AC Dealers

Did you ever think you’d see the day when you could purchase a hybrid sports car from your Nissan automobile dealers in New Jersey? That day has arrived.

One of the common misconceptions that Nissan had to overcome was that hybrid owners want everybody to know they are driving a hybrid. Automakers thought this was true until recently. The major automakers in the industry now offer hybrid versions of their most popular models and the only difference is that they have a “hybrid” marking somewhere on the body.

The 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid, which is available at your local Nissan dealer near Cherry Hill and throughout the country, is a good example of proving this misconception wrong. If you didn’t look for the badges strategically placed on the body of the car, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the hybrid version and the gasoline-powered version of the 2008 Altima.

Although the Altima is one of Nissan’s sportier models, it still contains hybrid technology that gives it better fuel economy and other features that people desire with a hybrid. It also has the “get up and go” that you’d expect from a sports car.

Now that you know how to spot a hybrid and non-hybrid Altima, why not visit your Nissan automobile dealers today and get the one that meets your needs?

Your Chevy dealership knows that gas is a commodity that you just can’t live without. No matter how high or how low gas prices get, you have to be able to get to and from work and to all of the other places you need to be.

It’s tempting, when gas prices are high, to think about dumping your current vehicle for one that’s more fuel efficient. While there are plenty of fuel efficient vehicles at your Chevy dealership, there are some things you can do with any vehicle to save some money on gas.

First of all, you should try to plan your travel. If you can, avoid the busiest travel times so that there will be less starting and stopping while you drive. In addition, you should plan how you want to pay for gas. A credit card or gas company card that gives you rebates is a great way to earn some of that fuel money back.

There are some maintenance issues that will help you save gas, too. Keeping your oil changed and your tires inflated, for example, can really save you gas over time. Make sure to follow your manufacturer’s recommended schedule for maintenance.

How you drive impacts your gas use, too. Driving at a constant speed uses much less gas than slowing down and speeding up. Using cruise control on the highway is a wonderful way to maintain a consistent speed. You should also consider driving a bit slower, as this uses less gas, as well.

If you’re looking for a more fuel efficient vehicle, come see your Berlin area Chevrolet dealer. We’ve got plenty of vehicles that get great gas mileage and will save you money at the pump.

Your Nissan NJ dealership wants to encourage you to read the owner’s manual of your car to get a better idea of how to take care of it properly. Your owner’s manual is often the most forgotten resource for your car when it comes to preventative maintenance and repairs.

Although it’s the most forgotten source of information for your car, it’s also the best source of information. I took a few minutes today and browsed through the owner’s manual for my car and found several helpful hints that I didn’t know about before. For instance, I didn’t know I could turn the “Change Oil” light off without ever changing the oil. I know that’s not recommended, but I know I can do it now if I ever want to.

The owner’s manual also tells you where to find the vital fluids and parts underneath your hood. It tells you which fluids to use for refilling and what to look for if you think the fluids are leaking. The manual also tells you how to tow a trailer with your car, change a tire and many, many other important things you need to know about your car.

So if you don’t know where the owner’s manual is for your Nissan, call your local Nissan dealer or your local NJ dealership. It won’t be an exciting read, but it could save you some time, worry and frustration in the future.

One of the challenges faced by General Motors when it comes to building fuel efficient vehicles has been the strong hold that Toyota has on the hybrid market. The Toyota Camry hybrid, for example, is perhaps the best selling midsize hybrid on the market.

The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid was designed specifically to compete with the Toyota Camry Hybrid. The 2009 model of the Chevy Malibu Hybrid is even better-positioned to compete with the Toyota product. For one, the gas mileage has increased greatly in the city, and the highway rating matches the Camry at 34 miles per gallon.

The 2009 Malibu Hybrid also offers buyers at New Jersey Chevrolet dealers more choices and styles. Touring tires are now standard equipment, along with 17-inch ultra bright aluminum wheels. There are five colors available for the 2009 Malibu Hybrid: Silver Ice Metallic, Summit White Metallic, Gold Mist Metallic, Golden Pewter Metallic and Silver Moss Metallic.

The Malibu Hybrid operates using a nickel metal hydride battery. In addition, it comes with General Motor’s standard five-year/100,000 mile power train warranty.

Come check out the new Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid at your local Chevrolet dealer today. A true competitor, this vehicle will save you money at the gas pump while you lessen your footprint on the environment at the same time.

Even though gas prices are starting to go down a bit, consumers are still concerned about buying cars that aren’t fuel-efficient. That’s why Nissan is working on making its Versa and Infiniti G models even more efficient than they are already. As such, you’ll be able to find them at your Nissan dealers NJ before long.

According to Nissan, engineers have been able to squeeze a couple more miles per gallon by tweaking the transmission in the Versa CVT and Infiniti G. The Versa’s transmission was simply refined to get better gas mileage and the latter switched from a six-speed transmission to a seven-speed one.

As a result of the refining and changes, the Versa CVT currently gets 27 miles to the gallon in the city and 33 on the highway. The Infiniti G gets similar ratings.

Consumers might think these figures are insignificant, but they’re not. According to Larry Dominque, the vice president of product planning for North America, said increasing fuel economy often reduces a vehicle’s performance. “You can give up a little,” he explained, “but you don’t want to change customers’ expectations.” That means automakers have to try to increase fuel economy without sacrificing power or else consumers are going to lose interest in their product.

With the increasing efficiency and performance of the Versa and Infiniti G, why not check one out at your local Nissan dealer today? You’ll be glad you did!

One of the things that has, in the past, kept some people from buying a hybrid vehicle has been the extra expense. A hybrid can cost quite a bit more than a non-hybrid version of the same car. Even with gasoline around $4 per gallon, it still takes years for a hybrid to pay for itself.

To encourage people to buy hybrids in the past, the government in the United States has offered tax credits to buyers of hybrid vehicles. A new round of those same type of tax credits have recently been signed into law.

The tax credit requires purchase of a vehicle with a minimum battery of 6 kWh. The base tax credit is $4,168. The maximum credit will be $7,500, however, for the Chevy Volt. The Volt will have a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery.

The Volt is designed to be a plug-in hybrid. It gets its power from a 150 horsepower electric motor. In addition, there is a 1.4 liter gas engine that is used to recharge the battery pack. The Volt will be able to go as far as 40 miles without having to be recharged. Owners who have less than a 40 mile per day commute could, in theory, never have to buy a drop of gas.

The tax credit should help make sure that the Chevrolet Volt is affordable.

Don’t wait for the Volt in 2011. Chevrolet has many models of car that already get more than 30 miles per gallon. Come see us at your local New Jersey Chevrolet Dealer today.

In 2010, you’re going to see some exciting new models at your local Nissan NJ dealership. One of the more intriguing models that the automaker is developing is the Nissan Pixo.

The Pixo is Nissan’s answer to the city car genre. It was recently unveiled at the Paris Motor Show last month and has an actual release date set for Spring 2009. If you’re waiting for this model, here are some things you can expect when it comes out next year.

• The Pixo was “the smallest of the Nissan debuts.” It measured only 11 feet 8 inches in length and nearly five feet tall. However, it can still accommodate four adults comfortably.
• The fifth door on the Pixo is ideal for allowing car occupants in and out without disturbing the other passengers.
• The Nissan Pixo has a rather small engine. The 1.0 liter, three-cylinder engine comes with either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. The three cylinders give the car about 65 horsepower under the hood, which is ideal for driving around the city and getting around easily.
• The Pixo will be available in the European market within the next year. However, Nissan has not announced an official release date for the North American.

Although they’re not available yet, you can still visit your local Nissan dealer and get more information or find another fuel-efficient car that meets your needs.

GM’s recent release of the production version of its Chevy Volt, the long-range plug-in hybrid expected to be released in 2011, has garnered a lot of attention in the past few weeks. In addition to the Volt, however, Chevrolet has released plans for another vehicle, also to show up at Chevrolet dealers in 2011: The Chevy Cruze.

The Chevy Cruze will feature an “arching roof-line of the Cruze that extends from the steeply raked windshield to its sloping rear pillars and short rear deck, bringing coupe-like proportions to a compact sedan, ” according to PR Newswire.

The Chevy Cruze is designed to be a compact yet roomy and stylish sedan. This will be a global product for General Motors, and it is expected that the Cruze will be built on four continents. As such, the Chevy Cruze is an important part of Chevrolet’s global strategy.

The Chevy Cruze is part of an effort by Chevrolet to brand itself as a global brand powerhouse, rather than a  parochial American brand, much like Ford has done in recent years.

It is expected that the Chevy Cruse will sell hundreds of thousands of units each year during the next decade.

Why wait for the Chevy Cruze? Come on down and see us at your New Jersey Chevrolet dealer today, and we’ll help you find the right Chevrolet to suit your needs.
