To achieve high economy drivers must often sacrifice comfort - compromising premium trims and supple seating for lightweight (efficient) plastics. With the release of the 2018 Rogue SL Hybrid, however, Nissan proves that value can indeed be multi-faceted.


As Green Car Reports explains, the new Rogue SL delivers superior comfort. Slide into its spacious cabin (185-inches long, 72-inches wide, 69-inches high) and discover leather-appointed seating. Eight-way power adjusters pair with two-way lumbar support; while integrated heating sensors combat the Washington cold, bolstering the cushions with multi-level climate control capabilities. Dual-zone air conditioning maintains a precise temperature; a microfilter strips away unwanted allergens; and the steering column boasts telescoping capabilities, ensuring that drivers achieve a perfect alignment.

To further delight, the 2018 Rogue Hybrid also features ambient lighting - filling the cabin with soft shades of blue, yellow, and green. This counters the glare from passing high-beams and promotes a refined atmosphere.

Don’t fret, though, Kirkland drivers: none of the SL’s technologies demand a loss of efficiency. This hybrid still yields 35 MPGs on the highway, promising class-leading capability with every mile.

Automation has come to Washington - with Nissan unveiling its 2018 Rogue Hybrid. This efficient option (which yields 33 MPGs in the city and 35 MPGs on the highway) will prove welcome on the backroads, delivering a suite of intuitive technologies to enhance every mile. Prepare, drivers, for the convenience of the Premium Package.

 
As Green Car Reports explains, the Premium Package offers automated support - fusing the 2018 Rogue Hybrid with a series of advanced tech features. Adaptive cruise control bolsters every mile, engaging both the brakes and the steering column to ensure safe acceleration (drivers can create pre-set speeds for different terrains, relying on integrated sensors to gauge both trajectory and lane positioning). Power memory functions anchor the leather seats, delivering custom alignments for each rider; while a panoramic moonroof boasts one-touch convenience. Seamless turn-by-turn navigation is also provided, with the NissanConnect infotainment console streaming real-time route planning strategies. Accommodate changing traffic patterns and unexpected weather with ease.

To further enhance each adventure, the 2018 Rogue Hybrid also features a heated steering wheel - which utilizes multi-level settings to counter Washington’s fickle mornings. This function can be activated with the press of a button and proves perfect for those craving comfort.

The Premium Package promises a rider-friendly philosophy - emphasizing quick responses and intuitive support. To learn more about this Rogue suite contact our team today.

After spending a full eight hours in an uncomfortable desk chair, the last thing your tired body wants to do is sit in Seattle rush-hour traffic. As you slid into your long-in-the-tooth SUV, you are welcomed by lumpy cushioning, torn upholstery and a stifling cabin. You groan when you remember that your route home has a grueling detour – your commute doubles right before your eyes.

rogue hybrid dealer in seattle washingtonGreat new, hybrid fans! After a successful launch last year, Nissan will be bringing back its popular Rogue Hybrid for 2018. And with it comes a bevy of enhancements, making the crossover even more fun, safer, and convenient to drive.
 
Similar to last year, the 2018 Rogue Hybrid will run on an advanced 2.0-liter engine and 30kW electric motor, which are connected to Nissan’s Xtronic transmission. Compared to the standard Rogue's 2.5-liter gas engine, the hybrid offers six more horses, netting an impressive 176 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is far superior as well, earning the hybrid 34 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive and 33 mpg combined in all-wheel drive models.
 
For 2018, the Rogue Hybrid offers a number of updates, including NissanConnect with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless mobile phone integrations. A standard Motion-Activated Liftgate has also been added to the SV trim, while the SL gets more safety features, including Intelligent Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Lane Intervention, and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.
 
Pricing for the all-new Rogue Hybrid starts at $27,020 for the SV front-wheel drive model and works its way up to $33,730 for the top-of-the-line SL all-wheel drive model. We expect to receive inventory of the crossover very soon! To pre-schedule your test drive, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington.
Performance defies a one-size-fits all philosophy - which is why Nissan bolstered its 2018 Titan XD with two distinct engine options. Each emphasizes specific power ratios to accommodate driver needs, ensuring a bespoke experience with every mile.

No longer compromise, Seattle.



As the JD Power team explains, the new Titan XD offers two engines - a traditional combustible powerpoint and a diesel alternative. Let’s examine them both:

Traditional

The 5.6L Endurance V8 delivers exceptional strength - generating 390 HP (5,800 RPM) and 394 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,000 RPM). It pairs a fluid seven-speed automatic transmission with a robust RWD; and this ensures class-leading towing capabilities (up to 11,600 pounds of conventional trailering and 2,910 payload pounds) while on the backroads.

Alternative

The 5.0L Diesel V8 combines enhanced turbocharges with a potent 32-valve design to increase air intake levels. This allows it to deliver 310 HP (at 3,200 RPM) and 555 lb.-ft of torque (at 1,600 RPM). Its low redlines ensure optimum traction, with the truck quickly activating its high-range gear ratios on even the toughest terrains. This promotes stable control when hauling up to 11,280 pounds of conventional trailering and 2,710 pounds of payloads. 

For drivers craving quick accelerations and best-in-class power the Endurance V8 will deliver superior results. The diesel option, however, offers value for long-haul commuters - embracing steady responses and smooth control.

The view proves obscure - half-hidden by a sloping C-Pillar, bursting with shadows and tight corners on its peripheral. You squint, trying to gauge the proper parking distance; but the too-loud scrape of your back bumper lets you know that you’ve failed. This will be a costly mistake.

Nissan wants to spare you another. This is why it’s paired the 2018 Titan XD with superior rearview support.



According to JD Power, the new Titan XD boasts the Around View monitor system. This four-camera collection enables drivers to accurately (and confidently) navigate even the tightest spaces. It provides a 360-degree real-time composite of the surrounding terrain, taking advantage of strategically mounted wide-angles lenses along the back bumper. Images are then streamed to the NissanConnect console to showcase the full span of the truck. Available Moving Object Detection technology warns of impending obstacles, while audio cues notify of improper lane alignments.

To further assist drivers, the 2018 Titan XD also features grid-line navigation - with the Around View monitor charting the most efficient reversal routes. Follow the pattern to ensure a fluid experience; and take advantage of the color-coded warning system (green designates clearance of up to 10 feet; while yellow represents three feet; and red signals 1.5 feet, respectively) to avoid any sudden collisions.

The Around View monitor proves perfect for those who seek to simplify parking. To learn more about this system contact our dealership today.
High speeds no longer demand a compromise of convenience. With the release of the 2018 GT-R Nissan ensures that drivers reap every reward - fusing this sport sedan with the Premium Package. This collection of top-tier amenities elevates the sport experience, ensuring that every 2.3-second 0 to 60 blitz can be thoroughly enjoyed.


As CNET explains, the 2018 GT-R now offers the Premium Package. This enhances the already impressive list of standard features - which includes leather seating, HD Radio, and dual-zone automatic temperature controls - with a driver-friendly suite:

The BOSE Sound System

The Premium Package transforms the six-speaker system into a surround-sound showcase - with 11 BOSE consoles mounted throughout the cabin, as well as two subwoofers. This creates a deep base-line (especially when paired with the speed-sensitive volume controls and active pitch enhancement software).

Noise Cancellation

This package ensures a refined ride, bolstering the cabin with both class-leading seals and advanced white noise amplifiers (which monitor ambient sounds and release counter waves to nullify them). This lessens the echo of passing traffic, engine vibrations, and more.

Exhaust System

A titanium-forged exhaust is provided with the Premium Package. This proves perfect for Seattle’s changeable weather, with its heavy-duty metal offering resistance to snow, sleet, and rain. The chance of (costly) corrosion is greatly lessened.

History always repeats itself - but the time proves far better than most. A 1972 Skyline GT-R has just appeared on the Seattle streets, and it’s leaving both critics and consumers speechless.


According to Road and Track, a Skyline (which was originally designed for the European market) has been spotted in Seattle. This car boasts a 2.0L L20 straight-six engine. Thanks to the original triple Mikuni carburetor design and the inclusion of an aftermarket limited slip-differential, this powerpoint promises 158 HP. A six-speed manual transmission yields impeccable handling, while the dual spoilers slice through drag with precision. Bolt-on fender flares further improve performance, helping to reduce overall friction when cornering.

This allows the Skyline to charge from 0 to 60 in 7.9 seconds - and it ensures a quarter-mile time of only 16.2 seconds. This speedy GT-R will prove equally at home in the city or on the track.

The 1972 Skyline embodied Nissan’s best design elements - and we’re thrilled to see this platform find its way from the showroom to the streets. To learn more about it (or to take a peek at our current GT-R models) contact our team today.

Craving a premium experience? The 2018 Rogue Sport will provide one - connecting Seattle drivers to the custom safety and comfort features they deserve. Slip behind the wheel of this Nissan crossover and take advantage of an exclusive OEM package.


As Truck Trend explains, the 2018 Rogue Sport offers drivers the advanced technologies they seek - and all of them are found in the Premium Package. Choose this add-on for just $1,190 and receive a bevy of intuitive features, including:

Interior

Plush carpeting is added to the cargo area, helping to more efficiently protect items against bed-liner scratches; while a power moonroof floods the cabin with natural light, allowing users to take advantage of those rare sunny days with the press of a button.

Exterior

Dual LED headlamps now anchor the front, ensuring superior visibility through their automatic high-beam assists and wide lens angles.

Safety

Integrated lane departure warnings monitor vehicle positioning, assessing both alignment and trajectory; while Intelligent Intervention technology automatically engages both the steering wheel and the brakes to ensure smooth speed control (this occurs when an obstacle is sensed and the driver takes too long to respond to the Rogue’s audio alerts).

The Premium package elevates the crossover experience - allowing all passengers to indulge in advanced tech. To learn more about this Rogue Sport option contact us today.
Competition dominates the hybrid market - with brands trying to earn consumer approval, battling each other with every mile. This is a niche vertical and each sale proves critical.

It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Nissan is celebrating its victory over Chevrolet.



AutoBlog reports that both the 2018 LEAF and the 2018 Bolt were recently pitted against one another in the ultimate safety showdown. The European New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) tested each platform in a series of front, side, and rear collision scenarios - observing both their structural integrities and the response times of their automated technologies. When the dust cleared, there was one definitive winner: Nissan.

The 2018 LEAF

Adult Safety Score: 93%
Child Safety Score: 86%

The 2018 Chevrolet Bolt

Adult Safety Score: 82%
Child Safety Score: 73%

NCAP praised the LEAF and its innovative technologies - including its comprehensive airbag suite. Dual-stage supplementals line the front, utilizing integrated seat-belt sensors to ensure quicksilver deployment; while side-impact options shield all passengers. Rollover scanners control the rear-outboard inflatables, dropping down a curtain to reduce the chance of whiplash. When combined with three-point ALR tethers and active head restraints, this system delivers premium security.
