Car Maintenance Tip of the Week

Engine oil

Checking and changing oil is critical to keep today’s engines running properly and efficiently. Follow manufacturer guidelines for changing the lubricant – generally, every 3,000 miles or three to six months.

Check the oil level with the engine off and the car parked on a level surface. Open the hood, remove the dipstick, wipe it clean with a cloth or paper towel, then return it to the oil reservoir. Take it out again and see whether the level is within the acceptable range marked on the dipstick. If you add oil, don’t overfill, which can damage the engine.

Car Maintenance Tip of the Week

Headlights and brake lights

With your car turned on and parked, have someone walk around to see that your lights are working – headlights, brake and tail lights, turn signals, etc.

Replacing bulbs in today’s vehicles can be a challenge. Have a mechanic do the job, particularly replacing and aiming headlights. A pro also knows if the problem is a blown fuse, not a burned out bulb.

Nissan Presents the Future:Today

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

In keeping with its commitment to innovation, Nissan is launching a pioneering exhibition in celebration of its award-winning LEAF electric vehicle. Called FUTURE:TODAY, the interactive exhibition will showcase the work of some of the biggest names from the worlds of arts, design, architecture, technology and engineering.

FUTURE:TODAY will be housed in an innovative structure located at Stockholm's iconic Norrmalmstorg. Designed by internationally renowned architects Jump Studios (Google Campus, Red Bull HQ), the exterior walls form a stunning, color-intense LED light sculpture conceived by London-based design studio Hellicar & Lewis (previous work includes projects commissioned for London's Tate Modern gallery and Coca-Cola). The interactive walls will track the movements of passers-by, intelligently changing color and intensity to create a mesmerizing, ever-evolving piece of art.

The exhibition is a fully immersive experience, which will provide a rare glimpse into what the future could look like. Over two floors, visitors to the exhibition will be able to interact with content created by high profile partners including TEDxCity2.0, light artist Chris Levine (whose work has been exhibited in New York's Museum of Modern Art and London's National Portrait Gallery), Masdar City in the UAE and Nissan itself, giving the residents of Stockholm a rare insight into their home city. Nissan's contribution will focus on future innovation - showcasing its game-changing zero-emission Nissan LEAF.

The Future:Today exhibition takes place at Norrmalmstorg, Norrmalm, Stockholm from November 8-14. Opportunities to interview Chris Levine, Hellicar & Lewis and Jump Studios are available.

Notes to editors:

The FUTURE:TODAY exhibition will consist of 7 key areas:

1. Your City of the Future - insights into your city today and bringing to life ideas on how we will live, play and move in the future.

2. Global Cities of the Future - showcasing expert ideas on creating future cities and communities - with a focus on sustainable design and technology. In conjunction with MASDAR, FUTURE:TODAY also showcases a city of the future being built today.

3. Touch screen interface - find out more about the LEAF's specifications, search for a dealer, request more information, reserve an extended test drive and book a Nissan LEAF shuttle to take you to your next destination.

4. A floor-to-ceiling LED wall featuring:

• Motorshow videos
• TED talks
• Product presentations
• In-car videos from LEAFs out on test drives

5. Ideas of the Future - in conjunction with TED's City 2.0, six projects will be showcased along with four winning ideas from this year's TED Prize. Visitors will be asked to vote for their favorite idea, directly contributing to the city of tomorrow.

6. The Tank - a cutting edge light and audio installation designed by Oxford-based artist Chris Levine.

7. Outdoor activity - LEAF test drives.

Nissan's Air-Leak Detection Squad Saves Energy, Money, and Helps the Environment

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Nissan's manufacturing facilities in North America are making major changes to reduce the amount of energy they use. They have committed to reduce their overall energy consumption by 25 percent in ten years. It is a move meant to help the environment.

So how is the company reducing their carbon footprint? They have deployed an air-leak detection squad of sorts. These are employees at each plant whose only job is to find and fix wasted compressed air. That is one of the greatest forms of wasted energy at the plants, even above electricity.

"In fact, it is one of our most costly utilities. We have nine large compressors that supply us with compressed air here at our plant in Smyrna," said Jason Watkins, Nissan safety coordinator.

Compressed air keeps the presses running in stamping. It's used to apply paint and also powers various tools used in the manufacturing process. There literally are miles of hose throughout the plant that carry compressed air to thousands of devices. And along the way air leaks often occur, which can result in as much as twenty to thirty percent of leaked compressed air.

The team's key weapon in this fight is an air-leak detection tool. The device is essentially a high powered microphone that senses and transforms inaudible sounds from compressed air leaks into ones an operator can hear with headphones, and read in decibel levels. Smyrna just expanded their air leak detection program to their Trim and Chassis department. And at this rate they'll keep expanding in the name of energy efficiency.

"When this tool is used effectively it could help us achieve that 25 percent reduction within 10 years," said Watkins. "Now we are looking at communicating with our truck system and getting it used there as well."

According to Nissan, since they started this compressed air leak repair program in North America last year, their plants have located and repaired more than 3,500 air leaks. The savings of compressed air was equivalent to about 8,000 tons of CO2 emissions spared.

The Nissan Sentra CVT: Improving your driving experience by leaps and bounds

Nissan releases first Global Brand Campaign TVC [60 secs]

Car Maintenance Tip of the Week

Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition.The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded.

Comfort Zone: Seat Technology Aims to Cut Fatigue

Nissan is developing "fatigue-free seats" to cut driver and passenger fatigue and make long periods of driving a pleasant experience.

Research and analysis on the human body and cars led to the "neutral posture", which humans take on in a weightless environment.

The "Comfortable seat with spinal support" has been developed utilizing ergonomic technology.

The first challenge in development was how to maintain the neutral posture achieved in a weightless environment on the seat. Through a joint research program with Yamazaki Laboratory at Keio University, using a seat simulator and a musculo-skeletal model for seating analysis, Nissan reduced loads to the smallest amount on each muscular and spinal area from the seated position.

Nissan used control of the distribution of local deformation characteristics around the seat back in its initial shape to help realize optimal support. The "Neutral Posture Concept" provides continuous support from the pelvis to the chest, working to reduce muscular and spinal loads and improve blood flow, thereby reducing fatigue over long periods.

Tune-Up Anachronism
There are no more "tune-ups." Valves no longer need adjusting, ignition timing is computer controlled and there are no carburetors to fiddle with. About all that's left of the old tune-up drill are the spark plugs. These are often good for 100,000 miles, so don't change parts just to change parts. Instead, save up for those big 60,000- and 120,000-mile services when the timing belt, spark plug wires and coolant are due for replacement.

Nissan Launches Reinvented 2013 Pathfinder – More Style, Comfort, Room, Innovation and Best-in-Class Fuel Economy

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

The original Nissan Pathfinder, introduced more than a quarter century ago, set the bar high for the generations that followed. Known as the perfect family adventure vehicle, each successive Pathfinder design has remained true to that original premise while evolving to meet the changing needs of its owners. Now, with the introduction of the all-new 4th generation, not only does Pathfinder provide capability with comfortable seating for seven, intuitive 4WD and 5000-pound standard towing capacity, but it resets the standard for the segment with an unprecedented level of premium style, comfort, fuel economy and thoughtful technology.

True to Nissan’s philosophy of staying ahead of the competition, the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder offers a long list of both best-in-class and unique-to-class specifications and features, including:

• Best-in-class fuel economy*
• Best-in-class interior passenger volume**
• Best-in-class front headroom and front legroom**
• Most standard towing capacity in class**
• Class-exclusive selectable 2WD, Auto and 4WD Lock modes**
• Class-exclusive Xtronic CVT® transmission**
• Class-exclusive 3rd row seat recline**
• Class-exclusive Around View™ Monitor***
• Class-exclusive Easy Fill Tire Alert System**

The new Pathfinder also addresses the "innovation that excites" needs of today’s drivers, with levels of responsive acceleration, braking, handling and ride comfort expected of a Nissan product.

"Our goal, which we’ve achieved, was to be the best not just on paper but in the real world. We focused our efforts on leadership in the areas that family SUV owners want most, such as Around View™ Monitor and Easy Fill Tire Alert," said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc.

Class-Leading Capability and MPG
Addressing buyers’ desire for more efficiency in every aspect of their lives, the all-new 2013 Pathfinder utilizes a refined new drivetrain featuring a 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine mated to a next-generation Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) to help provide a 30 percent**** increase in combined City/Highway fuel economy (over the previous V6-equipped model). Fuel economy is rated at 26 mpg Highway / 20 mpg City and 22 mpg Combined for the 2WD model and 25 mpg Highway / 19 mpg City and 21 mpg Combined for the 4WD model.

The new engine and CVT combination maintains nearly the same horsepower as the previous generation’s larger displacement 4.0-liter V6 – 260 horsepower versus the previous 266 – and delivers responsive acceleration in a variety of conditions. The CVT holds the engine at the ideal rpm for the conditions at hand, offering responsive power for passing or towing when needed and quiet efficient running at cruising speeds or around town.

With the available intuitive four-wheel drive, Pathfinder continues to serve as an excellent vehicle for inclement weather driving conditions. Pathfinder is the only vehicle in class with selectable 2WD, Auto or 4WD Lock modes for its available intuitive ALL-MODE 4x4-i system. The system lets the driver choose full-time 2WD for maximum fuel economy, Auto mode to automatically monitor conditions and adjust the balance of power between front and rear wheels for best traction, or 4WD Lock mode when the confidence of full-time 4WD is desired. In addition, standard Hill Start Assist helps add control when starting and driving away on a steep incline (both 4WD and 2WD models).

With best-in-class standard 5,000-pound towing capacity, the new Pathfinder also retains its ability to tow boats, jet skis, trailers and a variety of other recreational gear.

"When it comes to supporting family adventures, the Pathfinder’s rugged heritage comes through – allowing the driver to select the 4WD mode when desired, as well as offering an Auto mode or 2WD," said Castignetti. "And the combination of best-in-class fuel economy and standard towing capacity, comfortable seven-passenger seating and best-in-class passenger volume makes this a vehicle worthy of the Pathfinder name."

In one other important measurement, the new generation Pathfinder weighs as much as 500 pounds less than the previous body-on-frame design. This helps contribute to the enhanced fuel economy performance, as does the use of front and rear spoilers, rear tire deflectors and rear suspension fairings to help achieve one of the best aerodynamic performances in the segment.  The 2013 Pathfinder’s 0.34 coefficient of drag is a 13 percent improvement over that of the outgoing model.

Next-Generation Styling
Along with reduced weight, Pathfinder’s new unibody platform provided the designers an opportunity to create the more aerodynamic exterior without compromising headroom or cargo capacity. Moving upscale in appearance, the new exterior styling presents a smart fusion of signature Nissan styling cues and dynamic strength. The look is adventure-ready with wheel-oriented muscular fenders and a strong, stable stance. The upper body features an open cabin with a low beltline and thin A- and D-pillars, which flow smoothly into the rugged, durable-looking lower body.

Other exterior details include a wide chrome grille and large aerodynamic headlights, recessed front windshield wipers, chrome door handles and large rear combination lights. An available Dual Panorama Moonroof, with sliding opening front panel and fixed rear glass panel which extends over the 2nd and 3rd rows, combines with the large windows to create an open, airy interior environment.

"With its new aerodynamically optimized shape, the styling is a major step forward in the evolution of the SUV – retaining its people- and cargo-hauling utility without looking quite so utilitarian," said Castignetti. "As a true Next-Gen SUV, it’s fitting that a vehicle that tackles adventures in a whole new way completely looks the part."

A Mid-Size SUV with Full-Size Comfort
The new Pathfinder is a right-sized, 3-row/7-passenger SUV with the seating and cargo capacity that growing families need, offering the benefits of a modern crossover with the comfort of a larger SUV.  Use of the unibody platform provides numerous benefits, including a flat floor for enhanced interior packaging flexibility and more space. Overall interior roominess has been increased by 8.4 cubic feet versus the 2012 Pathfinder design.

"The new Pathfinder demonstrates that when it comes to modern interior design, you can have it all – SUV capability, roominess, premium features, versatility and user-friendly technology," said Castignetti. "By giving equal priority to both the driver and each and every passenger – including those in the 3rd row – we’ve created a premium driving experience and environment for all."

Pathfinder’s quiet, comfortable interior includes a wide range of available features, including three rows of rich leather-appointed seating surfaces, heated and cooled front seats, heated 2nd row seats, heated steering wheel, power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Start, multiple user memory settings and an advanced Bose® Audio System with 13 speakers.

The Pathfinder’s unique versatility comes to life in the design of the 2nd and 3rd rows with exceptional 3rd row access – thanks to large rear door openings and the EZ Flex™ Seating System with 5.5 inches of 2nd row seat travel for ease of entry and exit to the 3rd row. The 60/40-split 2nd row features innovative LATCH AND GLIDE™ technology that allows forward movement and access to the 3rdrow with a child safety seat remaining securely in place (on the passenger curb side).

"One of the dilemmas facing families with both young children and infants/toddlers is getting the older kids into the 3rd row without having to remove a child safety seat mounted in the 2nd row. This innovative design solves that issue," explained Castignetti. "Plus, with the extensive 2nd row seat travel, it’s easy to adjust legroom or accommodate cargo spontaneously as needed."

The 3rd row seat is a 50/50 split-folding design, offering added cargo flexibility, and it also reclines for greater passenger comfort – a feature not offered with other SUVs in class. Both the 2nd and 3rd row seats fold flat for optimal cargo capacity and there is additional under floor storage in the rear cargo area.

Thoughtful, Advanced Technology
Thoughtful technology is also found throughout the Pathfinder interior, starting with the instrument panel, which includes the Advanced Drive-Assist™ Display in the center of the instrument cluster right in front of the driver. The instrument panel also includes a large multifunction center IT display, available Nissan Navigation System with NavTraffic real-time traffic and NavWeather weather information (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately), Zagat Survey® restaurant guide, Streaming Audio via Bluetooth® and RearView Monitor.

The new Pathfinder also features Nissan’s advanced, class-exclusive Around View™ Monitor, which provides the driver a virtual 360-degree image of the area around the vehicle.  Other technology includes Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, power rear liftgate, iPod® integration and tri-zone entertainment system with 2nd row head restraint-mounted DVD display screens.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is available with individual tire pressure display and class-exclusive Easy Fill Tire Alert that provides both visual and audible signals to help owners conveniently maintain correct tire pressures without the use of a gauge. Available remote engine start function allows the climate control system to warm up or cool down the interior prior to driving.

"The new Pathfinder carries on the tradition of the previous generations of adventure-ready Pathfinders that have come before – offering a new level of family enjoyment and engagement that is just right for today’s real-world, everyday uses," concluded Castignetti. "After more than 25 years, Nissan is ready to tackle new terrain and the new challenges of modern family lives with the Next-Gen SUV, the 2013 Pathfinder."

Car Maintenance Tip of the Week

Oil Change Timing
Oil changes every 3,000 miles used to be required jobs, just like cleaning the accumulated fuzz from record player needles or defrosting freezers. Today, advances in engine design and lubricants make oil changes something to be done when the schedule calls for it, not when granddad says it's time. Some cars call for 5,000-mile change intervals, some up to 15,000-mile stints. Others have a variable timer. Follow the schedule and use the oil called for by the manufacturer.

Nissan's commitment to innovation and the desire to introduce new technology is a strategy that clearly appeals to buyers. Following its best ever sales year in 2011 - up 25 percent in 2010 - Nissan is on course for yet another highly successful year in 2012.

With continued growth in Europe in the face of very challenging trading conditions, Nissan's performance highlights the strength and appeal of its current product range. Sales to the end of July show an increase of 5 percent year-on-year with huge investment being made to expand its industrial footprint even further in the UK, Spain and Russia.

TeRRA concept car
Taking center stage and making its global debut at Paris is the rugged TeRRA concept car. The dramatically designed four-seater takes the philosophy of Zero Emissions mobility and extends it into an exciting new domain. Powered by hydrogen fuel cell, TeRRA offers four-wheel-drive capability and proves that Zero Emissions vehicles aren't just for the urban environment. Nissan is already the market leader in the zero emissions field, with the all-electric Leaf continuing to lead the way thanks to its innovative design and engineering.

Through the use of in wheel motor technology, TeRRA is free of the packaging constraints that affect conventional SUVs. With no central transmission tunnel, the seating gives all four passengers a broad and unique view out of the vehicle. In addition, TeRRA introduces bold new surfacing materials and removable, portable technology for the driver display and infotainment systems.

Juke NISMO
An exciting new era in Nissan performance motoring starts at the Paris Motor Show with the official launch of the NISMO road car program. Designed and developed by Nissan's NISMO division in Japan, the range of affordable yet highly advanced performance cars is spearheaded by the new Juke NISMO.

Powered by a modified version of the acclaimed 1.6-liter direct injection turbocharged petrol engine that drives the DIG-T model, the Juke NISMO features a bespoke aerodynamics package and a revised chassis design to deliver an even more engaging driving experience.

Juke with Ministry of Sound
Celebrating its ongoing partnership with the London-based clubbing and electronic dance music authority Ministry of Sound, the Juke with Ministry of Sound is a limited edition model that features a number of premium design enhancements and special features.

Available with any engine and transmission in the current range, the Juke with Ministry of Sound is finished in either Metallic Black or Solid White, and comes with a bespoke design package and a Ministry of Sound Music Pack that comprises an Apple iPod touch* complete with Scratch Shield case, Ministry of Sound headphones and a VIP voucher for the Ministry of Sound music store.

Making an equally dramatic impact on the Nissan stand in Paris is the Juke Box - a specially commissioned pair of Juke fitted with what has been dubbed the 'world's ultimate mobile sound system'. Built by the same audio team that created the famous 'Box room' at the Ministry of Sound nightclub in London, it has become the main attraction at Nissan's high-profile Juke Box Sessions held throughout Europe.

Qashqai 360
Groundbreaking design and advanced technology are just two of the attributes which have made the Qashqai the sector-defining sales hit it is. The new Qashqai 360 demonstrates Nissan's commitment to bringing premium features to the mass crossover market.

Available across Qashqai and Qashqai+2 ranges, the 360 can be specified with all engine and drivetrain combinations - including the new 1.6-liter dCi with CO2 emissions from 119g/km.

Qashqai 360 includes a number of premium design features and is fitted with Nissan's innovative Around View Monitor (AVM) as standard.

PIVO 3
Making its European debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, PIVO 3 showcases a range of new and exciting technologies that provide an exciting vision of what the future holds for urban mobility.

The innovative zero emissions concept builds on the strengths of its predecessors, and adds more real-world features, such as Automated Valet Parking (AVP) and Robotic Agent Interface (RAI) - a system that integrates the vehicle's key technologies into one interface.

PIVO 3 also has the facility to feed stored power back to the local electricity grid. This clever technology, when employed on a larger scale with other EVs, has the potential to balance electric power demand and supply.

Micra ELLE
Combining stylish design with intelligent technology and spirited attitude, the Micra ELLE has been developed with a well-suited partner: world-famous fashion magazine, ELLE.

It showcases many of Nissan's innovations, including Intelligent Key for keyless entry, and offers a luxurious feel thanks to its panoramic glass roof and chrome details.

Micra ELLE also introduces two new colors to the Micra range and is available with two engine options: a 1.2-litre normally aspirated three-cylinder engine, and a sophisticated 1.2-liter supercharged DIG-S engine that develops 98PS.

NV200 London Taxi and NV200 New York City Taxi
Making their first appearance at a European motor show, the new NV200 London Taxi and NV200 New York City Taxis confirm Nissan's growing presence in the private hire sector. Launched in August, the NV200 London Taxi has been completely re-engineered to meet the strict requirements of London's licensing authorities. Proving the strength and adaptability of the NV200 platform, the London Taxi variant features a large five-seat passenger area, variable seating layout and twin sliding doors for easy access. In addition, the NV200 London Taxi also features a bespoke steering set-up that allows the vehicle to meet the required turning circle maximum of 7.6 meters.

The NV200 New York City Taxi further demonstrates the practicality of the NV200 design. Having won the right to be named New York's 'Taxi of the future' after a two-year bid selection process, the distinctive yellow NV200s will be hitting New York streets at the end of 2013.

Revised 370Z Coupe and Roadster
With updated exterior and interior styling, new color options and wheel design, the 2013-specification 370Z Coupe and Roadster makes its debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Confirming its reputation as one of the most exciting and best value sports in the sector, the new 370Z features a host of detail improvements, including a new front bumper incorporating LED daytime running lights.

Nissan Sentra Wins Best in Class Combined Fuel Economy and More

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Nissan's march toward 8 percent market share advanced last weekend in Dallas, Texas. That's where media and fans got a first look at the all-new 2013 Nissan Sentra.

This is the third of five new vehicles that Nissan said it would deliver during a 15 month period. The Sentra continues the best-in-class fuel efficiency drumbeat heard from Nissan recently. The car gets a best-in-class 34 MPG* for combined highway and city driving.

The 2013 Sentra is completely changed. Outside, there are improved proportions. The car is more than 150 pounds leaner. The company's engineers made changes inside to create more room in the car and in the trunk. The new Sentra has one of the largest interiors and rear-seat leg room. It's equipped with class-above technology and has new styling more similar to an Altima.

"The 2013 Nissan Sentra is the most revolutionary design in the nameplate's 30-year history, a worthy addition to what is without question the most innovative, highest quality, highest value sedan lineup in Nissan history," said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc.

The other drumbeat heard last weekend came from bands celebrating the start of U.S. college football during the Alabama versus Michigan game. Nissan, and the all-new Sentra, had a major presence at the event. The company has a partnership with the Heisman Trophy Trust that runs through 2016.

This new 2013 Nissan Sentra will be at U.S., Mexico and Canada dealerships in October.

Nissan Future Designs Influenced by 2013 Altima, Hi-Cross Concept

Though Nissan has relied on CVTs to bring its green quotient up, the Japanese automaker is also counting on design to get its cars sipping less fuel, focusing primarily on cutting vehicle weight, improving aerodynamics, and reducing engine and transmission friction. Along with expected debut dates for each Nissan car, take a look at the automaker’s potential future below.

Nissan Cars

Godzilla may produce offspring, as the report says Nissan is planning an “undetermined” number of GT-R variations to arrive sometime between 2014 and 2016. Before that happens, though, Nissan’s next 370Z will arrive in 2014 as a 2015 model, with a leaner body, and perhaps a smaller front-drive sibling dubbed the Mini Z. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the affordable Versa hatchback will arrive next spring as a 2013 model with bolder and sportier styling, including a more angular front end and more sharply raked roofline at the rear.

The Maxima will see changes similar to those made to the 2013 Altima, which is lighter and more fuel-efficient than its predecessor. Expect to see the redesigned Maxima in 2014 or 2015. Those who have been waiting for the Nissan Leaf to drop in price may be in luck, as the price will be changed for the better as a result of moving production from Japan to Smyrna, Tennessee. Instead of a redesign, the main focus for the Leaf is extending battery range so green-conscious shoppers can have more confidence in an all-electric car without having to suffer from range anxiety.

Nissan Trucks/SUVs

Just like how families’ needs have changed, so has the Pathfinder. With about two more months to go until it arrives in showrooms, the Pathfinder has softened up its appearance while still maintaining its off-road prowess. Ditching the body-on-frame construction for a unibody structure will help it achieve better fuel economy, with estimates reaching for 20/26 mpg city/highway. Its 3.5-liter V-6 replaces the outgoing SUV’s 4.0-liter, with which it will be paired with an updated CVT. Changes for Nissan’s smaller off-roader, the X-Terra, won’t be as drastic, with a reskin scheduled for 2014. Don’t expect major changes for the Juke either, though a refresh is set for 2014, and the hot-rodded Juke-R continues limited production on a built-to-order basis.

The popular-selling Rogue already has a winning formula, but Nissan hopes to improve it by incorporating styling cues found on the Hi-Cross concept, which debuted at the Geneva show earlier this year, in the new car’s design. Though powertrain specifics haven’t been revealed, it’s possible the revised crossover will use something similar to the concept’s hybrid drivetrain coupled to a direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine when it debuts in 2014. The third-generation Murano, on the other hand, will arrive one year later in 2015. New sheetmetal is in store for the Frontier, which is scheduled to arrive in 2014. The new skin, designed with aerodynamics in mind, will help it achieve more mpgs, while production moves to Canton, Mississippi.

As for full-size Titan pickup and Armada SUV, both are on the same schedule, though it’s unclear when we’ll see the new versions. The Titan’s redesign, scheduled for 2014, is being dragged out as a result of the strain put on engineering resources by the 2011 Japan earthquake. Automotive News reports Nissan is considering offering different variations of the full-size truck, including a regular cab body style. That would be a first for Nissan, and offering the truck with a smaller-displacement engine option along the lines of the F-150 EcoBoost is also a possibility.

2013 Nissan GT-R Black Edition Hot Lap! - 2012 Best Driver's Car

2013 Nissan Leaf will go 25% further, could cost a lot less

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Months ago, we heard that the U.S. version of the 2013 Nissan Leaf would go farther per charge in cold weather thanks to a better heater. This was about the Leaf that will be made in Smyrna, Tennessee starting later this year. A new report on Inside EVs (based on the Japanese language Sankei Biz site) says that the new Leaf, at least the version destined for sale in Japan, will have its range extended to over 250 kilometers (155 miles) in any weather.

Of course, since that is on the lenient Japanese test cycle, it doesn't mean that U.S. drivers will get double their range (the Leaf is rated at 73 miles by the EPA). Instead, the new Leaf should get a range improvement of around 25 percent, which would translate to around 91 miles of EPA range, thanks to more efficient motors and better batteries.

More interesting – since we expect incremental improvements with each generation of vehicles, especially when EVs are concerned – is that Nissan is also considering an entry-level Leaf for release by the end of the year. If Sankei Biz is correct, this model would start at 2.5 million yen ($31,500 USD at today's exchange rates) compared to the current version's starting price of 3.7 million yen ($46,600). Inside EVs notes that, "A similar price reduction in North America would price this new base Nissan LEAF at $26,600." Sankei Biz says the updates are coming a year earlier than planned in order to boost sales. A before-incentive price of $26,600 would certainly do that, wouldn't it?

We've asked Nissan for any sort of confirmation or denial of these reports and will update once we hear something.
