Nissan Looks To Expand NISMO Lineup In 2017

NISMO Lineup In 2017

Customer satisfaction will always be our number one priority at Cardinale Nissan. This year, Nissan has committed to expanding its global lineup significantly in order to offer more options to its customers, including its number of NISMO models. Though the NISMO brand may be niche, it has an extremely dedicated fan base that enjoy the added performance and style. This year, be on the lookout for double the number of NISMO models at Cardinale Nissan, your local Monterey car dealership.

–

The Nissan 370Z and Nissan GT-R are two of the most well-known NISMO performance cars, but mostly only appeal to sports car fans. Nissan is now focusing on developing NISMO versions of more popular and mainstream cars like the Juke and Versa. The Juke still has its stylish design and Color Studio customization options, but now sports a more powerful engine, an upgraded suspension system and more fluid handling. The NISMO Vera was the first #NISMO sedan and is also the most affordable model, offering a perfect blend of affordability and performance.

–

Nissan has also hinted at extending their NISMO options even further to crossovers and vans. The Nissan Quest is a safe and reliable family car, and a NISMO upgrade would make it even more fun to pilot. The Nissan Rogue hybrid and Nissan Altima are also major candidates for a performance boost thanks to their popularity and fuel efficiency. Trucks are also on NISMO’s to-do list, including the Nissan Pathfinder and Titan.

–

The best part of owning a NISMO is the driving experience, so head over to Cardinale Nissan for a test drive in any of our new or used cars. No matter what kind of car you are in the market for, be sure to stop by our website at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Run Your Car Cleaner And More Efficiently By Getting Your Filters Changed

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Changing air filters

Any air that circulates in buildings will naturally have contaminants and pollutants at first, which can be removed by a clean air filter. You can also find many houses with water filters that remove any excess heavy minerals that can negatively impact taste or your health. A car also has several filters that keep everything running smoothly, and they eventually need replacing after so much use. To get your filters easily checked at a Monterey car dealership, head over to our friendly service department at Cardinale Nissan.

–

Engine Air And Cabin Air Filter

Both the engine and the car cabin itself have their own dedicated air filters. The air filter is critical for preventing contaminants from reaching the inner chambers, where they can cause costly damage. Not only will the engine be less responsive if you have a dirty air filter, it will greatly lower your fuel economy. The cabin air filter is important for maintaining a high quality of air that you breathe while driving, and a clean replacement can help ease problems like asthma and allergies.

–

Emission Filter

An ingenious way that car designers have improved fuel economy and reduced pollution is reburning the fumes that are produced during combustion. During this process, dangerous oil vapor can be produced and the emission filter is responsible for removing this hazard.

–

Fuel Filter

To properly burn, fuel must mix with air and the fuel filter removes any potential contaminants in the fuel before it reaches the engine. Gasoline and diesel fuels are not totally pure, and any dirt that builds up in your engine will reduce your car’s efficiency.

Whether your new or used car from #CardinaleNissan needs detailed service work or just a quick inspection, we will be happy to provide quality Nissan car service. To skip the wait and save some time, be sure to book an appointment online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Experience The Beauty That Lies Off-Road In Any Nissan Car

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With all the nature and scenic sites around Monterey, being able to head off-road in your car opens up numerous opportunities. Going off-road lets you escape the busy city traffic and spend some quality time with friends and family while surrounded by beauty. Contrary to popular belief though, you don’t need a rugged ATV or heavy duty truck like the Nissan Pathfinder to tackle the rough roads, and at Cardinale Nissan we can help you transform your car into the ultimate off-road machine.

–

The tires on your Nissan make the biggest difference when traversing uneven terrain. They will be under much more stress on rocky ground, and four all-terrain tires will make the ride safer and smoother. Try to find a tire with a tread that is well suited for gripping loose surfaces and has a wide sidewall. If your car generally uses smaller tires, a wide sidewall will help maintain balance and grip the road better. Another major benefit of #all-terrain tires is their enhanced resistance to punctures from sharp rocks and surfaces you might encounter.

–

Because getting car service is much more difficult while off-road, it is important get your car inspected for any potential problems before heading out on a longer trip. Our service department at Cardinale Nissan can make sure your car is running at maximum efficiency, as well as see if any fluids need replacing. We will also check that your all-terrain tires are properly rotated and aligned to reduce any added strain.

–

If you have any other concerns about your Nissan Altima or other Nissan model, be sure to visit our service professionals at Cardinale Nissan. You can easily schedule Nissan car service online as well as browse our entire inventory at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Partners With Mobileye To Make Self-Driving Systems Safer And More Efficient

By

Nissan Partners With Mobileye

The age of self-driving and autonomous cars is drawing nearer, and many companies have already shown off their working prototypes. Earlier this year, Nissan debuted their autonomous Leaf on the streets of London, taking willing participants out for a drive. Nissan is now working to make these cars safer and more efficient by teaming up with Mobileye in creating specialized maps. As the car drives around the city, it will be mapping out roads and buildings with extreme precision. Come down to a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan to see how this will improve the upcoming Leaf and other Nissan models.

–

The specialized computer chips created by Mobileye already help to reduce collisions by monitoring a car’s surroundings. Several Nissan models already have this ability to detect when a forward collision will occur and automatically stop the car. Mobileye’s new mapping chips will create a mapping network by collaborating with other vehicles. Because this system benefits from the participation of as many vehicles and companies as possible, BMW and Volkswagen have also partnered in creating this digital map.

–

All autonomous systems benefit from having a real time map that updates constantly. This will make self-driving cars much safer as they can better predict other cars’ movements, and it will also add more possible routes for the car to take. A connected network would also allow for these cars to report accidents and immediately recognize delays which could save drivers time by suggesting alternate navigation options.

–

At Cardinale Nissan, not only can you find great deals on all current models like the 2017 Nissan Altima, you can expect savings on autonomous cars when they arrive at Nissan dealerships. Nissan has already hinted at a self-driving 2018 Nissan Leaf, so stay updated on the latest news at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Versa

When purchasing a new car from Cardinale Nissan, one of the best classes to get the most out of your hard-earned money is a sedan. They offer ample seating for most families and enough trunk space for long vacations, so it’s no big surprise they are one of the best-selling Nissan models. You can even find many performance upgrades that let you enjoy all that driving can offer. At our Monterey car dealership, you will find the #Versa and Versa Note, which offer all the tech and performance features of luxury sedans at a much more affordable price.

–

Nissan Versa

This “big little car” makes the most out of its small size, thanks to efficient design choices. While it may seem small at first glance, the Versa has the most rear legroom in its class and enough headroom for your tallest passengers. This combined with the comfortable seats means everyone gets to enjoy the ride without feeling cramped. The #Versa also has a special microfinish, which minimizes friction and gives the car an EPA estimated 34.5 combined mpg.

–

Versa Note

If you are searching for a little extra trunk room and customization options, take a test drive in the 2017 Versa Note. It offers even more cargo space with its hatchback design, allowing you to carry any extra suitcases or sporting equipment. The Versa Note also is slightly more fuel efficient than its cousin and features a class-exclusive around view monitor. It even has its own Color Studio that lets you customize every interior and exterior color choice.

You can find great deals on both of these cars at a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan. We make the whole car buying process easy, and you can view all our latest Nissan models online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

The most memorable part of this longstanding establishment is the incredible view of the ocean from the huge windows. Whether you spent the afternoon listening to sea lions on the pier or went out on a sightseeing excursion, settle in for some homemade comfort food and great service from the friendly staff. Also, be sure to check out their full bar and wine offerings that have received several awards.

While this fine dining establishment is mostly known for being the number one steak house in Monterey for over 45 years, they treat their seafood specials with the same care. When preparing steak or seafood, cooking them perfectly is essential to both taste and texture, and the chefs at the Whaling Station have mastered this art. They are located right above #CanneryRow, with a great view of the surrounding area.

How To Deal With Windshield Damage On Your Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Cracked windshield repair

The sharp smack or ping of a rock hitting the windshield can be a frightening sound when driving on the highway. Even a small rock striking the glass at the right angle can cause damage to the windshield, and larger projectiles can cause serious cracks. Small chips or breaks may not appear to be a significant problem, but even a small fracture can grow into a bigger problem if not handled in a timely manner. At Cardinale Nissan in Monterey, our Nissan car service experts are trained to help repair these problems and can help you learn to avoid them in the future.

–

One of the biggest dangers of windshield cracks is their ability to expand and cause problems that are more difficult to fix. If a fracture is left untreated, it can spiral into a bigger and more expensive crack on its own as the glass expands and contracts. It also makes the windshield much more susceptible to additional stress, and the entire structure could break with a severe enough impact. Dirt and debris found on the road can also make their way into the pit of the glass, making the repair costlier.

–

The good news is that windshield damage is often covered by your auto insurance, and a crack smaller than a dollar bill is easy to fix. There are also many ways to avoid cracks in the first place. If you are traveling on gravel or rocky road, give the car in front of you additional space when traveling at higher speeds. Also, try to avoid being in the same lane as trucks that are hauling gravel or other debris.

–

If your car has suffered any glass damage, including on the mirrors or headlights, a Monterey car dealership like #CardinaleNissan is the place to go. You can even schedule an appointment online for our service shop at www.cardinalenissan.com.
