Nissan Sunnyvale

Nissan has big plans for the next two years. And we mean, big - five new models in the next 15 months, to be exact. They got a strong start with the next-generation Nissan Pathfinder, revealed at the North American International Auto Show in January, and they're taking yet another big leap with the all-new Nissan Altima at the New York Auto Show. The Altima will go on sale first, in July, and the Pathfinder…

In scrutinizing both the available teaser image and video, we can tell you the design language gets a whole lot more dynamic compared to the…

There will be a Nissan Titan facelift coming to Nissan Sunnyvale, but it won't be released as soon as everyone thought. The official date for Titan's facelift has been pushed back until 2014. This is the time of year when auto makers typically release new or updated models. However, this year's tragic earthquake that struck Japan, as well as a tsunami which occurred after, put a stop to scheduled production.

One of…

Nissan is working hard to lower the emissions from all vehicles, not just their electric Nissan Leaf. The company will soon implement an advanced supercharged engine matted to a hybrid powerplant.

This hybrid, which will be available on cars at Nissan Sunnyvale one day, connects a supercharged 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine with CVT transmission, electric motor, and lithium-ion battery. Details on fuel economy will depend on the vehicles themselves, though Nissan "seems to have…

It's not just consumers who recognize the Nissan JUKE as a model that stands out from the CUV crowd. Nissan does, too. In fact, they're trying to play up the JUKE's uniqueness by infusing it with key components from the dramatic, sporty Nissan GT-R Super Car (i.e., the 530-hp, 3.9-liter, V6 engine;  six-speed transaxle; RWD driveline; prop shaft; 20-inch alloy RAYS).

As you can tell, the design is focused primarily…

The Nissan Xterra was introduced with a very specific driver in mind. That is the extreme outdoor enthusiast. It was first launched 11 years ago. And, to this day, it continues to deliver "innovation for the extreme..."¹

For the 2012 model year the Nissan Xterra will continue to offer a rock-solid body and accommodating "multi-flex" interior, which not only includes a haven of usable cargo space, but also a collection of convenience features, including?

The young Nissan LEAF just had another first-ever experience. The award-winning EV went to Denmark to compete in the inaugural Oresund Rally - a competition open exclusively to electric vehicles (EVs).

The Danish EV rally was dramatically different from events in which conventional petrol cars compete. There were no dirt storms or aerobatic-like moments. Rather, the main criteria judged at the Oresund Rally was timing, which kept things pretty calm.

Competitors were tasked with passing established…

It's hard to find anyone that doesn't like August. The temperatures tend to be slightly less abrasive. The air carries the invigorating, crisp fragrance of fall... But, it's also bittersweet. At least for those who reside in states with seasons, the close of August makes winter more of a reality than a distant memory. Well, Nissan is determined to help ward off the end-of-summer doldrums. Effectively, they've launched "The Nissan Keep…

The Nissan LEAF EV is gaining traction with over 10,000 units sold to date. Already Nissan is elevating LEAF owners' experience. Specifically, the Japanese automaker has launched a new Blackberry-and Android-compatible app.

What exactly does the app do? Let us first say, it's far more comprehensive than many apps carmakers have made available, which primarily consist of a user's manual, or serve as a platform to buy additional "gear". Rather, the new…
