The future of mobility has arrived - with Nissan unveiling its Brain-To-Vehicle technology. This collection of synapse detectors and pattern decoders will redefine the driving experience, bridging the gap between man and machine. Science is no longer fictional.

According to Nissan, the Brain-To-Vehicle system will serve as the first of its kind - delivering real-time scans of each driverâ€™s thought patterns to refine acceleration, steerage, and other performance metrics. How is this possible? The answer lies in the form of intense analyzation.

Step One: drivers will don a proprietary skull-cap - which contains autonomous measurement systems. Electrodes will attach gently to the skin and provide direct connections to every brain wave.

Step Two: with each mile the Brain-To-Vehicle system will assess driver patterns, measuring sudden spikes in movement-related cortical potential (MRCP, which guides coordinated motions) and error-related potential (ERP, which delivers a flight-or-flight response in the wake of anxiety-inducing scenarios). These both release specific wave signals, making them easy to detect and observe.

Step Three: by recognizing when drivers are experiencing MCRP and ERP waves, the system can then intuitively chart a course of action - automatically adjusting vehicle speed, re-aligning lane position, and releasing forward collision scans. The intention is to interpret what riders feel, providing them with instantaneous support on the highway. Responses are faster and perfectly in-tune with changing conditions.

With the integration of Brain-To-Vehicle technology, Nissan will fuse its entire fleet with advanced automation - directly accessing thought signals to ensure immediate responses. Prepare, Seattle, for a new kind of road experience.

The water rises - tumbling steadily across a bank, winding its way to the pavement beyond. The current is quick; the mud is thick; and you frown inside your sedan, knowing its sloping chassis will prove thoroughly unsuitable for this adventure. Itâ€™s time to turn back.

Itâ€™s also time to seek out an SUV.

Nissan believes that every terrain can be conquered - even ones soaked in river water. This is why itâ€™s paired the 2018 Armada with class-leading ground clearance, allowing drivers to roll over any obstacle with ease.

According to the Milford Mirror, the 2018 Armada dominates every road - with its massive body able to sail across each challenge. Resting on 18-inch aluminum wheels, this platform can effortlessly maneuver over rocks and rivers alike. Its extended wheelbase (121.1-inches) boasts an angled front track, which curves the 67.5-inch base upward to eliminate overhangs. The raised door arches offer 34.8-inches of lift-over height, while the double-wishbone suspension has been raised to elevate the entire chassis. This ensures both increased ground clearance and a more efficient ride, with Nissan able to bolster responses with stabilizing axles and shock absorbers.

When these elements combine they allow the 2018 Armada to achieve 9.1-inches of ground clearance - enabling drivers to rev past every terrain with the press of the pedal. The platform has been raised to ensure maximum capability and minimum underbody damage. Integrated skid plates and debris shields further enhance the experience, protecting each system from harm.

If you love the design, utility and technology attributes of Nissanâ€™s best-selling Rogue, but have an itch for something sportier, smaller and with more urban street cred, the 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport deserves a closer look. This week, Nissan released a mid-year refresh of the crossover and itâ€™s loaded with more standard features than ever before.

Now, drivers enjoy Auto Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert on all 2018.5 models. The mid-year update also includes standard Intelligent Cruise Control on the SL trim or by purchasing an SV Technology Package.Â

The real star of these standard inclusions is Auto Emergency Braking, which is already offered on seven other Nissan models (including the Altima, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, Rogue and Sentra). With this Nissan Safety Shield technology, drivers are alerted of a potential collision with audible and visual alerts. If a braking response isnâ€™t put into action, the Rogue Sport will intervene and stop the vehicle.

See how it works here:

The 2018 Rogue Sport is available in front-wheel drive or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive in three well-equipped grade levels â€“ S, SV and SL. Power comes from the 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine, which produces 141 horsepower. Other mechanical specs include Xtronic transmission with eco-mode and a four-wheel independent suspension. Due to the Rogue Sportâ€™s compact design, it boasts impressive maneuverability and a fun-to-drive experience, making it a well-suited choice for urbanites.

Weâ€™re not surprised. The new NV offers an adaptable design that proves ideal for Seattle families. Inside its expansive cabin - which measures 241-inches long, 80-inches wide, and 85-inches high - are 324 unique seating configurations. The interior can accommodate up to 12 passengers, with four available rows allowing for maximum flexibility. Choose from a selection of captainâ€™s chairs and benches to define every adventure; and take advantage of a custom cargo bay, which combines six D-rings with 57 integrated reinforced mounting points to deliver class-leading storage (up to 234.1 cu.-ft).

A simple - and slow - truth defines the crossover world: these platforms were never intended for speed. Instead their value is linked to comfort, with sprawling cabins and high rooflines adapting to every passenger need. Theyâ€™re big, bulky, and happy to languish on the road.

Nissan thinks itâ€™s time to change this - which is why itâ€™s transformed the 2019 Qashqai into a quicksilver performer.

According to Motor One, the new Qashqai defies all conventions - reigning as the fastest SUV in the world. Boasting a supercharged DCI inline-four engine, this platform sails down the road, delivering a staggering 2,000 HP. Its sport-tuned suspension pairs with Intelligent AWD to ensure peerless handling, with an electronic throttle transferring torque between the wheels to accommodating changing terrains; while the six-speed manual transmission enables drivers to control every motion through a crisp mid-range gear set.

The result is an SUV that can dominate every circuit - with the 2019 Qashqai yielding a top-speed ratio of 237.8 MPH! This crushes the competition, with Motor One noting that the last champion (the Agera RS) managed only 221.3 MPH.

How did Nissan achieve such an impressive number? It partnered with UK aftermarket specialist, Severn Valley Motorsport, to enhance the Qashqaiâ€™s DCI powerpoint. The result was a custom-tuned engine that could yield more than 1,000 lb.-ft of torque.

Impressed? We are!

Less isnâ€™t more. This is the mantra chanted by Nissan engineers - with every line of the big-wheeled Armada Platinum fused with a supersized sensibility. Cargo no longer proves a challenge. Instead even the most unwieldy items can be packed away with ease, with this platform delivering ample storage options for every family.

Bigger really is better in Seattle.

As In Forum explains, the 2018 Armada Platinum emphasizes space. Inside its massive cabin (208.9-inches long, 79.9-inches wide, 75.8-inches high) is a total passenger volume of 95.4 cu.ft. The tri-tow design yields maximum value, utilizing a series of innovative storage technologies to adapt to any demand. The leather seats boast a 60/40 split-folding configuration, fitting snugly against the floor to accommodate large cargo; while a power lift-gate delivers quick access to the rear bay. A padded center console sits in the second row, providing easy organization for tablets, laptops, and other devices; and side-trays unfold from the back of the SUV to ensure custom support. Under-mounted solutions (including bins and slide-out cubbies) further assist drivers, enabling them to neatly tuck away everyday items.

The 2018 Armada also features eight strategically placed tie-downs - all of which can be used to securely strap in luggage, sporting equipment, and other goods. Use these cargo bay options on every adventure.

Nissan believes that Seattle drivers deserve more than basic storage options. This is why itâ€™s bolstered the new Armada with a cavernous cabin design - ensuring seamless solutions for every item.

2018 Nissan Kicks Delivers Strong Economy In Seattle

The competition is fierce - with crossovers warring at the pump, trying to secure the highest MPG ratios. They know that drivers will no longer abide inefficient engines, and they seek to push the boundaries of economy with every mile.

They neednâ€™t bother. This battle is already decided.

According to the NY Daily News, the 2018 Kicks (Nissanâ€™s latest crossover platform) will deliver class-leading economy - with its combined MPG ratio anticipated to reach 33. This places it far above the competition, with even the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3 only able to generate a 31 rating.

How will it deliver such impressive results? The NY Daily News explains that Nissan emphasizes finely-tuned performance. Its 1.6L DOHC engine pairs continuous variable valve timing with an advanced 16-valve design - increasing overall air intake levels to optimize revs. The FWDâ€™s mounting position promotes a lower curb weight (2,489 pounds), which requires less power to propel the car forward; while the XTronic automatic transmission provides crisp responses, nimbly shifting between each gear ratio to eliminate clutch strain. All of these elements greatly reduce the amount of fuel needed per mile, and they enable the Kicks to more efficiently distribute its resources.

This promises a best-in-class MPG rating - with Seattle drivers now able to devote themselves to four-cylinder fun, rather than standing at the pump. Take advantage of this Juke-inspired platform's spirited performance (125 HP, 115 lb.-ft of torque) with every press of the pedal.

2018 Nissan Kicks Promises Ample Standard Features In Seattle
Tags:

(Posted on Apr 22, 2018 at 12:56AM by Lee Byard)

Standard is an unflattering word. When spoken by drivers it conjures images of lackluster specs and mediocre performance - the middling options slapped onto a chassis. This should change, however, with the release of the 2018 Kicks.

Nissan is injecting new energy into the standard feature concept - and Seattle drivers will soon find themselves experiencing premium technology on entry-level trims.

According to the NY Daily News, the 2018 Kicks (which will serve as the successor to the much-beloved Juke) is on its way - and itâ€™s bringing a comprehensive suite of standard features. No longer will drivers have to piece together advanced options through packages and aftermarket add-ons. Instead theyâ€™ll find themselves greeted by top-tier functionality, including:

Bluetooth - utilize integrated links to power both smartphones and the NissanConnect console (which delivers access to voice-activated apps and navigation software). This ensures that drivers experience no hot-spot lags and can always engage with their devices.

USB Inputs - three ports are provided, offering seamless content uploading from tablets, music players, and other compatible devices. These are placed in both the front and the rear to allow for full passenger convenience.

Rearview Camera - take advantage of real-time streaming and high-definition pixels, with this function providing comprehensive environmental scanning (courtesy of the radar sensors placed along the bumper).

Automatic Emergency Braking - intuitive front-mounted scanners survey the terrain, using extensive 3D mapping to note both uncertain traffic patterns and unsafe terrains. If an obstacle is sensed, these systems will release a forward collision warning through the NissanConnect monitor and then gently engage the ABS to reduce the chance of impact.

With the inclusion of these features, the 2018 Kicks offers superior technology with every purchase. To learn more contact us today!

2018 Nissan Rogue Sport Brings Intelligent Cruise Control To Seattle

The road proves fickle - with straightaways yielding to sudden curves and hills rising with no warning. You try to navigate the chaos, pressing sharply against a brake; but your efforts canâ€™t counter the constant changes. Tires spin, the steering column shifts, and you give a sharp shriek as your car skids across the pavement.

This terrible adventure ends with no casualties. Nissan knows, however, that this could easily change - which is why itâ€™s fused the 2018 Rogue Sport with Intelligent Cruise Control technology.

According to Auto Guide, the new Rogue Sport delivers premium responses to Seattle. Anchoring this platform is advanced Intelligent Cruise Control - which promotes precise steering and careful speed regulation. Radar sensors are mounted to the front bumper, offering constant environmental scanning. These functions utilize 3D geo-fencing to assess both the road and current traffic patterns, creating a real-time digital map of each mile. Should they detect an obstacle (such as an approaching curve or a too-close vehicle) they will release a series of signals throughout the chassis.

These signals will spread to intuitive points of control - the steering wheel (which will automatically re-align itself to ensure optimum positioning), the brakes (which will gently engage to limit acceleration), and the central media console (which will emit audible warnings to notify the driver of a possible impediment). Speed will be reduced to ensure a safe experience.

This, Nissan knows, is the value of Intelligent Cruise Control - and itâ€™s why the 2018 Rogue Sport proves such a vital addition to the Seattle streets. Utilize this SUV to counter ever-changing terrains with ease.
