Nissan Experiences Rise In Sales In The US

By
Posted in General, Uncategorized

Nissan 1

January 2016 has been quite a good month for Nissan, the renowned Japanese automaker. The group posted an increase in sales in the United States by 1.6% in January. The increase was as opposed to its sales a year before. Once again, the figures prove that the customers simply love the trucks, crossovers and sports-utility vehicles.

United States have a robust market as it has posted the fastest sales growth in a decade. Nissan seems to be benefiting from the prevailing market conditions in the US. The demand for the company’s Altima sedans and Rouge crossovers have been on the rise. No matter it will offset Nissan’s not so encouraging sales in China and Japan.

There was an increase of 2.9 percent for the Nissan brand that is the namesake of the company. On the other hand, sales for the luxury Infiniti brand dipped by 11.8 percent.

Earlier, the analysts at Edmunds.com had made a projection that there will be a sales growth of 1.5 percent for the Nissan group. The projected figure was quite encouraging for the company as the analysts felt that the overall automobile industry will have a decrease of about 0.5 percent.

The month of January saw an increase of 18 percent in the sales of sports utility vehicles, pickups, and crossovers for Nissan. The trend in the automobile industry was quite obvious as many shoppers were found to deviate from small cars to bigger ones. The reason was simply. Prices of gasoline are low so bigger cars are economical to operate.

Nissan Is Set To Redesign The Armada

By
Posted in General, Uncategorized

ext-gal-002-15TDI_ARMeb002-large

There have been several speculations about the possibility for redesigning the Nisan Armada for quite some time. It is not that Armada had been a bad SUV at all but it needed a new look. So Armada’s redesign can be said to be overdue for some time now.

The all new Nissan Armada

The most important point that you will observe in the new Armada is that it looks much better than its earlier models. Its predecessor looked somewhat like a converted Titan. The new Armada’s body seems to have been inspired from the Infiniti QX80. It sports a rugged look and also appears to be more upscale than its processor.

If you compare the new Nissan Armada and X80 minutely, you will feel that the former has a look of an Infiniti but with a new tail and nose. In fact, it can be said that it is a prettier version of QX80.

The Nissan 2017 Armada’s length is 1.2 inches more than its earlier model. However, it has a shorter wheelbase. The Nissan Armada is always known for its spaciousness. The same feature continues in the 2017 model. That signifies that even in this new model there is enough space for 8 people. The car also has adequate space for placing your hockey equipment, soccer balls etc.

Luxury features

Just like its predecessor, this 2017 Nissan model has many luxurious features for its class. Some of them include heated front seats, heated 2nd row seats, steering wheel, Nissan Navigation and a Bose sound system. Nissan has also added other features such as acoustic glass on the car’s front side windows and windshield. More sound-blocking materials have been added in the new Armada so that the interior noise can be kept low.

Do you want to test drive the all new Nissan Armada? You can visit Cardinale Nissan for the same.

Why Nissan Skipped Advertising During Super Bowl 50

By
Posted in General, Uncategorized

shutterstock_208572811

In 2015, Nissan Motor Co. decided to join the list of companies not wanting to let go of the opportunity to buy some screen time during the Super Bowl. It was the first time in 18 years that Nissan had taken such a step. However, just one year into it, and the company again decided to stay off the field.

While several companies were vying to get attention from ad-watchers, Nissan decided to give the Super Bowl ads a miss. So what was the reason behind the change of plan? Was it to save money or does Nissan have something else in mind? Here are the answers.

While competitors like Volkswagen and Fiat were making sure that they made each second of their Super Bowl 50 advertisements count, Nissan was focusing on its ad campaign revolving around celebrating hundreds of smaller college sport moments.

College 100 campaign

Jeremy Tucker, the Vice President of marketing for the company, mentioned that the car maker had to choose between going all out during the Super Bowl 50 or making an impression at smaller college sporting events, several times during the year. And the company opted for the latter. He added that it was a tough choice for the company, but the decision of opting out advertising at the Super Bowl seemed better to Nissan.

The leading car maker is focusing on sponsoring schools as well as colleges and advertising at their sports events. The campaign is called College 100 and will focus on events like baseball, soccer, basketball, swimming and so on, for the next four years.

Now, that’s a marketing strategy with a purpose, what do yo think? Show some support to the company by visiting the Cardinale Nissan center today!

By
Posted in General, Uncategorized

2016-nissan-sentra-exterior-deep-blue-large

The Nissan Sentra has been a favorite in the compact sedan category ever since its launch in 2013. The model contributes to about 15 percent of the total sales of Nissan and is making the competition stiffer in the market. Nissan recently launched the 2016 version of the car and it appears to be much sportier this year, without compromising on its value features.

What’s new?

The 2016 Nissan Sentra comes with improved front and back styling (we are talking about the V-motion grille), resembling the body of a classic sedan. The car is also power-packed with features like adaptive cruise control and a power driver seat. It is also accompanied with several safety technologies like NissanConnect emergency telematics (including services like remote access and customizable alerts), a blind-spot monitor and automatic emergency braking. Other improvements include additions in the dashboard, a driver information monitor (high-resolution) and new steering wheel design offering greater control. The car is generous with space and tall drivers will specifically love it.

The car is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and offers a decent performance with 130 horsepower. Currently, the car is being offered in FE+ (fuel-efficiency-oriented), Base S, SV, SL and SR models.

Nissan has confirmed that the car is equipped with the ‘next-generation D-Step shift program’, which gives it a linear feel as far as acceleration is concerned. Visit your Cardinale Nissan dealer in Seaside today to know if the 2016 Nissan Sentra stands true to its claims.

By
Posted in Uncategorized

In the latest Nissan news we learned that the 2016 Nissan Versa has just been awarded by Kelley Blue Book as the Subcompact Car category winner in its fifth annual 5-Year Cost to Own Awards. The awards are based on the awarding company’s research and data for new cars for the initial five-year ownership period. Dan Ingle, Vice President of Vehicle Valuations, Industry Solutions and International for Kelley Blue Book, said: “New-car shoppers usually pay a lot of attention to how much a car will cost upfront; however, something an even more expensive car on the front end can actually save you money during the first five years of ownership by having low total ownership costs.”
