Put Your Cash Away: Nissan Leaf's "No Charge to Charge" Program

Nissan Leaf “No Charge to Charge” Program Phoenix AZ

Here’s a quick question, courtesy of Avondale Nissan: what happens when you take America’s hottest 100% electric car, one that has already sold over 110,000 models worldwide (and growing), and decide that not only will drivers receive the benefit of minimal environmental impact and incredible efficiency, but that they will now be able to charge their vehicle for free for two years? That is exactly what Nissan has now done with the Nissan Leaf “No Charge to Charge” program, which is scheduled to launch on July 1st of this year in 10 American cities, including Phoenix.

We still have several months until 2015, but that certainly hasn’t stopped us from looking ahead. Like so many others in the auto industry, we are in collective thrall as the New York International Auto Show gets under way, with promised vehicle reveals and exciting surprises.

Does Avondale Nissan Remind You of the 2014 Phoenix Suns?

Just a couple of weeks ago, we watched the Arizona men’s’ basketball team crash mere inches from the finish line. And, although it’s only a few games in, the Diamondbacks have started slowly, and could use a boost with a tough stretch coming on. However, the Phoenix Suns have been a beam of sunlight at Avondale Nissan, and justly deserve a bit of love from us. After all, if you think about it, the Phoenix Suns and Avondale Nissan aren’t that different.

Nissan GT-R Continues to Thrill Phoenix-area Drivers

Nissan GT-R

Do you like speed? Like, all-out, white-knuckle, lump-in-your-throat fury? For my money, no thrill can match a vehicle that grabs the road with both hands, and loudly announces to all other cars on the road that it has arrived, and that this might get ugly. The 2015 Nissan GT-R, now available at Avondale Nissan near Phoenix, AZ, is just such a vehicle. Want to take a look inside and under the hood?
Let’s admire a few of the things that make the 2015 Nissan GT-R such a unique and beautiful beast. But be warned; this might get ugly.

2014 Nissan Rogue Select Phoenix AZ

If you have been to our Phoenix-area lot at Avondale Nissan in recent months, you undoubtedly have noticed our outstanding 2014 Nissan Rogue Select. Many questions have been asked about the origins and aim of this vehicle, and specifically how it compares to the standard 2014 Nissan Rogue.

Man, You Grew Up Nice: The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder in Phoenix

2014 Nissan Pathfinder in Phoenix

In 2001, I was rewarded for good grades and being an all-around wonderful kid–some opinions on this fact may vary–with my first vehicle, a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder. It was a striking shade of red, and although I didn’t know its previous owners personally, I felt that the inexplicable cigarette burns on the ceiling told me plenty about their lifestyle. I loved that vehicle for each of the 160,000 miles we shared together, and when I sold it a few years ago, it felt like a betrayal. It was a rugged vehicle, definitely, but it was mine.

Looking at the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder in the Phoenix area, it’s impossible to ignore how the seeds sewn in those early years have blossomed into what is fast becoming one of America’s most refined SUVs. When I say that my Pathfinder was rugged, I’m not necessarily bragging. It was loud, it was hard on gas, and certain bumps had a spine-rattling effect.

Nissan Models Frontier and Titan Recognized for their Fuel Economy

Nissan Frontier Titan Fuel Economy Phoenix AZ

When you’re searching for a truck, the list of demands are probably pretty standard. You want something capable of pulling large loads, say, a boat or a trailer. You want to be able to comfortably transport a few adult passengers. You want to be sure that, if duty calls, you can safely travel off-road and carry work materials in the rear cargo bed. But what if, after all that, you still had an impressive fuel economy. According to a recent Edmunds.com list, that’s exactly what Nissan has done. In their “9 Fuel-Efficient Trucks for 2014,” both of Nissan’s impressive trucks, the mid-size Frontier and the full-size Titan, received recognition. But, at Avondale Nissan in the Phoenix area, we were wondering: how did the Nissan Frontier and Titan get recognized for their fuel economy?

Auto Service Phoenix AZ

Living in the Arizona sunshine can often make it seem like there isn’t a care in the world, and we admit, this is often the case. Unlike people in other areas (read: the midwest), we don’t have to worry ourselves much with storms or snow or cold weather. However, one thing we can’t afford to simply shrug off until tomorrow is our auto maintenance, and to call attention to this fact, April is National Car Care Month. Accordingly, the service department at Avondale Nissan in the Phoenix area has specials and coupons to help make your next auto maintenance as quick and easy as possible. And what do we want to pay attention to with our National Car Care Month Auto Service in the Phoenix AZ area? Let’s take a look.

Is This the Year for the Arizona Wildcats?

Is This the Year for the Arizona Wildcats?

We are through one week of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and we’ve already seen our share of shockers. (Sorry, Witchita State. We had to.) An assortment of the so-called “blue-bloods” have already fallen on their faces, with the likes of Duke, Kansas and Syracuse–all ranked #2 or higher at some point this season–watching from the miserable confines of their respective dorm rooms. Meanwhile, some fresh faces have shown some grit as well, with North Dakota State, Mercer and Dayton all turning heads during the first weekend. Of course, in these parts, all of these issues pale in comparison to what we’re really wondering at Avondale Nissan in the Phoenix area: Is this the year for the Arizona Wildcats?

Calling All Students! The Versa Note is Perfect for You!

Versa Note Perfect Student Car

Even though it’s sometimes hard to believe, I was once a college student. These were the heady days of gas-guzzlers and loud engines, when–and I’m dating myself, of course–a gallon of gas cost the same as a bottle of soda. Needless to say, the overwhelming dedication to efficiency that is central to many of Nissan’s vehicles wasn’t yet even a consideration, but the intervening years have taught us quite a bit about the importance of responsible manufacturing, and the result of all these advances is the 2014 Nissan Versa Note, the perfect student car and the hatchback companion to Nissan’s popular Versa sedan.
