Did you know that the Nissan GT-R Premium has quite the storied history? It actually started out as part of the automaker’s Skyline series. Though no longer part of that lineup, the sports car has deep roots in the world of racing.

The GT-R is a two-door vehicle that is considered to be in the 2+2 style, which means it has very small rear seats for children or for occasional use. It was launched in
1969, when it was called the Nissan Skyline GT-R, and it enjoyed great success both on the highway and on the race track.


Today, the GT-R maintains its pedigree with four-wheel drive and a twin turbo V6 engine. It still relies on many signature touches, like four round tail lights. The official United States launch of this model as we know it today didn’t come until 2008. Nissan’s Chief Creative Officer has likened the new version to the robots from the popular Gundam anime series.

The 2017 GT-R Premium is a wonderful and athletic choice for both everyday driving and special occasions. If you’re in the Bothell, Washington, area and want to step into a piece of automobile history, stop by Kirkland Nissan for a test drive. You’re sure to have a wonderful time behind the wheel! 
Hey, Nissan fans! The prototype for the 2019 Altima has been released, and initial reviews are extremely positive. In an article this week by Roadshow, a division of CNET, the reviewer described the new model as being largely similar to the greatness of past versions, but with a huge number of improvements.

Roadshow felt that the largest thing of note in the new Altima was its engine. For the first time ever, it uses a 2.0-liter KR20DETT VC-Turbo. This variety has been seen previously, but only in INFINITI’s QX50 crossover. By adding it to the Nissan lineup, the automaker is going a long way towards improving the brand’s powertrain.



What is VC, you might ask? Well, it stands for variable compression. Rather than use a fixed proportion, this great engine employs a multi-link design that can adjust the stroke of the pistons based on throttle input. The lower the ratio, the better for power delivery. On the flip side, a high one improves overall efficiency. For you, this means on-demand oomph alongside much-improved fuel economy.

While you wait for this awesome new technology to hit showrooms, why not check out the 2018 Altima? It boasts many of the same great features as its soon-to-be-released successor. Hurry

It’s always interesting to learn more about your favorite auto brands. For instance, did you know that Nissan actually was the Japanese manufacturer of the vehicle most like the American Ford Model T?

In 1934, engineering conglomerate Nihon Sangyo Co., Ltd acquired Datsun. This company would later become Nissan. They began to manufacture Japan’s first mass-produced car, the Type 15.

The Type 15 was available in a variety of body styles, including a mini-pickup, delivery van, coupe, and a convertible. The vehicle was powered by a 747-cc 4-cylinder engine, which produced 15 horsepower through a 3-speed transmission.

Nissan also played a part in British auto production. In 1952, they entered an agreement to build and sell cars for Austin, a large company in England. At first, these vehicles were assembled as kits, within three years they began to be put together locally.

This partnership permitted Nissan to make use of Austin’s patents, which launched the Japanese manufacturer on a forward trajectory to its modern status.

There are a number of wonderful vehicles ready for a test run, including the beautiful and sporty 370Z Coupe Touring.

2018 nissan armada platinum for sale in seattle washingtonWhen it comes to top-of-the-line safety features, no one does it better than Nissan. Engineers have developed the best technology over the years to help prevent accidents on the road. Understanding that not every incident will be your fault, these technicians have created operations that work to avoid collisions with other transports.

Come see it work firsthand. Contact Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington to schedule a test drive in a pre-owned Armada today!
Welcome to the Nissan fact of the day column! There’s a lot you may not know about the popular automaker. For instance, were you aware that it’s actually a very large company?

In 1999, Nissan formed an alliance with Renault. Today, theirs is the longest-running transnational partnership between two major auto manufacturers. They share stakes in each other’s companies, the former having a 15% stake in the latter. When considered together, this is the world’s fourth-largest vehicle maker.


Even better? Nissan has played a large part in advancing the role of female spokespeople for the industry. In 1936, before other manufacturers were doing so, the company hired four women to be brand ambassadors. Today, they still employ a popular group known as the “Miss Fair Lady” team.

One last tidbit for your day? The Nissan Pulsar GTi-R, a 227-horsepower, AWD hatchback was designed with rally driving in mind. The automaker hid a surprise folded-up umbrella in the frame of the vehicle. How cool!

Kirkland Nissan has a variety of fantastic vehicles on the lot that
are ready for a test drive. How about the 2018 Titan SV? It’s the perfect truck for your summertime adventures. It comes complete with the capacity to haul and has a convenience package to make road trips even better. Hurry in and check it out for yourself!
