This complimentary service, which includes labor for installation and inspection, is being offered until January 31, 2019, at over 50 Nissan dealerships.
 
“We are heartbroken by the devastation of these wildfires and want to help those who have been affected in some way,” said Kevin Wagstaff, Regional VP, Nissan North America in a press release. “We can only hope this offer of a free in-cabin microfilter replacement provides some relief as communities begin to rebuild.” 
 
It’s very important for Nissan owners impacted by the wildfires to have their vehicles inspected and to replace the in-cabin microfilters. This is a key component since its job is to clean the air entering the cabin by trapping pollen, bacteria, dust and exhaust gases. If left untouched, it could compromise the car’s interior air quality. 
 
The automaker has also committed to performing free multi-point inspections on Nissan vehicles brought in for in-cabin microfilter replacements, along with deferring payment options and providing employee pricing on new vehicles for Northern California and Northern Los Angeles residents affected by the wildfires. 
 
From all of us at Kirkland Nissan, our hearts go out to those touched by this disaster. To learn more about the important causes that Nissan supports, call our dealership today.
buy a used nissan xterra near seattle washingtonRumours have begun to bubble up that alongside the release of the new Frontier, Nissan may be planning to bring back the Xterra, an SUV that was discontinued in 2015.

Traditionally based on the undercarriage of the Frontier, the Nissan Xterra was built to be a comfortable and passenger-friendly alternative to the pickup. Whispers of a 7-seat, 3-row configuration have been circulating around the world wide web, confirming that consumers will have the opportunity to fill their vehicles with people— instead of bits of wood, sheet metal, or whatever else goes in a truck. And like its midsize cousin, the new Xterra will be versatile, able to handle both a morning commute or an impromptu vacation through the great outdoors with ease.

Speaking to media at the Tokyo Auto Show last year, Ashwani Gupta (vice president of Renault-Nissan’s light commercial vehicle department) hinted strongly that this car’s debut would occur at the upcoming 2018 Beijing exhibit.

Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Announces $1 Billion Venture Capital Automotive Fund to Benefit Seattle, World

The world’s premier automotive partnership, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, announced this week the launch of Alliance Ventures. It stands as a new fund determined to invest as much as $1 billion into industry innovation over the course of the next five years.



The venture capital fund’s first year is expected to bring the investment of approximately $200 million in various promising start-ups that focus on the advancement of worldwide mobility, artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous systems. By the “midterm” period of the company’s plan—2022—Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi expects to have the largest corporate endowment of its type.



Alliance Ventures will first invest in US-based Ionic Materials. That company is currently dedicated to the development of solid-state, cobalt-free battery materials that could find future use in such Nissan EVs as the zero-emissions LEAF. The 2018 version of that vehicle is set to deliver an all-electric output of 147 HP and 236-lb.-ft. of torque with a driving range of 150 miles on a single charge.



Give us a call today to discuss all that Nissan has planned through 2022!


In the mood for a fun 3D experience? Actually, a better question: down for a Star Wars interactive web extravaganza? Yup—we thought so! And that’s exactly what Nissan has delivered with their “Command Your Craft” offering.

Available on NissanUSA.com/StarWars, the experience is entirely gesture-based and lets players take control of The Last Jedi-inspired vehicles crafted directly by the Japanese manufacturer. Want to fight the bad guys? Represent as Poe Dameron and hop into a BB-8-loaded X-wing (the 2018 Rogue). Feeling a little mischievous, and, well, “evil” today? Embrace the Dark Side as Kylo Ren in his TIE Silencer (2018 Maxima). You can use your hands to raise, rotate, and summon on-screen cars.



The breakthrough Star Wars 3D experience utilizes Google’s TensorFlow. The software library is open-source and wields machine learning to recognize and categorize images. It’s cutting-edge, just in time for The Last Jedi, and perfect to use for representing cars like the 2018 Maxima. That vehicle offers suitably futuristic performance, providing 50-to-70 mph passing power in a class-leading 3.8 seconds (wow)! And when you need to make a quick stop, you can go from that top speed down to a standstill in only 178 feet.

Call us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle at any time to discuss the “Command Your Craft” experience and/or the 2018 Rogue and Maxima!
