This is the fifth straight year that Nissan has been recognized for the brand consultancy. They were also recognized as the fourth fastest growing brand and the fastest growing automotive brand!
Interbrand chose Nissan for a number of reasons, including their long-term vision for promoting their brand through digital platforms, their new partnerships (like the recent agreement with Microsoft), their product innovation (like the GT-R Nismo), and of course, their commitment customer satisfaction.
“Brand Power has been a consistent focus across the company for the last five years and it is very encouraging that all our efforts continue to be recognized by this influential brand ranking,” said Roel de Vries, corporate vice president and the global head of marketing and brand strategy for Nissan. “The fact that we remain the fastest growing automotive brand is also further proof that the story around our products and our vision for the future of driving is continuing to resonate.”

Nissan Murano is the Best Midsize SUV of 2016
The 2016 Nissan Murano was recently chosen by Cars.com and MotorWeek as the “Best Midsize SUV of 2016.” The Murano competed with the 2016 Ford Edge, 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2016 Kia Sorento, and the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. All five vehicles were put through a rigorous testing process, where editors evaluated the SUVs on a set course and also tested by a family who was in the market for an SUV. Fuel economy was also considered.
“The Murano is the closest option to a luxury SUV in this group, with a level of cabin materials and styling flair that’s largely missing among the others,” said Cars.com Editor-in-Chief Patrick Olsen. “The Murano’s high points extend beyond its quality interior. The SUV is packed with technology and family-friendly features, and thanks to its V-6 power, the Murano is a blast to drive.”
This is not the first award that the Nissan lineup has earned from Cars.com. Earlier this year they chose the 2016 Nissan TITAN XD as the “Best Pickup Truck of 2016” and the 2016 Nissan Rogue as the “Family Car of the Year.” All three Nissan Vehicles are available at Tynan’s Nissan Fort Collins!

“Nissan sponsors many educational programs to help children and youth learn and grow,” said Rebecca Vest, Nissan vice president of Corporate Development and Social Responsibility. “There is no better way to nurture opportunity in the communities where we live and work than to promote literacy and a desire to learn among children from an early age. We are proud to partner with Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation and Tennessee’s Imagination Library.”
The Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation (GBBF) was on the receiving end of a monetary gift totaling $100,000 from Nissan yesterday. Since 2005, Nissan has donated $1.1 million to GBBF in an effort to encourage early childhood literacy in Middle Tennessee. The foundation specializes in providing age-appropriate books each month to preschool children who are enrolled in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library programs in four Tennessee counties where Nissan has a presence. GBBF has distributed more than 26.8 million books across the state of Tennessee.
“We know that early learning and reading skills are absolutely critical for a child’s success in life,” said Theresa Carl, president of GBBF. “Thanks to Nissan’s generosity and commitment, more than 4 million books have been delivered in Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford and Franklin counties since 2004. Our continued partnership with Nissan through the years has made a significant impact on enrollment growth and on the lives of the thousands of children served by this program.”

National Drive Electric Week Is Next Week
“Nissan is a driving force in the plug-in vehicle industry, with the top-selling electric vehicle, Nissan LEAF, and with investments in charging infrastructure and consumer education,” said Tom Saxton, Plug In America’s Program Manager for National Drive Electric Week. “Nissan’s support of National Drive Electric Week helps Plug In America with our efforts to rapidly increase adoption of EVs of all kinds in cities across the U.S.”
From September 10th through the 18th, we will be celebrating National Drive Electric Week. It only makes sense that Nissan is at the forefront of this promotion since the Nissan LEAF® is the top-selling electric car in history. All over the country, ride-and-drives, educational opportunities, and more will take place to encourage people to go electric.
For those everyone who already owns and drives a LEAF® we hope that you join us and continue to tell others about the positive experiences that have come from going green. Regardless of whether or not you drive electric, you are still more than welcome to join in on the festivities.
