Royal Nissan

We'd have to say that one of our favorite models within the new Nissan lineup would definitely have to be the Nissan Pathfinder. This fourth-generation model received improved fuel economy, innovation, performance and style.

If there is one thing we know for sure here at Royal Nissan, it's that our favorite Japanese automaker continues to impress us with its efforts to remain committed to reducing environmental impact. As it continues to expand its new Nissan lineup, its state-of-the-art 250,000 sq. ft. facility in Smyrna, Tennessee needed some enhancements as well. With these changes came greater efficiency and safety for the environment.

Here at Royal Nissan serving the greater Baton Rouge area, we know how important it is to become a part of the green initiative to preserve the environment. Nissan has proven to be at the forefront of this movement, especially with its eco-friendly, energy efficient Nissan Leaf. Nissan recently pushed its environmental commitment further by teaming up with the Nature Conservancy in Tennessee.

Nissan has proven, again and again, their incredible efforts to lower emissions from all of their vehicles. Not only has the all-electric Leaf been a forerunner in EV technology, Nissan continues to developed advanced hybrid technology for other vehicles.

Rumor has it that the supercharged 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder hybrid power plant from Nissan will likely debut in next-gen variants of the popular Altima or the Maxima. Mated with a CVT transmission, an electric motor and…

Since the first one hit the streets in 1907, NYC cabs have been as iconic as the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty. That yellow Crown Vic, due to retire this year, was just one of many cabs to pass through the city - equally as tough and lovable as NYC taxi drivers themselves, some might say.  It takes a stand-out car to make it through the daily grind of the city.
