Nissan and Honda Partnership – Automakers Shake Hands to Shake Up EVs

Speculated since March, Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda are making their collaboration official. What can we expect from this partnership and how can it impact electric vehicles in the future for the worldwide electric market?

Nissan and Honda’s Partnership Goals

Nissan and Honda are Japan’s second and third biggest automakers, so why would two direct competitors want a partnership? Software. According to the Japan Times, the goal of the move was to catch up with Chinese competitors who had taken a decisive lead in EVs while Japanese companies concentrated more on hybrid cars. Electric Cars are more computer than motor these days and software is a crucial and ever-changing part of the electric vehicle future.

Through this alliance, the two automakers aim to surpass Chinese manufacturers in the Eastern market and globally. Their joint efforts will likely focus on enhancing vehicle function software, and wireless update capabilities, advancing charging infrastructure, developing supplementary products, and innovating in battery technology.

Partnership Timeline

Both Nissan and Honda are staying quiet about in-depth developments, but it’s safe to speculate that since the March announcement, the companies are now settling on the finer details of the agreement. With lower production costs due to the partnership, EV costs to rival Tesla and other aggressive upcoming competitors could translate into higher sales if the lower production costs also translate into lower ticket prices at the dealership.

Ultimately, this partnership is the direct symptom of a worldwide trend of traditional automakers joining to survive and thrive in the EV era. With their resources and minds combined, standardizing vehicle software that’s easy for drivers to learn along with streamlining charging hardware that works with the growing infrastructure of charging stations could transform the electric vehicle market into the dominant fuel type on the road. Whatever happens, we eagerly await to see what will come out of this meeting of the minds.

Nissan Sparks Excitement with Electric Focused Future

Opposing the trend of Japanese manufacturers sticking with internal combustion engines (ICE), Nissan is dedicated to reducing carbon emissions and securing the planet's future through electric vehicles.

Nissan’s Commitment to Electric

Confirmed by Nissan’s VP for Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania regions, Nissan is reaffirming that electric is the way forward. Nissan put forward their plans toward revolutionizing more efficient electric vehicle batteries with stunning amounts of range last month, showing that the future is electric, and Nissan intends to lead the field.

While Nissan isn’t planning on developing new internal combustion engines (ICE) for the markets mentioned above, they do plan to develop the technologies of their new e-Power hybrid systems as a “stepping stone” to full electrification. This is likely due to the continuous development of charging infrastructure around the world. Many countries continue to catch up, but other markets have led the world in electric infrastructure updates.

The implementation of these announcements might not take immediate effect in the United States and other Western markets due to the ongoing development of electric infrastructure. However, Nissan's global push towards electrification suggests that this strategy will eventually extend to all markets, sooner or later.

What This Means for ICE Gas Engines

Nissan isn’t going to stop selling traditional gas and diesel ICE by any means. This news only means that there won’t be any new developments in improving traditional combustion engines. Nissan will likely continue to invest in more efficient hybrid and plug-in powertrains, with electric leading the focus of their research and development efforts.

Nissan hasn’t confirmed when it will phase out combustion engines altogether, but they did say that it will depend on regulations and market demand from region to region. Nissan did announce in September of 2023 that their Europe branch planned to be EV-only by 2030. When will this change come to the United States? We’ll have to wait and see.

Electric Nissans for All

Nissan’s EV future can’t come soon enough but until more is revealed, come sample the best electric vehicles Nissan has to offer at Bush Nissan of Limerick. We offer EVs in all shapes and sizes, with a well-equipped service department to keep your new car running smoothly. Get ahead of the EV curve today by calling or visiting Bush Nissan of Limerick and scheduling a test drive!

What to Do If Your Car Engine Starts Overheating

Though your vehicle always runs the risk of overheating, those concerns intensify alongside the summer's heat. Indeed, Memorial Day has come and gone, and the mercury is set to rise here in Limerick. Yesterday heralded the arrival of Limerick's hot season, with anticipated temperatures already in the mid-80's this weekend. If you're not prepared, your car and its engine could soon be feeling the heat.

It's beyond stressful when your engine overheats, and the potential performance problems this can cause for your Nissan are equally worrisome. Worse still, if you have to pull over in an isolated area, you might end up stranded under the blistering sun. At Bush Nissan of Limerick, we're prepared to assist you in spotting the warning signs of overheating and instruct you on what to do if your engine does heat up.

Recognize the Signs

Similarly to how your engine uses unusual noises or blinking dashboard icons to signal service needs, it will attempt to communicate to you when it's overheating. Here are four signs that your engine could be on the brink of overheating:

  • Plumes of steam that resemble smoke billow from under the hood.
  • A strange, sweet odor emanates from the engine.
  • The engine temperature gauge needle suddenly swings towards the red.
  • The "Check Engine" light or a similar warning light flashes.

Steps to Take if Your Engine Overheats

Turn off the AC and Ramp up the Heat

Though it may appear contradictory, the initial step when your engine begins overheating is to switch off the cool air and crank up the heat. Deactivating the air conditioner lessens the strain on the engine, while increasing the heat in the cabin helps draw heat away from it.

Stay Calm, Locate a Secure Place to Stop, & Shut Off Your Car

In this type of heated scenario, maintaining your cool is vital. Your new 2024 Nissan Murano won't suddenly become a fireball; panicking only increases the probability of making a pricey mistake. Take a calming breath, slow down, and locate a safe spot to pull over. After stopping, turn off the car and monitor the temperature gauge, which should level off as the engine cools.

Plot Your Route to Bush Nissan of Limerick

The importance of fully charging your phone before setting out on any trip cannot be overstated. (So if you're reading this while stranded roadside, sorry this happened, but way to stay charged!) If you're still near the Limerick area, arrange for your car to be taken to our Service Center. Contact our trusted roadside assistance service to set up a tow, if necessary. If your engine has cooled down enough and you think you can reach us without assistance, carefully restart the car and proceed. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge. If it starts to climb again, pull over and let the engine cool once more.

Handle Your Summer Maintenance at Bush Nissan of Limerick

Now that you're equipped to deal with your overheating engine correctly, the root cause of the overheating still needs to be determined. Potential culprits could be a leak in the coolant system, a faulty water pump, low engine oil, among others. To pinpoint the source of the issue, make sure to schedule your service appointment with Bush Nissan of Limerick. Our service experts are ready to tackle your Nissan's maintenance checklist, from regular oil changes to battery diagnostics. As the heat persists, our calm and collected team at Bush Nissan of Limerick will be there for you – because after all, cooler heads always prevail.

The Best Nissans to Buy 2024 Graduates

We’ve reached May’s halfway point, meaning that graduation season is upon us once again. Whether your loved one is graduating high school or receiving their college degree, it’s a time for both emotional farewells and exciting new beginnings. But to get to their next chapter, the graduate in your life will need a trustworthy vehicle. 

If you’re looking to gift your graduate with a new car, truck, or SUV, there are several important factors to consider, including: fuel economy, storage space, technology features, and – most importantly – safety. Whether your graduate is just beginning their college journey or starting post-graduate life, you’ll want to do everything in your power to prepare them for what lies ahead. 

To ensure maximum peace of mind, consider gifting them the Kelley Blue Book-approved Nissan Sentra. If a compact sedan isn’t quite what you had in mind, never fear: Nissan provides a plethora of affordable and practical options for teens and new drivers. Explore the all-electric Leaf, or the fun and versatile Kicks. You’ll find them all in stock at Bush Nissan of Limerick: your new graduate headquarters. 

Top Pick: The 2024 Nissan Sentra 

Whether your graduate recently received their diploma from Ursinus in Collegeville or is just preparing to set off for their first fall semester at Temple, the reliable 2024 Nissan Sentra is here to keep the family connected with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. By combining sporty styling and practicality, the Sentra is ideal for campus life. Its fuel economy is 34 mpg combined, keeping refueling minimal. Plus, the Sentra's comfortable “zero gravity” seats will endear its driver to anyone seeking a ride back to the quads. 

In addition, the Sentra was practically designed to assuage your safety concerns. No fewer than 10 airbags line its cabin, and every version of the 2024 Nissan Sentra comes with SafetyShield 360. This full suite of driver assistance safety features includes: 

  • Automatic emergency braking w/ pedestrian detection 
  • Rear cross-traffic alert 
  • Rear automatic braking 
  • Blind-spot warning 
  • Lane-departure warning 
  • High-beam assist 

Other Nissan Vehicles to Consider: 

2024 Nissan Leaf 

Go green this semester with Nissan’s original all-electric vehicle. With a starting price under $40,000, it’s one of the most affordable EVs on the market. Combine an EPA-estimated range of 123/99 mpg, a zero-emission drive train, and minimal maintenance costs, and the Leaf emerges as the perfect choice for the environmentally conscious student who still needs a practical way to get around campus. Furthermore, the Leaf is the recipient of an NHTSA five-star safety rating.

2024 Nissan Rogue 

Another vehicle with a five-star safety rating from NHTSA, the 2024 Nissan Rogue is perfect for the student looking to transport their entire bedroom to campus. With ample storage space, this crossover SUV provides a powerful means of exploring all that campus life has to offer.

2024 Nissan Versa

The most affordable vehicle on our list, the 2024 Nissan Versa still checks off your two most important qualities: practicality and reliability. It isn't the roomiest option for moving day (though there's plenty of space to throw your laundry for weekend trips home). But if you're facing budgetary limitations, you can do a lot worse than the Versa.

To New Beginnings

Turn your tassels. Toss your caps. Get that terrible Vitamin C song out of your system. Then, begin your post-graduate car buying experience at Bush Nissan of Limerick. 

If you’re looking for a new or pre-owned Nissan for your graduate, you’ve come to the right place. We won't be satisfied until we match your son, daughter, or grandchild with a vehicle that fits their driving preferences and exceeds your safety standards . Sleep easier knowing your graduate is driving a safe, reliable vehicle by visiting Montgomery County’s tried-and-true Nissan dealership, Bush Nissan of Limerick.

Used 30-40 MPG Highway Vehicles for Sale Near Limerick, PA

Used 30-40 MPG Highway Vehicles for Sale Near Limerick, PA

Used 30-40 MPG Highway Vehicles for Sale Near Limerick, PA - With the price we pay at the gas pump having risen so significantly over the last year or so, for many of us it's now more important than ever to drive a vehicle that can squeeze the most miles out of every gallon. Nissan 422 of Limerick, a member of the Bush Auto Group, has always specialized in providing value in fuel-efficient vehicles. Now, more than ever, we're leading the way in providing our neighbors with a special selection of pre-owned vehicles that go easy on your gasoline budget.

Using the filter on our pre-owned pages, you can use the filters to view the selection of vehicles that get 30-40 MPG on the highway. You'll find a nice variety of such vehicles, including popular Nissan models like the Rogue and Altima, but you'll also see vehicles from makers like Honda, Kia, Subaru and even Mini, as well as Ford, Chevy and others.

Benefits of High-MPG Vehicles

You'll see not only sedans but SUVs, many with AWD or 4WD and capable of getting you safely down the road on your highway trip or daily commute in any kind of weather that Mother Nature dishes up, all while the needle on the gas gauge moves ever-so-slowly. And you'll find that many of these high-MPG vehicles have low mileage on the odometer, and a decent complement of the safety and convenience features and amenities that will help you make that highway drive in comfort and arrive at your destination refreshed. On our inventory pages you can see all the details of how these cars are equipped, and you can view the CARFAX history report.

Because these vehicles have already taken their biggest hit from depreciation, they can be purchased at a significant savings over a new vehicle, and when the time comes to sell, their value will be closer to what you paid. Depreciation also works in your favor by making such used vehicles more affordable to repair and to insure.

Nissan 422 Service Center

All these high-MPG used vehicles have been checked out by Nissan 422's exemplary Service Center, where our skilled technicians service all makes and models and will be pleased to perform maintenance and repair on whatever high-MPG used vehicle you choose.

Used 20-30 MPG City Vehicles for Sale Near Limerick, PA

Used 20-30 MPG City Vehicles for Sale Near Limerick, PA - The price of gasoline has roughly doubled what it was a couple of years ago, making driving a fuel-efficient vehicle more important than ever, and especially so if most of your time behind the wheel tends to be in the stop and go of traffic in and around the city. At Nissan 422, we've always offered vehicles that have high MPG ratings for city driving, but now our inventory features a category of used vehicles that have been specially selected for being easy on gas in that kind of driving.

Nissan 422 Fuel-Efficent Cars

If you're feeling the pain of paying more every time you fill up, it's time to switch to a vehicle that uses gasoline more efficiently. One of our used 20-30 MPG City vehicles can help pay for itself in savings every time you gas up. And with that category including popular models like the Nissan Rogue, a compact crossover SUV, and the Nissan Altima, a reliable midsize sedan that seats 5, you can save significantly at the pump without sacrificing comfort, features, or even style.

Use the filters on our online inventory pages to narrow the choices to vehicles that are rated 20-30 MPG City.

You can also check out the CARFAX report on each one, to learn its full history.

Because they are pre-owned, the vehicles in this category are priced significantly lower than new vehicles, and are also more affordable when it comes to insurance and repairs. But since the biggest hit from depreciation has already occurred, they will still maintain a higher proportion of their purchase price when sold or traded in.

Nissan 422 Service Center

Every one of these 20-30 MPG City vehicles has been through Nissan 422's Service Center, which services all makes and models. They've been thoroughly checked out by our skilled technicians, and are ready to give you many miles of fuel-efficient and reliable transportation.
