Test Drive a Chicago Rogue

April 30, 2012 By

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.

April 9, 2012 By

2011 Nissan Murano Cross Carbiolet

The following used car dealer Chicago review was posted on Google by burtbanks412.

 Where to begin? I have been working toward getting myself a car. My parents offered to help me out, but I wanted to do it independently. I start my senior year at the end of August and couldn’t wait to get it. a few weeks ago I started looking and found a gem (so I thought). I bought a car from the internet, and was super excited. It was a Nissan Sentra. The day after I got it, it wouldn’t start. I tried everything I know, but nothing helped.

I took it to Western Ave Nissan, where my father goes. The service department delivered the bad news. The car had all sorts of issues from, mechanical to electrical. I was devastated. My father happened to run into the salesman that he got his car from. He told him the situation and he said he would be right back. Todd came back and asked if I would like a new Sentra. I looked at my dad and said I don’t think I can afford it.

Todd asked if we had a few minutes and said let’s take a walk. He showed us a base model last year car with an excellent rebate. He ran my credit and there wasn’t much there but my dad offered to co sign for me. They took my car that was in service and helped us out.

 They gave me most of what I paid for it. Going from a teenager to a young man this car is my first real responsibility. I’m so glad that Western Nissan was able to help me with the purchase, I will learn a great deal from this experience. Thank You

The Nissan Altima was one of those releases.

The Nissan Altima received five stars for side impact ratings this year. Not only is it a very safe vehicle to drive but it is a nicely packed vehicle also. Visit your local Nissan dealership for a test drive.

 

The 2012 Nissan Altima is presented in a choice of eight colors for the exterior this year. These colors give each and every Altima owner a nice variety to choose from. Also some options packages include a nice sunroof and specific rim choices to further customize your Altima to your tastes. This year’s Altima is also being presented with the choice of two different engine sizes this year. First, we have the 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder 175 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm 180 lb-ft @ 3,900 rpm which produces torque. The next engine that is available for the Altima is the 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 270 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 258 lb-ft @ 4,400 rpm produced torque.

Adhering to stylishness and functionality the Altima has been dressed with a nice rear spoiler, a full set of well crafted High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon headlights. I was actually drawn to the UV-reducing solar glass. It just seems like the sun is spouting a whole lot more extra Rays these days with all of the solar flares and stuff you can never be too safe you know, don’t forget your sunscreen it’s almost summertime!

The 2012 Murano is packed with extra options, like a full navigation package to name one. The new Murano comes available in six exterior color combinations to help you customize your new 2012 Nissan Murano Cabriolet to your desires. Nissan Chicago is bringing to light the term innovation without boundaries. The 2012 Nissan Murano Cabriolet is the first crossover in its class having an automatic convertible top. The smooth lines accent the movement in the convertible top, giving it a sense of motion even when it is sitting still.

The 2012 Murano Cabriolet is equipped with the latest in propulsion technology, containing a choice of two sporty motor variations, starting with the VQ35DE which provides a 3.5-liter, DOHC 24-valve V6 engine, capable of 260 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and Torque 240 lb-ft at 4,400 RPM . The Murano is also available in the CC model, sporting a VQ35DE 3.5-liter, DOHC 24-valve V6 engine, 265 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, Torque 248 lb-ft at 4,400 RPM. Both models are paired with a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS) transmission. The Murano is also available in Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and also Intuitive All-Wheel Drive (AWD). This provides the driver with many options to choose from even under the hood. Smooth gear shifting is provided by the Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which makes for an enjoyable ride. This innovative Chicago Nissan system makes shifting under power almost unnoticeable. These mechanical features are clearly evident during driving the new 2012 Nissan Murano.

The Murano Cabriolet is equipped so well with top of the line propulsion technologies that this collection of technology makes it possible for the new 2012 Nissan Murano to achieve a whopping 18 city miles per gallon/ 23 highway miles per gallon. It’s hard to overlook the Chicago Nissan because it has so many practical features along with looking super awesome in your driveway.

Another nice set of options come into play in the interior of the new 2012 Nissan Murano Cabriolet. First off, the Nissan Chicago moon roof option is superb, giving way to about 75% of the roof to a panoramic view of the sky. With that panoramic view and amazing amount of cargo space, the Murano is the perfect vehicle for a mid-sized family to sit comfortably, even on a long summer vacation trip for the whole family.

The 2012 Nissan Murano Cabriolet is totally equipped with today’s top of the line safety features. These safety features are backed by the United States certified safety commissions, and the Chicago Nissan Murano has received top ratings across all classes. All around, this vehicle is hard to overlook when it comes to quality engineering and design. As I review my thoughts concerning all of the technology features on the interior and all of the driving assistance systems, I can conclusively say the Murano will be around for a long time to come.

2012 Nissan Cube Chicago Dealer

November 17, 2011 By

At Western Avenue Nissan we have all the facts on New and Used Nissans. We found some great information on the Nissan Cube!

Cubism traditionally refers to an early 20th-century style of art, popularized by Picasso, in which artists abandoned traditional perspectives in favor of the interplay among geometric shapes, interlocking planes and collage motifs. The Nissan Cube, one of the latest additions to the growing segment of compact, blocky hatchback wagons, is dressed up with an eclectic blend of curved styling cues, an asymmetrical rear window and ovoid front-side windows. Picasso would’ve dug it.

Whether the 2012 Cube is at the vanguard of this automotive cubist movement, or is just riding its coattails remains to be seen. Offered in four trim levels with a manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the four-door Nissan Cube offers a smooth four-cylinder engine and an airy cabin with ample headroom and legroom. Its real-world cargo-carrying ability is disappointing, though, much less impressive than the diminutive Honda Fit’s. This deficiency plus the 2012 Cube’s overly soft handling relegates it to midpack status among compact wagons.

Nissan Cube

The 2012 Nissan Cube is a compact four-door hatchback wagon offered in base, S, SL and chrome-bedecked Krom Edition trim levels. Motivation comes from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that produces 122 horsepower, joined to either a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT. Base-level Cubes come standard with head curtain airbags, air-conditioning, power accessories, a 60/40-split sliding rear seat and a CD player. Higher trims offer frills like alloy wheels, keyless ignition/entry, cruise control, upgraded audio (with iPod/MP3 capability), a rearview camera and automatic climate control. Customizing Cubers can tempt themselves with a mind-numbing multitude of factory- and dealer-installed accessories that include body kits and interior styling mods.

Along with its attention-grabbing exterior design and park-anywhere footprint, the 2012 Nissan Cube boasts a tall, spacious cabin. Headroom and legroom are plentiful for all occupants, and the rear seat slides fore and aft. If you need to carry people and cargo, though, the Cube won’t hold as much out back as some rivals, particularly with the rear seat in its rearmost position, which is required for adult-sized legroom. Subpar dashboard plastics also cheapen the experience.

>>>For more details see Western Avenue Nissan Chicago<<<

Enjoying the sprightly 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and the smooth, responsive CVT. Other than a gentle ride, those are pretty much the only driving highlights, though; the Cube’s high center of gravity and soggy suspension simply can’t keep up with an eager right foot, and its steering is numb and slow-witted. If you tend toward the slow and steady, you may not find much to complain about. Other competitors, however, inspire far more confidence when changing directions. Overall, even for fans of these compact bricks-on-wheels, the basic Nissan Cube is an unremarkable effort.

 

We at Western Avenue Nissan look forward to serving your Nissan needs and we hope that we can help you with your next new Nissan or pre-owned Nissan purchase. We have helped customers from South Holland, Oak Lawn, Blue Island, Evergreen Park, Burbank, Calumet City, Alsip, Chicago Ridge, Hickory Hills with their Nissan needs and we look forward to helping you too.

2012 Nissan Armada Chicago

October 12, 2011 By

I think I became the neighborhood’s best mom the other day when I purchased a 2012 Nissan Armada from our Chicago Nissan dealership. The sales staff were great, answering all of my questions, which was no small feat, let me tell you. I’m one of those moms that asks a billion questions of everybody and I’m pretty sure the PTA hates me.

Anyhow, I was in the market for a new vehicle, so I went to my Chicago Nissan dealer to check out what they had on hand. I found a really nice 2012 Armada, and with the third row seating and overhead console with multiple storage bins, it was the perfect pick for a lady with three children.

 

So, like I said, I bought the 2012 Armada, and just in the nick of time. You see, our community has an annual harvest festival that all the children in the neighborhood absolutely love. When my kids saw how roomy the new Nissan was, they promptly invited a friend apiece to ride with us. Needless to say, their parents were ecstatic to have a free evening and I was pleased to be able to seat everybody in the spacious 2012 Armada.

We all loaded up around 5:30pm, after a not-so-nutritious pizza dinner delivered from the local Papa John’s — hey, it’s tough enough to cook for three, much less six children. Anyhow, the kids enjoyed all the space they had, despite what seemed to me a near constant bickering amongst themselves. You know, “He’s looking at me,” and the like. I can remember doing that with my sister when I was younger, but for the life of me I cannot figure out why. It seems to be one of those things that kids just do.

Anyhow, we got to the harvest festival and the children all piled out and made a beeline for the front door. Upon gaining entry, they scattered, meaning I had an interesting night of wandering around making sure they were all in fairly close proximity.  Three hours of that and I was ready to go, even if they weren’t, so I began rounding them up. Out we all trooped to the parking lot, the kids each bearing loaded bags of candy. One of them had even won the cakewalk, and she was carrying a pound cake that looked bigger than her.

When we got back to the 2012 Nissan Armada, I thanked my lucky stars for having remote keyless entry and a very handy cargo area lamp. Those two features made what could have taken an hour only take minutes. Safely inside, we all strapped in and got settled for the child drop-off route, as I took the children that weren’t mine back to their respective houses. Then, my kids and I cruised back to our house.

If you’re in the market for a great family vehicle that gives you the height to see over traffic and feel super-safe driving your little bundles of joy around, give the 2012 Nissan Armada a try. Western Avenue Nissan is located at 7410 Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60629. You can find them online at www.westernavenissan.com or give them a ring at (877) 211-6924.
