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.

According to a recent online article on CleanTechnica.com, Nissan has released unofficial details about the upcoming 2019 Leaf.

While speaking at a press event regarding the brandâ€™s involvement in Formula E racing, Brian Maragno, Nissanâ€™s Director of EV Marketing and Sales, was quoted as saying that the forthcoming 2019 Leaf will feature a larger battery and a more robust 200 horsepower motor.Â

He added, â€œWhen you have a bigger battery with more capacity, it just opens up the door to be able to have more output. A larger capacity battery lends itself towards two things. One is obvious: more range. The other one, which is maybe a little less obvious, but equally as true, is additional horsepower and output.â€

An official range for the 2019 Leaf has not been released, but some EV speculators have commented that it should drive for at least 200 miles on a single charge â€“ if not more.Â

Nissan is also being coy about an official release date; however, our team at Kirkland Nissan expects that a launch date will be shared as early as this fall or as late as next spring.

Until then, why not visit our dealership in Seattle, Washington, for a test drive in a 2018 Nissan Leaf? With its current 40-kWh battery, 142-horsepower motor and an 150 mile range, it might be all that you need in an all-electric vehicle.
