The Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have been presented and three Nissan vehicles have earned the highest-possible Pick+ rating. With the new rating system, all three vehicles had to earn a “Good” rating in the overlap front, moderate overlap front, side and roof strength IIHS crash tests; offer a front crash prevention system that earns an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating; and earn an “Acceptable” or better rating for headlight visibility. The three models that earned this rating were the 2017 Nissan Altima, Maxima, and Rogue.
“Nissan is proud to have many of our North American-built vehicles recognized by IIHS for vehicle safety,” said Michael Bunce, vice president, Product Strategy and Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA). “As a full-line manufacturer, Nissan places the safety and security of Nissan vehicle owners and their passengers as its top priority. Considering that 85-percent of the vehicles we sell in the U.S. are assembled in North America, we are gratified to see the company’s long-term investment in safety yielding results in these key vehicles receiving high marks from IIHS.”
Head on over to Loughead® Nissan to take a test drive in the 2017 Nissan Altima, Maxima, or Rogue and drive home in one of the safest vehicles in the Nissan lineup!

Ever wondered just how effective the Nissan Intelligent Around View Monitor (AVM) system is at helping drivers to navigate. Well, the brand put the capabilities of this system to the test in an attempt to set a new world record for the first-ever “blind” J-turn. For this stunt, Nissan used the all-new JUKE and the talents of stunt driver Paul Swift and presented him with the challenge of completing a full 180-degree J-turn with all of the JUKE’s windows completely blacked out. This meant that he would only be able to use the AVM system to help him see where he was going in order to successfully complete the turn while remaining inside the preset boundaries that were only 18cm (7 inches) longer than JUKE.
“This stunt is the perfect demonstration of the Nissan brand promise – Innovation that Excites,” said Stewart Callegari, general manager for Advanced Planning, Nissan Europe. “That promise is all about developing technology to make drivers’ lives simpler and safer, and Around View Monitor does just that.”
Watch the below to see the AVM system put to the ultimate test as Swift performs this record-setting stunt!

Nissan Releases “Fan-Fueled Traditions” Video Series
College football is a world that is full of passion and tradition in the players, coaches, but mostly, in the fans. Fans are what fuel sports and the passion and excitement that they bring to each game creates an energy that is felt throughout the stadium and the players on the field. Over the years, teams and universities everywhere have developed their own unique traditions that they take part in that help to keep the spirit of the game alive and make the experience more exciting for the fans.
As the Official Sponsor of 100 college and university athletic programs Nissan is putting a spotlight on several of these traditions through their new video series “Fan-Fueled Traditions”. This series will include 20 videos that each feature the team/fans of a different university and the unique tradition that they take part in that has become part of their legacy.
“Each of these films stars real fans capturing the unique character, passion and heritage important to collegiate sports,” said Jeremy Tucker, vice president, Marketing Communications and Media, Nissan North America. “Nissan proudly extends our sponsorship of college athletics to celebrate the fans who support student-athletes at universities nationwide through the excitement of game day traditions.”
The videos on the Nissan YouTube page beginning now and continuing throughout the first quarter of 2017. You can view two of the first released videos below and be sure to look out for more.

The holiday season is all about giving and Nissan is looking to share in the spirit of the season by teaming up with Toys for Tots!

MotorWeek has released yet other of their famous Retro Review videos and this time that are taking us back to the 80’s with a look at the 1986 Nissan Stanza Wagon. It has been thirty years since this model was first released and it is safe to say that SUVs and crossovers have come a long way in that time. Still, when this model was first released, it was a big step forward for the brand as it offered a vehicle that provided increased interior and cargo space thanks to a lack of pillars separating the front and back as well as van side sliding doors which were a big advancement for a personal vehicle at the time.
Hear even more about this model in the full Retro Review which you can see in the video below!
