Nissan Motor Co. has announced that it will purchase a 34% controlling stake in Mitsubishi Motors.
The manufacturing of an automobile requires years of research and huge investment just to ensure the fine quality of the product that gets delivered to the final customer. But things are not always picture-perfect if we take the degree of complexity into consideration. Apply Murphy’s law — which states “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong” — to such complex machinery, and there’s bound to be trouble. If a potential safety issue is detected, carmakers take it quite seriously and recall every example that contains the fault and rectify it, one by one. Here are the recalls that occurred in April 2016,
A facelift of the Nissan Tiida hatchback was revealed by Nissan at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show. The new Tiida sports a face different to that of the model currently on sale on our shores, looking like the European-market Pulsar instead. The front fascia resembles the one on the Maxima sedan. Nissan’s signature V-Motion grill is detailed by the swept back headlamps which houses the LED daytime running lights. The black inserts on the redesigned bumper freshens the look of the Tiida.
Nissan has set the Guiness World Records title for the fastest ever drift. The record was broken with a speed of 304.96 kph and 30-degrees angle using a specially-tuned Nissan GT-R. Masato Kawabata, the Japanese drift champion and title holder for the Japanese drifting series, clinched the top spot from former record holder Jakub Przygoński of Poland. The record was set during a special event that took place at Fujairah International Airport, UAE.
A decade has passed since the Nissan GT-R started taunting the supercar giants with its impressive pace and electronic wizardry. Nissan is now debuting a refreshed 2017 version of this mega-machine at the 2016 New York Auto Show.
The flagship sedan from Nissan, the Maxima SR received a blacked-out treatment which Nissan calls the “Midnight Edition Package”.
The Maxima has always been a bit different from the rest of the Nissan line. Touted as a “Four Door Sports Car,” this latest one is more flamboyant than ever.
Nissan introduced the Titan XD a few months ago and it was positioned between half-ton and the three-quarter-ton pickups from other brands. Now at the Chicago Auto Show last week, they have spawned a baby brother for the XD, the standard sized half-ton Titan which is slated for 2017. The half-ton Titan might look like a ringer of its big brother, but Nissan swears that beneath the body panels, it shares close to no chassis components with the bigger model. Apparently even the lug nuts are different.
The Nissan Armada has been dragging on unchanged for more than a decade. While it is nowhere near as legendary as its long shelf-life suggests, the Armada is finally getting a change for the better, as the 2017 model has just been unveiled for the U.S. market at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show — and it’s just become a rebadged Patrol.
