While we enjoy sharing fun facts about the Nissan brand, sometimes we like to zero in on specific car models and see what makes them tick. Today, we want to talk about the 2018 Rogue S and how it is a performance machine decked out with a wide swathe of fine conveniences.

The simple fact is this: the Rogue rocks! It will thrill you thanks to its 2.5L four-cylinder engine, which produces 170 HP in effortless fashion. Even better, the effectively limitless gear ratios of its continuously variable transmission (CVT) allow it to offer the smoothest ride imaginable. You have to experience it yourself to truly understand!



The 2018 Nissan Rogue S is just as nicely outfitted in the cabin as it is under the hood. It comes with front fog lights that enable sensational visibility in difficult, “pea soup” conditions. There’s an outside temperature display to keep you abreast of how the day is shaping up, while the speed-sensing steering adds excellent responsiveness. Plus, you’ll love the entertainment options provided by Sirius XM radio.

Nissan is leading the way with vehicle electrification and one of their latest EVs is quite simply one of their best yet: Meet the 2018 Nissan LEAF SV. It comes with an amazing range, quite a bit of power, and the technological wonder you’re hoping for.

Unlike with many prior EVs, when you take the road in this machine, you won’t have to be constantly stopping to juice back up. That’s because this latest LEAF comes packed with a new 40-kWh lithium-ion battery that provides a 151-mile range on a single charge. And when you do have to juice up, it only takes about a half hour to go from zero all the way to 80% full. Plus, the 110-kW motor works on your behalf to create 147 HP and 236 lb.-ft. of torque.



This 2018 Nissan LEAF SV also comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which enable you to access and enjoy the apps you have on your phone while driving via the LEAF’s built-in display. Also, Bluetooth connectivity offers hands-free voice commands while the navigation system will ensure you make it safely and securely to your destination.

Sometimes, you gotta “go big or go home.” And the 2019 Nissan Armada Platinum certainly allows you to do the former. It is a machine that not only boasts incredible passenger seating but, perhaps just as importantly, it comes through in a huge way when it comes to performance and comfort/convenience.

The 2019 Nissan Armada Platinum “brings it” when we’re talking about power. The 5.6L V8 engine is more than enough to move this motoring mass in a hurry, producing 390 HP and 394 pound-feet of torque. This near-400-HP production results in a towing capacity that maxes out at 8,500 pounds. Also, all-wheel-drive boosts traction and the seven-speed automatic transmission keeps everything easy to operate.



This SUV packs in both heated and cooled seats to keep passengers pleased in all conditions. A rear DVD entertainment system makes longer trips far more palatable, while lane-keeping assist and blind-spot intervention combine to enhance safety for all. All told, it’s a heck of a package.

Not all pickups are created equal. The 2019 Nissan Titan is a different breed, and the upper-trim SL model is really one that we believe you’ll find irresistible thanks to its menagerie of safety features, welcomed comfort inclusions, and awesome powertrain.

When you drive this truck, you’ll be heading down the roads of Renton and Seattle with quite a bit of peace of mind. There’s a full suite of airbags (front, rear, side-curtain) as well as brake assist and four-wheel independent suspension. Notably, the speed-sensitive windshield wipers are both 
a passenger security and a convenience feature—they automatically adjust their operating speed to match the intensity of falling rain. And those who test this pickup also dig its MP3 and SiriusXM support, touchscreen inclusion, and heated front seats.


The 2019 Nissan Titan SL is also packed with a 5.6L eight-cylinder engine that creates a total of 390 horses at 5,800 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 394 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 RPM. This is matched to a seven-speed automatic transmission for smooth sailing at all times.

Why settle for less than supercar technology? Really—we’re serious! Nissan understands that just because the Altima is a four-door sedan doesn’t mean it has to be ordinary, which is why the 2019 version comes with an engine that benefits from a special manufacturing process.

The 2019 Altima’s 2.5L motor is made using a high-tech mirror bore process that reduces friction while simultaneously enhancing efficiency. This is achieved by removing the bulky cylinder liners and, as a result, the whole unit runs more smoothly.



The treatment used on the Altima’s engine was first incorporated when manufacturing the GT-R. Now, the parts are made on the Decherd assembly line, and it’s now the highest volume use of the tech at the company. In fact, a 2019 Nissan Altima engine can be produced as quickly as every 19 seconds!

"Advanced technology like the mirror bore process only makes sense for Nissan if we can offer it to as many customers as possible," said Jay Boyte, director of engineering at Decherd Powertrain Plant, Nissan North America. "The end result is an innovative and efficient engine made with manufacturing technology usually not available at this volume or price point.”

buy a nissan in kirkland“Nissan” as you know it wasn’t always, well, Nissan.

Here’s the scoop: Back in 1914, Kwaishinsha Co.’s Kenjiro Den, Rokuro Aoyama and Meitaro Takeuchi endeavored to build an automobile. They used the first letter of each of their last names to christen the 10-HP machine they produced the “DAT,” which means “lively” or “agile” in Japanese.

In the same year, Lila Company and Kwaishinsha Co. merged; five years later in 1919, the aforementioned merged with Jitsuyo Jidosha Co., a three-wheel-car producer. The result was Dat Jidosha Seizo Co. Then, in 1931, that entity teamed up with Tobata Casting Company to make “Datson” cars (literally “son of DAT”). Later, that name would be tweaked to “Datsun” to reflect the national symbol of Japan, the sun. If you’ve been around a while, you may even remember Datsun machines, even if you’re American!

Finally, on June 1, 1934, Nihon Sanyo and Tobata Casting paired up, eventually leading to the creation of “Nissan Motors.”

That’s quite the storied—and complex—history, isn’t it? If you have any questions or wish to learn more, don’t hesitate to give us a call at Kirkland Nissan today!

This EV is all about smart efficiency. It is packed with a motor that produces 147 horsepower.

buy a nissan in kirklandThe ever-popular Maxima is one of Nissan’s best sellers—and it isn’t difficult to understand why. Sedans never go out of style; they offer both single individuals and families a combination of style and practicality. The 2018 model, for instance, is wonderfully sleek and curvaceous yet still has those four doors for easy access. Even better, though, is the fact you can make your Maxima your own by selecting from an excellent range of metallic exterior paint colors.

There are six high-gloss colors to choose from on this vehicle. Those that enjoy a neutral tone that’s a bit more reserved yet still dazzling can go for Super Black or Gun Metallic (great names, right?). Similarly, Pearl White or Brilliant Silver are very popular choices—that white really is as pure as snow. And for those that want to stand out from the crowd a bit, there’s Deep Blue and Carnelian Red.

The 2018 Maxima has power to back up all that style, too. It comes with a 3.5L six-cylinder that kicks out 300 horses and 261-lb.-ft. of torque. And because of its continuously variable transmission (CVT), it easily manages an average MPG of 21 city/30 highway.
