Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
April has begun - but Nissan is still examining March, deciphering profit margins and sales figures. The month proved a boon for the brand, yielding record-breaking tallies across the crossover, sedan, and pick-up verticals.

Among the most impressive of those verticals was the 2018 Frontier - which, according to Nissan, generated a staggering 28% year-to-year increase. Approximately 9,000 total S, SV, SL, and PRO-4X models were sold in the United States last month (a sizable leap from 2017’s 6,973). This marks a milestone for the brand, proving the viability of the compact truck market and providing its Ford and Toyota competitors with much to consider. No longer do half-tons dominate every chart.



The Kirkland team must confess: we’re not surprised by the Frontier’s success. Throughout March we saw this truck roll off our lot again and again - with Seattle drivers thrilled by its potent power (up to 261 HP and 281 lb.-ft of torque) and convenient mid-size profile (219-inches long, 73-inches wide, 70-inches high). Its 73.2-inch bed length accommodates all payloads; while its smooth 4WD traverses every terrain with ease, utilizing both an active brake limited slip and an available electronic locking differential to stabilize the chassis.

The 2018 Frontier delivers everyday performance - making it a worthy alternative to the hulking F-Series and Tundra. To learn more about this platform contact us today!

Style is no longer cloistered within the confines of the sedan market. Instead Nissan is shattering expectations with its 2018 Rogue SV - a sleekly defined crossover that defies the traditional heavy lines and dull designs.
 

According to JD Power, this platform boasts a bold look - blending halogen accents with chrome trims. When paired with the exclusive Platinum Reserve Package, however, the SV transforms from striking to undeniable. Quilted inserts now define the seats, delivering bespoke stitching and rich textures. The steering wheel is wrapped in supple leather and features multi-level heating technologies; while a power panoramic moonroof offers easy access to cool breezes and coastal views. Soft-touch materials line the dash; and punches of black are found throughout the cushions, headliners, and consoles to create a chic effect.

The Platinum Reserve Package offers more than a refreshed interior. Instead Nissan also brings dynamic design to the fascia - with LED headlamps now framing the front. These recessed options perfectly complement the lean fenders and long body (185-inches).

With the release of the 2018 Rogue SV Nissan fuses function with fashion - delivering a new crossover experience to Seattle. To learn more about this platform contact our team today.
Spring has come to Seattle - with the remains of winter melting away and the temperatures finally rising. The sun has returned… and you’re ready to greet it.

Nissan shares your seasonal enthusiasm - which is why it’s fused the 2018 Rogue SV with an exclusive springtime package. Fill your adventures with Sun and Sound.



As the JD Power team explains, the 2018 Rogue SV boasts an exclusive Sun and Sound package. This collection of premium amenities will impress on every adventure. A power panoramic moonroof delivers one-touch tilting, allowing drivers to flood the cabin with light. A leather-wrapped steering wheel offers integrated heating technology, ensuring comfort on those still-chilly mornings; while a multi-setting memory system defines the front seats, allowing riders to customize their alignment preferences with ease. An eight-inch Around View monitor anchors the central console, providing access to 360-degree perspectives; and integrated TravelLink apps blend voice-activated interfacing with real-time local feeds (including weather, stock market shares, and more).

At the heart of the Sun and Sound Package, however, is the advanced audio system - which pairs nine Bose speakers with dual subwoofers for a robust baseline. The 2018 Rogue SV will be rocking and rolling down the Seattle streets.

Sedans promise economy; mini-vans offer comfort; and hatchbacks deliver convenience, with their five-door profiles accommodating every storage need. Each of these platforms boasts value for Seattle drivers… except on the backroads. There they all fail, yielding weak responses and slow control.

This is why Nissan recommends its 2018 Titan XD PRO-4X - a pick-up that has been tailored for adventure.



As JD Power explains, the new Titan XD adapts to every terrain. 18-inch alloy wheel deliver all-season traction and deep treading, allowing the truck to push past all obstacles. Bilstein shocks anchor the chassis, pairing high-capacity springs with a double-wishbone suspension to ensure smooth handling; while a solid front axle provides a stable ride. Skid plates line the undercarriage, protecting both the transfer case and radiator from debris; and LED lighting systems frame the fascia and cargo-bed alike to offer 360-degree illumination. This lets drivers quickly identify the safest paths while traveling.

To further improve performance, the 2018 PRO-4X also features an available lift kit. This yields an additional three inches of height, with adjustable coil-over shocks bolstering the suspension. Ground clearance is increased and Seattle adventurers can more easily tackle rough terrains (rocks, river beds, and deep ruts will no longer prove a concern).

The 2018 Titan XD PRO-4X provides impressive off-road capability - making it an ideal option for those who crave more than highway experiences. To learn more about this truck contact us today.
From a window you watch - apprehension trapped in your reflection, worry etched along your brow. Your teen is slipping behind the wheel of his first car… and all you can do is consider the terrible possibilities. Will he be safe? Will he be responsible? He promised that he would but trust proves a delicate thing; and it’s easily overwhelmed by concern.

Nissan understands. This is a milestone that every parent dreads - and letting your child onto the road (unsupervised, unobserved) is no simple task. This is why the 2018 LEAF has been designed to deliver superior support to every generation, utilizing a unique suite of youth-focused technologies. Check it out!



According to the NY Daily News, the 2018 LEAF has been tailored for teens. Within its NissanConnect infotainment console is a series of safety protocols - applications that regulate speed (utilizing adaptive cruise control to maintain highway limits), curfews (alerting young drivers to approaching pre-set time restrictions and sending text messages to their parents’ phones), and boundaries (with integrated mapping systems tracking every movement). These programs work in seamless tandem to provide greater peace of mind on the road.

They’re also ably assisted by a fully automated suite. Collision notifications are sent immediately to designated smartphones, alerting family members to the possibility of an accident; Emergency SOS programing allows teens to communicate with local medical or police personnel, ensuring that they’re never alone; and roadside assistance functions provide access to Nissan’s own in-house team. Through the Connect console, drivers of every age can experience true support.

The thought comes suddenly - a rush of words and worry. Is the car charged? You scowl against your pillow, searching your memory for the answer. Did you plug-in the port when you came home from work? Will the battery be ready for the morning? These questions blitz through your mind, followed by a nagging sense of doubt; and you… sigh, knowing that there will be no sleep until you check.

Nissan urges you to stay in bed - and reach instead for your phone.



As the NY Daily News explains, Nissan seeks to simplify the performance process - fusing its 2018 LEAF with an exclusive tech service. It delivers a direct connection between the hatchback and the driver’s phone, creating a custom app suite that provides real-time responses. Press a button to access comprehensive vehicle information (all streamed digitally to Apple or Android interfaces):

Remaining Drive-Range - this NissanConnect tool will monitor the battery, noting how many miles its current change levels can yield.

Plug-In Reminders - the system will notify drivers of low power levels and when to charge their batteries.

Automated Power - this application can be programed to initiate the charge process, with the LEAF’s port system identifying off-peak electricity rate hours and drawing energy more efficiently from the home.

Completion Notices - the system will alert users when the battery is fully charged, sparing them the need to repeatedly check the port.

With the release of the 2018 LEAF, Nissan embraces convenience: allowing drivers to devote their thoughts to more than energy levels. Utilize this Connect service (which is available for free for the first six months of ownership) to take control of every lithium-ion cell.

Technology is a forgotten guest at the house of power and performance - with its digital offerings ignored and its Hi-Fi sounds muffled. It earns no seat at the table, and it’s greeted with no smile (unlike its V8 siblings and solid axle cousins).

Nissan believes this to be unfair, however - and so it’s redefined the rules of pick-up etiquette. Technology will no longer be overlooked by the market. Instead the 2018 Titan XD S will fully embrace it.



As JD Power explains, the Titan XD S has been tailored for a new generation of half-ton drivers - with Nissan emphasizing infotainment with every mile. Anchoring the revised tech suite is a high-definition 5.0-inch display screen, which yields voice-activated interfacing and capacitive swipe-to-zoom functionality (easily access custom applications, like Pandora or Yelp). Wireless Bluetooth links power every smartphone and tablet, ensuring quick connectivity; while a four-speaker sound system delivers crisp notes from the AM/FM stereo. An integrated USB port further enhances content options, allowing users to sync their favorite files directly to the truck. Upload music, audio books, and more with the press of a button.

With the release of the 2018 Titan XD S, Nissan provides more than mere technology. It also accommodates everyday digital needs - with its center console delivering a wide-mouth design that can house a 15-inch laptop. Bringing your devices along for the ride has never been easier.

No longer compromise infotainment for power. Instead allow Nissan to provide a comprehensive highway experience.

Beyond the pavement waits adventure - with the roads fanning out from Seattle, leading toward hidden coastal trails and forgotten mountain terrains. Exploration proves endless… and difficult; and your wheezing pick-up simply can’t accommodate these strange new miles. It huffs, puffs, and then sags in defeat.

Nissan believes it’s time for an upgrade.



The 2018 Titan XD has made its Seattle debut - and, according to the JD team, it proves a worthy addition to every expedition. Bolstered by an exclusive 4x4 transfer case system, this truck can traverse any terrain. It utilizes an advanced power-band to evenly distribute torque between the wheels, with sensors assessing changing environmental conditions (such as snow, mud, or sand) and identifying the correct gear ratio for each. This ensures seamless off-road management, with the V8 engine tuned to each specific mile.

To further enhance performance, the new Titan XD also boasts a suite of driver-assistance features. Descent control regulates speed on sharp inclines, monitoring both the steering column and the wheels to ensure stable motions. A limited-slip differential anchors the brakes, increasing all ABS responses to improve grippage; while hill start technology optimizes engine revs, allowing the truck to more efficiently climb. There is no road that can’t be conquered.

Power is coming to Seattle - with the new 400z revving its way down the production line. This Nissan speedster (which is currently slated for a summertime release in 2019) will shatter every sedan record, leaving a trail of smoke and crying competitors in its wake.

Are you excited?



According to Business Insider, Nissan is gearing up for the ultimate performance reveal - with its 2019 400z rumbling to 399 HP and 350 lb.-ft of torque. Anchored by a 3.0L V6, it promises class-leading capability: blending twin-turbochargers with direct-injection precision. An all-wheel-drivetrain is expected (with a sport-tuned suspension and racing tires delivering superior track responses); while a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission will take full advantage of the 6,400-redline, smoothly shifting to each gear range.

To further propel the 400z past the competition, Nissan will fuse it with a shorter wheelbase - creating a more fluid design language that emphasizes aerodynamic side panels and slim fenders. This will allow the sedan to glide across the pavement with ease.

With the release of the 2019 400z, Nissan will bridge the gap between sedans and rally-runners. To learn more about this platform (including further specs or financing information) contact our team today.

It’s a sudden swerve - with your fingers slipping on the wheel and your focus drifting from the highway. The tedium of a commute has made you complacent; and you move from one lane to the next, crossing that yellow-lined border within the span of a second.

The 2019 Altima will ensure you don’t remain there.



According to The Verge, Nissan embraces automation with its latest Altima - bolstering the sedan with lane-keeping assistance technology. This innovative program is intended to counter driver error, ensuring optimal positioning on the highway and the backroads. Beneath the windshield sits a high-definition camera, which utilizes a wide-angle lens to monitor the surrounding terrain. Integrated radar sensors assess both vehicle trajectory and lane marker distance, while brake-actuated traction control steadies the wheels. Real-time responses are then engaged when the system detects potential concerns:

If the Altima ventures too closely to the lane markers, a series of audible beeps is released. This allows drivers to manually correct their paths, with a digital display guiding them to the proper alignment.

If the Altima veers past the markers, it automatically deploys both its adaptive cruise control and all-wheel ABS systems, taking control of the steering wheel and re-adjusting the vehicle position.

Each of these responses ensures superior safety on the highway - delivering immediate driver-assistance and seamless navigation. The 2019 Altima will prove ready for every roadway.
