Itâ€™s a collection of numbers. Throughout January critics have jotted down every EPA estimation - comparing drive-ranges and mileage promises, trying to decipher the slightest power variations. The impending release of the 2018 LEAF left them anxious for answers. Would this all-electric hatchback deliver the necessary performance? Could Nissan surpass its competitors?

Both questions can be greeted with an enthusiastic Yes.

According to Jalopnik, the 2018 LEAFâ€™s drive-range has just been revealed - and itâ€™s a staggering 151-miles. While this number had been speculated for months, no official confirmation was availableâ€¦ until now. After rigorously testing the 40-kWH battery pack, the EPA assures critics that this Nissan platform will deliver best-in-class power; and it will easily surpass its closest rivals (the Ford Focus Electric, the Honda Clarity, and the Volkswagen e-Golf).

How does it achieve such an impressive performance? Nissan has fused the 2018 LEAF with both a 110-kW AC motor and a 192-cell lithium-ion system. When paired with a shortened gearbox (which improves responses times and eliminates down-shifting), the hatch can rev for more than 150 miles per single full charge. This will brand it a perfect option for Seattle commuters, accommodating their day-to-day needs with ease.

Innovation often proves impatient - with each year turning possibilities into realities, pushing the automotive market forever forward. Thereâ€™s no time to waste; thereâ€™s no need to hesitate. Instead this force propels every vehicle toward newer, greater heights.

Itâ€™s no surprise, therefore, that the 2018 Pathfinder delivers a fresh style - with Nissan seeking to (once again) change the crossover market. Fashion and function now perfectly combine.

According to The Car Guide, the 2018 Pathfinder will impress in Seattle. This platform boasts a newly tweaked fascia - introducing drivers to dynamic style from every angle. The unibody construction delivers a sleek profile (199-inches long, 77-inches wide, 70-inches high). Boomerang-shaped headlamps flank the V-Motion Grille, which offers hexagonal detailing and chrome accents; LED running lights provide a chic contrast to the metallic paint options; and the front bumper has been revised, now transitioning seamlessly into the fenders.

The 2018 Pathfinder is anchored by a 3.5L V6 engine. To ensure that this 284 HP beast is properly housed, Nissan has created a sophisticated hood - forsaking traditional clam-shell lines for a dynamic arched effect. This marks the platform as thoroughly modern.

2018 Nissan Rogue Impresses Seattle Drivers With Smooth Performance
Tags:

(Posted on Jan 27, 2018 at 12:47AM by Lee Byard)

Itâ€™s the clumsiest of rhythms. Along the highway you stall and stutter - your carâ€™s engine refusing to deliver steady power, leaving you instead rocking with every mile. A quick glance to the mirror reveals that youâ€™ve turned an alarming shade of white, and you feel your stomach roll in protest. This simply will not do.

Nissan agrees - which is why its 2018 Rogue delivers a seamless crossover experience. No longer shudder down the road. Instead indulge in smooth performance, settling both your nerves and your patience.

According to WYFI, the 2018 Rogue proves a deft option for the Seattle streets. Beneath its hood is a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, which yields an efficient 175 HP and 170 lb.-ft of torque (the platform purrs, rather than roars). The continuously variable transmission reduces gear strain, crisply shifting from one ratio to the next; while the four-wheel independent suspension adapts to changing terrains with ease, utilizing dual stabilizer bars to counter roll-overs. Speed-sensitive electric power steering further improves the ride, allowing drivers to maintain optimum control in all traffic conditions.

These technologies promise a fluid experience in Seattle - with the new Rogue weaving through all conditions. For those craving more than smooth power, however, this platform also boasts zero-gravity seating: which delivers optimal reclining angles and supple materials to cradle every passenger. Comfort is guaranteed with each mile.

Nissan Will Soon Bring Compact 2019 Frontier To Seattle

Itâ€™s an expectation of size - with the Nissan Frontier forever tailored to half-ton performance. This pick-up (with its hulking all-wheel-drive and elongated bed) embraces a bigger is better design, ensuring that Seattle consumers can achieve every towing goal.Â

With the release of the 2019 Frontier, however, Nissan seeks to redefine the driving experience.

According to Auto Evolution, the 2019 Frontier will straddle the line between power and efficiency - serving as a compact alternative to the half-ton market. Nissan will fuse this platform with a shortened wheelbase (exact dimensions are currently unknown but critics expect numbers that will rival the new Ranger, measuring approximately 211-inches) and a four-cylinder V6 engine. An aluminum-infused body-on-frame construction will ensure nimble handling, while the inclusion of a six-speed manual transmission will eliminate the extra heft of an automatic. When these elements combine, they will provide a lightweight design: which will allow drivers to more efficiently navigate the downtown streets.

The new Frontier, critics explain, is intended for everyday hauls - with its naturally-aspirated powertrain embracing agile responses. This will redefine the half-ton market and deliver a streamlined pick-up experience.

Are you ready for it?

A digital future awaits Seattle - with Nissan recently revealing its 2019 XMotion Concept to audiences at the Detroit Auto Show. This SUV forsakes the notion of less is more, instead delivering seven infotainment screens within its spacious cabin. Drivers and passengers alike will find themselves surrounded by high-definition pixels, mapping every mile with real-time software and dynamic colors.

Are you excited? We certainly are!

According to Futurism, the 2019 XMotion Concept is an anomaly at the Detroit Auto Show. While other crossovers - including its big-wheeled brother, the NV200Â -Â emphasize cargo capability and eight-passenger styling, this platform instead delivers infotainment. Seven screens flank its dash and door panels, greeting drivers with comprehensive content. Engage the engine with aid from the central consoleâ€™s fingerprint reader; receive a 360-degree perspective by adjusting the digital mirror (which replaces its traditional glass counterpart); and utilize the five remaining LCD displays to access social media streams, satellite links, and more. The entire cabin has been lined with code.

This, Futurism notes, creates a driving experience like no other - with the 2019 XMotion embracing a virtual philosophy. The stark red interior is brilliantly illuminated by every screen; and the use of natural-based voice technology enables consumers to more efficiently engage with their content. An integrated digital assistant further improves connectivity, highlighting vehicle information (including mileage and power ratios) and providing access to all uploaded files.Â

The 2019 XMotion is an SUV with no equal - and we canâ€™t wait to see it in Seattle. To learn more contact us today!

2018 has been a big year for Nissan. Just in the last month, accolades and awards have been rolling in for the automaker, highlighting excellence in all areas of their product line-up. The Nissan Xmotion concept car recently drove off with a 2018 EyesOn Award, while the Leaf EV took high honors in the electric car category of What Car? Car of the Year Awards. And now, Nissan is gearing up once again for another win; the Leaf was just named a finalist in the World Car of the Year Awards!

Representing the electric vehicle category, the Nissan Leaf is up against three other models: the BMW 530e iPerformance, Chevrolet Cruze Diesel, and Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. A panel of 82 automotive journalists will evaluate the vehicles and the field of finalists will be narrowed down even further at the Geneva Motor Show. The winner for the World Car of the Year Awards will be officially announced at the New York Auto Show on March 28, 2018.

At Kirkland Nissan, we are expecting our Leaf EV to come out on top, especially since the next-gen model brings new enhancements and innovations to the masses. This includes Nissan's all-new ProPilot Assist technology, which is the future of semi-autonomous driving. The 2018 model also boasts an increased range of up to 150 miles, which is considered a huge gain in the plug-in electric world.Â

And, the Leaf is no stranger to this award. The EV took home the win back in 2011 and we are confident that it can do it again.

Are you excited for the winners to be announced? We are too! Stay tuned; we hope to deliver news of the Leaf's victory later this spring!

Seattle Watches as Nissan's Xmotion Concept Car Wins the EyesOn Award at the 2018 NAIAS

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.

2018 Nissan Leaf Named "Best Electric Car" Prior to Seattle Release

2018 nissan leaf for sale in seattle washington

The all-new next-gen Nissan Leaf isn't available for purchase at our dealership in Seattle, Washington, but that hasn't stopped the world's most popular EV from raking in the hardware from across the pond. Most recently, the 2018 Leaf was named the "Best Electric Car" in the What Car? Car of the Year Awards, which is one of the UK's biggest car-buying media brands, widely regarded as a trusted source for new car advice.

Steve Huntingford, Editor of What Car?, praised the award-winning model for its year-round range and performance. "The electric car market has never been more competitive, yet the Leaf saw off all its rivals because it makes the most sense to most buyers," he said in a statement. "It combines excellent performance with generous standard equipment and low running costs. And even in winter weather, its real-world range is good."

This is thanks to a host of new innovations found on the 2018 Leaf, which allow the EV to drive farther, better and smarter than ever before. This includes available ProPilot Assist, which helps motorists navigate stop-and-go traffic by assisting control of acceleration, braking and steering during single-lane highway driving. The 2018 Leaf also delivers an increased range of up to 150 miles and incorporates standard Nissan Intelligent Mobility features, such as Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and e-Pedal technology.Â

When the all-new Leaf descends upon our dealership, it will signal the future of transportation in Seattle, Washington. To pre-book your test drive, contact us today or browse our online inventory to see many other great in-stock models.

Could Nissan Bring ProPilot Self-Parking Slippers to Seattle, Washington?

The folks over at Nissan have been up to a little fun. This week, they unveiled how their semi-autonomous ProPilot Assist technology isn't just for cars.Â

Set in a traditional Japanese inn known as a ryokan, the automaker previewed self-parking slippers, tables and floor cushions much to the surprise of the hotel's visitors. As you can see in the video below, when these items are not in use, they automatically return to their designated spots with the push of the button. This is similar to how Nissan's ProPilot Assist is capable of using the steering, brakes, and throttle to maneuver a vehicle into a space without the brain power or physical input of a driver.

This isn't the first time that Nissan has applied their technology to inanimate objects. Just last year, they innovated an autonomous chair to help alleviate the strain of waiting in line. When the person at the front of the line stands up to be served, the now-vacant chair moves to the back of the line, so another person can sit down and wait in the queue. Imagine having these chairs at the DMV? Talk about a game-changer!

From automated slippers and pillows to self-parking vehicles, ProPilot Assist strives to take the tedium out of daily life. To experience this technology for yourself, contact us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, to schedule a test drive in a 2018 Rogue or Leaf all-electric vehicle.
