The 2018 Nissan Maxima S is a luxury car and a sports car wrapped up in one sleek package. Offering roomy seating, luxurious interior, and high-end performance, this car is ready to take you to work and on a vacation.

Performance

The new Nissan Maxima is the four-door sports car. This vehicle offers you a choice of Normal Drive Mode or Sport Drive Mode. If you want a smooth ride experience, switch to Normal Drive Mode. If you feel adventurous, switch to Sport Drive Mode, and experience quicker shift points and response.

Comfort

The Nissan Maxima’s interior is available in an Italian-made quilted Alcantara insert. This plush interior is comfortable as well as stylish.

Legroom is plentiful in this luxury car. Whether you’re driving or sitting in the back, you have plenty of space without constantly hitting the seat in front of you with your knees. Stretch out as much as you need for your daily commute or long trips.

Safety

The Forward Collision Warning system can monitor up to two vehicles in front of yours. This system monitors your speed and distance from other vehicles and then warns you if you need to slow down. The brakes will automatically engage to keep a collision from occurring. The Maxima also comes with a blind spot warning system, alerting you to vehicles approaching.

The 2018 Nissan Maxima S has plenty to offer drivers, whether you need a reliable vehicle for your family or a fun vehicle for a weekend mini-vacation.

The 2019 Nissan Altima has revived the American sedan image with its new sleek style and updated technology. As the first Nissan to offer all-wheel drive, this car is equipped to keep you safe and comfortable.

New Technology

The 2019 Nissan Altima features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities. Using the 8-inch touch screen, Android Auto displays apps and includes route selection and weather reports. Apple CarPlay gives you additional access to music and your contacts. Amazon Alexa connectivity is also available and allows you to unlock doors, flash lights, and remote start.

The new Altima also features an Intelligent Climate Control system that responds to outside temperature by adjusting the interior to warm or cool.

All-Wheel Drive

This year’s model is the first to feature all-wheel drive (AWD).  This technology is called Intelligent AWD and is available as an option with the 2.5-liter engine. This system monitors road conditions and automatically adjusts accordingly. All power can be sent to the front wheels or can be split between the front and rear wheels.

Safety

The Nissan Altima is set up for safety with Nissan Intelligent Mobility. ProPILOT Assist allows you to keep a certain distance from the vehicles in front of you and keeps pace, stopping and starting when necessary. This feature also keeps you between the lines when driving in curves.

Many more features are available, but the only way to truly experience the new generation of Nissan Altima is to go in to your local dealer for a test drive.

In 2018, Nissan is releasing a new vehicle into the market. The Nissan Kicks takes up where the Nissan Juke left off and gives you a variety of other features that can make driving more exciting. Here is a look at the three most exciting features of the 2018 Nissan Kicks.

1. Speakers in the Headrest

If you want to get a better sound experience out of your car, then you should check out the 2018 Nissan Kicks’ available Bose Headrest speaker. Speakers are in the driver’s headrest so that you can get the best surround sound experience possible.

2. Remote Engine Start

If you live in a cold environment, then you could benefit from a car that you can heat up early without having to go outside. The Nissan Kicks has an available remote start system, which makes it possible to start your car from a distance. On the days where it is too cold to venture outside, you can start to heat up your car for your drive to work while staying warm in your house.

3. Interior Space

One of the most notable advantages that the Kicks has over the Juke is its increased interior space. This includes an expanded cabin so that you have more leg room. The storage compartment is also bigger. The extra space makes the Kicks more comfortable and useful in different situations.

To learn more about the other features that the 2018 Nissan Kicks has to offer, you can visit Destination Nissan. The experts can get you ready for the sales launch of the Kicks in June.

If you’ve ever had your engine overheat, you know it’s a scary thing. Your temperature gauge veers into the red, smoke comes out of your hood, your car stops, and you’ve got a literal hot mess on your hands. Here’s how to fix some of the common causes of your engine overheating.

1. Your thermostat might be broken. The thermostat both tracks the temperature of your engine and regulates it by restricting coolant from going through the engine block of your car before it’s heated up sufficiently. If the thermostat is broken, it won’t open up and therefore coolant won’t be able to reach your engine, causing it to overheat.
2. The coolant hosing is degraded. After driving your car a lot, the hoses that carry the coolant, which are usually made out of not-so-high-quality plastic, can get corroded or caked with grime, which can lead to the coolant not making it through the hosing efficiently, or at all.
3. You’re out of oil. If your car is out of oil, you’ve got a problem. Oil lubricates and even helps cool your engine, so if you’re out of oil your engine could also possibly weld itself together, which can lead to it seizing. You really don’t want this, so make sure that your oil level is good. You should be checking your oil at least once a month anyway – so if you aren’t doing that… start doing it!
4. Air in your cooling system. Sometimes air can get into your cooling system, even though it’s a closed system. If you get enough air in the system, it can block the flow of coolant and cause your car to overheat. The simple fix for this is to test your coolant and, yes, you might have to flush it. If you’re looking at your coolant, make sure your engine is cold – as in, you haven’t run your car for a couple hours beforehand.

If your engine does overheat, you’ll want to stop driving it as soon as possible and take it to a shop or your dealer. They will be able to tell you exactly what’s going on in your engine and help you get it fixed as soon as possible. If you’re ever unsure about what you should be doing with your engine, don’t try to wing it! Your dealer will be the best source of information about how to care for your vehicle’s engine.
