Nissan of Auburn is the dealership to go if you are looking for amazing deals on brand-new Nissan cars. The 2012 Nissan Versa is one of Nissan’s best vehicles, packing amazing, innovative features, powerful performance and Nissan’s legendary quality at an affordable price.

There are myriad ways the all-new 2012 Nissan Versa for sale near Seattle breaks new ground for entry-level compaWA sedans. And many ways to sum them all up. But perhaps a simple statement is best: Innovation Within Reach.

Knowing that entry-level vehicles are used as “workhorses” – for commuting on weekdays, errand running on weekends and transporting family and friends all week long – the designers of the new Versa Sedan sought to combine five-passenger practicality with a high degree of comfort and refinement.

The 2012 Nissan Versa near Seattle also offers an unexpected level of available entertainment and connectivity features, such as Bluetooth, navigation system with 5-inch touch-screen display, Satellite Radio and an iPod/USB interface.

The new Versa Sedan’s interior volume of 90.0 cubic feet and trunk volume of 14.8 cubic feet (104.8 cubic feet total) are intended to not only look great on a specifications sheet – the passenger and cargo spaces have been configured for real-world use.

2012 Nissan Versa Near Seattle Is a Pleasure To Look At

The Versa Sedan’s new exterior design is also a departure from most current compaWA sedans, offering a refreshing design character that is both sophisticated and highly aerodynamic. The designers gave the exterior shape a strong sense of volume, with a wide shoulder width and a smooth silhouette.

The second-generation 1.6-liter HR16DE 4-cylinder engine includes a range of cutting-edge technologies, making it one of the most advanced powerplants in class. For example, while the average engine uses only one injector per cylinder to injeWA fuel, the 2012 Nissan Versa for near Seattleis equipped with two streamlined injectors mounted near the inlet valve for each cylinder.

In addition, the new Versa will be the first Nissan model in the United States branded with the PUREDRIVE designation. PUREDRIVE will be used on models utilizing Nissan’s most advanced technologies to promote eco-friendly driving and lower CO2 emissions.

With the end of a long winter finnaly in sight, consumers are advised to have their brakes checked at Rairdon’s Auburn Nissan service center.  Driving in winter weather can put a lot of strain on a vehicle and now is the perfect time to give a car a ‘check up’ before warmer weather arrives.

When the friction material on brake pads wears down, it is time to change the pads. Some pads are equipped with a wear indicator, which is a small spring steel clip. When a pad is worn, this clip makes contact with the rotor and generates a high-pitched squeal, telling you that it is time to service the brakes. If the pad does not have a wear indicator, then when the pad has worn down to the steel backing it will grind into the rotor and need to be replaced.

The service center at Nissan of Auburn is proud to serve Seattle Nissan drivers with quality car maintenance and repairs and will help car owners keep up with routine maintenance.

General car maintenance, such as routine oil changes, tire rotations, fluid flushes and filter replacements, are all affordable procedures that will keep all vehicles in their best shape and in ideal driving conditions.

Seattle Nissan Service

Some of these procedures can be done by car owners, such as filter replacements.  Car owners can find the correct filter for their vehicle at the part’s department at the leading Kent Nissan dealer or have them replaced at the dealership during their next car service.  Filters that should be checked at a future visit include air filters, fuel filters and cabin filters.

Routine oil changes are among the easiest and most important things to keep up with.  Be sure to make an appointment at the Kent Nissan dealer or stop by for an oil change.  Oil changes are recommended every 3,000 miles.  Routine oil changes ensure that the car and engine are running efficiently.

Car owners who do not keep up with oil changes will run into problems when their vehicle has old oil or not enough oil.  Problems such as an engine overheating or other major problems can occur and result in high repair bills.

Fluid flushes should also be kept up with.  Coolant/antifreeze flushes, brake system flushes and transmission fluid services also help to keep all vehicles in top shape.  The technicians at the Seattle Nissan service center will let drivers know when their vehicle is in need of one.

Tire rotations are also important to lengthen the lifespan of tires.  Tires should be rotated about every 5,000 miles or about every other oil change.  Tire rotations are important because they prevent tires from wearing unevenly, which can cause a car to lean and lead to safety problems.  Tire pressure should also be monitored, especially in the winter.  Car owners should make sure that they have the correct about of pressure in their tires for safety and optimum fuel efficiency.  Too low pressure wears down tires and tire treat and overfilling tires can cause tire blowouts.

Important inspections, such as checks on brakes, front end, under-carriage, belts, hoses and battery, should be done routinely to ensure that everything is in best shape.

Seattle Nissan owners can keep up with routine maintenance by having regular tune ups and checkups at Nissan of Auburn.  Car owners will find that their vehicle will perform better and be in a much better driving condition.

While vehicle maintenance is always vital, it is especially important as winter approaches.  During these months, vehicles have to fend off bitter cold temperatures, ice, snow, slush and salt.  With these tips, Kent Nissan drivers can be prepared for any upcoming weather.

Nissan Service Kent WA

Customers can make sure their vehicle is in top shape for the season by visiting the leading center for Nissan service in Kent WA at Nissan of Auburn for vehicle service.  Mechanics at the service center can easily perform all the following steps to ensure that all vehicles are ready for winter driving.

A car not starting isn’t fun at any time, but it’s even less fun in the freezing cold.  Have the battery and charging system checked by a local mechanic, who can ensure its connections are clean, tight and corrosion free or replace the battery if it is more than three years old.

Brakes, of course, should be checked given how important they become on icy or snow-covered roads.

Also with control in mind, drivers should take the time to check tire tread depth and tire pressure.  Tire pressure should actually be checked weekly during the winter as it can fall as much as a pound per square inch with every 10-degree drop in temperature.  Owners should also consider special tires to grip slick roads in especially snowy areas.

As always, changing the oil at recommended intervals is important, but dirty oil can be even more of a problem in winter.  A switch to low viscosity oil is often a smart choice, as it can easily flow, even at cold temperatures.

Finally, to maintain the best possible visibility, antifreeze and wiper blades need to be replaced.  Antifreeze should be flushed out and refilled every two years in most vehicles.  Wiper blades, which can have their lifespans cut down by cold weather, should be changed if they are cracked, torn or don’t properly clean the windshield.  These parts can be picked up at the parts department at the Nissan service center in Kent.

To schedule a service appointment, give the Nissan of Auburn service department a call at 877-500-6186 or visit then Kent Nissan service center online at http://www.kentnissanservice.com/.

Imagine never having to stop at a gas station to fill up ever again. Imagine plugging your car into your home charger station just like you plug your cell phone in at night. Imagine leaving the world a cleaner place than when you entered it, doing your part to reduce your carbon footprint.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released some pretty spectacular ratings and numbers on the all—electric Nissan LEAF.

In fact, it’s the best rating that the EPA has ever released on a car. Finally, a car that our earth will be thankful for!

The EPA has approved its fuel economy label for the 100 percent electric Nissan LEAF, rating the vehicle to be the “best” in the midsize vehicle class for fuel efficiency and “best” for the environment. The new label shows a best-in-class 99 miles per gallon (mpg) equivalent combined city/highway. The MPG equivalency rating was developed by the EPA as a way to provide a standard so consumers can compare vehicles across the spectrum and make an educated purchase.

The all-electric 2011 Nissan LEAF, coming soon to the leading Seattle Nissan dealer, was also rated best in class for the environment based on emitting zero greenhouse gases or other traditional tailpipe emissions.

The label, which will be part of the Nissan LEAF’s Monroney label, is now ready for placement on the vehicles in anticipation of the December launch. After completion of five-cycle testing, the EPA has rated the Nissan LEAF with an MPG equivalent of 106 city, 92 highway for a combined 99mpg. This calculation is based on the EPA’s formula of 33.7kW—hrs being equivalent to one-gallon gasoline energy.

In addition, the label displays a charging time of seven hours on a 240V charge and a driving range of 73 miles, based on the five-cycle tests using varying driving conditions and climate controls. Driving range on the Nissan LEAF, as with all vehicles, varies with real-world driving conditions.

Based on the same unibody platform of the Nissan Sentra with a wagon body and elevated ride height, the 2011 Nissan Rogue is the definition of a successful crossover. The wheelbase of the 2011 Rogue is the longest vehicle in its class creating 57.9 cubic feet of cargo space, plenty of room for all your cargo.

All 2011 Rogue models come with mood lighting and new seat fabric. Available in three trim levels, the S, Krom, and SV, drivers can choose what upgraded features they want in their vehicle. The top of the line 2011 Rogue Krom trim rides on 18 inch alloy wheels and boasts a different grille from the S and SV trims.

Nissan Dealer Seattle

The 2011 Nissan Rogue has one available engine, a powerful 2.5-liter 4 cylinder engine that creates 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque with the Nissan’s standard continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT is a belt-and-pulley system that allows power to travel through the engine in an uninterrupted flow. This allows the engine’s power to match the driver’s demand for acceleration, so Rogue drivers experience a quick engine response once their foot hits the pedal.

Even with all the Rogue’s power, the 2011 Nissan Rogue remains among the most fuel efficient compact crossovers in its class. The CVT engine helps the Rogue’s fuel economy without hindering quick acceleration compared to most four-cylinder crossovers. The 2011 Nissan Rogue gets an EPA estimated 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway with front wheel drive and 22 mpg city and 26 mpg highway with all wheel drive.

The Rogue is a crossover with a sporty driving feel and sharp steering combined with SUV capabilities. Standard traction control, antiskid systems, and antilock four-wheel brakes help Rogue drivers command the road better and avoid accidents.

The Seattle Nissan Service team knows Washington drivers have always heard to change your oil every three months or every 3,000 miles, but how many of them know why? After all, changing your oil is not an exact science.

For the best Seattle Nissan car repair you should know that the best way to maintain your vehicle properly is to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Many manufacturer’s recommend changing your oil once a year or every 7,500 miles for a gasoline engine and every 3,000 miles or six months for a diesel or turbocharged gasoline engine.

Nissan Service in Seattle

Although these are most manufacturer’s guidelines, you have to make sure to read the fine print. This recommendation is usually based on driving in “ideal”circumstances whereas the majority of us usually drive under “severe service” circumstances. “Severe service” circumstances include frequent short trips under 10 miles especially during cold weather, stop and go city traffic, dusty conditions including gravel and dirt roads, and sustained highway speeds during hot weather. Obviously, it would be difficult to find a driver who is not driving under any of these circumstances at least once a day!

So, for everyone out there who travels in “severe service” circumstances, Washington Nissan Service Center recommends you change your oil every 3,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first, in order to keep your engine running properly.

If you have put a lot of miles on your car, make sure you take your car for frequent oil changes because as the engine racks up the miles, the blowby increases. The oil in your engine will begin to break down when the unburned fuel starts diluting the oil. If you don’t change the oil often enough, your engine will have even more wear and tear along with all the problems that come with it! These problems include loss of performance and fuel economy with increased emissions and oil consumption, four issues that no car owner wants to deal with.

When you do service your car with an oil change make sure the filter is always changed with the oil so that you don’t contaminate any of the new oil with the gunk in the older filter. Never overfill your oil because it can cause serious engine problems. And finally always use a product with the API Certification Seal that meets the American Petroleum Institute’s latest requirements and is energy conserving.

Because Nissan of Auburn offers the best Washington Nissan service in Washington, their team follows all of these regulations when taking care of your car because we care just as much as you do. Visit them today for more information or contact them at 866-491-8889 to make a service appointment.

Seattle Nissan consumers will have the opportunity to drive the Nissan LEAF throught the Seattle streets when Nissan takes the LEAF on tour November 12-14th at Southcenter Mall in Seattle.  Seattle Nissan dealer, Nissan of Auburn, will start recieving the first shipments for confirmed reserved Nissan owners in December.

Can’t wait to test drive one yourself to know what the LEAF is all about?  Thanks to one of the best websites around, Autoblog, we’re able to get a taste:

We’ve met the Nissan Leaf before. First at its coming-out party in Japan, followed by an all-too-brief stint behind the wheel of a Versa-based prototype late last year. Now we’ve had a chance to sample Nissan’s first foray into the world of electric vehicles in production form and the automaker picked one of its most important markets – the heart of Silicon Valley – to give us some seat time.

If there’s any area ripe for early-EV adoption, it’s San Jose, CA. And during a quick test loop through the tight confines of Santana Row and a run through the city’s suburban surrounds, it’s obvious that the first mass-produced EV is officially ready for prime-time.

If you’re anything like the 16,300 people who have reserved a Leaf for lease ahead of its December launch, you’ve already devoured all the salient details in the run-up to its release. For those of you late to the party, here’s the quick and dirty version of what you get for your $32,780 – or just over $25,000 after you factor in applicable state and federal incentives.

The Leaf is a five-door, five-passenger city car fitted with a 24kW lithium-ion battery pack complete with 48 separate modules housing four cells a piece. We’re pointing out the number of cells because if one fails, Nissan can replace the individual modules without having to replace the entire battery pack – further proof that the Japanese automaker is keenly aware of the issues that could plague a mass-market EV.

All those crazed electronics get routed to the front wheels through a front-mounted motor producing 107 horsepower and 208 pound-feet of torque. Top speed comes in at just under 90 mph and Nissan claims a 0-60 mph time under ten seconds. Neither figure matters much in this particular slice of the auto world, but both numbers suggest this isn’t yet another four-wheeled electric toy.

What arguably matters most is range, and with the Leaf, Nissan contends the slippery hatch (.29 cD) is good for 100 miles per charge – a reasonable amount for its target demographic of urban dwellers and inner-city commuters. When the juice does run out, you can plug one of three different cables into one of two front-mounted ports: 110-, 220- or 440-volt.

The first option is available to anyone who can plug in a toaster, but it provides barely enough juice to top up the batteries after 20 hours of charge time and it doesn’t do bagels.

The two other options are far more advantageous. An electrician can adapt your existing 220-volt clothes dryer outlet, thus reducing charge time to around seven hours total. The cost of the in-house charger runs around $2,200, but the Feds will take care of half that amount and Nissan will not only arrange for the installation, it’ll allow you to roll the cost of the setup into your monthly payments. If you’re lucky enough to live around one of the 440-volt “Quick Charge” stations, you can get up to 80 percent of the battery’s capacity in around 30 minutes. Expect to see these popping up all over the U.S. – from California to New York – in the coming months and years… assuming all goes according to plan.

On the subject of cost, the aforementioned $32,780 sticker is the base price (again, not including any government rebates), but if you want the backup camera and spoiler-mounted solar panel, you can option up for the SL model at a $940 premium. The rearview camera is a reasonable accessory, much more so than the solar panel, which simply trickle charges a 12-volt battery to supply electrons to the headlights, clock and a few low-power accessories. Nissan officials admit it’s more of a marketing ploy than a functional addition, but that hasn’t stopped 85 percent of pre-order customers from optioning up for the SL trim. And for just under a grand to burnish your soon-to-be unassailable green halo, why not?

So, with the facts and figures out of the way, what’s it like? To begin with, bigger than we expected.

On our initial approach, we thought the Leaf was sitting on a podium. Once we got a clear view, it was obvious that not only is the greenhouse expansive, but it’s on the large side of the B-segment. The footprint is like any other subcompact, but the beltline rises high and there’s copious quantities of glass expanding from the windshield back.

Although aerodynamic efficiency is a top priority, it’s not immediately obvious that the Leaf is anything other than a standard around-town runabout. The only tell-tales are the panel up front that hides the two charging ports and the rather rotund rump that protrudes several inches past the rear wheels in a rather Gallic fashion (fitting, considering Nissan’s Renault ties). The taillamps are thin and long, running from below the functional spoiler to halfway down the hatch, and a quartet of diffusers at the rear tip you off to the smooth underbody tray beneath.

The headlights are more compelling, bulging out from the fenders more than some concepts displayed on the auto show circuit every year. Predictably, they serve a functional purpose. When Nissan was testing the Leaf, they noticed a fair amount of wind noise coming off the side mirrors. And with any EV, exterior noise is amplified due to the lack of racket emanating from under-hood. So the lights were redesigned to split the air leading towards the mirrors, eliminating buffeting and drawing a clear line through the atmosphere.

However, noise had to be added back in. To assuage the fears of the sight-impaired, Nissan fitted a small speaker to the left-front side of the Leaf that emits a subtle tone up to 18 mph. After that, Nissan believes wind and tire noise will be enough to warn pedestrians of an approaching Leaf. And no, customized sounds aren’t in the cards, but when you shift the drive selector into Reverse, it does emit a faint, commercial truck-like beep.

Our first stint inside was in the back seat, and after throwing our camera bag and coat into the commodious trunk (despite the fact that 900 pounds worth of batteries are mounted behind and under the rear seats), we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of space in back. Nissan claims you can fit three people in the rear, but as always, make sure the person in the middle is suitably malnourished and amiable.

Situated behind the driver, the ride was suitably smooth thanks to an independent suspension up front and a torsion beam in the rear, while 16-inch wheels wrapped in low-rolling resistance tires soaked up what little bumps were found in and around the city.

The materials inside are a few degrees better than what you’d find in an economy car of similar size, with cloth seating as the only material (dead cow wouldn’t be P.C.) and a combination of plastics that ran the gamut from mildly plush to the high side of acceptable.

From behind the wheel, the seating position is surprisingly elevated, necessary to see over the acres of dash in front of you. A two-tiered instrument cluster is front-and-center, with a digital speedometer up top, flanked by a clock, exterior temperature gauge and an LCD “tree” to let you know if you’re being a good boy with the electric throttle.

The second display, nestled in the traditional space behind the steering wheel, provides more information, including temperature and range, a power indicator and the normal assortment of trip and transmission information. It’s relatively straight-forward, as is the navigation screen at the center of the dash that can display a myriad of power, charge and travel information. Taken as a whole, it’s technofabulous, but the learning curve doesn’t seem out of reach of your average iPhone user.

To get things underway, you press a small, glowing button to the right of the steering wheel, release the electronic parking brake, then move the silver, ‘hockey puck’ drive selector to the left and then down to select Drive. Release the brake, press the accelerator and you’re whisked forward to the sound of… nothing.

As we experienced in the Tesla Roadster, this initial lack of noise is slightly unnerving at first, but as speeds increase, the sound of wind and the low rumbling of the tires take over. The steering is commuter-friendly light, slightly overboosted, but perfect for running around town.

Give the throttle a determined shove and the Leaf gets moving with authority. It’s not blazing, certainly but it’s adequately quick, with plenty of punch to motivate the Leaf’s portly 3,700-pound curb weight. In Normal mode, throttle resistance is minimal, but switching to Eco stiffens things up to promote lighter inputs. However, if you take it to the floor, the Leaf responds with the same amount of thrust you’d get in the standard mode.

On the other hand, braking was slightly less endearing, with a wooden feel accentuated by the minimal amount of travel before things get biting. With the system set back to Normal, the regenerative brakes provide a subtle amount of “engine braking,” but in Eco it becomes more pronounced, slowing the Leaf down quicker and giving the batteries a minimal jolt of energy. We were expecting something akin to what we enjoyed in the Tesla – the regenerative braking remained one of our favorite driving features – but it’s decidedly less aggressive in the Leaf. And considering the application, it should be.

If there’s any overarching sense from behind the wheel, it’s that the Leaf is simply a car. The gadgetry is impressive, but no more so than some of the hybrid options available from Nissan’s competitors. The interior is comfortable and spacious, with more than enough room for four people and their assorted trappings. Few things stand out, and that’s exactly its point. Nissan isn’t out to change the driving experience, it’s just changing the method of motivation. And more than anything else, that’s what’s going to bring electric vehicles into the mainstream.

No matter where you are in the United States, if you are one of the lucky thousands to reserve your Nissan LEAF on time, it’s time to place your order from Seattle Nissan Dealer, Nissan of Auburn.  We are offering the most competitive prices in the country on the Nissan LEAF and on top of that, we’re offering a shipping credit for those who live outside of Washington State.  If you haven’t yet reserved your Nissan LEAF orders this year, you’re unfortunately too late.

We’d like to think that we were a very small piece of the equation of a lofty goal Nissan initially set.   Nissan’s plan was to stop taking Nissan LEAF orders once they reached 20,000 reservations, which they hoped to reach by December 2010.  Nissan held to that plan as they hit 20,000 reservations on September 23, 2010, three months early!  If you’re one of the lucky thousands who put a deposit down to reserve a Nissan LEAF, you’re in an elite crowd.

Those who are interested in the Nissan LEAF but have yet to make a reservation are invited to sign up for information and updates on http://www.nissanusa.com, or simply bookmark this site because I will be updating the moment any news comes out for the next phase of reservations, which should begin next year.

Achieving 20,000 reservations marks the successful completion of the first phase of the Nissan LEAF rollout, which began more than five months ago, and no further reservations will be taken until next year. Nissan now is focusing on providing the best level of customer service and premium ownership experience to those who already have enrolled. A subsequent phase of reservations will begin next year, after current reservations and orders have been processed.

“As of today, 20,000 consumers have spoken, and they are choosing the Nissan LEAF and a zero-emission future,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America. “We, along with our dealers, now look forward to focusing on providing an absolute top-level purchase experience to our first customers, and to help ensure that the transition to gas-free driving is a seamless one. We invite all who are interested in experiencing the Nissan LEAF to join us at the upcoming Drive Electric Tour, which is coming to 23 cities beginning this fall.”

Consumers and other interested drivers will have the first opportunity to test-drive a Nissan LEAF in select markets starting Oct. 1 through the “Drive Electric Tour.” The tour will provide information about the car, its technology, and its features, along with the first public test-drives.

Tour stops include:

Oct. 1-3: Santa Monica, Calif. Jan. 7-9, 2011: Houston
Oct. 8-10: Anaheim, Calif. Jan. 14-16: Dallas
Oct. 15-17: San Diego Jan. 21-23: Jacksonville, Fla.

The 2010 Altima Coupe is available in four well-equipped models: 2.5 S 6MT, 2.5 S CVT, 3.5 SR 6MT and 3.5 SR CVT.  All models received great upgrades, including the base model, which starts affordably at under $23,000.

“Starting with the popular Altima Sedan, which has proven that a practical, high quality sedan doesn’t have to be boring, the Altima Coupe adds a personality all its own – taking the best elements of Altima to new levels of sleek sophistication and exhilarating control,” said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. “The enhancements for 2010 are substantial, providing even greater differentiation from the Sedan and upping the entertainment factor of an already terrifically satisfying sporty coupe.”

Seattle Nissan lovers (or more like Seattle earth lovers) mark your calendars!  The Nissan LEAF is going on tour and will be in Seattle Nov 12-Nov 14th from 8AM-6PM at Southcenter Mall.  This isn’t for you to simply look at the Nissan LEAF, this will be for you to actually get out and drive the Nissan LEAF.

Purchasing your zero-emission Nissan LEAF will not be like other cars you have purchased in the past.  There is a process that you will go through.

First, you put a $99 deposit down with Nissan USA to reserve your car.  This deposit does not commit you to the Nissan LEAF; it is fully refundable if you change your mind.

The company then does a home assessment and then installation of your charger begins.  (A large part of the fee is refunded.)  You then let Nissan USA know that you will be purchasing your Nissan LEAF from your Seattle area Nissan dealer, Nissan of Auburn.  Nissan of Auburn then orders it and whala; you’re now a Seattle Nissan LEAF owner.

Shipment of the Washington State Nissan LEAF will be here in December.  The reviews from the nationwide media tour of the Nissan LEAF have been excellent.

You can tool around Seattle in the Nissan LEAF and fit 5 comfortably.  The roof is arched and so there is plenty of headroom and the get up and go is incredibly surprising, with 100% instant torque.  A full charge will take you 100 miles. 

Keep in mind, that how many miles you get will vary on your driving conditions.  There will be variations depending on what you have on in the car, etc.  There is an impressive instrument panel that tells you how many miles until you’re juice is gone.  What is so great about this feature, is you push a button and it will give you a map of your vicinity showing you how far you can get on your current charge and where the charging stations in the vicinity. 

So say you’re southbound on the 5, stuck in traffic and you need to find a Nissan charging station in Puyallup.  With a push of the button, it will guide you to the closest one.  It takes about ½ hour to charge 80%. 

In my opinion, we all need to slow down and take a breather.  Stop, grab a cup of coffee while your Nissan LEAF charges in Renton, or wherever you are in Washington or Oregon.

Washington and Oregon are part of a program called the EV Project, conducted by Etec.  The Department of Energy has awarded Etec a grant to install 4,700 charging stations around the country with approximately 2,400 of those charging stations will charge your Nissan LEAF in Washington and Oregon. 

Other states that will be a recipient of these charging stations will be California, Arizona and Tennessee.
Nissan of Auburn is offering the Nissan LEAF at one of the lowest in the nation.  Please contact us immediately for details.  Nissan of Auburn is also offering a shipping credit for those that live outside of Washington State.

To schedule a test drive on Nov 12-14th, please click here.

Nissan of Auburn serves your Nissan needs near Seattle, Burien, Puyallup, Renton, Kent, Enumclaw, SeaTac, Bellevue, Issaquah and all of King County.  We are part of the Rairdon Group.  When you purchase your car from the Rairdon Group, you save money!

The 2010 Nissan Rogue is a great car for the daily driver.  The 2010 Nissan Rogue is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. The front-wheel-drive Rogue keeps drivers on the road longer with an EPA estimated mileage of 27 MPG on the highway.  The small SUV comfortably seats five.

The Rogue is a five-passenger compact crossover SUV available in two trim levels, the S and the SL, both with either front or all-wheel drive. The base model comes with 16-inch steel wheels, cruise control, a tilting steering wheel, air-conditioning, full power accessories, keyless entry and a four-speaker audio system with a CD player and an auxiliary jack.

The SL trim level adds 17-inch alloy wheels, 6-way adjustable driver’s seat, roof rails, body-color power outside mirrors, rear tinted glass and a polished exhaust-tip.  Addition options include HID headlights, foglights, an 8-speaker stereo system and leather seating.

The Rogue is a great financial choice as well.  Starting at just over $20,000, the crossover drives with the power of its larger cousin, the Murano, but also offers drivers with carlike handling.

The Rogue also tests well in safety.  The crossover received a top five-star rating in front, rear and side-impact tests.  It also received a “Good” rating (the best rating possible) in both frontal-offset and side-impact tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The team at your Washington Nissan dealership is dedicated to providing customers with quality Nissan cars, and we are excited to provide you with the great Nissan Rogue.

The new Nissan Leaf will offer state-of-the art styling, both inside and out with the latest advancements in aerodynamic design and IT connectivity capability.  The headlamps are specially designed to redirect air by splitting the flow around the side mirrors, so as to reduce drag and improve the cars dynamic efficiency.  And, for consumers who like to stay connected, they will be able to set their mobile phones to activate functions in the LEAF like the air conditioning and the charging performance, giving the car a state-of -the-art wireless control capability.

Nissan of Auburn in Seattle will announce the Leaf’s MSRP later this year, closer to the Leaf’s arrival date.  Marty Collins of Admiral Automotive Group predicts that the new Leaf will be a hot seller for Nissan and break best-selling records.  “The new Leaf is quite an accomplishment in terms of technological ingenuity and design breakthrough.  The Leaf will prove to consumers that electric cars are not only smart, they are stylish.”

For over 95 years, Nissan has been a leader in innovative automobiles.  Known for their practical, cost-effective vehicles, their cars have won recent accolades from Consumer’s Digest Best Buy and J.D. Power and Associates.  Collins anticipates that the new Leaf will only further cement Nissan’s footprint as a leader in the automotive industry.
