Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Dominate the Pacific in the 2018 Frontier Desert Runner. Though named for the Baja sand, this half-ton beast will prove a worthy companion on every Washington byway - delivering class-leading performance and all-terrain power.

Are you ready to kick up some dirt?



According to Nissan, the 2018 Frontier Desert Runner will impress on every backroad. Under its hood growls a 4.0L V6, capable of yielding 261 HP and 281 lb.-ft of torque. Bilstein high-pressure shocks line the undercarriage, absorbing the impact of every rut; while 16-inch aluminum wheels push through any obstacle. A seven-speed automatic transmission optimizes the 4x2 drivetrain, ensuring seamless incline management through its crisp gear-to-gear transitions; and 265/75R16 all-terrain tires boast deep tread patterns, allowing them to cling to every corner.

Inside the 2018 Desert Runner drivers will find a series of white-faced meter gauges. Each highlights a specific metric - including fuel levels, tire pressure, and engine temperatures - to provide drivers with real-time performance assessment. Keep track of how each mile impacts your vehicle.

With the release of the new Frontier, Nissan allows adventurers to seek out every terrain. To learn more about this pick-up contact our team today.

The idea proves less than stellar - with a series of frayed straps looped around a pick-up bed, their tattered ends straining against the wind. Every buckle seems ready to snap; each cord is poised to break; and you know that this trip will end with your cargo bouncing down the highway. What else can you do, however? Your truck simply wasn’t designed to accommodate this kind of long-haul payload.

Nissan recommends that you hurry to your nearest dealership - and ask about the 2018 Frontier.



According to a recent press release, the 2018 Frontier delivers superior payload solutions - offering Seattle drivers the Utili-Track system. This exclusive Nissan option adapts to even the toughest loads through its advanced modules. Five 'C' cross-section rails are mounted along the rails to ensure multiple tie-down points. Removable utility cleats slide within the embedded liner tracts, allowing for quick clamp connections; while moveable cargo trays accommodate small items with ease. Adjustable tool boxes line the sides to offer custom storage, and extenders can be added to the tailgate to creates inches of extra space (perfect for lumber and off-road toys).

To further enhance the hauling experience, Nissan has bolstered the Utili-Track system with a heavy-duty bed-liner - coating the Frontier’s rear in scratch-resistant rubber. No longer fear those supersized payloads.

With the inclusion of the Utili-Track system, Nissan ensures that every driver can avoid those cumbersome cords - allowing them to instead customize their cargo and improve their storage.

It’s a collection of practical lines - economical design and efficient styling. You peer at the long span of a pick-up, noting the fenders meant to reduce drag and the tires intended to crush the pavement. There isn’t one functional detail missing… nor is there anything that inspires. This big-framed box is terribly dull.

We suggest that you seek a more interesting alternative - like the 2018 Frontier!



Nissan has just unveiled its latest Frontier - and this pick-up will please every Seattle driver. Anchoring the front is a chrome grille, which emphasizes the hulking frame (291-inches of length and 73-inches of width). Tubular step rails draw attention to the aerodynamic side panels, while fog lights deliver a boomerang-style shape. Splash guards protect the 16-inch six-spoke steel wheels, while bed-rail and mirror caps provide a burst of metallic shine. A tailgate spoiler brings depth to the rear, and an optional power sliding moonroof creates a chic addition.

Nissan believes in the power of color - which is why it’s fused the 2018 Frontier with a bold line-up. Catch both the light and every stare by choosing: Forged Copper, Brilliant Silver, Arctic Blue Metallic, and more. Tinted glass and LED accents complete the effect.

The 2018 Frontier proves a striking addition to the pick-up market - allowing drivers to discover more than mere practicality. For further information about this Nissan platform (or to schedule a test-drive in one of our current models) contact us today.

The highway miles hold no appeal for you - offering none of the adventures you crave, delivering only smooth lines and familiar pavement. These roads are too mild to ever impress; and you find yourself longing to explore what waits beyond.

Allow Nissan to help you - by fusing the 2018 Frontier PRO-4X with a series of all-terrain technologies. Prepare to seek out thrills beyond the byways!



As the Chicago Sun Times explains, the new Frontier PRO-4X delivers a premium off-road experience. Bilstein shocks frame the chassis, ensuring balanced handling on even the toughest terrains. Skid plates shield the undercarriage from pebbles and broken pavement, while an electronic differential enhances the suspension (automatically engaging when extra traction is needed and transferring power among the wheels).

To further delight adventurers, the 2018 Frontier also boasts two distinctive gear boxes - a five-speed automatic and a six-speed manual. Choose the former to experience seamless performance, with the system intuitively shifting between ratios to accommodate changing trails; or trust your own abilities with the latter, utilizing its precise design to control every rev.

With the release of the 2018 PRO-4X, Nissan provides off-road fun for every Seattle driver. To learn more about this pick-up contact our team today.

Across the border waits a beast - a snarling diesel-toothed monster, with its back lined in chrome and its tires stomping against the ground. This V8 prowls the streets of Mexico, its six-speed manual transmission delivering a throaty growl with every mile. It’s ferocious; it’s powerful; it’s… refusing to come to Seattle.

Recently Nissan revealed the 2018 Frontier NP300. This twin-turbo platform has already revved to the top of the charts in Mexico, decimating the competition with its low-range 4x4 drivetrain. Seattle critics, however, can’t afford to go down south to see it - and they’re now clamoring for a U.S. release.

Will it happen?



According to TFL Truck, Nissan is considering bringing the NP300 to the United States. High consumer interest has proven the viability of a diesel Frontier, and the platform could serve as a direct competitor for the Ford F-150 and the Toyota Tacoma. Should it cross the border, critics anticipate that it would boast a 2.5L turbocharged engine, yielding 161 HP and 297 lb.-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission would provide superior handling, allowing drivers to control every gear; while an estimated 5,000-pound payload capacity would promise mid-size adaptability, accommodating day-to-day hauls with ease.

No official confirmation about the Frontier NP300’s arrival has been given - but we have our fingers crossed that this diesel beast will make its way to Seattle.

It’s an expectation of size - with the Nissan Frontier forever tailored to half-ton performance. This pick-up (with its hulking all-wheel-drive and elongated bed) embraces a bigger is better design, ensuring that Seattle consumers can achieve every towing goal. 

With the release of the 2019 Frontier, however, Nissan seeks to redefine the driving experience.



According to Auto Evolution, the 2019 Frontier will straddle the line between power and efficiency - serving as a compact alternative to the half-ton market. Nissan will fuse this platform with a shortened wheelbase (exact dimensions are currently unknown but critics expect numbers that will rival the new Ranger, measuring approximately 211-inches) and a four-cylinder V6 engine. An aluminum-infused body-on-frame construction will ensure nimble handling, while the inclusion of a six-speed manual transmission will eliminate the extra heft of an automatic. When these elements combine, they will provide a lightweight design: which will allow drivers to more efficiently navigate the downtown streets.

The new Frontier, critics explain, is intended for everyday hauls - with its naturally-aspirated powertrain embracing agile responses. This will redefine the half-ton market and deliver a streamlined pick-up experience.

buy a new nissan frontier in seattle washingtonIt's been eight year since the Frontier received a makeover - with Nissan choosing to focus on performance instead of style. Luckily for Seattle drivers, however, a fully updated mid-size platform is coming soon!

Construction is alleged to be taking place in Nissan’s Canton, MS plant alongside the Titan and Murano. The truck’s design is believed to be based 
off its global counterpart the Navara, which features exterior styling that’s both sleek and rugged— perfect for urban outings and industrial excursions alike.

The base model is expected to contain a powerful V6 under the hood, providing drivers with excellent towing and hitching capability that’s ideal for the midsize consumer market. Despite these changes, Seattleites can almost certainly rest assured that features like the 
limited slip active brakes and utili-track channel systems will remain, helping to tackle projects of all sizes with ease and efficiency.

Great news, mid-size truck shoppers! The 2018 Frontier is now available for sale at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington. If you haven’t had a chance to check out this all-new model, you’ll want to schedule your test drive in one today.
 
Since 1998, the Frontier has been a staple in Nissan’s line-up, delivering light commercial operators and truck enthusiasts with ample power and off-road capabilities. However, over its 20 years, the Frontier’s looks and standard features have largely remained unchanged – until now. 
 
For the 2018 MY, Nissan has given the Frontier a full refresh since its second-generation unveiling, which debuted in 2005. Enhancements now include the addition of a standard RearView Monitor across all models and updated base grade content, such as air conditioning, cruise control, a Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, 5.0-inch color display audio, and Siri Eyes Free. 
 
The 2018 Frontier is available in both King Cab and Crew Cab body styles and in 4x2 and 4x4 driveline configurations, along with a choice of two powerful engines: a 4.0-liter DOHC V6 rated at 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque and a 152-horsepower 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine (which is available only on the King Cab). Five well-equipped trim grades are also offered: Frontier S (with a 4-cylinder or V6 engine), SV, PRO-4X (4x4 only), Desert Runner (4x2 V6 only) and SL (Crew Cab V6 only).
 
But, that’s not all. Later this year, a new Midnight Edition Package will also be available on 2018 Frontier trucks. It will include a gloss black grille, 18-inch gloss black aluminum-alloy wheels, semi-gloss black step rails, body-color front and rear bumpers, black outside rearview mirrors and door handles, and black badging. Frontier owners can add a factory-direct Midnight Edition to Crew Cab SV 4x2 and 4x4 automatic transmission models in a choice of Magnetic Black, Gun Metallic and Glacier White.

Last fall, Nissan announced that their Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant in Mississippi will be the new home of the next-generation Frontier pickup truck. And since then, Frontier fanatics have been anxiously awaiting more details of this highly anticipated mid-size workhorse. 
 
Nissan has yet to release a timeline for the redesigned Frontier, but automotive speculators expect that the newcomer will go into production this year in preparation to launch the 2019 MY truck. It has also been confirmed by a top Nissan executive that the all-new Frontier will feature a V6 engine under the hood. As for what kind of six-cylinder engine, that’s still to be determined. However, industry insiders expect it to be a naturally aspirated V6 with a focus on reliability, making it an ideal contender as a work truck.
 
 
The timing for a next-gen Frontier couldn’t be better, as the mid-size pickup has been long overdue for a complete refresh. It certainly could benefit with newer equipment, updated styling, and a more refined interior to contend with modern rivals. Then again, for many Frontier drivers, they prefer the current model just as it is since it offers affordable work truck abilities, a configurable cargo box, and nice driving dynamics.
 
But, as we have seen with other Nissan refreshes, the best just keeps getting better – and we expect the same with this mid-size pickup.

The adventurous, well-equipped 2018 Nissan Frontier recently ushered journalists and guests on the second leg of a fascinating archaeological and driving journey. While the first stage of the massive expedition began last September in Brazil’s Serra do Cipó, the adventure now continues in Piauí, the site of one of the world’s greatest prehistoric rock art locations.

Part of the UNESCO World Heritage list, Piauí is a natural wonder and the perfect candidate for Nissan’s expedition. The 2018 Frontier safely ferried all guests across the backcountry, or “Sertão," directly to where prehistoric rock art was created by South American inhabitants roughly 29,000 years ago. In total, the general area of Serra da Capivara National Park features 940 archaeological sites holding the aforementioned majesty, including a 50,000-year-old fire pit that represents the earliest traces of human activity in the region.



The 2018 Nissan Frontier is particularly equipped for this once-in-a-lifetime excursion. The rough-and-tumble truck is refreshed and enhanced for this new model year, offering all-wheel drive and a spectacular motor. The available 4.0L V6 engine is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission and works to produce a stellar 261 horses and 281-lb.-ft. of torque.

Call us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle to hear more about the 2018 Frontier!
