Nissan has reason to celebrate â€“ as does the world. The all-new Leaf was just awarded theÂ 2018 World Green Car title at the New York Auto Show! With this win, the Leaf becomes the first all-electric vehicle to drive off with the prize.

The 2018 Nissan Leaf beat out the BMW 530e iPerformance and the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, solidifying the EV as a world-favorite for plug-in battery power. And, truly, weâ€™re not surprised!

Upon receiving the award, Nissanâ€™s Daniele Schillaci, Executive Vice President, Global Marketing and Sales, Zero Emission Vehicle and Battery Business, affirmed, â€œWeâ€™re very proud that since the Nissan Leaf launched in 2010, weâ€™ve been able to put more than 300,000 zero-emission electric vehicles on the road worldwide, helping to reduce carbon footprints around the globe. Weâ€™re honored to be recognized by this esteemed jury and are proud to continue to expand the vision of Nissan Intelligent Mobility.â€

The 2018 Nissan Leaf quickly rose to the top amongst the list of five initial category entries. It was also the only pure electric vehicle in the running. Judges measured the overall environmental impact, such as tailpipe emissions and fuel consumption, for each contender before selecting the overall winner.

Over seven years ago, the first-gen Nissan Leaf stole the title for World Car of the Year in 2011, so itâ€™s quite fitting that the EV has come full circle once again, but now sporting better range, performance and smarter technology.Â

If youâ€™d like to drive off a winner too, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington to go for a spin in a 2018 Leaf. Our inventory is stocked with options â€“ make one yours today.

2018 Nissan Altima SV Delivers Nimble Performance In Seattle

The wind proves strong on the highway - incessantly battering your car, slipping into the engine and radiator cracks. Itâ€™s cold; itâ€™s brutal; and it undermines performance, causing internal temperatures to wobble and speeds to slow.

Nissan believes itâ€™s time for a change - which is why itâ€™s transformed the 2018 Altima SV into a drag-reducing option for Seattle drivers.

According to Nissan, the new SV is primed for every gust. Active grille shutters now frame the front, employing automated technologies that allow them to open and close as needed (these greatly reduce the amount of air that enters the powertrain, with their advanced sensors detecting when pressure levels are beginning to build). The V-Motion grille decreases resistance, utilizing a sweeping shape to deflect wind pockets; while an optional spoiler diffuses friction at the rear. Underfloor aero-covers shield the suspension, and both the fenders and windows boast aerodynamic trims that sluice away unwelcome environmental factors.

When these elements combine, they enable the 2018 Altima SV to achieve a drag-coefficient of 0.26. This, as NASA explains, promises low friction and fewer temperature changes. Steady performance is achieved.

Itâ€™s an expectation of sophistication. Since its 1992 arrival the Nissan Altima has connected drivers to chic lines and subtle styling - emphasizing a refined ride with each mile. This sedan was meant to stand the test of time, refusing to follow the trends; and its classic profile allows it to transition through every decade.

Now, however, Nissan wishes to expand theÂ Altima'sÂ appeal - by fusing it with Midnight Edition drama.

According to a Nissan press release, the 2018 Altima is no longer content to offer mild design. Instead itâ€™s embracing its dark side - with the Midnight Edition package offered on the SR trim. This series of custom style options allows Seattle sedan fans to experience speedster beauty. The platform now rests on black-painted 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. The mirrors are capped in charcoal, while a wide spoiler frames the rear. Distinct badging frames the sculpted profile (192-inches long, 72-inches wide, 58-inches high); and the license plate holder is trimmed in metallic chrome.

To further anchor the Midnight Edition package is Nissanâ€™s signature V-Motion grille - which frames the Altima in a sweeping tri-bar style and black-clad metals. The effect is undeniably powerful.

2018 Nissan NV200 Focuses On Driver Comfort In Seattle
Tags:

(Posted on Mar 26, 2018 at 04:21PM by Lee Byard)

Discomfort defines the highway - with you confined to a straight-backed seat, the vinyl crackling and the cushion thin. Your commercial van delivers the necessary payloads, but it demands a compromise of convenience. Frustration mars every haul.

Nissan sympathizes - which is why it decided to enhance the driver experience in Seattle, bolstering its 2018 NV200 with more than mere strength. Prepare for a new kind of cargo van.

According to Nissan, the 2018 NV200 provides drivers with the comfort they deserve. Traditional vinyl materials have been replaced by soft gray cloth. Side bolsters anchor the seats to improve muscle alignment, while six-way manual adjusters offer custom angles. Integrated lumbar technology helps to reduce spinal pressure, lessening the effects of constant sitting; and height-adjustable headrests deliver optimum neck support. These cushions prove perfect for short or long haul ventures, allowing each rider to relax with greater ease.

The NV200 provides more than superior seating, however. Nissan has also fused this van with a spacious interior - delivering 41.7-inches of head room, 42.6-inches of leg room, and 54.1-inches of shoulder room. Passengers can stretch their weary muscles in between every cargo drop-off.

2018 Nissan Frontier SV Delivers Potent Performance In Seattle

(Posted on Mar 25, 2018 at 05:58PM by Lee Byard)

Mid-size styling once proved the bane of the pick-up market - forcing drivers to sacrifice performance for convenience, trading power for maneuverability. Less was never more.Â

Nissan has finally changed this - connecting Seattle drivers to its 2018 Frontier SV. This pick-up (despite proving more compact than its Ford and Toyota brethren) delivers exceptional capability, offering a V6 engine that will rev through every task with ease.

As Nissan explains, the 2018 SV is no ordinary mid-size platform. Itâ€™s instead a beast on the backroads. Beneath its hood rumbles a 4.0L DOHC 24-valve V6, which yields 261 HP and 281 lb.-ft of torque. An electronic drive-by-wire throttle anchors the chassis, ensuring seamless bursts of power; while a five-speed automatic transmission promotes deft gear responses by eliminating down-shift dragging. 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains are available, allowing consumers to define their payload needs (haul up to 1,430 pounds); and a Dana 44 rear axle creates a stable ride, locking as needed to balance the suspension on harsh terrains.

To further bolster the mid-size market, the 2018 Frontier also offers segment-leading performance - with its Class IV hitch receiver accommodating up to 6,710 pounds. Compromise no more, Seattle.

Curious about the 2018 Frontier SV? Visit our dealership today to learn more about this Nissan pick-up - and donâ€™t hesitate to schedule a test-drive in one of our current models.

Regret proves a common companion on the backroads - with every roll of your pick-up leaving you anxious. Its soft suspension wasnâ€™t intended for Washington adventures. Instead it was meant for the suburbs, delivering a mild everyday performance.

Nissan believes you need something more - which is why itâ€™s fused the 2018 Frontier with an all-terrain design.

According to JD Power, the new Frontier (available in S, SV, SL, and PRO-4X trims) adapts to every mile. A strut grille accommodates changing inclines, allowing for seamless approach angles; while stamped-steel fender flares protect the undercarriage from debris. Rear overhangs shield the side panels and all-season tires; the shortened front track (61.8-inches) promises easier maneuverability, negating the chance of a sudden bumper collision; and an available electronic rear differential promotes balance, engaging as needed to reduce friction and enhance suspension responses.

To further accommodate off-road adventures, the 2018 Frontier also features two class-leading cargo beds - measuring 5-ft. and 6.1-ft., respectively. These deliver up to 1,502 pounds of payload hauling, allowing drivers to take every ATV toy with them.

With the release of the 2018 Frontier Nissan provides drivers with the off-road performance they crave. To learn more about this pick-up contact our team today.

The weather is rarely forgiving - spitting snow, sleet, and fog in equal measure. You peer through a constant haze, trying to decipher the lane markers beyond; and even the simplest travels prove challenging.

Allow Nissan to provide some relief.

According to JD Power, the 2018 Maxima Platinum promises superior everyday adaptability - with its exterior boasting a suite of advanced climate technologies. No longer fear Seattleâ€™s fickle temperatures. Instead combat them all with:

Bolstered By 2018 LEAFâ€™s Success In Seattle, Nissan Announces Lofty EV Goal

Within every Nissan office hangs a banner - a collection of bright colors and brand stickers, with 1,000,000 stretched across in a big, bold font. This is no arbitrary number. Instead it serves as a future goal, reminding both sales representatives and engineers to come together for an EV push like no other.

Nissan intends to turn its LEAF trim into a global force - and we think it will succeed.

As Fortune explains, Nissan has recently unveiled a plan to transform the automotive world - sending its 2018 LEAF to China, Thailand, and other southeast Asia ports. This expansion of its electric line is to accommodate the rising interest in economy platforms, introducing consumers to class-leading performance (including a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery and a 110-kW AC synchronous motor, both of which deliver a single-charge drive-range of 151 miles). This platform will serve as a perfect showcase of smart mobility.

It will also help to usher in worldwide domination.

Spurred by the 2018 LEAFâ€™s recent success, Nissan intends to propel its EV line-up forward - by achieving 1,000,000 annual sales by 2020. Positive reactions to its latest 240-volt battery system has proven the viability of plug-in platforms; and it believes it can redefine the entire market. By emphasizing superior economy (112 MPGe) and dynamic power (147 HP), the brand can change public perception and develop an entirely new demographic base.

Expect to see the LEAF conquer every chart by 2020.
