Nissan understands the paramount importance of vehicle safety. As a testament to this commitment, nearly all models now include Nissan Safety Shield 360 as standard. This impressive array of advanced driver-assist technologies is engineered to elevate your confidence on the road. Here's a glimpse of some of the notable safety features available from Nissan:

Since the start of driver training, emphasizing attention on the road ahead has been fundamental. However, maintaining awareness of what occurs behind the vehicle and within blind spots holds equal importance. This can be challenging for drivers, but the Nissan Safety Shield 360 simplifies this crucial aspect.

 

Electric vehicles (EVs) have made a significant impact on the automotive industry in recent years. Advancements in technology and growing environmental concerns have fueled the surge in popularity of electric cars. However, despite their many advantages, there remain myths and misconceptions about electric vehicles.

The Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R has held a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts for years, even though it was never officially available in the United States. This iconic supercar made its debut in 1998 and remained in production until 2002, tantalizing American fans who could only dream of owning one. While advertised with 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque, reports suggest that the 1999 R34 Skyline actually packed around 330 horsepower, making it a formidable force during its time.
 

The Nissan Z is a sleek, sporty coupe that has been around for over 50 years. It has consistently been praised for its power, performance, and style. The latest model of the Nissan Z has won the prestigious Best Sport Coupe in the 2023 MotorWeek Drivers' Choice Awards. This honor is yet another testament to how far the Nissan Z has come since it first debuted in 1969.

 

The GT4 is a race-bred, track-focused version of Nissan's iconic Z sports car. This car is designed for track enthusiasts who want to go fast but still have a comfortable ride. The GT4 was built from the ground up as a lightweight race car. This allows racers to put down maximum horsepower while maintaining an optimal weight distribution for a race car.

Another one of the many sedans that will end production soon, Nissan announced plans to discontinue its Nissan Maxima around the mid part of 2023. The decision followed at the heels of a dramatic drop in sales, and in the first half of 2022, Nissan had only sold 3,753 units of the Maxima. To put that into perspective, the Altima, in the same time frame, sold 78,610 units.

Nissan has expanded their Certified Pre-Owned program to include older models and select non-Nissan vehicles. Nissan says that this will allow more people to use a CPO vehicle and make sure they are as financially sound as possible when buying a car. Drivers of Nissan vehicles can also find the perfect used vehicle or lease through the Nissan e-commerce site after being approved by their local dealership. The company is now confident that there is greater customer satisfaction with these new developments.

The Nissan LEAF has a limited range of 150 mi, which is not very long for some consumers. However, one recent LEAF charging system update will soon change all that.

This charger can charge batteries faster and more safely than traditional chargers. With this update, the owner can schedule a reverse charge on their EV charger and take advantage of off-peak electricity rates. A built-in circuit breaker will ensure that the car and home are not damaged if there is an issue with the system.

 

After 42 years on the market, Nissan has announced that the Maxima will no longer be produced. The decision is part of the automaker's plan to focus on more popular and profitable models.
