTR can switch between three different modes for different situations. R-Mode allows the car to switch gears in around 0.15 seconds, making transitions smoother and essential unnoticeable. For any off road travel you may do, the All-Wheel-Drive mode automatically shifts power between the rear and front wheel when necessary. The balance between speed and power makes uneven roads much more manageable and fun to drive on.

Transform your everyday driving experience by taking a test drive in the new 2017 Nissan GTR at Cardinale Nissan. We offer a wide selection of new and used cars in Monterey, which you can find online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Have A Bite To Eat At One Of Cardinale Nissan’s Favorite Food Trucks in Monterey

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the biggest crazes right now that is sweeping the nation is food trucks. With their affordable prices and unique meals, food trucks are ideal for grabbing a snack or entire meal on the go. Most food trucks are open daily, but many also offer catering services for events such as weddings. Since their entire kitchen is mobile, it’s easy for them to cook up delicious food that is fresh and made to order anywhere. At our Monterey car dealership, we love to enjoy great food, so here are Cardinale Nissan’s favorite food trucks to stop at when cruising around Monterey.

–

El Volcan

Many food trucks like El Volcan serve tacos, but the freshness and authentic taste of this food truck are what keep people coming back. The carne asada tacos and burritos are fan favorites, with just the right combination of cilantro, white onion and refreshing red salsa. The tortillas are made from scratch and complement the juicy and perfectly cooked meat. The tacos are cheap and are big enough that you will be full after only two or three, and the truck is conveniently located next to a park. Head down there for a relaxing afternoon playing with friends or family and then fill up at El Volcan.

–

Ketch It

Why pay high premiums for seafood at a fancy restaurant when you can get just as good food at Ketch It? You can get your seafood of choice served over rice or try the incredible shrimp tacos. Their food is well seasoned and the rice bowls are very easy to eat if you are on the move. Every recipe is authentic and original thanks to the efforts of the truck’s hard working owner, and the truck is located just off Highway 101.

At Cardinale Nissan, you can find great prices on used cars in Monterey such as pickup trucks like the Nissan Titan. Our goal is to help you find the car of your dreams, and you can learn more about any of our models in store or online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Take A Family Vacation This Summer In The 2017 Nissan Quest

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With the kids out of school, summer is the best time for spending time with your family and heading to some amazing destinations. To make the journey however, you need a family car that is flexible, spacious and safe, like the Nissan Quest. This minivan has constantly set the bar for family vehicles each year, and its award-winning features make each drive enjoyable. At Cardinale Nissan, your Monterey car dealership, we can help you make new family memories with a great deal on a new or used Nissan Quest.

–

Safety

Without a doubt, safety must be a key feature for any family car in order to protect the passengers. Stability Control lets the car detect when the handling limits have been surpassed, and keeps the driver in control by reducing engine power and braking the vehicle. The front, side and overhead airbags keep your prepared for the worst, and the optional rearview camera saves you from trouble when moving in reverse.

–

Seating And Entertainment

Nissan describes the Quest as a “family limo”, and the luxury features and ample seating certainly match this picture. The second and third rows have plenty of room for even the tallest passengers, and when you need the 175 cubic feet of storage they can be folded down. It can even be used to move larger furniture pieces or a dorm room’s worth of college supplies. Kids will also love the DVD player on longer road trips.

Cardinale Nissan is proud to provide quality new and used cars in Monterey, along with Nissan car service to keep them running smoothly. To see all our models, summer saving options and offered services, visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Fuel Additives And Getting The Most For Your Money

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Fuel efficiency is a focal point for many drivers during the summer thanks to the rising fuel prices. Owners of electric cars like the Nissan Leaf don’t need to worry, but the combustion engines that the majority of cars run on slowly build up dirt and grime with continual use that can have an impact on mpg. Many companies offer an optional fuel additive at gas stations that claim to raise a car’s fuel efficiency, but do they really work? At Cardinale Nissan, we have the answer to that question and any others you may have about our used cars in Monterey.

–

What Is A Fuel Additive?

Fuel additives are fairly common and many kinds are mixed into the fuel already in order to improve its effectiveness. These types of additives raise the octane rating of the fuel so it burns hotter or act as a lubricant for the engine, making it easier for your engine to make use of the gasoline. Additives you have to pay for on the other hand, tout that they scrub the engine of the built-up dirt and grime and boost your fuel efficiency.

–

Do They Work?

After thorough testing, it is clear that no fuel additive that claims to raise your car’s EPA estimated fuel economy can fulfill that promise. However, many do have other benefits that can contribute to increased engine life. Though they do not increase your fuel efficiency, most will clean out the injector of your car and keep it from corroding. In older cars, replacing the fuel injector can be expensive, so extending its life can save you money in the long run.

At Cardinale Nissan, we can show you the how to truly maximize your car’s fuel efficiency through proper car maintenance and service. From fixing improperly inflated tires to realigning your Nissan Maxima, it’s easy to make your car run like new again by scheduling an appointment at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan’s Latest Campaign Helps Drivers To “Kick Gas”

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Having to get gas while on the way to work or an important event can be a pain. You need to locate a gas station, find out how to get into the parking lot and hope there is an empty spot. Hopefully the gas isn’t too expensive, and the whole detour can delay you by 5 or 10 minutes. It would be great to not have to go through this process, so what would your answer be if a stranger paid for your gas, then told you to go buy an electric car from a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan?

–

Kick Gas With Nissan

“Kick Gas” is Nissan’s latest campaign to encourage drivers to make the switch to electric cars, and it’s doing so by paying for gas all around the country. Throughout the summer, Nissan will be handing out free gas in select cities, helping drivers understand how it feels to not have to pay for their car’s fuel.

The all electric #NissanLeaf can be charged at your house every night so you never need to worry about running out of energy. Electricity is not only cheaper than gas, but it also eliminates the need to visit a gas station entirely, saving you time on your journey.

Along with free gas, customers will also get the chance to talk with Nissan representatives and get answers to any concerns or questions they may have regarding electric cars.

Our Cardinale Nissan sales team is always willing to do the same, and we can also inform you about the incredible incentives and features that are included with the Nissan Leaf.

Get The Most Out Of Your Tires By Inflating Them To The Right Pressure

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Tire Inflation

No matter where you drive to, you rely on your tires to deal with the road. On the smooth highways of Monterey, they help you navigate the lanes, and on bumpy roads they manage the uneven terrain. The treads on your tires will eventually wear down, but having underinflated or overinflated tires can increase the wear and tear they receive. Our experts at #CardinaleNissan can help show you how to properly inflate your tires to the optimal pressure.

–

Overinflation

Overinflated tires are extremely dangerous because of their sensitivity and rigidity. Your tires need a little leeway in order to curve with the road and properly bend, but tires with extra air will hit each bump and hole with full force. This will ultimately lead to a rocky and unpleasant driving experience, and your tires will be more vulnerable to being punctured by sharp rocks or other debris.

–

Underinflation

Underinflation isn’t as rough or dangerous as tire overinflation, but it will cause the tread to rapidly wear down. A less firm tire will have more of its surface in contact with the road. This larger surface of contact will generate heat much more rapidly, greatly reducing your fuel efficiency and damaging the treads.

Every tire set, including the one on your Nissan, has a specific pressure it need to be inflated to in order to function efficiently. Your car’s manual will have this pressure, and you can check the inflation level with a psi meter. If you need assistance with this or any other Nissan car service, Cardinale Nissan is just a few minutes away.

–

Nissan GT-R

It is hard to find a true sports car that feels great on a race track and the open road, but the 2017 GT-R manages to accomplish this goal and more. The base model provides an incredible 565 horsepower on the base mode, with the #NISMO model pumping it even higher to 600 horsepower.
