Gates Nissan of Richmond

While we might not all share the same favorite new Nissan model, Gates Nissan of Richmond thinks we probably all agree the brand is cut from the cloth of overachievers.

Of course, we're not complaining by any means. Nor do we suspect many Nissan owners in the greater Richmond, KY areas are. The result has been a standout collection of cars defined by truly innovative entertainment, safety, and in-car connectivity technologies.

Now, we can

Looking for a vehicle with lots of cargo space to haul tools, material or knick-knacks? Then you should look into the new Nissan work van, the new Nissan NV200 soon to be available at Gates Nissan of Richmond. You will also be pleased to know, that even before being available on the market, the electric version of the Nissan van , the e-NV200 received the  Environmental Award by Van Fleet World Magazine at the 2012 Fleet

Before you buy a car, most drivers will most likely get information about all the specs and certainly take at least one test drive. But have you ever wander what a new Nissan goes through before it gets on Gates Nissan of Richmond, KY lot?

Whether you're shopping for a rugged Nissan Altima or a fuel efficient Nissan Leaf, rest assured it went through serious testing of all sorts.

To show customers all the

The redesigned 2013 Nissan Altima was recently unveiled in China, but under a different name. Presented as the 2013 Nissan Sylphy overseas, the new sedan was shown off at this year's Beijing International Auto Show. The unveiling of the next-generation Nissan Sentra is a pretty big deal, as it's the latest part of a larger plan from the Japanese automaker.

As Brian Carolin, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, NNA explains "Sentra is

As much as the team here at Gates Nissan of Richmond  loves the way Nissan has design the LEAF, the truth is that American drivers expect different things from their vehicles than many European drivers do. As such, Nissan has decided to take the current model LEAF, the one that is sold around the globe, and develop a Euro-spec version. Another difference between it and the EV you'll find in our showroom: it won

While many automakers jumped on board the hybrid train a few years ago, Nissan leapfrogged straight to electric vehicle technology. The success of this move is well-evidenced by the widespread recognition for the Nissan LEAF. In the meantime, hybrid technology developed at a breathtaking pace, and Nissan has only barely had time to catch up.

But, we must say, they've done so quite well. Their innovative one-motor, two-clutch hybrid system provides all of the

Of course you know that the Nissan lineup is full of extremely safe vehicles like the IIHS Top Safety Pick 2012 Nissan Versa. Plus, each Nissan vehicle comes standard with Brake Override Technology, an advanced airbag system, traction control, Vehicle Dynamic Control, Zone body construction, and tire pressure monitoring. But, Director of Product Safety, Bob Yakushi explainsthat Nissan is working towards a future of zero accidents, and ultimately, zero fatalities, with the help of their

So where are we at with the 2013 Nissan Altima? We've seen an overhead shot teased, along with a peek at its front fascia. We've seen a shot of the car leaked in a promotional video, and of course, our spy photographers snapped the car in a conventional disguise, but got a good look at its interior in the process.

Now Nissan comes with this, a brief video that shows off the Altima's new hind end. Like most every sedan on the market these days, it looks like the fourth-best-selling vehicle of 2011 will be getting a bit of a Bangle butt. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) We do get the first really good view of the Altima's taillights, which have a bit of Lexus spindle thing going on.

We'll have to wait until the New York Auto Show on April 4-5 to see the full reveal, though we wouldn't put it past Nissan to eke out another shot or two of the car before then.

Click on the image above to enlarge, then feel free to see the very brief video yourself below.
