H Nissan σταματά το Altima Coupe

H Nissan πήρε την απόφαση να διακόψει τις πωλήσεις του Altima Coupe. Το μπροστοκίνητο coupe αυτοκίνητο παρουσιάστηκε στην έκθεση του Los Angeles το 2006, αλλά ποτέ οι Αμερικάνοι δεν το αγάπησαν, παρότι αυτό φορούσε τον V6 3,5-λίτρων κινητήρα απόδοσης 270 ίππων.

After revitalizing sales of the legendary Pathfinder nameplate with the 2013 introduction of an all-new fourth-generation design, Nissan’s iconic SUV takes another major step forward in the 2014 model year with the introduction of the first-ever Pathfinder Hybrid.

At the heart of the new Pathfinder Hybrid – which is offered in 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive configurations – is its supercharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric motor paired to a compact Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. The Li-ion battery fits under the 3rd row seat so there is no compromise of passenger seating capacity, 2nd or 3rd row legroom or cargo space.

The hybrid system uses a Nissan Intelligent Dual Clutch System (one motor / two clutch parallel system) that efficiently manages power from both the electric motor and the gas engine. The 15 kW electric motor and gas engine work in tandem to provide performance equivalent to the non-hybrid Pathfinder’s 3.5-liter gasoline V6.
