The Nissan Frontier will finally head into a new generation
Monday, September 18th, 2017
Third-generation Nissan Frontier announced
It used to be that vehicles would go years and years between new generations and refreshes, simply because it’s an expensive undertaking for an automaker. These days, we expect to see a refresh after two or three years, and a complete redesign after five or six. Which is what makes the Nissan Frontier so odd. The current model is in its second generation, which started in 2005. That’s right, 12 years ago. Other markets, where the model is known as the Navara, saw an update in 2014. Finally, a third-generation Nissan Frontier should be heading to the U.S. (more…)

Nissan Die Hard Fan App on Facebook
Perhaps one of the silliest and most lighthearted things to come out of our social media-focused world are apps that alter are faces right in camera. Spend any time on Instagram, SnapChat or Facebook and you’re bound to see at least one altered face among your friends. It’s imaginative and frequently funny. For college football fans, Nissan first launched the Die Hard Fan App in 2015, but now the features are available on Facebook. (more…)

2018 Nissan Leaf Range and New Features
In many ways, the EV market is experiencing a slow takeoff. Part of this is because people aren’t quick to become first adapters, but a main reason is that the charging infrastructure isn’t well-formed in many locations. This may change with more and more models coming in to offer competition against the already popular Nissan Leaf. With so many new options hitting the market, is the range for the 2018 Nissan Leaf going to be enough? We look at this improvement, along with its refreshed style and new features. (more…)

What’s the difference between timing belts and chains?
Friday, August 25th, 2017

If you fall into the latter category, you likely have learned more than you’d ever wanted to due to repairs. Those who are deeply invested usually find themselves asking if models like the 2017 Nissan Sentra have a timing belt or chain because it can influence performance. (more…)

Midnight Edition 2018 Nissan Frontier and Nissan Titan
Why did chrome rims and trim accents ever become the norm? For those who have long expressed their dislike for the contrast, the Midnight Edition trims are a welcome addition to the Nissan lineup. But the rollout is too slow for those who have been seeking a new pickup truck. Until now.

Modern cars have connectivity on the go, but does Nissan offer it?

Does the 2017 Nissan Armada have WiFi?
Nothing seems to drain your phone battery quite so fast as relying exclusively on LTE coverage. These days, many of us use our phones for navigation, music and podcasts. All of which we reasonably enjoy using for road trips or day-to-day commuting. This isn’t even mentioning the fact that so many phone companies have strict data limits. Even the so-called unlimited plans typically drop your speed after so much usage. It’s true the 2017 Nissan Armada comes standard with features like Bluetooth with audio streaming and navigation, both of which will help you conserve some juice on the road, but what about passengers? This is where WiFi comes in. (more…)
