Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington


While many of us look to Nissan for our automotive needs—roomy crossovers such as the Pathfinder and all-electric wonders such as the LEAF—occasionally, the Japanese automaker can touch lives in far more integral ways. This can be evidenced most recently in their work in South Africa, as the company helped deliver a new water system to a secondary school.

The backstory: Several months ago, Nissan received a special request from the Bahlaloga Secondary School in Lonsdale, Limpopo, South Africa. They needed a new water tank—a truly functional setup. The Japanese manufacturer wasted little time in conducting an analysis and snapping into action, replacing the old borehole system and introducing the fresh alternative to the community.





The new water system was recently unveiled to the gathered local leaders, teachers, and students at Bahlologa. While previously only one tap at the school was working, there are now four working at full capacity. This marks a monumental improvement, as hundreds rely on the setup for their needs each day.

If you’re interested in hearing more about the automaker’s involvement in the community—or regarding their commitment to the environment with the LEAF—don’t hesitate to call us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle!
 
Do you frequently leave the lights on or forget to lock your car? Soon these troubles will be a distant memory with Amazon Alexa. Nissan recently announced that this smart-home technology will be available on the 2018 Pathfinder, as well as the Armada and Leaf.
 
Amazon Alexa is truly revolutionizing the automotive industry by giving drivers control over certain connected-car functions with the sound of their voice. With this technology, Nissan owners can lock and unlock doors, honk the horn, flash the lights and start or stop the engine. All they have to say is, "Alexa, ask NissanConnect Services to...", followed by the command – and voila!
 
Here’s how it works:
 
 
Brilliant!

Alexa is already available on many 2016-2017 model year 
Nissans, including the Altima, GT-R, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, Sentra and Titan. But, this extension to the 2018 Pathfinder, Armada and Leaf vehicles is certainly a welcomed addition, especially for drivers in the Pacific Northwest who rely on remote start during the winter.
