Forget how to drive? Nissan tech can lend a helping hand
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After weeks in quarantine, U.S residents are venturing out as stay-at-home restrictions loosen. While U.S. drivers get reacquainted with the road, Nissan encourages them to utilize their vehicle's advanced safety features.
Many of Nissan's intelligent technologies are designed to help drivers operate more safely on roads and highways.
"Nissan has integrated intelligent driver-assist technologies such as Nissan's ProPILOT Assist, Intelligent Cruise Control, Blind Spot Warning, High Beam Assist, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ and Traffic Sign Recognition that can help drivers avoid common mistakes and improve road safety," said Chris Reed, senior vice president, Research and Development, Nissan Technical Center North America. "You use a lot of reflex memory when you operate a vehicle so if you have been off the roads for a while, now is a good time to understand how these features can truly improve the overall driving experience."
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI), technologies similar to Nissan's Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection1 have been found to reduce crashes. Technologies included in Nissan's Safety Shield 3602, a suite of six advanced active safety and driver-assist technologies, are also showing real-world benefits.
- Heading to another birthday parade? Re-familiarize yourself with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, which can provide audio and visual alerts and even apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate collisions. Nissan's Rear Automatic Braking4 helps the driver detect stationary objects when backing up and, if necessary, can apply the brakes to help avoid a collision. Both technologies are part of Nissan Safety Shield 360.
- Pulling out of a curbside pickup spot? When backing out of a parking space, Rear Cross Traffic Alert5 makes it easy by watching the area around the rear of the vehicle and can warn you about detected approaching vehicles you might not see.
- Forgetting the speed limit? Traffic Sign Recognition keeps you up to date with the latest speed limit by detecting road signs as you go.
- Unintended lane drifting? Nissan Safety Shield 360 technologies can alert drivers if they begin to drift from their lane or if another vehicle is in their blind spot areas thanks to Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning systems. The ProPILOT Assist system combines Nissan's Intelligent Cruise Control9 and Steering Assist technologies to maintain a gap with the car in front of you at a preset distance and to help keep the vehicle centered during single-lane highway driving, even on slight curves.
- Glued to your smartphone? Put the cell phone down when you're behind the wheel and rely on the intelligent connectivity tools such as NissanConnect® with Navigation and Services, featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, for directions, phone calls and messaging.
About Nissan ProPILOT Assist8
Nissan's ProPILOT Assist is a hands-on driving assistant designed to help drivers during long highway trips and the stop and go traffic of your daily commute. Using a front radar sensor and a front-facing camera located behind the rear-view mirror, it can maintain a gap with the car in front of you at a preset distance and help to keep the vehicle centered during single-lane driving, even on slight curves. The ProPILOT Assist system combines Nissan's Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist technologies and includes a stop and hold function that can bring the vehicle to a full stop, hold in place, and can bring you back up to speed when traffic starts moving again.
The ProPILOT Assist system represents the first generation of advanced driver assistance features in Nissan vehicles. The next generation of Nissan's Assistance technology will support steering, braking, and accelerating during multi-lane driving.

A new generation of Nissan's Z car is coming!
The automotive industry moves in cycles as styles of vehicles move in and out of fashion. Perhaps as a reaction to the car becoming more and more homogenized into appliances, we're currently seeing sports cars come back into the limelight. In 2019 we saw two big names hit hard, with the all-new Toyota Supra being launched as well as the mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette. Now we've learned that Nissan is bringing out a new Z car, and not before time. The current Nissan 370Z is over 10 years old, and while we still love to drive it, it is overdue it's retirement. The new Z car will be the 7th generation in an iconic line that stretches back to the Nissan Fairlady Z from 1969. The next generation is expected to be called the 400Z, and here's everything we have been able to glean about it so far.
Styling: Traditional With A Modern Slant
The only real look we've had so far at the new Z car is a silhouette teaser from Nissan, but it gives some details. A short deck and overhang at the back carries on where the 370Z leaves off, but it looks like the hood will be longer to accommodate a larger engine. The "double halo" LED headlights are a styling cue harking back to the iconic 270Z, so expect a more retro-inspired design paying homage to previous Z cars. In the meantime, the renderers have already got to work trying to figure out what the finished product will look like. According to the rumor mill, the rectangular grill rather than Nissan's V-Motion grille on the front of the render below is in the right ballpark.
Engine: More Power Baby!
The current expectation is that the new Z car will share its platform and powertrain with Infiniti's Q60 Coupe. That means we're expecting to see a twin-turbo V6 engine, which will need that long hood to cover the extra equipment and plumbing. The Q60's engine generates 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque for 2020, while the current 370Z's naturally aspirated V6 makes 332 horsepower with 270 lb-ft of torque.
However, the rumor mill suggests the 400Z will live up to its name with 400 hp on tap. That could mean that Nissan will go straight for the 400 hp version of the twin-turbo V6 that is currently only available in the Red Sport badged Q50 and Q60 models. However, don't rule out the possibility of Nissan bringing out a powerful version of its VC-Turbo (Variable Compression-Turbocharged engine).
Chassis: Stiffer, Tighter, Stronger
The new Z car will be built around a "heavily updated" version of the FM platform currently underpinning the 370Z, Infiniti Q50, and Infiniti Q60. We still love to drive the 370Z, so the idea of a whole new geometry and suspension components on an improved chassis is tantalizing. Available upgrades through packages are also expected, including adjustable suspension, upgraded steering, and a limited-slip differential.
It does appear at this point that the 400Z is going to be a heavily reworked and restyled version of the Q60. That doesn't mean people should cool their jets on the excitement front, though. With NISMO's involvement and the twin-turbo V6 in the bag, there's a huge opportunity for Nissan to strike gold here.
Transmission: Auto And Manual Options
Transmission: Auto And Manual Options
The Q60 only comes with an automatic transmission, so that's the likely candidate, but we're sure Nissan will have enough sense to make sure there's a manual option available. The word Nismo has been associated with the development of the 400Z, particularly when it comes to the automatic transmission. This is good news as the Q70's seven-speed auto is on the sluggish side off the line and not well matched to the larger engine.
However, while we're hopeful there will be a manual gearbox, with that much power on tap, the automatic may well be the better option overall.
Interior: A Big Upgrade
The current 370Z's interior is the area that shows its age the most. Using the Q60's platform means a whole new interior, but we expect Nissan to keep the Z line's two-seater status and leave out the back seats. We're also hearing rumors that Nissan will be giving the 400Z retro styling inside as well as introducing a more refined interior. It's a given that the new car will have far better infotainment on board, as the base 370Z comes with just an AM and FM and a CD player. You have to upgrade to get Bluetooth streaming, and the head-unit looks the decade-old it is.

2022 Nissan Pathfinder Spy Shots
Nissan is in the process of updating or redesigning almost every vehicle in its lineup, and one of the vehicles due to be redesigned is the Pathfinder.
A prototype for the new Pathfinder has just been spotted ahead of a likely debut in the first half of 2021. We should see it on sale later that year as a 2022 model.
The new Pathfinder looks to have similar proportions to the current model, though a rugged and boxy look will replace the current model's softer lines. The recently revealed 2021 Nissan Rogue hints at what's coming.
The interior too should take influences from the latest Rogue. This would mean an available digital instrument cluster and a large infotainment screen. A shot of the new Pathfinder's interior shows an infotainment screen with the same hexagonal shape as the screen used in the Rogue.

All-new 2020 Nissan Sentra and all-new 2020 Nissan Versa earn best-in-segment honors in first year
A new chapter is unfolding at Nissan evidenced by four of its vehicles earning top segment honors in the J.D. Power 2020 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) StudySM, released today.
Nissan’s four segment wins were the most of any mass market brand in the 2020 APEAL study.
The all-new 2020 Sentra turned in the best performance for Nissan, scoring 42 points above its segment average (compact car). The all-new Versa scored 41 points ahead of segment average (small car); Maxima was 30 points ahead of segment average (large car); and Armada ranked 25 points ahead of its segment average (large SUV). This is the third APEAL segment win in a row for the Nissan Maxima.
“Delighting our customers takes a combined effort in partnership with our dealers,” said Mike Colleran, senior vice president, U.S. Marketing and Sales, Nissan North America. “We’re quickly revamping our portfolio with vehicles that thrill in both design and performance, and our dealer partners are experts at matching them to customer needs, which equates to these great customer satisfaction results.”
Among mass market brands Nissan improved its ranking, climbing from 14th place in 2019 to a tie for sixth in 2020.
“This was an extremely positive performance from Nissan as they are looking to reinvigorate their brand image,” said Dave Sargent, vice president of automotive quality at J.D. Power. “Eight of Nissan’s 10 ranked models scored better than their segment average, with four achieving Best in Segment. The automaker is performing very well in terms of delighting their customers when it comes to owning and driving Nissan vehicles.”
Now in its 25th year, the JD Power APEAL Study measures owners’ emotional attachment and level of excitement with their new vehicle across 37 attributes, ranging from the sense of comfort and luxury they feel when climbing into the driver’s seat to the feeling they get when they step on the accelerator. These attributes are aggregated to compute an overall APEAL index score measured on a 1,000-point scale.

The 2020 Nissan Sentra Is The Most Comfortable Car You Can Buy Today For About $25,000
By Nathan Adlen - July 6, 2020 on tflcar.com
If you like a smooth, efficient commute in comfort – the 2020 Nissan Sentra satisfies.
Fuel economy is rated at 29 mpg city, 39 mpg highway and 33 mpg combined for the S and SV. The SR gets 28 mpg city, 37 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined. Those numbers are competitive with less powerful vehicles in this class.”
Reliability
If you like a smooth, efficient commute in comfort – the 2020 Nissan Sentra satisfies.
The 2020 Nissan Sentra is one of the smoothest, most comfortable cars in its class. It’s a bargain too, especially considering what you get for the dough.
A comfortable ride
A comfortable ride
As I said the last time I drove one, “There is an all-new (for the Sentra) 2.0-liter engine that makes 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. That’s a 20-percent increase over the old 1.8-liter. The only transmission currently available is an Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Fuel economy is rated at 29 mpg city, 39 mpg highway and 33 mpg combined for the S and SV. The SR gets 28 mpg city, 37 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined. Those numbers are competitive with less powerful vehicles in this class.”
What I said seven months ago still holds true. Sure, I would prefer a turbo or more punch for fun, but as an economic, commuter – it does alright. It’s ride and comfort are on another level for this class.
Having a multi-link rear suspension helps with everything. The ride, handling and emergency maneuvers are all enhanced with this suspension setup. It’s so good, it proves that this car would be outstanding with more oomph.
Comfort and styling
Comfort and styling
This is the best part of the Sentra in my book. I absolutely adore those from zero-gravity seats. Sure, it’s a gimmick, but it’s a comfortable one. The seats truly hold you comfortably over the long haul. I wish the back seats were like this, but; on their own, they are fairly comfortable as well. On top of that, back seat room is among the best in class.
Nissan is sticking to the same design language they are using on all of their cars. The Sentra looks like the Versa, which looks like the Altima and Maxima. It’s attractive, but less so when sitting next to another Nissan car. Odd. Another odd ting, the truck of the Nissan Sentra is 14.3 cubic feet. Which is big… the same exact size as the Nissan Maxima’s truck.
The interior design is excellent, a step or two up from the previous Sentra. I like it better than the Nissan Altima, which I thought was pretty good as well. For an inexpensive car, it feels downright premium.

Reliability
The 2020 Nissan Sentra starts at just over $19,000. For that price, you already get Nissan’s excellent Safety Shield 360 as standard equipment. You also get the same engine/transmission setup across the board. Our fully loaded 2020 Nissan Sentra SR has an MSRP of $25,825. Sure, that’s a ton of cabbage, but you get a TON of tech for the money.
With that in mind, check out the video and see what you think. I truly believe that the new Nissan Sentra is one of the best riding vehicles in its class.

2021 Nissan Rogue First Look: Going Rogue Gets Safer, Swankier
The Rogue is Nissan's best-selling vehicle, ranking No. 3 on the sales charts in the white-hot compact SUV segment behind the new-for-2019 Toyota RAV4 and (new-for-2017) Honda CR-V. That's an amazingly strong showing given that the current Rogue came out in 2013, is less powerful, and has a smaller back seat than nearly all its competitors. For 2021, Nissan is finally poised to right those wrongs and attempt a sales surge.
The third-gen Rogue is based on a significantly revamped version of the current CMF-C/D architecture that now shares some basics with the new Sentra, less with the Altima. It's cloaked in adventurous styling that was previewed by the X-Motion concept from the 2018 Detroit auto show.
Hallmarks of the design include the "floating" roof (now available in contrasting black), a...

Next Nissan Rogue Going On Sale This Fall Despite Coronavirus
Production should begin this summer.
Nissan’s in a bad place right now. Sales plummeted 15 percent from 2018 to 2019, though the Nissan Rogue still managed to wiggle its way into the top 10 best-selling cars in America of 2019. Then there’s the Carlos Ghosn drama, too. It’s a vital crossover for the company, even if it’s a bit old. The current-gen Rogue debuted back in 2014. The company is preparing its successor, which will still go on sale later this year despite the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The coronavirus has caused Nissan and others to shut down factories around the world to help slow the spread of the disease. That means Nissan’s Smyrna, Tennessee factory, where Nissan had planned to build the new Rogue, is also shut down for the fores...
Nissan’s New Cheap Electric Crossover? It’ll Be Fast as a Sports Car
Americans have a clear preference when it comes to cars. When you move beyond the Big Three’s full-size trucks into “regular” vehicles, the next four best-selling cars in the U.S. in 2019 were compact crossovers: the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and Chevy Equinox. The Ford Escape and Jeep Cherokee also cracked the top 20.
These are Goldilocks cars. They offer enough ride height, enough capability, enough space, enough efficiency and enough liveliness not to be onerous — and they also start at prices cheap enough for most new car buyers to afford.
Building a car that ticks all those boxes has been a major challenge for EV manufacturers. Earlier reports from last year have suggested, however, that Nissan is working on creating that very electric crossover the people want. The Ariya co...
2020 Nissan Versa Drivers' Notes
The 2020 Nissan Versa is a totally new car this year, and Nissan did well by it. Nearly everything about the sedan has gotten better, and we can finally call it a contender in the fast-shrinking subcompact car segment. Nissan made it lower, wider and longer, stole some styling cues from the larger Altima sedan and brought it completely up to date from a technology standpoint. However, the engine is still rather gutless. The 1.6-liter four-cylinder has a little more grunt than last year at 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque (gains of 13 and 7 respectively), but it’s still achingly slow. Add an annoyingly buzzy soundtrack and a meh CVT to the equation, and acceleration becomes a painful process. However, that’s where the bad begins and ends for the Versa.

Hands-off driving: the result of a 20-year pursuit of safety
2019/12/17, Nissannews
When the new Nissan Skyline went on sale in Japan last July, customers and the media immediately took notice of the car’s unique “wow” factor – hands-off driving, enabled by the new ProPILOT 2.0 system.
The award-winning advanced driver assistance system lets drivers take their hands off the wheel under certain conditions in a single lane on supported highways in Japan*. It also assists the driver with traveling on a multi-lane highway until reaching a predetermined exit, helping handle passing and lane changes.
But creating a “wow” factor wasn’t Nissan’s goal. The hands-off feature is just one result of safety development that dates back to the 1990s.
“Our team started the development of ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) technology 20 years ago,” explains Tetsuya...
Nissan Frontier Desert Runner V-8 Race Truck Storms L.A. Auto Show
Stefan Ogbac, Nov 21, 2019, Motortrend
The Nissan Frontier Desert Runner is one of the off-road-oriented trims offered on the brand's midsize pickup truck alongside the PRO-4X. The Desert Runner you can buy at your local Nissan dealership comes with an off-road suspension and all-terrain tires, but for this one Nissan decided to turn the wick up and really make the name mean something. As a result, this one-off access cab example comes with Titan power.
Under the hood is the same 5.6-liter V-8 from the Titan full-size pickup but it has been modified with a Garrett GTX3584RS turbocharger, a custom intercooler, Jim Wolf Technology camshafts, valves, and pistons, Anne an MA Motorsports turbo header and exhaust system. The result is a healthy 600 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque, 200 hp and 287 lb-ft ...
UPDATE: 2020 Nissan Sentra Debuts With Sleek Looks, Better Tech
Nissan’s compact sedan gets a much-needed overhaul.
The very first Nissan Sentra debuted in the U.S. in 1982. And in the compact sedan's 37 years on sale in the States, the company has delivered more than six million units, making it one of the brand's most successful vehicles ever. Full stop. But as the market evolves, so to must the company's best-selling American sedan. For 2020, Nissan is giving the Sentra sedan a much-needed modern makeover, both inside and out.
Familiar Face, New Engine
The 2020 Nissan Sentra's visual connections to the larger Altima and Maxima sedans, as well as crossovers like the Kicks and Rogue, are obvious. The compact wears the same V-Motion family grille, slim LED headlights (optional), and floating roof found elsewhere in the Nissan lineup. Opt for the range...
Nissan will join move to electrify U.S. pickups
WANSHIP, Utah — Engineers at Nissan are working to electrify the company's pickups, joining a growing field of competitors now interested in the segment.
"Electrification will be key to trucks," Francois Bailly, global head of Nissan's Light Commercial Vehicles business, said at a press event here last week. "Electric is fun to drive — it's fantastic torque, acceleration, quietness, all that are great."
But when and how it happens remains to be seen.
Whether Nissan pickups receive hybrid powertrains or full battery-electric powertrains will hinge on the results of technology now in development, and also on affordability.
"There should not be any compromise in terms of towing, in terms of payload," Bailly said. "We need to be able to offer a reasonably priced pickup truck."

Under the hood is the same 5.6-liter V-8 from the Titan full-size pickup but it has been modified with a Garrett GTX3584RS turbocharger, a custom intercooler, Jim Wolf Technology camshafts, valves, and pistons, Anne an MA Motorsports turbo header and exhaust system. The result is a healthy 600 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque, 200 hp and 287 lb-ft ...
UPDATE: 2020 Nissan Sentra Debuts With Sleek Looks, Better Tech
Nissan’s compact sedan gets a much-needed overhaul.
The very first Nissan Sentra debuted in the U.S. in 1982. And in the compact sedan's 37 years on sale in the States, the company has delivered more than six million units, making it one of the brand's most successful vehicles ever. Full stop. But as the market evolves, so to must the company's best-selling American sedan. For 2020, Nissan is giving the Sentra sedan a much-needed modern makeover, both inside and out.
Familiar Face, New Engine
The 2020 Nissan Sentra's visual connections to the larger Altima and Maxima sedans, as well as crossovers like the Kicks and Rogue, are obvious. The compact wears the same V-Motion family grille, slim LED headlights (optional), and floating roof found elsewhere in the Nissan lineup. Opt for the range...
Nissan will join move to electrify U.S. pickups
WANSHIP, Utah — Engineers at Nissan are working to electrify the company's pickups, joining a growing field of competitors now interested in the segment.
"Electrification will be key to trucks," Francois Bailly, global head of Nissan's Light Commercial Vehicles business, said at a press event here last week. "Electric is fun to drive — it's fantastic torque, acceleration, quietness, all that are great."
But when and how it happens remains to be seen.
Whether Nissan pickups receive hybrid powertrains or full battery-electric powertrains will hinge on the results of technology now in development, and also on affordability.
"There should not be any compromise in terms of towing, in terms of payload," Bailly said. "We need to be able to offer a reasonably priced pickup truck."
Electrification is sw...

2021 Nissan Rogue First Look: Going Rogue Gets Safer, Swankier
The Rogue is Nissan's best-selling vehicle, ranking No. 3 on the sales charts in the white-hot compact SUV segment behind the new-for-2019 Toyota RAV4 and (new-for-2017) Honda CR-V. That's an amazingly strong showing given that the current Rogue came out in 2013, is less powerful, and has a smaller back seat than nearly all its competitors. For 2021, Nissan is finally poised to right those wrongs and attempt a sales surge.
The third-gen Rogue is based on a significantly revamped version of the current CMF-C/D architecture that now shares some basics with the new Sentra, less with the Altima. It's cloaked in adventurous styling that was previewed by the X-Motion concept from the 2018 Detroit auto show.
Hallmarks of the design include the "floating" roof (now available in contrasting black), a...

Next Nissan Rogue Going On Sale This Fall Despite Coronavirus
Production should begin this summer.
Nissan’s in a bad place right now. Sales plummeted 15 percent from 2018 to 2019, though the Nissan Rogue still managed to wiggle its way into the top 10 best-selling cars in America of 2019. Then there’s the Carlos Ghosn drama, too. It’s a vital crossover for the company, even if it’s a bit old. The current-gen Rogue debuted back in 2014. The company is preparing its successor, which will still go on sale later this year despite the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The coronavirus has caused Nissan and others to shut down factories around the world to help slow the spread of the disease. That means Nissan’s Smyrna, Tennessee factory, where Nissan had planned to build the new Rogue, is also shut down for the fores...
Nissan’s New Cheap Electric Crossover? It’ll Be Fast as a Sports Car
Americans have a clear preference when it comes to cars. When you move beyond the Big Three’s full-size trucks into “regular” vehicles, the next four best-selling cars in the U.S. in 2019 were compact crossovers: the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and Chevy Equinox. The Ford Escape and Jeep Cherokee also cracked the top 20.
These are Goldilocks cars. They offer enough ride height, enough capability, enough space, enough efficiency and enough liveliness not to be onerous — and they also start at prices cheap enough for most new car buyers to afford.
Building a car that ticks all those boxes has been a major challenge for EV manufacturers. Earlier reports from last year have suggested, however, that Nissan is working on creating that very electric crossover the people want. The Ariya co...
2020 Nissan Versa Drivers' Notes
The 2020 Nissan Versa is a totally new car this year, and Nissan did well by it. Nearly everything about the sedan has gotten better, and we can finally call it a contender in the fast-shrinking subcompact car segment. Nissan made it lower, wider and longer, stole some styling cues from the larger Altima sedan and brought it completely up to date from a technology standpoint. However, the engine is still rather gutless. The 1.6-liter four-cylinder has a little more grunt than last year at 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque (gains of 13 and 7 respectively), but it’s still achingly slow. Add an annoyingly buzzy soundtrack and a meh CVT to the equation, and acceleration becomes a painful process. However, that’s where the bad begins and ends for the Versa.
Our tester was the SR tri...
Hands-off driving: the result of a 20-year pursuit of safety
2019/12/17, Nissannews
When the new Nissan Skyline went on sale in Japan last July, customers and the media immediately took notice of the car’s unique “wow” factor – hands-off driving, enabled by the new ProPILOT 2.0 system.
The award-winning advanced driver assistance system lets drivers take their hands off the wheel under certain conditions in a single lane on supported highways in Japan*. It also assists the driver with traveling on a multi-lane highway until reaching a predetermined exit, helping handle passing and lane changes.
But creating a “wow” factor wasn’t Nissan’s goal. The hands-off feature is just one result of safety development that dates back to the 1990s.
“Our team started the development of ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) technology 20 years ago,” explains Tetsuya...
Nissan Frontier Desert Runner V-8 Race Truck Storms L.A. Auto Show
