Passport Nissan

Those of you who frequent the Passport Nissan blog might remember a post we made some time back about our favorite Japanese automaker's new market share-gaining strategy. Today, we'd like to update you on where Nissan is in terms of bringing 20 new products to its lineup.

First up, there's the  Nissan Altima. The mid-size sedan is undergoing a redesign for next year, and we can't wait! The current 2012 Nissan…

That catchy slogan from Nissan isn't just there to appeal to those who care about the environment. Rather, the Japanese automaker really is looking to do better for the world every day, and we here at Passport Nissan love reporting on it. The latest innovation involves how vehicles make it from production in Spain to dealerships in Northern Europe and Russia.

The answer comes in the form of an environmentally-friendly transport ship called the…

While other automakers continue to shrink the size of their SUV offerings, Nissan plans to do no such thing. Rather, the Nissan Pathfinder is set to gain some serious improvements in the 2012 model year, and the company is set to debut it at the North American International Auto Show.

It goes without saying, of course, that we here at Passport Nissan are quite excited for the big reveal. What exactly will the next-gen Pathfinder…

We here at Passport Nissan never mind having to wait for something that we really want, which is why news of a delay to the redesigned Nissan Titan hasn't bothered us as much as one might think. The full-size pickup from Nissan is well-deisnged, powerful, and versatile in its present form, and we simply can't wait to see what the next generation brings to the table. However, we also know that 2011 has…

The Nissan Altimaoriginally came to the United States as a 1992 model, and it took the market by storm. That's right now, in its 2012 model year, the Altima is officially 20 years old. It's hard to believe, but it's true. Why are we here at Passport Nissan bringing this up? Well, aside from the fact that it's simply an impressive feat, the Japanese automaker is also planning something big…

Nissan is aiming to revolutionize the automotive market with the release of their first ever all-electric vehicle. The Nissan LEAF is already available here at Passport Nissan, but soon it could be at dealership lots around both the country and the world.

This move could happen as soon as within the next few years, which would make the LEAF the world's first globally accessible electric vehicle. Nissan isn't just aiming big with LEAF…

The release of the Nissan LEAF marked an important milestone for our favorite Japanese automaker, and one that others are still trying to achieve. In creating the LEAF, however, Nissan has forgotten to diversify their lineup with models other than pure electrics, which is something that they're actively working to change.

In fact, new reports are indicating that Nissan could have a plug-in hybrid variant of the already popular Nissan Versa in the works…

Right now, the best way to drive models like the Nissan Altima, Nissan Rogue, and Nissan Quest is to grip the wheel and control the pedals. Nissan, however, is preparing to implement a new way to control the models in their lineup, and it seems like something straight out of a science fiction story.

More specifically, the Japanese automaker is now teaming with École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) to develop a way…

It's no secret that everyone here at Passport Nissan is a big fan of the vehicle that features "innovation for the extreme."¹ We are, of course, talking about the ever-famous Nissan Xterra. The 11-year-old Nissan model is designed with the outdoor enthusiast in mind, and it more than earns their respect in doing so.

In its 2012 model year, the Nissan Xterra will feature an advanced 4.0-liter DOHC V6 engine across all…

Most people have taken a ride in a limo once or twice in their life. Usually, these luxurious rides are reserved for special occasions, such as proms, weddings, concerts, and premier events. Often times, we here at Passport Nissan think of them as being long, somewhat aggressive looking, and, of course, inefficient (especially the stretch SUV).

However, as it turns out, Imperial Coach Builders, a custom-coach-building subsidiary of Electric Car Company, is preparing to overhaul…
