One of the best actions you can take to help the environment and your wallet is switching to an electric car. New technology can be somewhat daunting however, especially when it is in something as important and valuable as a car. If you are like many people considering a switch, you likely have a lot of questions, like “What’s it like to drive the Nissan Leaf?” or “How do you charge a Nissan Leaf.” Luckily, we have all the answers to these questions and many others at nissanusa.com from certified owners of the car.

 

People who have actually driven a certain car are some of the best to take recommendations and advice from. The credibility of actual drivers is why online reviews are so popular, and the question and answer section can give people struggling to make up their mind the answers they want. On the webpage you can look at real responses by real people to questions like “How far can you go on a single charge?” For example, Heather G from Georgia commented that she travels, “around 80-85 miles without the Eco Mode on.”

All across the globe, car companies often have region specific models that are only sold in one area. For example, a number of cars are only sold in Japan or in the U.K. Companies often do this based on the regional popularity of certain types of car or if they better fit the geographic features. Many of these cars end up finding their way to additional regions, such as the Nissan Qashqai, which will be also be sold in the U.S. during the next year.

 

Much like its brother the Nissan Rogue, the Nissan Qashqai is a stylish crossover that brings together the best parts of sedans and SUVs. The crossover is the bestselling type of car on the market, thanks to its seating and fuel efficiency, which makes it great for families. Additionally, they include a fun-to-drive engine and extra storage. The Nissan Rogue has recently become the bestselling model for Nissan in 2016, even surpassing the award winning Nissan Altima and the economic Sentra. Together these two cars offer a wide selection of features and engine levels that all drivers will appreciate.

The two cars do have some differences. For starters, the #Qashqai is more compact and offers two rows of seating. It trades these for a cheaper price tag, fewer pounds and a more fuel efficient engine. This car is a great alternative for people looking for a bit of a smaller vehicle, while the Rogue is perfect for larger families that need the seating and trunk space, or are interested in the new hybrid engine option.

 

Look for this car to be unveiled at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show, and you can also test drive the 2017 Rogue today at your Monterey car dealership, Cardinale Nissan. Come see all the fantastic benefits of driving a crossover, or you can read more about us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Experience A New Level Of Driving Excitement In The Nissan 370Z

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Back in 2009, the Nissan 370Z made its first appearance in the United States. It’s futuristic design and responsive engine set it apart as a premiere sports car, which is a very competitive class. Since that day, the car hasn’t been altered too much, receiving only a few changes each year to its slick design. To examine how this stand out car compares against the latest competition, the people at automobilemag.com took the car for a spin during a week-long review.

 

A big reason to buy a car from the sports car class like the 370Z is the incredible engine within. The #370Z sports a top of the line 3.7-liter V6 engine that cranks out 332 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Over the last couple of years, the engine has received small changes to its responsiveness and feel, but for the most part it is still follows the same build as eight years ago. All Nissan cars and parts display this longevity and durability, and you can be confident this car will last for many years after it leaves the dealership.

 

The Nissan 370Z is also one of the most economical sports cars you can find, and it’s the, “only two-seat sports coupe under $40,000.” Nissan has always opted for this two-seater configuration in a performance car like the 370Z, as it makes the car lighter, creates a bigger cabin for the driver and allows for more features. Equipment like the incredible zero-gravity seats ensure the car is, “special to drive around town.”

Nissan 2 Altima heads into production

 

Being the best selling car for any company is a difficult task, but the Nissan Altima makes it look effortless. It simply is one of the most practical and versatile cars on the market, thanks to the large variety of features that are packed into a surprisingly low price. 2017 is looking to be another big year for this outstanding model, so here is a quick review of what you need to know about the new Nissan Altima.

 

The most important part of any car is the engine, and the Altima’s is exceptionally powerful. The Altima has two engine choices this year depending on the package level, a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder one capable of creating 182 horsepower, and a larger V6 that produces 270 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A quick test drive in both of these cars will reveal which engine you like prefer, so don’t hesitate to ask. Continuously Variable Transmission has also been added, which can tune rpm levels in order to maintain a high fuel efficiency.

 

The real reason people are flocking to the #Altima however is the amount of premium features that are included in the base model. The car still has packages like the SV and SL, which do add some useful features, but the important ones all come standard. A large touchscreen infotainment system, smartphone connectivity through USB outlets and high quality interior seating are just a few of the features you can expect to enjoy.

The Nissan Rogue’s New Engine Raises Fuel Efficiency And Performance

By

Nissan Rogue

 

Some vehicles can just do everything well, and most of these cars are crossover SUVs. They have ample room for families along with a spacious trunk to get carry around luggage or groceries. These practical cars both look good and can adapt well to every task that presents itself. The Nissan Rogue has made its way into this class with some brand new changes for this year, which make it remarkably fuel efficient and enjoyable to drive.

 

The average fuel economy of most crossover SUVs is around 25 mpg, but the latest hybrid development from Nissan will bump the #Rogue up even higher. Thanks to this creation, the Nissan Rogue will rise to a combined fuel efficiency of 33 mpg, placing it above major competitors like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. This is also an upgrade of approximately six mpg over the combustion engine option on the Nissan Rogue, and the small upgrade cost will be pay for itself at the pump before you know it. The package also includes a panoramic glass roof, which gives a perfect view of all the stars at night.

 

The hybrid engine gives great efficiency but does not have to sacrifice in responsiveness and power. Forbes recently conducted a test between the two, and the hybrid model feels exactly the same as the classic combustion engine when it comes to dynamic driving. Purchasing a hybrid doesn’t mean your drive shouldn’t be enjoyable, and this SUV certainly doesn’t compromise. If you are interested in learning about other upgrade trims like the Premium and Platinum packages, visit our website at www.cardinalenissan.com.
