Nissan will also be the presenting sponsor of March Madness 360 on CBS Sports Network, which will provide viewers with expert analysis each day during the tournament. more "If 2020 was the year of the pivot, then 2021 is the year of the rebound," said Allyson Witherspoon, vice president and U.S. chief marketing officer, Nissan North America. "We're thrilled the tournament is back and that we have the opportunity to connect with fans in a myriad of ways while showcasing the all-new 2021 Rogue, Nissan's best-selling model in the industry's largest segment and the 2021 Sentra, Nissan's award-winning compact sedan." Nissan has engaged some of the most popular voices in sports commentary to share content from the Nissan Fan Cave. Starting March 25, fans can visit NissanFanCave.com to take in all the action happening at the onsite pop-up experience featuring the 2021 Nissan Rogue. "With a limited number of spectators permitted to view the games in person, content from those on the ground will be all the more important," Witherspoon said. "We've enlisted a fantastic group of personalities to share highlights from the games and their unique take on the tournament experience." Fans can also participate in CBS Sports' 2021 NCAA Bracket Challenge presented by Nissan. Participants in the bracket challenge – accessible at CBSSports.com/Nissan – will compete for a chance to win a new 2021 Rogue and tickets to the 2022 Final Four. They can create their own bracket or take advantage of Nissan's "Auto-Thrill" feature, where their bracket selections are auto-filled based on attributes of specific Nissan models, the all-new 2021 Rogue, the new 2021 Armada, and 2021 GT-R. To add to the thrill, Nissan is providing select fans an opportunity to participate in the Nissan Bracket Engineer – a virtual call with former professional basketball player and sports commentator Kenny "The Jet" Smith to get insights and tips toward making their picks. In partnership with Bleacher Report, three-time NBA Slam Dunk champ, Nate Robinson, and Harlem Globetrotter Maxwell Pearce will compete in Nissan's Trick Shot Shoot-out. The all-new 2021 Nissan Rogue will be integrated into each trick shot with fans voting for their favorite. Additional features of Nissan's digital presence during the tournament include an official co-sponsorship of the March Madness Live on Android where fans can catch every NCAA tournament game live.

Nissan customers can now ask Alexa to start, lock and unlock their vehicles with a simple request like “Alexa, start my car.” Alexa is Amazon's intelligent voice AI, ubiquitous in homes around the world. Nissan is the first automaker to work with Amazon on new features that leverage Alexa's new Connected Vehicle Skills API, making it more direct and easier for customers to control vehicle functions with Alexa. The system requires a select Nissan vehicle from 2016 through today, equipped with NissanConnect Services, and an Alexa-enabled home device. The NissanConnect Services “Skill” update is automatically available immediately, and at launch includes the capability to start, lock and unlock your vehicle. Additionally, households with multiple Nissans can personalize the names of each of them and use the name to direct the request; for example, “Alexa, lock Wyatt's car.” Customers now also have the ability to maintain multiple vehicles on the same account; for example: “Alexa, start my Rogue” and, “Alexa, start my TITAN.” more “This advancement with Amazon's Alexa makes owning a Nissan vehicle that much easier,” said Jared Haslam, vice president, product planning, Nissan U.S. and Canada. “Our customers integrate their vehicles with their lives, and certainly integrate Alexa with their lives, so this combination could not be more ideal.” Nissan owners with the following vehicles equipped and enrolled with NissanConnect Services can start enjoying Alexa even more today: • 2016 and newer Altima • 2018 and newer Armada • 2017 and newer GT-R • 2016 and newer Maxima • 2017.5 and newer Murano • 2017 and newer Pathfinder • 2016 and newer Rogue • 2017 and newer Rogue Sport • 2017 and newer TITAN • 2016 and newer TITAN XD • 2016 and newer Sentra (excluding 2019 and 2020) NissanConnect Services, a suite of convenience and security features, helps when owners need it most – including remote access features and emergency response services. NissanConnect Services can be accessed from inside the vehicle, on a computer, on a smartphone or smartwatch app and with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Since 2017, Nissan has been working with Amazon and their Alexa platform, allowing customers to remotely control vehicle functions from almost anywhere with just their voice. Nissan has continued collaborating with Amazon to simplify the customer experience for the most popular requests. Simplified commands to start, stop, lock and unlock will all be available at launch, with additional capabilities available in the coming months.

Owners were surveyed about their 2018 model year vehicles for the 2021 study. VDS measures the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PPH) during the first three years after purchase, with a lower score reflecting higher quality. "The Vehicle Dependability Study is a great validation of a vehicle's true quality because it comes after three years of real-world, everyday use," said James Moss, vice president, Total Customer Satisfaction, Nissan North America, Inc. "Earning the top spot in the competitive midsize truck segment is an immense point of pride for us." Frontier is produced at Nissan's Canton Mississippi Vehicle Assembly plant and ranked at the top of its category with a score of 106 PPH in the 2021 study. This is the third year in a row that Frontier has captured the top spot in the VDS Midsize Pickup segment. Nissan unveiled an all-new 2022 Frontier earlier this month, celebrating more than six decades of experience bringing compact and midsize trucks to U.S. customers. The all-new Frontier goes on sale in summer of 2021 and brings the power, capability, utility, maneuverability, and technology that drivers need to take on both weekday work and weekend adventures.

Why You Should Trade In Your Car vs Selling It Yourself: Looking to sell your vehicle? Trade it In or Sell it to us instead! Before you place that classified ad, read below and see why it actually SAVES you money and time to sell it to Passport instead! Trading A Car Can Save You Money: In many states, you only pay sales tax on the “Price Difference” as opposed to the full selling price when you buy without trading. For example, if you buy a new car for $25,000 and trade-in your old car for $8,000 you will only pay $1,200 in taxes vs $1,500 if you did not trade-in your car. more Trading A Car Helps Protect Your Privacy and Your Safety: In today’s complex society with identity theft and so many other hazards, selling your car yourself can be potentially dangerous. The process of selling a vehicle privately can expose you and your family to identity thieves, fraud, counterfeiters, or possibly carjacking. If you do choose to sell your vehicle yourself, be extremely careful and take the proper precautions to ensure your personal and financial safety. When setting up appointments with potential buyers that you don't know, only schedule meetings when a friend or family member can be there with you, and ALWAYS meet in a well-lit, crowded, public place OTHER than your home. Trading or Selling to a reputable dealership like PASSPORT is simple, easy, and helps protect you and your family. Trading A Car Saves You Time and Effort: Selling a car requires significant effort on your part. In order to sell your used car, you'll have to do things like running and paying for classified ads, taking professional photos of your vehicle, taking and handling phone calls, and allowing complete strangers to test drive your car! Then, of course, you'll have to negotiate for your final price, and most customers need financing, so that adds another layer to the transaction. Trading or Selling your car to Passport Saves You Time, Effort, and Aggravation! Trading A Car Helps You Avoid Costly Last-Minute Car Repairs: If you decide to sell your car, you will need to ensure it is well-maintained and all parts are working. You must also ensure that all recalls are performed and that any special requirements are met for your state. If you trade the vehicle to a reputable dealership like PASSPORT, we will gladly take care of ALL reconditioning and then we assume ALL liability for reselling the vehicle. Making sure your car is mechanically sound and ready for the market only adds extra worry and expense on your part, including fixing brakes, tires, and other pricey items. Trading or Selling your car to Passport gives you peace of mind and helps remove legal complexity and potential legal pitfalls from your life. Trading Or Selling Your Car To Us Lets You Walk Away Hassle and Worry-Free: When you trade-in or sell your car to a PASSPORT dealership, you'll prevent any issues with a dissatisfied customer later on. What happens if the engine light comes on, or if the transmission or brakes go out? If you sell your car privately, the new owner knows where you live and may contact or harass you, or even obtain legal representation and potentially sue you in small claims court. When you trade-in your vehicle or sell it to a Passport dealership, we assume all of the responsibility and you can walk away from the hassle and worry-free. When you add up the potential liabilities and the exposure to your privacy, it just makes sense to protect your privacy and save yourself time, effort, and money and sell or trade your car to a Passport dealership. Contact us today and let us show you how easy it can be to get rid of your old vehicle for a fair, easy price. We will make you a customer for life at Passport Auto Group!
