Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
The New Year is upon us and so is the highly-anticipated Tokyo Auto Salon, which is taking place on January 12-14, 2018, at the Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex in Japan.
 
Nissan will be in attendance where they will reveal a new variant of the popular Leaf all-electric vehicle, called the Grand Touring Concept.
 
 
Industry insiders report that the EV will feature two-tone black-and-silver paintwork and an aggressive body kit, but other details have yet to be disclosed. Some speculators think that the Grand Touring Concept will be equipped with the latest aftermarket parts offered through Autech Japan, a Nissan sub-brand with a focus on vehicle tuning, but full mechanical and performance specs have yet to be revealed.
 
With all of the rumors floating around, anticipation is certainly building. EV fanatics across the globe are excited to get a glimpse at the Leaf’s Grand Touring Concept, including our staff at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington.
 
As news from Japan makes its way across the Pacific, we’ll be sure to report back with images and video of Nissan’s latest concept vehicle. In the meantime, we encourage you to stop by our dealership to test drive a new or preowned Leaf EV.

It’s a sudden network failure - with a car’s hot-spots fizzling and a smartphone screen going dim. You scowl, wondering how you’re meant to endure this trek toward the horizon without your digital companions. The real world, after all, holds little appeal. You crave the excitement of a social media stream.

Kirkland Nissan understands - which is why we’re thrilled to unveil the 2018 LEAF to every digital-savvy driver.



Come to our lot on January 1st and discover the latest in EV tech. The 2018 LEAF (which is making its official dealership debut in our showroom) boasts an advanced infotainment suite - offering drivers the virtuality they crave. Wireless Bluetooth links fill the cabin, ensuring effortless media streaming. The center-stacked 7-inch Connect touchscreen provides crisp visuals, while newly integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technologies maximize every social feed (effortlessly scan your favorite sites, engage with search engines, and download content). Interfacing proves easy, with the platform offering both touch-to-swipe and steering wheel-mounted controls.

To further delight tech-fans, the 2018 LEAF boasts a Bose audio system. This ensures cabin-shaking bass-lines, with the strategically placed seven speakers yielding hi-fi sound. This EV won’t disappoint.

Want to see it in action? Visit our dealership on January 1st to receive an up-close glimpse of the LEAF’s many infotainment options.

The expectations prove low - with Seattle drivers often dismissing the hybrid market, certain that lithium batteries and electric motors prove too meek to impress. These cars, they argue, simply can’t accommodate their performance needs. They fail in the wake of their gas-powered brethren.

Allow the 2018 LEAF to shatter this perception.



Join us on January 1st as we unveil the new Nissan LEAF. This EV defies convention - delivering robust performance with every mile. Boasting a 192-cell battery pack, this platform races to 147 HP and 236 lb.-ft of torque. Its lean body (which measures 176.4-inches long and 70.5-inches wide) weaves nimbly through traffic, with the floating roofline and aerodynamic fenders helping to reduce drag; while the rear diffuser promotes a balanced ride.

This is no ordinary hatchback. Instead it introduces drivers to unparalleled power - with its 110-kWh electric motor proving perfect for every downtown demand. Compromise is no longer a cornerstone of the EV market.

Kirkland Nissan is proud to redefine how our customers view zero-emission platforms… and our unveiling of the 2018 LEAF will certainly offer a new understanding of urban performance.

To learn more about our upcoming reveal contact us today! We’ll happily provide a full schedule of planned activities, door prizes, and more.

Attention, Seattle! If you desire a big, bruising pick-up that can keep you and your family safe, you need not look elsewhere. The 2018 Nissan Titan offers a range of smart features and has superlative scores from the NHTSA.

Front driver/passenger head and side airbags are standard, as you would expect from a vehicle of this caliber. However, the 2018 Titan takes things further. It also includes electronic stability control, which works to decrease the chance of tire slippage by automatically and selectively braking each wheel in accordance with specific road conditions. Additionally, four-door truck models feature rear-curtain inflatables, providing for the security of those seated in the back. And integrated turn signals in the side mirrors keep other motorists aware of your movements.



The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends the new Titan. It awarded the pick-up five stars in Front Passenger Side, Side Barrier, Combined Side Barrier and Pole, Overall Side Pole, and Overall Side tests. The truck also grabbed a rating of four in all other categories, including Rollover. In sum, it arrives with heavy commendations.

Seattle Anticipates Nissan’s Showcase of New LEAF and GT-R NISMO Cars

Nissan announced today that they’re set to display 15 car models at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2018, running from Jan. 12 - 14. The event centers around the company’s dedication to the vast world of customization, as each vehicle will feature unannounced after-market parts. Due to their availability, of specific interest to Seattle and North American drivers will be the LEAF and GT-R NISMO variants.

The new Nissan LEAF concept was first unveiled at Tokyo Motor Show 2017, and powertrain details continue to be light. However, the 2019 model year car seems aimed at a fall 2018 North American release. It looks to adopt a black, white and red body that is imbued with NISMO technology for better aerodynamics. High-performance Continental summer tires will make an appearance, and the base battery is likely to ring in at roughly 60 kWh, good for more than 225 miles of range. Technologies from the 2018 MY will carry over, including the ability for drivers to accelerate, slow, and stop all via a single pedal (no brake usage necessary).



The new GT-R NISMO is all about wicked performance. It will bring with it the popular “V-Motion” front grille, a fresh hood cut for aerodynamics, redesigned side sills for increased airflow, and black RAYS forged-alloy wheels. Even more exciting is the motor. The supercar will feature a 3.8L, 600 HP engine easily capable of 481-lb.-ft. of torque.

Ring us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle now to hear more about either of these spectacular models!
The 2018 Nissan Maxima is no average car. The Japanese automaker has absolutely stuffed this sedan with refinements and comprehensive conveniences. It’s a pretty unbelievable mid-size cabin that needs to be experienced.



With the Maxima, you have your choice of either an Ascot/Alcantara simulated suede/leather combination or a full-on treatment of the latter material. Once situated, you’ll quickly notice the express open/close sliding and tilting glass sunroof above. It’ll let in abundant light and a soothing breeze on warm days. And for those times when the weather doesn’t cooperate, the windshield wipers are rain-sensing. They’ll automatically adjust their speed in accordance with the heaviness of the precipitation.



But that’s not all. Maxima provides Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility for your smartphone. The forward-thinking NissanConnect services offer roadside assistance and emergency dialing at a moment’s notice. Additionally, the entire infotainment system can be wielded via the center console’s Display Commander wheel.

Ride through Seattle with a profound peace of mind thanks to the 2018 Nissan Maxima. The sedan will keep you and your passengers immensely secure as a function of the many features and technologies it employs. And trust us, the results bear themselves out in crashworthiness testing.



Nissan designed the 2018 Maxima with a thoughtful application of everything they’ve learned in their more than 80 years of operation. Child safety locks are standard, keeping the little ones securely in place in the rear while traveling. Daytime running lights pop on automatically, illuminating the streets and alerting other motorists to your presence. Electronic stability control plays its part, actively sensing second-to-second the current road conditions and compensating by selectively braking to mitigate slippage. This is all complemented by a bevy of airbags, including front, rear, and side-curtain inflatables.



As you may imagine, these features have led to superlative crashworthiness results at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Nissan’s sedan grabbed the highest score of “Good” in every tested category, including Small Overlap Front, Moderate Overlap Front, Passenger- and Driver-side, Side, Head Restraints & Seats, and Roof Strength.

Hit us up at Kirkland Nissan today to discuss the 2018 Maxima!
It’s a search for economy. Every day you watch the fuel gauge fall - with your car’s engine consuming resources, greedily demanding more with each mile. A sedan offers no concern for your schedule nor does it care for your fragile finances. Instead it drinks every drop with a self-satisfied purr, leaving you to scrounge for a way to reach the station pumps in time. You feel your wallet weep in response.

Nissan believes you deserve something better in 2018 - which is why it’s releasing its new LEAF to the Seattle market.



On January 1st we’ll reveal the 2018 LEAF to our customers - introducing them to best-in-class capability. This all-electric platform requires no gasoline, instead delivering a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery. The 192-cell powerpoint ensures superior economy, enabling drivers to achieve a 150-mile range on a full charge. No longer will you scramble to find a pump. Instead you’ll simply need to utilize the advanced DC 60-kWh port to receive deft handling (expect HP ratios to reach up to 107). Waste neither time nor dollars for your day-to-day needs.

Intrigued? We don’t blame you. The 2018 LEAF promises exceptional performance… but its limited availability requires immediate action. Nissan has only allocated a few of these platforms for the Seattle market (more will arrive in the approaching months but, for those craving efficiency, the time to act is now). Come to our unveiling on January 1st to place a deposit on this platform. This will ensure a February delivery and a truly happy new year.

To learn more about the 2018 LEAF - or our available models - contact us today.

With every New Year’s celebration follows the inevitable silence - with all fireworks fizzled and every campaign cork popped. The morning slowly breaks across Seattle. The shops are closed; the streets are empty; and families spend the day lounging in the dull stillness. There’s nothing for them to do in this post-holiday calm.

Kirkland Nissan will soon change that.

On January 1st we’ll fling open our showroom doors and welcome Seattle families to our lot. Unlike other dealerships - with their teams all still sleeping - we’ll be wide-eyed and eager to deliver an unforgettable experience. Get ready for the unveiling of the 2018 LEAF!



Searching for a family-friendly activity on New Year’s Day? Come to our dealership. We’re planning an extravaganza like no other - with the 2018 LEAF making its official U.S. debut on our lot. On January 1st we’ll provide our customers with an exclusive sneak-peek at Nissan’s latest EV; and we’ll pair this experience with delicious snacks and one-of-a-kind door prizes. From 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. we’ll connect drivers to the fun they crave.

Will you be there?

No longer endure a dull New Year’s Day. Instead allow us to provide you with automotive excitement. Come to the Kirkland Nissan lot and participate in the LEAF’s reveal!
