2018 Nissan GT-R NISMO Emphasizes Safe Driving In Seattle

With turbocharged performance comes an expectation of danger. Supersized engines yield high speeds and low precision, with their open throttles sending drivers skidding through the miles. They prove too wild to control, and no tug on the ABS reigns will bring them to a stop.

With the release of the 2018 GT-R NISMO, Nissan seeks to change this. No longer will Seattle drivers be forced to sacrifice safety for speed. Instead this 3.8L beast will deliver sedan-worthy capability, fusing every mile with the greatest of care.


As a recent press release explains, the 2018 NISMO emphasizes safety. Vehicle Dynamic Control anchors its chassis - blending electronic traction distribution with a mechanical limited slip differential. This ensures a balanced ride, with every rev evenly rationed between the four wheels. Hill start assistance prevents roll-back, automatically engaging the power disc brakes while on an incline; and dual stabilizer bars improve cornering, delivering concentrated weight to negate the chance of sudden spins. A tire monitoring system warns of sudden pressure losses, and hood buckling creases reduce the impact of frontal collisions (they disperse energy and lessen overall vibrations).

To further improve the highway experience, the 2018 GT-R NISMO also boasts an advanced airbag suite - blending dual-stage supplemental front inflatables with seat-mounted side-impact curtains. This protects all passengers, with occupant-classification sensors ensuring immediate deployment in the wake of a crash.

Nissan pairs V6 performance with premium safety. To learn more about the 2018 NISMO contact our dealership today.

It’s a stretch of slow miles and dull landscapes - with inspiration long since vanished. You stare out the window, sluggishly blinking at the fading light; and a yawn echoes through the sedan. This commute steals the energy from you.

May we suggest taking it back? Inject your travels with some track-worthy style - courtesy of the 2018 GT-R!


Nissan has recently revealed its new GT-R - and this sport-coupe promises dynamic design with its Track Edition trim. Steal the highway spotlight with the glint of 20-inch forged-alloy wheels. The quicksilver body (which measures 185-inches long, 75-inches wide, and 54-inches high) offers aluminum paneling and ultra-low-tolerance jig joints; while die-cast strut towers and carbon-composite cross-members deliver a rally profile. LED headlights emphasize the sculpted fenders; flush-mounted door handles pair with power-folding side-view mirrors; and sleek wheel arches draw attention to the Dunlop performance tires, as well as effectively funnel wind to lessen drag.

To create a bold circuit style, the 2018 GT-R also features five unique colors - Pearl White, Blaze Metallic, Solid Red, Jet Black, and Super Silver. Each perfectly complements the aluminum trim, and the punches of black along the bumper add a striking contrast.

Rev up your daily commute with help from the 2018 GT-R. To learn more about this and other Nissan platforms contact us today.

The Sentra continues to be one of Nissan's top sellers and most recognized nameplates. It's a mainstay in the compact sedan segment spanning more than 35 years and seven generations. And, now, the 2018 Sentra is back, but with a number of enhancements designed to up its already strong consumer appeal, including a host of new safety technologies.
 
This includes Automatic Emergency Braking, which is now standard on all 2018 Sentra models equipped with Xtronic transmission. AEB uses radar technology to monitor a vehicle's proximity to traffic up ahead, providing audible and visual display warnings to help a driver reduce the car's speed if a potential frontal collision is detected. If the driver fails to respond, the AEB system can apply the brakes, helping to avoid the accident or reduce the speed of impact, if it is unavoidable. 
 
 
In addition to AEB, the Sentra also comes equipped with standard safety and security features, including the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS). This provides drivers and passengers alike with a host of airbags and rollover sensors for extra front, side and head protection in the event of a crash. The compact sedan is also engineered with Zone Body construction, which absorbs impact energy, thus protecting the vehicle's occupants. 
 
Enjoy excellent protection in a 2018 Sentra. To schedule your test drive, or compare pricing and specs, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington for more.

2018 nissan titan best price in seattle washingtonGreat news, Seattle trunk enthusiasts! For the first time ever, Nissan is offering a factory-authorized suspension lift kit for the Titan and Titan XD full-size pickups. 
 
The kits, developed by California-based ICON Vehicle Dynamics, offer a more aggressive exterior appearance, increased ground clearance and a suspension lift of up to three inches. It will be available for order this spring on Titan and Titan XD Crew Cab 4x4 models - just in time to hit the PNW's muddy trails.
 
According to Nissan, the automaker partnered with ICON since they are a well-respected name in the suspension lift-engineering industry, known for their quality and craftsmanship. The kit they developed is easy to install, maintains the Titan and Titan XD's payload and towing capabilities, plus it allows the trucks to be returned to stock, offering drivers greater flexibility come resale or end-of-lease trade-in.
 
To install the suspension lifts, no drilling or cutting is necessary; rather, they conveniently bolt-on. The kits include specially-tuned adjustable-height coil-over shock absorbers, custom rod end bearings and patent-pending Delta Joints. 
 
Ready to take your 2018 Titan to new heights? Contact us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, to pre-order your suspension kit today!

best price on 2018 nissan leaf seattle washingtonWe're just two months into 2018 and the all-new next-gen Nissan Leaf keeps raking in the hardware! 
 
Last week at the Chicago Auto Show, it was announced that the best-selling EV in the world is now a winner of Kelley Blue Book's Five-Year Cost to Own Award in the electric vehicle category. For cost-conscious, enviro-aware Seattle area drivers, this is excellent news!
 
According to KBB, the Five-Year Cost to Own Awards honors new vehicles and brands with the lowest projected ownership costs, based on data for new cars for the initial five-years of ownership. It takes into consideration depreciation, expected fuel costs, finance and insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs, and state fees for all new models within that time period.
 
Redesigned for 2018, the Leaf now offers a 40% greater range than the original, as well as a more appealing exterior styling. It also incorporates Nissan's Intelligent Mobility suite, featuring technologies such as ProPILOT Assist, e-Pedal, Automatic Emergency Braking and more.
 
"Nissan Intelligent Mobility is about applying the latest technology to set a new benchmark for exciting and safe driving and the all-new Nissan Leaf delivers on that in every way," said Brian Maragno, Head of Nissan's EV Marketing and Sales Team. "In addition to the exhilarating drive, EVs are inherently less expensive to operate than gas-powered cars and the 2018 Nissan Leaf provides more range, content and technology at a lower MSRP than the previous generation, offering customers more value at a lower price."

Discover Quiet Rides In Seattle, Thanks To The 2018 Nissan GT-R

Silence is the rarest of commodities - with every mile pummeling your ears with pavement rumbles and traffic groans. Ambient noise bounces its way through the cabin, creeping into every crack of a poorly designed sedan; and you spend the hours desperate for relief.

Allow Nissan to offer it.


According to a press release, the 2018 GT-R has been tailored for peace - connecting Seattle drivers to the quiet rides they crave. Active Noise Cancellation technology anchors this platform, helping to combat external distractions. An acoustic windshield reduces the impact of each wave, dispersing energy before it penetrates the cabin; while thick padding defines the dashboard and C-Pillar posts to lessen vibrations. Insulators have been placed below the rear fender to counter each engine rev; and an electronic control valve surrounds the muffler, dimming the volume of every full-throttle roar.

The true value of the GT-R, however, is its use of amplitude. Strategically-placed microphones are hidden throughout its cabin. When these sense the approach of low-frequency sounds (such as radio static or car horns), they automatically release counteractive waves - which utilize identical decibel ranges to undermine every note. This creates a white-noise effect and proves soothing to the ear.

No longer endure those incessant highway sounds. Allow the 2018 GT-R to instead provide silence.

2018 Nissan GT-R Offers Ample Connectivity In Seattle

Performance extends beyond speed. Though the cornerstone of the Nissan GT-R has forever been its twin-turbocharged 3.8L V6, its drivers expect more than mere power with each mile. The need for intuitive tech proves undeniable.

Nissan now answers that need with a suite of infotainment options.


According to a recent press release, the 2018 GT-R impresses on the highway - delivering ample entertainment features to drivers. An eight-inch color display anchors the NissanConnect console, providing multi-touch control and voice-activated interfacing. Wireless Bluetooth links offer access to hands-free text messaging and SiriusXM streaming audio; while TravelLink services promote custom content, allowing users to piece together apps that best reflect their needs (instantly engage with Fandango, Pandora, and Yelp on the high-definition screen). Apple CarPlay ensures seamless smartphone integration, while the HD radio pushes out heart-pounding bass notes.

Further bolstering the new GT-R is Amazon Alexa compatibility. Utilize natural-based voice commands to download content (this function links directly to Google, enabling drivers to access music, audio books, and other files synced to their personal accounts).

The 2018 GT-R promises more than V6 thrills. Instead it allows Seattle drivers to remain connected to their digital worlds.

The 2019 Nissan Altima Will Soon Debut In Seattle

A new breed of mid-size beast is coming to Seattle - with Nissan soon to reveal its 2019 Altima. This sedan will prove unstoppable on both the freeway and the charts, delivering class-leading performance with every rev.

The pony-cars and crossover behemoths are already trembling!


According to CNET, the 2019 Altima will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show (March 30th through April 8th). While Nissan has failed to provide a comprehensive list of specs before this event, rumors have already left critics tantalized - promising exceptional sedan power. Among the expected features are:

Engines

The 2019 Altima is rumored to boast both a 1.6L four-cylinder and a 3.5L V6. No performance ratios have been released, but early estimates gauge the HP to hover at a maximum of 270.

Technology

Nissan should fuse this sedan with its ProPilot suite - providing Seattle drivers with automated assistance and advanced support. This safety feature (which utilizes radar sensors to assess the road, instantly identifying obstacles and engaging either the steering or brakes to maintain proper lane alignment) will greatly reduce the risk of forward collisions. It will blend Pedestrian Detection technology with 360-degree camera monitoring.

Transmission

A seven-speed Xtronic transmission is anticipated for the new Altima, with its continuously variable design eliminating the frustrations experienced with a manual clutch (the gear ratio is gone and shifting is instead seamless).

Should these features prove true, they’ll propel the 2019 Altima past the competition - and bring drivers the performance they crave.

First impressions rarely prove true - but, with the release of the 2018 Armada, Nissan meets every expectation. This burly SUV is precisely as powerful as drivers assume; and beneath its hood rests a monstrous engine capable of rocking every Seattle street.

Are you ready?


According to a Nissan press release, the 2018 Armada will impress with every mile. This SUV boasts a 5.6L Endurance V8 engine: the same shared by its half-ton brother, the Titan. It delivers a robust 390 HP and 394 lb.-ft of torque, blending direct-injection performance with an 11.2:1 compression ratio. A multi-control valve regulates the block temperature to avoid overheating and ensure steady power, while adaptive rev matching technology optimizes the seven-speed transmission (it ensures that each gear ratio is seamless and reduces the strain of downshifting).

The 2018 Armada’s rugged V8 engine provides best-in-class capability - allowing it to achieve up to 8,500 pounds of conventional trailering and a payload capacity of 1,724 pounds. Hauling backroad toys has never been easier.

To learn more about the 2018 Armada contact our team today. We’ll gladly provide further specs, as well as schedule a test-drive in one of our current models.
