Itâ€™s the most wonderful time of the year in the automotive industry â€“ the North American Car and Truck of the Year (NACTOY) Awards are gearing up! And this year, we couldn't be more excited as three Nissan models were named as semi-finalists.

The NACTOY Awards are an annual honor that are chosen by the organizationâ€™s jury, which is made up of North American automotive journalists. Winners are selected for three main categories, including cars, trucks and SUVs. Semi-finalists were announced earlier in September and the big winners will be revealed next January in Detroit, Michigan.

But, first, the jury has an important job to do â€“ they have to take to the streets of Ypsilanti, Michigan, to put the semi-finalists to the test. Of those vehicles are three Nissan models, including the Altima, Leaf and the all-new Kicks. From these series of road tests, the jury will select the finalists, which will be announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show at the end of November.

Itâ€™s a great honor for Nissan to have three vehicles recognized as semi-finalists in the NACTOY Awards. With the Leafâ€™s and Altimaâ€™s full redesigns, as well as the launch of the Kicks crossover earlier this year, there is so much more to love about these models, especially their styling, feature sets and performance.Â

Our team at Kirkland Nissan will be following the awards closely. Be sure to check back on our blog in November as the finalists will be announced or call our team to learn more about the Nissan Leaf, Altima and Kicks.

The statistics prove staggering - with the number of vehicular heatstroke deaths for children jumping from 5 in 1990 to 43 in 2017. Despite warnings from critics and consumer watch groups, these incidents continue to plague the country; and families suffer tremendous losses from an all too simple mistake.

Nissan wishes to ensure that no child is forgotten - which is why it intends to standardize its Rear Door Alert system by 2022.

According to Value Penguin, Nissan is bringing safety to the Tacoma market - by fusing its entire fleet with advanced notifications. Within the next four years the brand will counter all incidents of heatstroke-related injuries and fatalities, ensuring that parents can instantly identify whether their children are still inside the car before walking away. This system will:

One: Monitor the opening and closing of the rear doors via intuitive sensors.

Two: Recognize if the rear doors arenâ€™t re-opened upon arriving at a destination.

Three: Release a series of audio cues (including digital beeps and horn engagements) to warn drivers of their potential error.

Through this parents will be immediately reminded of precious cargo left in the back-seat - with Nissanâ€™s fleet (including the Sentra, Altima, and Armada) assessing all entry and exit patterns. Safety is assured.
