The crossover sub-compact SUV has gained in popularity year after year, and Nissan has been leading the way with the Rogue Sport. It fits nicely between the smaller Nissan Kicks, and it's big brother the Nissan Rogue. In 2020 Nissan is going all out, equipping every Rogue Sport with their Safety Shield 360 Technology.  Here are some of the safety features you can enjoy on the all-new 2020 Nissan Rogue. Automatic Emergency Braking With Pedestrian Detection Nissan uses advanced radar technology to monitor the speed and distance of the vehicle in front of you. It alerts you if you need to slow down, and will automatically apply brake pressure if it detects a collision is imminent. It can even stop you when it detects a pedestrian in your path. more When backing up, the Rogue Sport's Rear Automatic Braking system senses stationary objects you might not see. It will automatically stop the vehicle, lessening or preventing the impact of a possible collision. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert System This system uses the same technology to monitor the areas around the rear of your Rogue Sport. The Rear Cross Traffic Alert system is particularly useful in that crowded parking lot. Backing out of a parking space your Rogue Sport scans the area behind your vehicle. If it detects an approaching vehicle it will alert you, saving a potential collision. Blind Spot Warning System Highway driving always presents potential hazards as cars drive at high speeds. The Blind Spot Warning system uses technology to monitor the road to either side of your vehicle. When it detects a vehicle entering a blind spot it alerts you with audio and visual cues. These cues give you direction, allowing you to make safer driving decisions. Lane Departure Warning System Most people have taken a long drive before. Road trips are fun, but they can often lull a driver's attention. Other distractions also happen, both inside, and outside the vehicle. If little Johnny spills his drink in the back seat and starts crying, that can be very dangerous to the driver whose attention is now directed not at the road, but at little Johnny. The Lane Departure Warning system monitors the lane you are in. Should your attention wander, leading to your vehicle drifting from its lane, the vehicle will send you visual and audio cues to alert you, bringing your attention back where it belongs. ProPilot Assist Technology The ProPilot Assist feature now offered on the Rogue Sport is Nissan's integration of adaptive cruise control into its suite of driver assist features. The system monitors the vehicle's speed and automatically adjusts based on the traffic situation at hand. There is a lot to like about the new 2020 Rogue Sport. Come out and test drive one today and see for yourself why Nissan's Rogue Sport is the compact SUV you should be driving. Image by Crown Star Images via cc by 2.0

Are you looking for an SUV with some additional features to give you peace of mind on the road? Meet the 2019 Nissan Armada. Safety is essential to Nissan, and they have added the following features as standard equipment on all of the trim levels. Rear Door Alert Nissan has taken a significant step to make sure parents, caregivers, and other drivers check the back seat before you leave your vehicle. The rear door alert system is designed to work with a series of door sensors to remind the driver of precious cargo in the back seat. The sensors are triggered if you open the back door before you start the car, close it, and don't reopen it once you arrive. The sensors send a warning message to the driver on the car's information console and blare six honking horns with a sharp sound to catch your attention. more Intelligent Cruise Control Cruise control is a driver's best friend. It lets you set your speed and relax as the car controls its speed instead of constantly adjusting your feet. Intelligent cruise control one-ups this system by using a variety of sensors attached to the navigation system to help you keep a safe speed and following distance no matter how heavy the traffic is around you. Automatic Emergency Braking Your Armada enables you to avoid accidents with the new standard automatic emergency braking system. It is essential to stay alert at all times, but things happen. If you are distracted or something comes up, it applies the brakes to help avoid a wreck. This system kicks in under any road, traffic, or weather conditions. If you do not make any attempt to stop the vehicle with an obstacle in front of you, the SUV takes over. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning Nissan steps up the accident avoidance game by adding a smart forward collision warning system on top of the automatic emergency braking. This system is designed to alert you if there are objects around the vehicle that should not be there. For example, if the car in front of you stops short or an animal runs out in front of you. Keeping your entire focus on the road is important, and this system steps in to alert you of impending danger. If you do not react in time to avoid the accident, the SUV does it for you. When the intelligent forward collision warning system activates so does the automatic emergency braking. If you do not react with enough time to stop the car under your power, the automatic emergency braking system steps in. The goal of these two systems working together is to help you stay safe and avoid accidents no matter the road, weather, or traffic conditions. Do these features have you dreaming of your next family trip in an Armada? Stop by and see us at Taylor's AutoMax. We'll be glad to get you in one today so you can take one for a test drive.   Image by DealerOn
