Technology has bloomed exponentially over the past decade, especially in the mobile phone sector. Alongside this trend, the technology available in new vehicles, and even the technology that powers new vehicles is continuously advancing. One of the latest trends is connectivity between smart phones and automobiles.
The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric vehicle with zero emissions. The new Nissan Leaf Android application created by Nissan allows you to connect with, control, and monitor your Leaf from anywhere. The application gives you live readings of battery status, charge time, estimated driving range, and even access to the climate controls all from your Android phone. The application also has the option to text you alerts when certain events occur. For instance, letting you know that your vehicle is fully charged, or low on charge.

Of the many great crossovers available at the Nissan dealership, the 2012 Murano satisfies the needs and desires of nearly any driver. Available in four trims from S to LE, there is also a unique fifth option—the CrossCabriolet. This all-wheel drive, convertible crossover is the first of its kind, and it offers a unique and freeing experience. Take a look at all the ways the new Nissan Murano steps up in the crossover market.
Comfort
When viewing the 2012 Murano from the outside, you can see that it has the appearance of a luxury vehicle. Upon stepping into the crossover, it shouldn’t be surprising to find a luxurious interior to match the body. The seating and steering wheel are covered in fine, double-stitched leather. The surfaces inside the Murano are mostly made from soft-touch materials. Ambient lighting is available at night, while the dual-panel moonroof can be opened at any time, so both front and rear passengers can enjoy fresh air. Despite the weather outside, dual-zone automatic climate controls, and an advanced ventilation system keep the entire cabin at your desired temperature. The front seats, rear seats, and steering wheel all have available heating as well.
Technology
Moving into the technological side of comfort, the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and outside mirrors can all be adjusted to desired settings, and then save those settings. Technologies such as Nissan’s refined push-to-start technology and Intelligent Key are more than convenient. With Nissan Intelligent Key and the Murano’s power tailgate, loading and unloading is as easy as the push of a button.
Performance
The 2012 Murano is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine. The 260-horsepower motor provides strong power while delivering 24 mpg on the highway. The standard continuously-variable transmission ensures this power is smooth, and greatly increases efficiency. The perfect ride is achieved with Nissan’s advanced all-wheel drive technologies. Hill-start assist, stability control, and most importantly, torque vectoring technology allow perfect traction in every condition. All these performance features come together providing a comfortable ride, while giving the right amount of power when needed.
