Have you been shopping for a new Nissan? You may have a difficult time deciding which one to buy, since they are all filled to the brim with such wonderful features. It can be hard to determine the ideal combination of amenities you most want or need. However, by gaining a better appreciation for what each aspect of the vehicle does, you may find the process of choosing your car a bit easier.
In the 2018 Nissan Versa S Plus, for instance, you’ll appreciate torsion beam rear suspension with coil springs. You may not know exactly how great this could be for the longevity of your automobile. Here’s why you’ll definitely want it in your next car. Also called twist-beam suspension, the technology relies on an H-shaped piece that connects to the body of the automobile.
The rear of the H piece has a stub-axle assembly, and the cross beam of the H holds the two trailing arms together. This provides the suspension with roll stiffness, by twisting as the two trailing arms move vertically, relative to each other.
Torsion beam suspension tends to be very durable and lightweight. In addition, it fulfills the role of an anti-roll bar, which protects you in the event of a crash. Want to test drive the Versa S Plus for yourself? Hurry in toKirkland Nissan near Kent, Washington, and take it for a spin!Â

Sometimes, the basic parts of your car can be the most confusing. There are plenty of automobile features that might seem self-explanatory, but understanding exactly how they work can be another story entirely.
Take, for instance, the tire pressure monitor in your vehicle. This is an electronic system in your car that can be direct or indirect. According to the TREAD Act, passed in 2006 by Congress, all autos are required to be equipped with the technology.
A direct system uses a sensor mounted in the wheel to measure the air pressure. When it falls below 25% of the recommended level, it will alert you.
An indirect system works with your vehicle’s anti-lock brakes. If the tire pressure is low, that wheel will roll more slowly than the others. In turn, it will be detected by the car’s computer and send you a notification.
The 2018 Nissan Versa S sedan is equipped with this technology. It has a number of other assistive features, including power steering and ABS. Variable speed intermittent wipers also go a long way toward protecting you in bad weather.
