Nissan’s New Maxima Reinvents The Popular Four Door Sports Car

Nissan MAxima 2

Manufacturing and marketing a sports car can be difficult business. Most people are seeking power and thrill when driving a sports car, with smooth and quick acceleration. But one of the main disadvantages of most sports cars is their limited passenger seating and implementation of a two-door system. After all, why wouldn’t you want to share exhilaration and thrill with as many friends as possible? That’s why Nissan has created the all-new 2017 Nissan Maxima, appropriately named “the four-door sports car”.

 

The Nissan Maxima is a sports sedan that trades a minor amount of sleekness and weight for numerous features and much more spacious passenger seating. This year’s redesign has primarily worked to improve the interior features and add more luxury options. The base model has a brand new audio system, as well as an eight inch display to combine audio, Bluetooth, navigation and satellite radio in an easy to access location.

 

The Maxima is available with three potential upgrade packages depending on the model: Medallion, Dynamic and Midnight. The Medallion tacks on a stylish spoiler, 18-inch wheels and accent lighting for the interior and ground. The Dynamic also sports a spoiler and larger wheels, along with illuminated kick plates and side rocker moldings. The Midnight package creates a brand new look to the car with a sport spoiler, gloss-black wheels and charcoal colored interior seats. The Maxima also comes with Zero Gravity seating manufactured from high quality Ascota leather that also accents other interior features such as the steering wheel.

Electric Nissans Help To Keep An Island’s Air Free From Pollution

Nissan Leaf 4

People are always finding inventive and exciting ways to make our planet a little cleaner. Whether it’s using LED light bulbs or using less water, every little bit makes a difference. Recently, the Channel Island Jersey post office in the United Kingdom has been playing their part by switching to an all-electric fleet of Nissan eNV200 vans, and are reducing carbon emissions by almost 35 tonnes per year.

 

Channel Island is a small but thriving group of islands off the southern coast of the UK, of which the island of Jersey is the largest. This localized area is the ideal place for any electric car to make an impactful difference. Electric cars operate best over many shorter drives rather than a single long distance, and with the Nissan Leaf leading the industry in mileage per charge, this fleet of vans based on the Leaf’s design are perfect for replacing the average diesel post-office truck. The 100-mile range is easily enough to power these cars through a day of delivering mail on such an island.

 

These vans have other upsides along with emitting no carbon. Electric vans are much more economical than diesel vans, featuring a great warranty and as well as more robust engine. Electric engines are more reliable and break less than regular engines, meaning less maintenance that could disrupt important mail service to businesses and people. The Director of Operations of the post office Andy Jehan summarized, “the vans are…ideal for the short distance, stop/start driving that the job involves.”

Nissan Looks To Artificial Intelligence For Future Car Designs

Car design is an art form, and remains essential to establishing a brand. Every manufacturer has its own individual lines and shapes that let consumers to distinguish different companies, much like a painter’s brush strokes. However, with the recent push for more and more features and tech, creating an all-encompassing design has been slowly increasing in difficulty. Because of this Nissan is taking a big step forward into creating an artificial intelligence that can design a car on its own from pictures and design limitations.

 

Imagine this: a company needs to add a USB port for charging or playing music to the center display. Sounds easy right? Unfortunately, you can’t just place it anywhere; it needs to be easily accessible, not displace another button and wiring and software needs to be installed to make it run correctly. Every change affects the entire design, and this stage where Nissan’s AI steps in. A computer can much more easily determine the adjustments and added stress that will be put on the vehicle from any change, and with enough data can even account for this by altering materials or moving other parts. This would happen in a matter of minutes, while a human would take much longer.

 

While this AI is currently in the testing phase, results look promising. The computer has already been able to design a never before seen car, and while it was not perfect, it’s a great head start.

 

To take a look at some of Nissan’s cars designed by human engineers and test drive their creations, pay us a visit at Cardinale Nissan, or see our full inventory online. We want to be your dealership!
