After months of anticipation, the time has finally come for the launch of the all-new 2018 Murano. Just last week, Nissan announced pricing for this popular CUV, which is expected to hit our dealership very soon.

Hereâ€™s a quick overview of some of the vehicleâ€™s key highlights:

Under the hood

The 2018 Murano runs on its tried and true 3.5-liter V6 (the same engine found on the 2017 model), which outputs 260 horsepower and returns a respectable EPA rating: 21 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. Itâ€™s alsoÂ available inÂ front- and all-wheel drive.

More feature rich

Automatic emergency braking and intelligent forward collision warning are now standard on all trims. Blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert have also been added to the SV trim, while intelligent cruise control now comes standard on the SL.

Interior additions

In the cabin, a new center console makes storage and accessibility even easier. NissanConnect with navigation is controlled by an 8â€ color display with multi-touch control, while SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard on all trim levels.

Exterior add-ons

New for 2018, the Murano features a motion-activated power liftgate, which is standard on SL and Platinum trims. The Platinum also gained a standard dual panel moonroof, while the SL offers an available moonroof package.Â

Priced right

The 2018 Nissan Murano starts at $30,550 for the S FWD option and goes up to $43,580 for the top-of-the-line Platinum AWD.

To learn more about owning a 2018 Murano, contact Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, to pre-book a test drive. You can also browse our online inventory to see which 2017 models are currently in stock.

2017 Nissan Titan Popular with Millennial and Generation X Buyers in Seattle, Washington

As a relatively new player in the truck market, the Nissan Titan is unlike any other pickup in its class, garnering attention from an entirely new demographic that is younger than the industry average by three to four years. Itâ€™s become a hit with Millennial and Generation X buyers who choose the Titan half-ton and Titan XD for its versatile cab configurations, five grades of trim and loads of standard features â€“ all of which equate to a better, more powerful driving experience, no matter if itâ€™s for work or play.

With this shift towards a younger demographic, Nissan had to tweak their advertising strategy as well. They said farewell to traditional images of crushed rocks, stamped metal and beating chests, and opted for a much-needed dose of humor to attract Millennial and Generation X buyers in search of a new kind of truck. And it worked! Sales figures are up to 10 percentage points above the segment average for this cohort.Â

Hereâ€™s a look at Nissanâ€™s â€˜No Lazy Horsesâ€™ campaign:

Howâ€™s that for some levity in an often too serious segment? We think itâ€™s a great departure from conventional pickup ads.

If lazy horses are getting in the way of your work or fun, it might be time to test drive a new kind of truck. To learn more about the 2017 Titan or Titan XD, please call Kirkland Nissan today, or click here to check out our new and preowned truck inventory.

Meet Mrs. Roboto: Nissanâ€™s Robotic Car Door Tester

If you regularly travel with kids or other passengers, the doors on your vehicle get a real work-out. Sometimes they are shut gently, but oftentimes they are slammed or closed with fervor as you rush out of your car to make it to a meeting or get inside the grocery store before they close for the night.

The doors on your vehicle take a lot of abuse, opening and closing 45,000 times over the course of a decade. Thatâ€™s a lot of slamming!

And the engineers at Nissan? They understand this reality, which is why they enlisted help from an automated test device â€“ a 1.5-ton durability robot, whose sole job is to test car door reliability at the Nissan Technical Center North America (NTCNA) in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

The robot is named Rosie, but also goes by the nickname Mrs. Doorboto. In three days, she opens and closes a door as much as a typical customer does over the course of a decade, working around the clock with no breaks. And while Rosie works hard and for long hours, her robo-job is highly appreciated because it would be physically impossible (and mentally taxing) for a human tester to assess the durability of the door hinges, latch mechanisms, weatherstripping and window glass frames over a replicated ten-year period.

Itâ€™s certainly a tough job, but an important one, as it relates back to Nissanâ€™s promise of quality, durability, and innovation. And to that, we say, "Domo arigato, Mrs. Doorboto."

To learn more about how Nissan is leading the way with state-of-the-art technologies, like Rosie, contact our dealership today in Seattle, Washington.

2017 Nissan Rogue Reigns As Seattleâ€™s Top-Selling Vehicle

Itâ€™s a half-ton expectation - with every sales chart dominated by pick-up monsters. These growling V8 platforms crush the competition, leaving a trail of battered transmissions and broken engines in their wake. They seem unstoppable.

Theyâ€™re not.

Instead Nissan has managed to cut a wide path through the charts, delivering a burst of SUV power. The 2017 Rogue ranks as the countryâ€™s top-selling platform!

According to TNH Online, the 2017 Rogue is unstoppable. It reigns in Seattle and beyond, delivering a staggering 30,286 total units in October alone. This allowed it to surpass the competition, with both the Honda HR-V and the Ford F-150 stumbling for the month. More impressive is Nissanâ€™s year-to-year rise, with its crossover success bolstering its overall profits by 58%. No other brand can claim the same.

The Kirkland team isnâ€™t surprised by the Rogueâ€™s popularity. This platform - anchored by a 2.5L four-cylinder engine and promising up to 170 HP - proves ideal for Washington drivers. Its available AWD offers smooth traction on every terrain, while the 1,000-pound towing capacity accommodates every off-road toy. A responsive continuously variable transmission further delights, creating a fluid ride with every X-Tronic shift.

We anticipate that this crossover will continue to dominate the charts for many years to come.

Itâ€™s a simple mistake. You slide out of a car, juggling stacks of paper and smartphone social feeds. Time proves your perpetual enemy and itâ€™s waging a fierce war this morning, rendering you late for an appointment. You hastily cross the parking lot, debating whether you can risk waiting for the elevator or if you should just suffer on the stairs.

In your rush to the office, however, you forget that oh-so-important laptop that houses all of your presentation notes. It's sitting in the backseat of your SUV; and so you arrive to your meeting with seconds to spareâ€¦ and no materials to showcase.

With the release of the 2018 Pathfinder, Nissan hopes to save you from this frustration. Check out the new Rear-Door Alerts function.

According to the NY Daily News, this system should deliver convenience. Utilizing advanced interior sensors, it monitors rear door accessÂ - noting all openings and closings. By assessing activity, it can determine when items have been stowed in the back of the 2018 Pathfinder. Should drivers fail to retrieve these groceries, sporting goods, suitcases, and more, the car will automatically release a distinct triple honk of its horn. This (when paired with a flashing dashboard display) will ensure that all contents are retrieved.

Through its Rear-Door Alerts system, Nissan is enabling drivers to redefine their experiences - ensuring that no precious cargo is forgotten. The 2018 Pathfinder (which features a suite of intelligent mobility features, including the 360-degree Around View Monitor and Adaptive Cruise Control) will promote peace-of-mind with every mile.

The 2017 Nissan Altima Promises Safety In Seattle

Adventure waits - with the roads beyond Seattle promising horizons to discover and miles to conquer. With every day comes a new experienceâ€¦ and an equally new fear. You find yourself sitting in the garage, hesitant to turn an ignition key. These highways arenâ€™t safe, you think. Theyâ€™re populated with rogue drivers and uncertain weather patterns. Itâ€™s best to stay inside.

Nissan doesn't agree - which is why it fused its 2017 Altima with award-winning capabilities. This sedan will allow Seattle families to explore the city and beyond, offering them the safety they crave.

Recently the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (an independent organization that establishes benchmarks for collision prevention) pitted the Altima against its rigorous obstacle course - forcing it to endure brutal front, side, and rear crashes. It tested deceleration responses on slick tracks; it pushed avoidance technologies to the limit; and it demanded much from airbag and restraint systems. There was no mercy given to the platformâ€¦ or the unfortunate test-dummies seated within.

Much to the delight of Seattle drivers, however, the 2017 Altima proved road-ready. The IIHS awarded this sedan its highest honor, naming it a Top Safety Pick.

Weâ€™re not surprised. Nissan has anchored the Altima with a suite of collision features. Electronic stability and traction control minimizes the risk of under-steerage, providing smoother decelerations and cornering. Rollover sensors automatically engage the comprehensive airbag suite (which includes seat-mounted, curtain, and side-impact inflatables) as needed; while daytime running lights enhance visibility. This all pairs with anti-lock disc brakes to ensure superior performance.

The 2017 Altima is a worthy option for every Seattle adventure. To learn more about this platform contact us today.

Smart mobility proved the driving force of the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) - with critics offering generous acclaim to sustainable performance and plug-in capabilities. The future, they declared, is no longer reserved for traditional engines. Instead hybrid technology will define every mile.

It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Nissanâ€™s latest Leaf secured the showâ€™s highest honor.

According to Hybrid Cars, the 2018 Leaf was recently given an impressive trophy for its case - earning CES recognition as the Best of Innovation for Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology. This achievement (which serves as Nissanâ€™s first international award) was given with great enthusiasm, with critics celebrating several key EV features:

Drive-Range: anchored by a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery, the new Leaf boasts a 150-mile all-electric capability. This allows consumers to effortlessly navigate the demands of every day, sparing them constant visits to the charging station.

Fast Connections: utilizing an advanced 240-volt port system, this Nissan sedan can achieve a charge of 88 miles in less than thirty minutes.

The e-Pedal: this exclusive function allows drivers to seamlessly enhance or decrease their speed, requiring only a single foot pedal to control performance.Â

These features ensure powerful responses, optimizing the 2018 Leaf for work, play, and every moment between.

Seattle Drivers Will Love the 2018 Nissan Armadaâ€™s New Intelligent Rearview Mirror

Have you ever been in a situation where the cargo area of your vehicle was so full that you couldnâ€™t see out your rearview mirror or back window? Itâ€™s nerve-wracking â€“ especially if you need to reverse out of a parking space or keep tabs on vehicles behind you while driving.

That problem is now a thing of the past with the 2018 Armada. Itâ€™s the first Nissan vehicle to offer the all-new Intelligent Rearview Mirror (I-RVM), which acts as a second set of eyes when your line of sight is obstructed.Â

According to Nissan, the I-RVM looks the same as a traditional rearview mirror, but with a built-in LCD monitor that is activated with the push of a button. When the intelligent mirror is turned on, the monitor provides an expanded field of view from the high-performance, narrow-angle camera, which is located at the rear of the vehicle. Even in low-light conditions, the I-RVM helps drivers feel more confident while maneuvering in busy parking lots or in traffic. Best of all, the mirror can be activated while driving.

See how it works in this video:

Neat, right? This technology is especially ideal for Seattle area drivers who regularly carry oversized cargo or transport taller passengers.Â

Want to learn more about Nissanâ€™s I-RVM technology? If so, contact our dealership today to pre-book your test drive in a 2018 Armada, which is expected to arrive very soon. You can also browse our new vehicle online inventory to see other great in-stock models.Â

If you are a parent of a young driver, you know just how important it is for your child to have a reliable and safe set of wheels. After all, students lead very busy lives â€“ from school and work to social and extracurricular activities, they need a vehicle that can keep up with them (and one that you can feel good about them driving).

That car is the 2017 Nissan Versa Note.

For the fifth consecutive year in a row, it was named one of the top 10 best back-to-school vehicles of 2017 by the automotive experts at Kelley Blue Book. They chose this subcompact hatchback for its surprising combination of roominess, versatility, appealing options, and the lowest price of any other option on the top 10 list.

And with a starting MSRP of $15,480, the 2017 Versa Note is extremely affordable for a decently equipped model. The base S Plus comes standard with air conditioning, power mirrors, a four-speaker AM/FM/CD/Aux audio system, tilt wheel, trip computer, Bluetooth, front disc/rear drum brakes, and 15â€ steel wheels with covers. It is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), which outputs 109 horsepower, 107 lb-ft of torque, and an EPA rating of 31 MPG in the city and 39 MPG on the highway.

If your son or daughter fancies a few more options, the next-step SV offers power windows and door locks, a USB input for the audio system, keyless entry, cruise control, and a rearview camera. Or there is the SR, which comes standard with aluminum-alloy wheels and a sportier appearance with fog lights. Capping off the trim levels is the top-of-the-line SL, which is equipped with push-button ignition, a touch-screen audio system with navigation, and an around-view monitoring system. Even if your young driver opts for the SL trim, you can still expect to pay under $20K, which is quite impressive.
