Nissan in 2016 will continue in its winning ways and participate in various championships and categories. The car maker has already scalped nine global championships in 2015. It will also augment its customer support. The company’s flag continue to wave in Japan, Australia, North America, and Europe.

Nissan or NISMO has conquered the SUPER GT GT5000 Championship for two successive years. It now intends to make it a third time victory, making it a hattrick. The GT500 Class race will see four Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500 competing in GT500 class. Katsumasa Chiyo is expected to make a GT500 debut. He has already completed a two year long stint in Bathurst races and Blancpain Endurance series. The Bathurst races are 12 hours long.

The new executive director is Toshikazu Tanaka, who was previously NISMO’s Corporate Vice President. He will take over the GT500 team from Kunihiko Kakimoto. The latter has made a large contribution to the GT500 titles. The company has won a total of 12 titles.

The regulations imposed on the series forbid suspension and aero parts development in 2016. The car thus will continue to have identical specification as of 2015. Engine performance, along with the tire will also be increased. Even though the specification of the engine remains same, there were massive improvements to the intake or exhaust system. Both of them will have higher reliability and efficiency.

The Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 won GT300class championship of Pro and SUPER GT class championship of the 2015 Blancpain Endurance series. Want to test drive a Nissan? Drive down to Cardinale Nissan.’

Xtronic Transmission in the Nissan Pathfinder

The Xtronic CVT in Nissan Pathfinder does not employ standard gear ratios. There are two steel pulleys that are hydraulically operated in its place. The pulleys are linked by metal chain link. When you press the accelerator, the sides of v-shaped pulleys may pull apart or push together to vary the chain position on pulleys.

Since the movement of the belt is seamless between gear ratios, this Xtronic transmission does not shift in the standard sense. It means you do not suffer the shift shock, which comes across a jolt during the power loss while shifting in automatic transmission, is not there anymore. The quality of driving is much improved due to this.

Since there is no need for gears, the Xtronic CVT can do two things for improving the fuel economy. The first one involves the transmission- which permits the Pathfinder’s engine to operate at peak efficiency at all times. The second involves the advantage of gear elimination. Since there are no gears, no friction exists during the shifting.

Efficiency increases due to less friction so the fuel consumption is also less. Friction equals heat and when there is excessive friction, it may cause fatal damage to the car’s moving parts. Since this CVT technology utilizes fewer moving parts, there is also less friction. The durability of the transmission is also increased. The Xtronic transmission thus has a longer life cycle compared to the standard transmission.

The Pathfinder offers Bird’s Eye View with Around View Monitor

The Around View Monitor is a Nissan proprietary technology. It employs four cameras to generate a composite image of the 2016 edition of the Pathfinder and then displays it on touch screen monitor. It assists to visually confirm the position of the vehicle relative to lines around the parking spaces. It also takes into account the adjacent objects displayed on the monitor. The technology permits the driver to effortlessly maneuver into tight parking spots.

The Around View Monitor immensely helps the Pathfinder driver to extricate the car from tight spaces without a blemish on the exteriors of the vehicle. This is made possible the company’s ingenuity in placing the four cameras. The standard backup camera is placed above rear license plate. The second camera is placed in the front grille and the rest two cameras are ultra wide angle ones located in side mirrors, and face down.

The software stitches the four images and wraps the illustration of the Pathfinder like it is shot overhead. The end view is that you feel that you are hovering a few feet above the car. The side images are functional. When you pass the car parked beside you, its wheels are displayed. In case the car is parked three feet or more away, the view may not include the other vehicle. However, the visual images of the parking lanes will help you to steer your best.

To know more, and to get a trial drive of the Nissan Pathfinder, come to Cardinale Nissan at Seaside, California.

The Pathfinder from the Nissan stable is already legendary. It has a proven tough, rugged and capable built and delivers impressive mileage as well. The fuel efficiency is maximized with lightweight components making up the drivetrain and frame. Even the climate control systems are constructed with lightweight parts.

The Pathfinder’s latest avatar offers you the unmatched luxury of 2WD and 4WD. There is also the Auto Mode. To toggle between the modes, you simply have to turn the All Mode 4x4i Dial, positioned just behind gearshift. You can lock to 4WD on treacherous terrain and in rapidly changing weather. Turn it back to switch to 2WD for an enhanced mileage. Nissan’s intuitive Auto Mode automatically senses rough terrain or slippery roads and then adjusts the power to the wheels by its own. When you reach a concrete road, it goes back to 2WD by itself.

The Nissan Pathfinder is fitted with an exclusive advanced Xtronic CVT or Continuously Varying Transmission. This technology eliminates the need of gears by utilizing a metal drive chain which in itself is a precisely machined piece of art. Power is transferred from engine to wheels in a more effective manner and smoothly too. The CVT quenches your every demand by shifting smoothly to offer you perfect speed, and improves the fuel economy at the same time. For a trial drive of this beauty, come to Cardinale Nissan at Seaside. It will be love at first drive!
