Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
A new era of mid-size performance will soon begin - with Nissan unveiling its 2019 Altima. Boasting a robust viable-compression engine (the world’s first), this sedan will dominate the Bellevue highways with ease. Prepare for the ultimate commute experience.


According to Wards Auto, the 2019 Altima was designed to impress. Beneath its hood growls a 2.0L four-cylinder engine - which shares the same turbocharged design as the INFINITI QX50. This potent option yields 248 HP and 273 lb.-ft of torque, utilizing a premium multi-link connecting rod system to maximize every combustion. Piston stroke ratios smoothly rev from 88.9-mm to 90.1-mm, with a reduction gear creating a seamless ignition sequence; while the 8:1 compression rate promises exceptional power (it features a 1,190 CC to 1,1997 CC displacement that allows the car to stabilize the performance-band with each acceleration).

With the introduction of the variable-compression engine Nissan brings dynamic responses to Bellevue. As Wards Auto explains, this powerpoint heightens torque generation by 22 lb.-ft; and it allows the Altima to achieve a 0 to 60 run of less than seven seconds (shaving off more than 1.8 seconds of total time from the 2018 version). The new mid-size king has arrived!

The 2019 Nissan Altima promises to deliver some much-needed excitement to the mid-size sedan segment with its expressive styling, uplifting interior and two new powerplants, but it’s also one of the automaker’s latest vehicles to offer advanced Nissan Intelligent Mobility features. 
 
This includes the addition of ProPilot Assist, which will be standard on the 2019 Altima SV, SL and Platinum trims.
 
ProPilot Assist is currently available on the Nissan Leaf and Rogue and has won motorists over with its hands-on driver-assist capabilities that help keep vehicles centered in their lane, while also navigating stop-and-go traffic and maintaining a set speed and distance to cars up ahead. It’s the foundation for autonomous vehicles of the future and one that we are excited to have on the upcoming 2019 Altima, which is expected to hit the U.S. market later this fall.

You can learn more about the technology by watching this video:

 
 
Can’t wait until late 2018 to give the Altima's ProPilot Assist a whirl? Contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, to schedule a test drive in a new Leaf or Rogue. As mentioned, both are equipped with this driver-assist feature, allowing you to have a taste of the technology before the highly anticipated, next-gen Altima hits our dealership’s lot.

The quest for space often proves futile - with families crowding into tiny cabins, wedging themselves between tight door frames and hard seat-backs. The mid-size market is poorly named, with many of its sedans drawing inspiration from their smaller hatchback siblings; and trying to secure comfort seems an impossibility.

Allow the 2018 Altima to transform it into a reality.



According to Kelley Blue Book, the 2018 Altima delivers ample space to Seattle - with its cabin leaving all competitors (including the 2018 Camry) in the dust. Slide into the five-passenger interior and discover unprecedented volume, with 45-inches of legroom in the front and 36.1-inches in the rear. The elongated wheelbase (109.3-inches) ensures comfort for all, boasting a high roofline (57.8-inches) and a wide door-to-door span (72-inches). This delivers 109 cu.-ft for families to sprawl in, letting them indulge in leather-appointed seating and soft-touch dash materials.

Size truly does matter to Nissan. That’s why it ensured that the 2018 Altima would yield superior space - even when compared to the venerable Camry. Despite boasting a longer wheelbase (111.2-inches), this sedan only offers 42.1-inches of legroom in the front and a total cargo volume of 100 cu.-ft. It simply can’t compete.

There’s one thing that North American drivers seem to love and that’s the 2018 Altima. As Nissan's top-selling sedan, the class-leading Altima sets the bar high with its list of rich standard equipment and high-tech safety features.
 
It’s the ideal sedan for families in Seattle and J.D. Power agrees. Based on their 2018 Initial Quality Study (IQS), the Altima received an Initial Quality Power Circle Rating of 5 out of 5, as well as a quality award in the Large Midsize Car segment.
 
According to their review, the Altima proves itself to be the highest quality car in its class. Most notably is the addition of the new safety technologies, which include Nissan's advanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Intelligent Forward Collision Warning. 
 
 
Both features are standard on all trim levels (S, SR, SV and SL), but drivers can also enhance the sedan with additional protective features, such as available radar-based Blind Spot Warning, Intelligent Cruise Control, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. It’s like having a protective shield around the vehicle, keeping you and your precious cargo safe with every mile.
 
Drive away in a winner this summer! To learn more about the 2018 Altima and its high-quality construction and engineering, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington.
A simple rule defines the mid-size market - high-style is essential. There can be no streamlined sedans. Instead every fascia must be painstakingly sculpted, delivering a bold design from each angle.

With the release of the 2019 Altima Edition One Nissan fully embraces this philosophy.



According to Motor Trend, the 2019 Altima has been granted a full suite of cosmetic upgrades - with Nissan ensuring that the Edition One impresses with every glance. The platform now rests on 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, which have been stained a striking dark gray. Illuminated kick-plates anchor the front, drawing attention to the sleek profile (192-inches long, 72-inches wide, and 58-inches high); while a rear spoiler yields an athletic effect. External ground lighting fans out around the all-season tires and body-colored bumpers; and custom badges adorn the back and sides, complementing the chic metallic paint. A moonroof completes the design, adding glass paneling and one-touch ease.

The 2019 Edition One proves impossible to deny - with Nissan elevating it from sedan to statement. For those demanding power, however, don’t fear: this platform boasts a turbocharged variable compression four-cylinder engine, which promises 248 HP. Style and performance perfectly combine.

Enhance everyday performance in the 2018 Altima. This Nissan sedan brings convenience to Tacoma, boasting an exclusive 2.5 S package that will bolster each ride. No longer sacrifice ease on the highway. Instead indulge in the miles.


As CNET explains, the 2018 Altima delivers value to Washington. Slip behind the wheel and discover the 2.5 S package - a collection of comfort and safety features that will redefine the mid-size market. A push button system now anchors the cabin, allowing drivers to effortlessly enter (use the electronic fob to engage both the engine and the climate controls, sparing yourself the frustration of a wintertime key fumble). A 5.0-inch touchscreen enhances the NissanConnect infotainment console, providing easy interfacing through its hands-free technology and enlarged media dials; while wireless Bluetooth links ensure seamless syncing to social feeds and text messages.

To further impress, the 2.5 S package also yields superior safety, pairing the 2018 Altima with pre-collision technology. Intuitive sensors (mounted along the front bumper) sweep the roads with radar precision, generating real-time assessments of traffic patterns and lane markings. Should these scans reveal a potential concern - such as an approaching vehicle or a pedestrian - audio warnings will be released; and, if drivers fail to respond, the brakes will be engaged.

The 2.5 S package provides convenience to every rider. To learn more about this option - or to request further information about the new Altima - contact our team today.

It’s an obscure view. You peer around a bulky A-Pillar, trying to gauge the distance between your car and the curb. Your neck strains; your eyes squint; and… you still can’t determine just how many inches separate you from a sudden collision.

Allow the Nissan Altima to help.



According to My San Antonio, the 2019 Altima SV delivers intuitive support to drivers - with Nissan fusing it with an Automatic Rear Braking system. Radar sensors flank the back bumper, releasing GPS-refined signals to asses the surrounding terrain. Real-time mapping functions then create a 3D representation of the area, noting the location of both stationary and moving objects. Should any of these obstacles venture too close to the sedan, a three-tier process will begin:

One: Audio cues will be released, alerting drivers to the presence of a potential threat (such as an approaching car or a parking garage pillar).

Two: The ABS system will engage, with gentle pressure applied to the brakes to smoothly decelerate the Altima and avoid a collision.

Three: The seat-belts will subtly tighten, helping to steady passengers and reduce the effects of whiplash.

Automatic Rear Braking provides autonomous aid - allowing drivers to more efficiently respond to situations and negating the chance of a crash. Through its advanced radar technology, this system promotes safety with every reversal; and it launches the Altima SV to the front of the mid-size pack, branding it an ideal option for families.

The rule is simple - if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Critics and drivers seek always to preserve their beloved engines, reveling in every familiar rumble and transmission shift. Change, they feel, is dangerous. It puts each rev at risk, potentially stripping away torque and lessening horsepower. When perfection has been achieved cease all production strategies.

Nissan - respectfully - disagrees.



According to STL Today, the 2019 Altima will soon arrive in Washington… and it’s bringing a new engine with it. Nissan has fitted this sedan with a 2.5L inline-four. This powerpoint combines natural aspiration (which yields steady performance, sparing drivers the frustration of turbo-lag) with a lightweight aluminum design (the casing is now more efficient, demanding less fuel to reach the redline). Approximately 80% of the entire block has been revised; and this has ensured premium capability, with this sedan generating 188 HP and 180 lb.-ft of torque.

Still wary of change? Nissan reminds drivers that the 2019 Altima’s predecessor offered only 179 HP and 177 lb.-ft of torque. Even the redline has been improved, extending to 4000 RPM with every shift of the X-Tronic automatic transmission. This mid-size model (which now boasts monotube rear shocks to deliver balanced handling on each terrain) is ready to fly.

With the release of the 2018 Armada Platinum Nissan proves that the old adage is indeed true - bigger is better. This supersized SUV delivers a cavernous interior, effortlessly accommodating passengers and cargo alike. No longer endure the crowded sedan confines. Instead experience class-leading dimensions with every mile.


As The Monitor explains, the 2018 Platinum yields ample space. Its massive frame - which measures 209-inches long, 80-inches wide, and 76-inches high - accommodates up to eight passengers, utilizing a tri-row design to adapt to every demand. Leather seats can be quickly aligned to each rider’s specific needs, offering both split-folding and one-touch reclining technologies (customize the cabin with ease); while 171.1 cu.-ft of volume ensures segment-shattering comfort, greeting families with:

First Row Head Room: 40.9 inches.
First Row Leg Room: 41.9 inches.

Second Row Head Room: 40 inches.
Second Row Leg Room: 39 inches.

Third Row Head Room: 36.4 inches.
Third Row Leg Room: 28.3 inches.

To further impress, the 2018 Armada Platinum also delivers superior storage - with its 48.5-inch cargo box proving ideal for sporting equipment, camping gear, and more. Leave nothing behind, taking advantage of under-mounted bins and overhead consoles to quickly organize items.

A rough road waits before you - with all mile markers gone and no highway sign in the distance. It’s a stretch of forgotten pavement… and you hesitate to follow it, with your fingers clenching against the steering wheel. How can your small coupe possibly conquer this messy terrain?

It can’t - but the 2019 Altima can.



According to Chron, Nissan has created an all-terrain sedan - with its new Altima yielding a smooth ride on even the toughest miles. Monotube shock absorbers anchor the platform, reinforcing the suspension to ensure greater stability. Available 19-inch alloy wheels roll over the pavement with ease, while dual-pinion electric power steering provides controlled responses (all feedback is finely tuned, allowing drivers to more efficiently maneuver). The chassis has been lowered by 1.1-inches to deliver a stronger center of gravity, while integrated ProPilot technology promotes peerless lane navigation through:

Bumper-Mounted Radar Systems.
High-Definition Camera Lenses.
Intuitive Cabin Sensors.

Each of these technologies monitors both the highway and the driver, gauging lane alignment in real-time. Should they sense an unsafe trajectory, they automatically engage the steering column and braking functions to provide steadier speeds. This ensures superior control on unfamiliar roads.

With the release of the 2019 Altima Nissan promises effortless handling. For further information about this sedan contact our dealership today!
