The Newly redesigned 2011 Nissan Quest
Reserve yours TODAY!

 

Although Nissan’s popular family minivan took a brief hiatus, Nissan is set to release an all new, redesigned version of the early next year. Clearly the designers took a unique direction with the Quest2011 Quest’s new style, producing a boxy, yet classy and eye-catching chassis. Although the Quest will not officially be unveiled until the Los Angeles International Auto Show this December, you can scroll down to see a sneak peak of the latest and greatest from Nissan.

Interior

Nissan has successfully kept any details regarding the new Quest away from the prying eyes of the public, only releasing a few teaser shots of the dramatically different exterior, and more subtle interior. No word yet on price, or even what power-train will drive the van.

Clearly the Quest’s new look is meant to send a clear picture to other manufacturers: Nissan is back in the van game. This means pricing, options, and nearly everything else about the vehicle will be most likely be very competitive.

Preview of 2011 Nissan Juke

The world’s automakers have jump-started the small-car segment over the past few years, debuting such unique and trendsetting vehicles as the Nissan Cube, the Scion xB, the Kia Soul, and even the Toyota Yaris. Now comes the latest entry into the segment, the Nissan Juke, which borrows its design from the automaker’s Qazana concept car, as well as stablemates such as the Nissan Rogue and Murano. In addition, the designers drew inspiration from rally cars of the 1960s and ’70s, which helps explain the Juke’s bug-like looks.

Running lights and turn signals, for instance, bulge out of the Juke’s front fenders, and the round, rally-like headlights are integrated into the grille above the front bumper. Nissan elevated the cabin to provide drivers with a better view of the road, and gives the Juke a coupe-like appearance, with a sloped roofline, tapered windows, and a fastback-style rear end with “boomerang” taillights resembling those on the Nissan 370Z. The pronounced wheel flares were also borrowed from rally cars, according to Nissan. In addition, the automaker built the rear door handles right into the body, resulting in a sleek, sporty body.

The Juke’s unique styling continues inside. The center console, inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank, displays a rounded, swooping design with a high-gloss surface. A short-throw shifter, designed for a sporty driving experience on trims with the manual transmission, sits on top of the console. The bolstered front seats on either side offer plenty of support. In the back, a 60/40-split fold-down rear seat provides flexibility for carrying passengers and cargo.

Owners will also find a number of innovations inside, including the optional Integrated Control (I-CON) driver interface system, which makes its debut on the Juke. The I-CON puts a wide range of cabin and performance controls at the driver’s fingertips. It features Climate and D (Drive) modes, and displays information on a small color screen on the center console. In Climate mode, owners can adjust the cabin’s temperature settings, while in D-Mode owners can choose three different throttle/transmission/steering response settings, including Normal for typical driving, Sport for a more aggressive feel, and Eco for maximum efficiency.

In addition, the I-CON system displays trip information and enables drivers to manage such settings as interior ambient lighting and door unlock sensitivity. A readout located on the instrument panel above the steering wheel displays synchronized information within easy view of the driver.

Despite its compact size, the Juke seats five passengers and comes standard with such features as premium fabric upholstery, a six-way manual driver’s seat, a four-way manual passenger seat, speed-sensitive door locks, Bluetooth, an iPod interface system, and an AM/FM/CD audio system with steering-wheel-mounted controls. Optional features include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a navigation system with real-time traffic, and a rear-view monitor.

Power for the Juke comes in the form of an all-new, 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) four-cylinder engine, which generates 180+ hp and 170+ lb-ft of torque. The engine features both a turbocharger and an intercooler for enhanced performance, while variable valve timing helps ensure good fuel economy and optimal low-end torque. Owners can choose from either a six-speed manual transmission or Nissan’s Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) with an S-Mode for sporty driving.

In addition, owners can add Nissan’s new torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system, which is available as an option. The AWD system manages torque both front-to-back and left-to-right, depending on a variety of factors, to ensure optimal handling and stability. The system can also send up to 50% of available torque to either rear wheel to help improve traction. In its standard front-wheel-drive configuration, the Juke includes additional storage spaces under the rear cargo floor.

Vehicle-speed-sensing electric power-assisted steering and antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist all come standard on the Juke. Safety features include Nissan’s Advanced Air Bag System, which consists of dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact airbags, and seat-mounted driver and front passenger side-impact airbags, along with accompanying head restraints and sensors. The Juke rides on 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with all-season tires.

Nissan will sell electric car for just over $25K Deland Nissan will accept Pre-Orders

NEW YORK – Nissan’s new electric car will cost just over $25,000 when it goes on sale in the U.S. in December, aiming to bring gasoline-free technology within reach of mainstream drivers.

The Leaf, a four-door hatchback, will have a base price of $32,780, but it’s eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles. That will make it cheaper to buy than electric vehicles coming from rivals and may force competitors to cut prices. But the Leaf’s limited range of just 100 miles per charge for its lithium-ion battery could be a dealbreaker for some motorists.

“We want to make sure the car is affordable, ready for the mass market and has mass appeal,” Mark Perry, director of product planning and advanced technology at Nissan North America Inc., said in an interview.

Customers can start reserving a Leaf in the U.S. on April 20 and Nissan is aiming for 25,000 orders by December. It hopes to build and sell 50,000 of the cars around the world during the first model year. Production is starting at an existing factory in Oppama, Japan, south of Tokyo, and will expand to Nissan’s factory in Smyrna, Tenn., in 2012.

Christopher Richter, an auto analyst at CLSA Asia Pacific Markets in Tokyo, predicted the car will prove popular among “people who want to be green, people who love technology and people who are status-conscious.”

Sales during the first year will be limited to about 20 large cities in the U.S., including New York, Seattle and Atlanta, Perry said. He said Nissan hopes to expand Leaf sales nationwide by the end of 2011.

The Leaf’s relatively low starting price — as well as an option to lease the vehicle for $349 a month — could touch off a price war among rivals. A spokesman for General Motors Co., which will begin selling its Chevrolet Volt electric car later this year, said it will look at Nissan’s pricing before announcing its own closer to its December sales date.

The Volt is widely expected to cost around $35,000 before the $7,500 tax credit. Unlike the Leaf, the Volt is not a pure electric car. Instead it’s propelled by electricity stored in a battery for up to 40 miles, at which point a gasoline engine kicks in, giving it hundreds of miles more in range.

Perry said the Leaf’s 100-mile range is more than adequate for the distance driven by most Americans in a given day. Still, analysts say the psychological effect of so-called range anxiety might be an obstacle for the Leaf. The Volt’s internal combustion engine eases that concern by allowing drivers to continue going long after the electric charge is depleted.

“The Volt … has a much larger appeal,” said Aaron Bragman, an auto industry analyst with IHS Global Insight in Troy, Mich.

It will take about eight hours to recharge a Leaf using a 220-volt electric plug — the kind used by most electric clothes dryers. Charging using a standard 110-volt outlet could take twice that. Nissan is giving Leaf customers the option of buying a home charging station at an estimated cost, including installation, of $2,200. That cost can be offset by a 50-percent tax credit up to $2,000.

At average electricity rates, charging the Leaf would cost about $2.80 per charge.

The Volt has a smaller battery than the Leaf and can’t go as far on full electric power. But it can be fully recharged in eight hours on a standard 110-volt home outlet. Using a 220-volt outlet, it takes less than four hours.

The Leaf and the Volt will be the first among many electric cars due from mainstream automakers in the coming years. Until now, electric cars like the two-seater Tesla Roadster with a price tag of $100,000 have largely been playthings of the wealthy.

Tax credits for plug-in electric vehicles top out at $7,500. The size of the credit shrinks by automaker after it’s sold at least 200,000 vehicles in the U.S. The credit then phases out over a year.

Nissan says the Leaf will cost 3.76 million yen ($40,000) in Japan. It will price the car lower in the U.S. because it wants to sell more of them in that market. But Perry said Nissan is confident the company will make a profit on each Leaf sold in the U.S. at a lower list price.

One reason is because Nissan owns the intellectual property to the battery, which was developed jointly by Nissan and NEC. “We control the battery costs,” Perry said.

But Nissan may be deliberately setting the price low and may even lose money to establish itself as the market leader, said Erich Merkle, president of the consulting company Autoconomy.com in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Although the Volt can travel farther on a single charge, GM still has to compete with the Leaf on price, especially among motorists who have short commutes or a second car for long-distance travel, Merkle said.

So far, some 81,000 people in the U.S. — where the Leaf went on a promotional 22-city tour earlier this year — have said they are interested in the car via Nissan’s Web site. In Japan some 9,300 people have signaled an interest.

Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn, who also heads France’s Renault, has been a vocal proponent of electric vehicles, and predicts the segment will grow to about 10 percent of global sales by 2020

We have an excellent selection of Maximas to choose from click here Delandnissan.com

The 2010 Nissan Maxima: Everything Done Right
Luxury and performance blended perfectly.

The new 2010 Nissan Maxima is attention grabbing with its aggressive and sporty stature. When you get behind the wheel, you’ll understand why this vehicle is described as a “four-door sportscar.” Sample its performance while you enjoy its creature comforts. This is the way to go.

Now in its seventh-generation, Maxima just keeps getting better. For the 2010 models, there are new finishes for the 18- and 19-inch wheels, new exterior colors, standard USB input and some freshening of equipment included in optional packages.

Available in two trims, S and SV, Maxima’s standard powerplant is a 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 that generates 290 hp and 261 lb/ft of torque. This is paired with an Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission® (CVT) for optimal engine performance and efficiency. The engine features a Continuously Variable Timing Control System (CVTCS), as well as Nissan’s Direct Ignition System for enhanced performance off the line. Reviewers from Edmunds.com describe the V6 as “very strong” and “a lot of fun to drive.” EPA-estimated fuel economy for both Maxima trims is 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.

Nissan calls the design theme for the Maxima’s exterior “liquid motion.” From the hood to the trunk, the design is a wave-like flow and it’s downright seductive. An aesthetically pleasing feature is the giant dual-panel moonroof with a retractable glass front half. Other eye-catching features include the L-shaped headlights, wide grille and high decklid.

The interior of the Maxima is pure luxury, and it’s clearly driver-driven with a cockpit-like setting that includes premium leather seating and steering wheel-mounted paddleshifters. The driver is in complete command thanks to the closely placed controls and raised center console controls. Firmly bolstered seats offer plenty of support, and rear seats are supportive and comfortable as well. Maxima delivers the perfect blend of refinement and comfort.

The S trim comes standard with automatic headlights, a power-sliding moonroof, dual-zone automatic temperature control, eight-way power driver and four-way power passenger’s seats, a trip computer, an auto-dimming inside mirror and an in-dash six-CD changer with auxiliary audio jack. The SV adds leather upholstery, HomeLink universal remote, nine-speaker Bose audio system, a compass and a driver’s seat manual thigh-support extender with power lumbar support.

Opt for the Premium Package on the SV trim and you’ll also get a rearview camera, seven-inch LCD screen, the dual-panel moonroof with power sunshades, rear-seat audio and temperature controls, a cooled driver’s seat and an iPod interface. The Sport Package for the SV boasts a rear spoiler, 19-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension and metallic-look interior trim.

Audio and technology junkies will appreciate Nissan’s optional Technology Package for the SV trim. It includes a rearview camera, USB connectivity, 9.3GB of digital music storage and voice-activated XM NavTraffic and XM NavWeather.

For safety, all Maximas come standard with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Traction Control System (TCS), antilock disc brakes, advanced dual-stage front airbags, full-length side-curtain airbags, front-seat side airbags and front and rear outboard Active Head Restraints. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the 2010 Maxima a five star rating, the highest possible, for protection in frontal and side-impact crashes.

Kelley Blue Book sums it up quite nicely, saying the Nissan Maxima “does a great job in combining looks, power and practicality.” Take their word for it, or come in for a test drive. The Maxima 3.5 S MSRP starts at $30,460.

The 2010 Nissan Murano Charts Its Own Unique Course

The 2010 Nissan Murano Charts Its Own Unique Course and at Deland Nissan we have many to choose from just visit us at DELANDNISSAN.COM to view our selection of New and Used Muranos.
Attractive crossover refuses to heel to the staid expectations fostered by its midsize competitors.

The family segment is one of the most hotly contested areas of the automotive market with competition ranging from traditional sedans and wagons to full-on truck-based sport-utility vehicles. The 2010 Nissan Murano is a midsize crossover utility vehicle that has managed to find a niche by providing buyers with a choice that is truly different when compared against the vast majority of homogenous options.

 The 2010 Nissan Murano (MSRP $28,050) looks different, as well. The vehicle takes the standard crossover teardrop shape and then adds teeth in the form of an aggressively canted and slatted front grille bookended by angular headlights that carve a vaguely menacing chunk out of the forward fenders. Farther back along the vehicle’s bodywork, the eye can detect the suggestion of thick haunches, and the upswept rear glass provides a splash of sport that brightens up the entire design.

 The Murano rides high, giving it the same type of stance you would typically expect from a truck-based sport-utility vehicle, but it shares its basic platform with the popular Nissan Altima. This means that not only does the Murano manage to look sporty, it also backs its looks up with performance that doesn’t stray too far from that provided by a midsize family sedan. The exciting result is that the Murano is as comfortable and responsive as vehicles offering far less utility and interior space. The Murano’s construction has been stiffened with each passing year, allowing it to extend the Altima chassis without enduring any rubbery antics while traversing rough roads. Instead of attempting to cram in as many passengers as possible, the crossover opts to accommodate up to five in relatively spacious surroundings. It also offers 64 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats out of the picture, and almost half that is still available when carrying a full entourage of adults. 

The 2010 Nissan Murano is well appointed with standard features often found as uplevel options on more expensive vehicles, and Nissan allows for buyers to outfit the vehicle with enough gadgets and gear to nip at the heels of the near-premium market. The Murano S starts out with a push button ignition, cruise control, dual climate controls and a leather-wrapped shiftknob. Stepping into the Murano SL expands the equipment list to include a power driver’s seat, power rear seatbacks and steering wheel controls for the stereo. The top of the line Murano LE goes whole hog with Bluetooth integration, a rearview camera with a seven-inch monitor that doubles as a vehicle information center, heated leather seats front and back, HID headlights and rain-sensitive windshield wipers. Several interesting options packages are available, and through them, Murano buyers can add a hard drive-based entertainment system, a navigation system with XM weather and traffic and a DVD player for rear occupants. 

Nissan has wisely decided to install its vaunted 3.5-liter V6 engine under the hood of the 2010 Murano. Based on the same unit that has motivated both the Nissan 350Z and the Infiniti G35, the engine offers serious thrust underneath the right foot of drivers – to the tune of 265 hp and 248 lb/ft of torque. Surprisingly, despite this level of power, Murano’s fuel economy numbers of 18 mpg city and 23 mpg highway are impressive for a crossover of its size. This is, in part, thanks to the inclusion of a sophisticated, continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) with adaptive shift control technology – a unit that works well in unison with the Murano’s V6 to provide linear acceleration and smooth gear shifts. The crossover can be had with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, which is a definite bonus for those buyers who live in climates where a little extra winter traction is always welcome.

 Of course, the Murano is also designed to ensconce occupants in a virtual cocoon of safety features in order to provide maximum protection should fate intervene on the highway. Roof- and seat-mounted side airbags, as well as dual-stage front airbags, cushion any impact, and the crossover’s Vehicle Dynamic Control and traction control work together to prevent an accident from occurring in the first place.

The 2010 Nissan Murano is the ideal vehicle for any driver willing to throw off the yoke of boring family cars and instead, get behind the wheel of a crossover that refuses to make any apologies about its ability to bridge the worlds of practicality and fun driving dynamics.
