2018 Energy Star Partner of the Year
By autointernetmedia | Posted in Nissan Leaf on Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018 at 4:02 PM
Nissan is always making strides to be energy efficient and help out the environment. From creating all-electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf to using efficient technologies like LED lighting, Nissan is making their vehicles more eco-friendly. Nissan is also making their operations eco-friendlier. Because of this, the US Environmental Protection Agency is giving Nissan the 2018 Energy Star Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award.
Globe Newswire explains the award further, “The 2018 Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Awards are bestowed upon companies and other organizations demonstrating continued leadership in energy efficiency and commitment to the ENERGY STAR program. Winners hail from small, family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 organizations – representing energy-efficient products, services, new homes, and buildings in the commercial, industrial and public sectors.”
However, this isn’t the first year the EPA has recognized Nissan’s efforts. This is the seventh consecutive year that the EPA has awarded Nissan for their commitment to improving energy management.
What has Nissan done to receive this energy star award? This award goes to companies that make their operations more energy efficient, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and educate about energy.
According to Globe Newswire, “Nissan’s efforts to reduce energy usage include switching to more efficient technologies like LED lighting, engaging all employees in energy management, and including energy efficiency in design, such as an environmentally friendly paint process that has cut energy usage by more than 30%.”
If environmental issues are important to you, take notice of the steps Nissan has taken to improve its vehicles and operations to make them more energy efficient. You can also upgrade to a Nissan and help the environment out as well. The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric vehicle, so it is not gasoline-powered. It helps reduce the harmful emissions produced by vehicles.

The 2019 Nissan Altima will feature some new and impressive technology. One of these technology features is Rear Automatic Braking that helps drivers see if there is something in their way when backing up. Another big technology feature is the ProPILOT Assist.
According to Nissan, “The new Altima follows the 2018 LEAF in embodying the vision of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, making vehicles more desirable by re-defining how they are driven, powered and integrated into society. A key component is ProPILOT Assist, a single-lane “hands-on” driving assistance technology that eases driver workload by reducing the amount of driver acceleration, steering and braking input under certain driving conditions, such as single-lane highway driving. ProPILOT Assist is standard on the 2019 Altima SV, SL and Platinum grades.”
The 2019 Altima also has some updated engine options. The standard engine found in the 2019 Altima will be a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder that gives you 188-horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. Another engine option is the VC Turbo 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder. This engine gives you 248-horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
As for the exterior of this vehicle, the new Altima is 1.1 inches lower, 1 inch longer and 0.9 inches wider. It also has some added exterior style.
“Among available exterior features are the V-motion grille with dark chrome finish, LED projector headlights with Daytime Running Lights, LED fog lights, a “floating” roof with slim pillars and a single-panel moon roof. Exterior color choices include deep-tinted Scarlet Ember red, which changes hue with the light, and Sunset Drift orange, which has a unique reflective pigment,” explains My San Antonio.

All Electric Nissan Crossover Confirmed
By autointernetmedia | Posted in Electric Nissan Vehicles on Monday, April 30th, 2018 at 3:46 PM
Crossovers and SUVs are really popular these days among consumers. People like the versatility that comes with a crossover. These vehicles give you space for passengers and cargo, towing and hauling capability and a fun driving experience.
On the other hand, electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf are also growing in popularity. That is why Nissan is working to produce an all-electric SUV.
According to Electrek, Nissan’s all-electric crossover “was unveiled in October last year and Nissan claims that the concept is powered by two “high-output electric motors” at the front and rear, enabling all-wheel-drive. The dual motors have a combined power output of 320 kW and 700 Nm of torque.”
The Head of Nissan Design in Europe is Mamoru Aoki, and he says that this crossover will be in production in a couple of years. It will be based on the IMx concept that has been shown.
But what will this all-electric crossover look like on the inside?
According to Electrek, Aoki also said, “The interior is notably bigger than with a conventional vehicle and there’s much more usable space, thanks to the totally flat floor allowed by the [underfloor] battery pack. The dashboard is also pushed right back [towards the windscreen] because the HVAC [heating, ventilation and air-con] unit is under the bonnet.”
What do you think? Are you ready for an all-electric crossover? It might be time to get ready because Nissan is getting ready to build you one. The IMx concept should be a pretty new vehicle, and while it won’t come out for a few years, it is definitely something to keep on your radar.

Nissan Altima Surprises at Auto Show
By autointernetmedia | Posted in 2019 Nissan Models on Friday, April 27th, 2018 at 3:56 PM
The Altima is one of Nissan’s most popular vehicles, and we definitely understand why. This sedan offers you a great driving experience, a comfortable and stylish space, and some great technology to keep you connected. The next-generation Nissan Altima is coming your way soon. What do we know about the next-gen Altima?
This vehicle was shown at the New York Auto Show on March 28. We don’t know all the details about this all-new 2019 Altima, but Nissan has let a few things slip about this vehicle. Check out some of the things we know so far below.
What We Can Look Forward To
According to Road Show, “During a recording of Autoline After Hours, a weekly auto industry-focused internet show, Nissan’s Christopher Reed alluded to the sixth-generation Altima receiving an important new feature in its arsenal: all-wheel drive. Reed, who is vice president of components engineering at Nissan Technical Center North America, was actually on Thursday’s show to talk about the 2018 Leaf EV.”
Reed let slip what may be a great feature on the Altima, but other than all-wheel drive, what can we find on this vehicle?
Features for the New Nissan Altima
Road Show discusses some of the possible features on the next-generation Nissan Altima, “Along with available AWD and a host of new safety and convenience features, we’re expecting for the new Altima to gain markedly more aggressive styling, likely influenced by Nissan’s Vmotion 2.0 concept a show car that debuted at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.”
The next-gen Nissan Altima seems like it is something to be pretty excited about. We will keep you updated about the new Altima, and we will let you know when we have it in stock.

Old Leaf Batteries Being Put to Good Use
By autointernetmedia | Posted in Electric Nissan Vehicles on Thursday, April 26th, 2018 at 2:08 PM
Are you trying to take better care of the environment? Nissan definitely is. For a while now, the Nissan Leaf has been a popular Electric Vehicle that many people are excited about because it is eco-friendlier. Now, Nissan is thinking ahead about how to reuse old Nissan Leaf batteries instead of having them go to waste.
According to Engadget, “Nissan is using old Leaf batteries in a very meta way: To power streetlights that will make roads safer for vehicles and pedestrians. Called ‘The Light Reborn,’ it uses a solar panel that charges up a battery, which can then power the LED at night with no external connection required.”
The streetlight powering project isn’t officially up and running yet, but they are doing some tests to see how well this project is getting along. The tests will occur in Namie, Japan, which was abandoned after the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Powering streetlights is a great way to utilize old batteries. However, you may be wondering, do these batteries have other possible uses? It turns out they do!
Nissan has been working up ideas for their old batteries for a while, but the street lights is a new option for them. Other plans and ideas they have for these old batteries are for buildings and homes that use wind or solar energy. These batteries would store energy and release it in the event of a power outage.
Engagdet also explains some of the other ideas for old Nissan Leaf batteries, “Another is to use the batteries for ‘smart booths’ that could power cellphones and other devices. Finally, Nissan unveiled a whimsical scheme, ‘a park converting the bursting energy of children into electricity while they play. Children’s energy during the day keeps the park bright and safe at nighttime.’
There are many great reasons to buy a Nissan. One of those reasons is how eco-friendly these vehicles and the company can be. We can’t wait to see what other ideas Nissan comes up with to reuse materials.
At Woodfield Nissan, we care about the environment, and we care about you. If you are looking to upgrade to a new Nissan, come down to Woodfield Nissan and check out our selection. We can help you upgrade to a new Nissan like the all-electric Nissan Leaf or other vehicle options like the Nissan Rogue.
Nissan Rogue: A Smart SUV at an Affordable Cost
By autointernetmedia | Posted in 2018 Nissan Models on Wednesday, April 25th, 2018 at 6:14 PM
The Nissan Rogue is a popular SUV. In fact, it is Nissan’s best-selling vehicle in America. It is an affordable vehicle with some great space and some great features. Want to know why people are loving the Nissan Rogue? Find out more below!
The LA Times weighs in on the 2018 Rogue, “Nissan’s 2018 Rogue is a sprightly, affordable SUV that has the option of the company’s ProPilot Assist driving system. It’s the first Nissan vehicle to offer the program, which will also be available in the 2018 Leaf. That means it’s one of the least expensive SUVs on the market with adaptive cruise control, steering assist, braking assist and warnings for lane straying, rear cross-traffic and pedestrian detection.”
What’s the Cost?
As the LA Times said above, the Nissan Rogue is a very affordable SUV. This vehicle comes in at a starting price of $25,380, and you get a lot for your money with this vehicle.
The 2018 Rogue has features like the above listed safety features as well as traction control, Siri “Eyes Free” voice command system, LED headlights and more. In the 2018 Rogue, you also get the ProPilot system. What is this system? Let’s find out!
The LA Times explains, “ProPilot functions like a smart, adaptive cruise control. It will maintain freeway speed and keep a safe distance between other cars, as on most similar systems. But it will also do most of the steering, asking only that the driver’s hands be on the wheel at all times and nudge the steering periodically, when prompted, so the system knows the driver is alert.”
As you can see, this is a technologically advanced vehicle. It comes with a lot of great features, and the price tag is very affordable. The 2018 Rogue also gives you a good amount of power and performance. The base-level Rogue gives you a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gas engine that gives you 170-horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque.
