Test Drive a Chicago Rogue

Nissan has become a major producer for the American automobile market. To keep that status they provide top of the line vehicles at very reasonable MSRP prices. This year has been a very good year for the Nissan manufacturing corporation. They have released give or take about 9 new models on the market for the year of 2012. Coming with a very competitive set of options and accessories, the 2102 Nissan Chicago Rogue fits right in to the bracket. Bringing all of the standard features that have made Nissan the awesome vehicle producer they are today.

To step up the innovation and economic factors of this new CVT system a notch it has been revised again among itself being originally presented in a 6.0:1 the standard ratio for most transmission on that sized motor. The revised version has been given the highest transmission ratio 7.3:1, which is a broader ratio than you’ll find in an average automatic. CVT Logic ensures that the transmission is always in the right gear, which eliminates any wasteful searching for gears or chance of actual transmission slippage as in previous models. This change has brought about a 15% increase in fuel economy and 40% less friction in the drive train due to having less moving parts. To sum it all up its quieter more fuel efficient and the higher-efficiency and 40% reduction in friction allows the car to perform at higher speeds at very low RPMs, practically eliminating all noise from the transmission. It’s highly advisable to setup a Test Drive at our Chicago Nissan Dealer

Besides being such a technically savvy vehicle the Rogue has a very presentable silhouette and exterior design to it. Seemingly a tad bit different from the rest of the SUV-Crossover class the Chicago Rogue presents itself with a nice contoured shell that comes with a on roof cargo rack system that actually pays for itself. When not enjoying the sunroof option you can load as much cargo on the roof as you could a small U-Haul trailer for no extra cost.  The 2012 Nissan rogue is Innovative and economical to say the least. What better time to purchase a new Chicago Rogue at your Chicago Nissan Dealer; than right now?

2.5 Liter Double Over Head Cam (DOHC) 16-valve four cylinder engine that produces a reasonably sufficient 170 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm Torque 175 lb-ft @ 4,400 rpm. There are slight variations depending on the purchaser’s needs things like Front-Wheel Drive (FWD), two or four wheel Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) are optional depending on the particular trim model you decide to purchase. Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) is a very nice addition to the drive train because it takes away from the jerky transition between gear shifts that could spill your coffee in the morning commute to work. This is very innovative technology invented by the Nissan manufacturing corporation. Last but not least the fuel efficiency is 23 miles per gallon 28 city miles per gallon highway on the Front Wheel Drive (FWD) model. The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) model efficiency pans out to 22 miles per gallon city 26 miles per gallon highway. Come down to your Chicago Nissan Dealer and get a look at one today.

2012 Nissan Maxima

The 2012 Nissan Maxima is definitely entertaining the technology innovation in this year’s model. The Maxima comes in three models this year. The variations are designed to provide a wide range of options and accessories to fit everyone’s needs. As time progresses the ability to be adaptable seems to be the determining factor in a successful vehicle design. The 2012 Nissan Maxima has achieved this factor quite gracefully in this year’s models. I’ll give brief information about features and option packages across all four models.

2012 Nissan Maxima

The three models that are currently being sold in the 2012 Maxima’s lineup are the 3.5 S this model entails, a  290-horsepower 3.5Liter V6 engine, 18″ aluminum-alloy Fine Silver finish wheels, power sliding moon roof, Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Ignition, auxiliary audio input jack, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control (ATC), power front seats, piano-hairline trim and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Traction Control System (TCS).  It’s a striking contrast on the interior design. The 2012 Nisan Maxima is definitely worth taking a Test Drive and one of our fine Nissan dealers in Chicago would love to set up an appointment.

 

Next in the lineup is the 3.5 SV this model taking a little more consideration to the interior design concerning ergonomics. It contains Refined plus extras: fog lights, outside mirrors with LED turn signal indicators, digital Bose® audio system with 9 speakers (including 2 woofers), SiriusXM Satellite Radio, HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, leather-appointed seats, driver’s seat adjustable thigh support extension, power lumbar support and digital compass in rear view mirror. The next time you’re in Atlanta I highly recommend that you test drive a Nissan in Chicago.

Third in line is the 3.5 SV with Sport Package which has all of the previous options with a beefed up sport tuned suspension , 19″ aluminum-alloy Hyper Silver finish wheels with P245/40VR19 tires, rear spoiler, paddle shifters, High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon headlights, dark finish sport grille, smoked headlights and interior metallic trim. This particular package is for the driver who likes to lean into their curves, preferring a little windswept look about the hair. I recommend bringing a brush when you test drive this one.

Last but not least,  the 3.5 SV with Premium Package subtly drops all of the previous models into the basket and then nonchalantly dawns a Dual Panel Moon roof with power retractable sunshades, rear-window power sunshade, premium mood lighting, 7.0″ QVGA color display with Rear view Monitor, USB connectivity and Atlantic Cherry wood-tone trim. Something about the way a full moon shines on a cherry wood finish. To tell you the truth it gives me goose bumps. If you’re ever in the morrow area take the time to come to the best Chicagoland Nissan dealership and take a test drive.
