Designed by Nissan Design America in San Diego, Calif., the Quest is powered by the same great 3.5-liter V-6 found in at least six other Nissan/Infiniti vehicles, giving it more oomph (240 hp, 242 lb-ft of torque) than most owners will ever ask of it. It rides on the same FF-L platform found in the Altima, Murano, and Maxima. the Quest has the longest, widest-opening doors in its class, which makes getting to and from the third-row seat a cinch. Back-seat access is further simplified by the trick second-row bucket seats, which tilt up and forward (seat cushion and all), much like the front seats do in the VW Beetle. The second-row seats fold flat, and the third-row bench folds flat into the floor for maximum cargo-carrying capacity. Interior volume has increased 44 cubic feet over the previous Quest, placing it among the roomiest front-wheel-drive minivans.Inside the feeling is open, spacious and modern, with furniture-style seats, ample walk-through space and bold interior colors. “Urban loft” is the how Nissan design director Alfonso Albaisa described the feeling they were trying to evoke. Up front, the shift lever, A/C and audio controls are clustered on a round, table-top-like console that projects up from the floor like a barrel. The instrument panel and information/navigation display screen is located above the console. For the driver, there’s a covered storage bin on the dashboard behind the steering wheel and a steering-column clip for securing a grocery list, photo, or directions to Aunt Betty’s house. The Quest is offered in three trim levels: 3.5 S, 3.5 SL, and 3.5 SE. We were driving the top-drawer SE model, which features a Skyview Roof — four skylights extending over the second and third rows. Running between the skylights is an airline-style overhead console with reading lights, storage compartments, and two optional DVD screens (so kids in the third row don’t get feel deprived). On the roomy comfort front, the Quest is about as good as they get. Sitting in the third-row seat with the second-row seat pulled back as far as it would go, I still had two inches between my knees and the seatback. I reclined in the second seat, slid it back three notches, and had miles of legroom. It was so comfortable I would have fallen asleep. But first I had to inspect the rear audio controls (available with wireless headphones), A/C controls, and power outlets (two in front, two in back). The two rear outlets are oddly located. To use them, a second-seat occupant would have to stretch a cord back to the third row, and with that outlet in use, a third-row passenger would have to stretch the cord to the baggage area. This vehicle is being sold AS IS & the winning buyer will have 10 working days to remove this vehicle from the dealership premises. failure to do so will result in a $20.00 per day storage fee thereafter.

Nissan Friend-Me Concept is cooler than its name

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Here is the Nissan Friend-Me, a swoopy - and let us emphasize that word "swoopy" - sedan-with-a-hatchback developed specifically for Chinese youth in their mid-twenties, the ones born in the '80s mainly bereft of siblings due to China's one-child policy. The exterior is meant to be most imposing at night, when Nissan figures these single children will be getting together with their friends. The sheetmetal looks like it was shaped by waves, and the details like lighting and vent openings could have been penned on Krypton.
The real show is inside, where peers are made equal and can interact with one another via the "oracle stone." The concept is that instead of a driver and three passengers, everyone gets access to the same information and the ability to alter the ambiance of the car - dash readouts are provided for all of the occupants, and anyone can move content from their phones to the in-car screens to be shared throughout. As Nissan says, it's the end of anyone being a "music dictator."
Designed by Nissan Design China for a specific market-within-a-market estimated to contain 240 million potential buyers, Nissan says the wishes of these customers and the ideas in this car could shape automotive offerings for decades to come. So read all about it in the press release below and take some long virtual looks in the galleries of high-res photos.

Recharge Wrap-up: Nissan Murano Hybrid in China, FCA hearts E15

Tue, Aug 18 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has approved the use of E15 in its 2016 model year vehicles. The Renewable Fuels Association is pleased with the automaker's choice to cover the higher ethanol blend in its warranty statements, describing it as a positive signal for the future growth of E15. "FCA's decision to join GM and Ford provides clear evidence that the tide on E15 has turned," says RFA President and CEO Bob Dinneen. "The automaker's decision not to embrace E15 had been a major point of concern and tension for the last three years." Read more from the RFA. Skoda's head of purchasing, Dieter Seemann, discusses sourcing EV components in a new interview. He says the biggest challenge is seeking out future suppliers for electric motor and connected vehicle components. "We have to really understand what happens in this business to identify the right partners to have in five to eight years from now," says Seemann. "Many of these are suppliers completely new to us." He says Skoda purchases 50 to 55 percent of its parts directly, while chassis and powertrain parts are shared among other Volkswagen Group brands. Read the full interview at Automotive News Europe. Nissan is helping the European Commission develop a pedestrian alert system for electric vehicles. Called Electric Vehicle Alert for Detection and Emergency Response (eVADER), the project aims to develop technology that provides audible cues to alert pedestrians to oncoming vehicles without contributing to noise pollution. Nissan created a system for the Leaf that uses a camera to recognize pedestrians and cyclists and direct a sound in their direction. This work will help the EU shape its laws moving forward.

Nissan Claims 'World's Cleanest Car' Crown

Thu, Jul 10 2014

Nissan is claiming the title of "world's cleanest car" by coating a 2015 Nissan Leaf in superhydrophobic and olephobic paint. The paint repels water and oil by creating a protective layer of air between the paint and environment. It rejects water and oils so efficiently that dirt doesn't have a chance to set or streak, according to Nissan. Water and oil bead and wick away from the car's body, leaving the green machine clean. The paint is called Ultra-Ever Dry and it was developed by UltraTech International. It's just an experiment so far that's not yet been added to any production vehicles, but the paint company says Nissan is one of the first automakers to take an interest in the technology. Nissan has been tinkering with the paint for several months, and coated a European Note hatchback to showcase its possibilities. "No matter what the road throws at this Leaf, its Ultra-Ever Dry exterior coating will throw right back," UltraTech International Inc. CEO Mark Shaw told a crowd during a TED talk.
