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.

Recently, Nissan unveiled its Xmotion concept car at the 2018 North American International Auto Show, receiving rave reviews from industry insiders and automotive enthusiasts alike. But, that's not all the Xmotion received - it was also awarded the EyesOn Award, which recognizes innovative use of colors, graphics and materials.

The Xmotion concept fuses Japanese culture and traditional craftsmanship with American-style utility and next-generation Intelligent Mobility technology. The exterior features a dynamic presence with an understated sculptural body, which includes flared fenders, U-shaped headlights, and a bold evolution of Nissan's signature V-motion grille. All of this is contrasted by the rugged metal-crafted wheels and all-terrain tire design.Â

Two colors were selected for use on the exterior - most notably is the silver pewter-like color, which is a metal traditionally found in Japanese fine art. This color flows beautifully with the dark black accents and red headlights, and showcases the various body shapes and contours found on the car.

Inside, the Xmotion's crafted interior design also pays homage to Nissan's roots with a Japanese landscape that incorporates advanced graphic user interfaces and autonomous driving technologies. The use of color was carefully considered in an effort to bring together tradition and modernity. Automotive enthusiasts are still talking about the virtual koi fish, which swims between the console and middle-mounted armrest touchscreen.

And while the Xmotion is not set to hit the production line anytime soon - or at all - it continues to highlight how Nissan is always on the cutting-edge of technology by bringing leading innovations to the masses.
