Itâ€™s been a busy 2017 Tokyo Motor Show for Nissan. The Japanese car manufacturer has unveiled the next-gen LEAF, a new fully autonomous driving system due for 2020 and, not to be overlooked, a fresh take on the modern delivery vehicle. The e-NV200 Fridge Concept van is set to change the way companies in the restaurant and hospitality sectors do business.

Nissan has endeavored to solve urban delivery challenges with the e-NV200. Their solution? A more compact van that maneuvers swiftly and easily through urban locales. Further, the zero-emissions vehicle has a self-powered refrigeration unit that makes chilled food storage a cinch.

The all-electric nature of the e-NV200 will mark a boon for commercial customers, as gas savings will reduce theÂ cost of ownership across the life of the automobile. The van will be stocked with a lithium-ion battery that produces 24 kWh to generate speed and acceleration, while there will be a separate 12 kWh pack solely to power the e-Fridge.

We encourage you to give us here at Kirkland Nissan of Seattle a call at any time if youâ€™re interested in learning more about commercial vans.

Nissan Preps Future of Seattle Autonomous Driving Tech in Tokyo

Only days ago, Nissan took to the roads of Tokyo in a public display of their design and engineering prowess. Piloting a prototype vehicle, the manufacturer showed off their most advanced autonomous driving system everâ€”and itâ€™s scheduled for real-world deployment in Seattle and elsewhere in 2020.

Nissanâ€™s next-generation ProPILOT technology builds upon the current system employed in the Nissan LEAF, X-Trail, Rogue, and Serena. The upcoming version, however, will go beyond simple single-lane autonomous driving. Instead, the new standard will enable such cruising on multi-lane urban streets and even highways.

Next-gen ProPILOT will ferry passengers automatically to their destination from start (when they enter the location in their navigation system) to finish, no matter the roads involved. It will manage this tremendous feat through the utilization of six laser scanners, nine millimeter-wave radars, 12 cameras and sonars each, and a high-definitionÂ mapÂ used to navigate through rapidly changing traffic patterns. Software optimizations will also allow for real-time adjustments to any obstacles in your path.

The future is arriving sooner than you think. Ring us at Kirkland Nissan today to discuss these exciting technological developments!

Itâ€™s almost here. The masterminds at Nissan have taken the wraps off the 2018 LEAF, and boy, does this all-electric vehicle have the makings of a true classic. From a thoughtfully reconsidered exterior to a massively upgraded engine, this car is ready to take the States by storm.

There are a number of substantive changes to the exterior that make a great automobile even better. The attractive, chrome Nissan â€œV-Motionâ€ front design makes the cut for this upcoming generationâ€™s LEAF. The grille itself is finished in a 3D-ish geometric blue pattern that is futuristic and eye-catching. And other changes are functional as opposed to purely aesthetic, with the new hoodâ€™s â€œribsâ€ and curves offering greater aerodynamics.

The improvements donâ€™t stop at the exterior, however. Motor Trend dove into the particulars of the new engine, calling it a â€œmarathon multiple-organ transplant.â€ Now, the electric power plant provides 147 horses and 236-lb.-ft. of torque. This is a big boost from the prior model yearâ€™s 107 and 187-lb.-ft., respectively!Â

We canâ€™t cover everything thatâ€™s changed with the 2018 Nissan LEAF in one postâ€”thereâ€™s so much more to discover. Give us a call at Sound Ford now!

2018 Nissan LEAF Technology Set to Wow Seattle

The newly-announced 2018 Nissan LEAF represents an overhaul of the already stellar all-electric vehicle. Fresh technology on the model, including the ProPILOT Assist feature, pushes this EV to bold heights and looks poised to change the way Seattle drives.

While there are many new technologies included in the 2018 Nissan LEAF, one at the forefront of incredible engineering is the aforementioned ProPILOT Assist functionality. Itâ€™s an autonomous driving mode that uses Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) to sense and respond to vehicles around the car. Specifically, once the driver sets a speed, the system will adjust that setting depending on how automobiles around it are moving.

ProPILOT Assist is more than just your typical intelligent cruise control, however. It also automatically handles vehicle steering, keeping the LEAF properly centered within the lane itâ€™s traveling through. With this kind of futuristic tech, itâ€™s no wonder that Asako Hoshino, head of Nissan Japan operations, says that the car has received more than 9,000 preorders in that country alone thus far.

If you want to be one of the first in the States to drive the 2018 Nissan LEAF, call us at Kirkland Nissan today!

(Posted on Nov 2, 2017 at 05:13PM by Billy Kirk)

Nissan is upping the ante with their concept for the LEAF NISMO, a supercharged version of the all-electric vehicle that aims to thrill driving enthusiasts everywhere.

Revealed at Tokyo Motor Show 2017, details are still a bit light, but weâ€™ve been able to glean some intriguing likely specs from the carâ€™s appearance and Nissanâ€™s official release. Tentatively slated for the 2019 model year with a delivery as early as fall 2018, this new LEAF will incorporate NISMO racing tech into its black, white and red body for greater aerodynamics and decreased lift. High-performance Continental summer tires will also be featured on the exterior.Â

The interior, which will boast aggressive red accents, brings its own technology aimed at making this a race-worthy EV. A new sport-tuned suspension distinguishes it from the regular 2018 LEAF, as does a specially-calibrated computer that aims to make instant acceleration at any speed a reality. Further, it seems likely that both a punchier motor and more advanced battery are in the works, the latter of which may provide approx. 60 kWh and a 225-mile range.

(Posted on Oct 31, 2017 at 11:04PM by Billy Kirk)

At the 45th Tokyo Motor Show only days ago, Nissan revealed their IMx all-electric autonomous crossover concept, based on technology scheduled for a 2020 arrival. Weâ€™ve spoken ofÂ the amazing nature of the machineâ€™s ability to effortlessly switch between the manual, human-driven mode and the ProPILOT self-driving function, but letâ€™s really dig into the power and performance details of this amazing future vehicle.

Two high-output electric enginesâ€”one at the front and one at the back of the automobileâ€”bestow the IMx concept with its incredible speed and overall performance. Together, the motors offer 700 Nm (newton meters) of torque and 320 kW of power, building upon what the manufacturer has learned with the LEAF. All this, of course, is delivered silently and efficiently, without the grunting and wheezing of conventional gasoline alternatives. Additionally, this crossover sports a battery thatâ€™s been redesigned specifically for higher energy density. Youâ€™ll receive approximately 370 miles of driving range as you journey around Renton, Bellevue, and Seattle!

Thereâ€™s more, though. The IMx is designed to mimic a high-performance vehicle. It boasts a low center of gravity for great responsiveness through curves and turns. Also, the platformâ€™s rigidity keeps the driver connected to the streets with a wonderful on-road feel.

If you want to discover more of what future cars like the IMx will offer, call Kirkland Nissan now!

Nissan IMx Concept Vehicle Poised to Be Seattleâ€™s Car of the Future

Nissan is poised to deliver the future of automobiles sooner than many may have anticipated. Revealed at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, the IMx all-electric autonomous crossover concept is at the forefront of the companyâ€™s Intelligent Power Initiative, due for introduction to the masses beginning in 2020.

The Nissan LEAF, of course, offers ProPILOT technology, but the IMx concept takes it further. It provides entirely autonomous drivingâ€”no human intervention or effort required! It works via a simple mode selection. When you want to kick back and relax, select PD Mode. This hides away the steering wheel and automatically reclines all seats as the computer takes over and guides passengers to their destination. Conversely, if you want to take matters into your own hands, you need only choose Manual Drive (MD Mode) to reverse the aforementioned changes and regain full control of the vehicle.

Nissan is touting just how simple this all is via its Human Machine Interface. Selecting either ProPILOT Drive or Manual Drive modes is as easy as making the switch via the PD Commander. This is conveniently arranged directly on the center console and can also be activated via voice control.

â€¨If you want to learn more details about the IMx or any of the manufacturerâ€™s upcoming concepts, donâ€™t hesitate to call Kirkland Nissan in Seattle now!

Seattle Racing Enthusiasts Gear up for Nissan's Entry into Formula E

(Posted on Oct 26, 2017 at 06:47PM by Billy Kirk)

In conjunction with the reveal of two new electric concept vehicles at Tokyo Motor Show 2017, Nissan has formally announced their intention to join Formula E for the 2018-2019 season. This pledge is exciting news for racing car and EV enthusiasts everywhereÂ and stands to give the manufacturer a global platform to show off their design prowess.

The two new zero-emission conceptsâ€”the LEAF Nismo and IMx crossoverâ€”represent Nissanâ€™s big all-electric plans and their push for intelligent mobility. The former car, specifically, represents the manufacturerâ€™s engineering sophistication as it announces its plans to enter Formula E racing. It will offer a sportier suspension, Continental summer tires, and recalibrated tuning that aims to improve the availability of the original machineâ€™s 147 horses and 236-lb.-ft. of torque. As a result, the vehicle will be more lively and responsive.

Nissan will become the first Japanese car maker to enter the racing championships. Competing in season 5 of Formula E in late 2018, the manufacturer (along with other participants) will for the first time be able to develop a substantial portion of the vehicleâ€™s electric powertrain components. While all contestants must still utilize the same chassis, it will be a fresh one that differs from that featured this December for season 4.

For more on the LEAF Nismo, additional concepts, and Formula E racing news, donâ€™t hesitate to give Nissan Kirkland a ring to chat!
