As we begin to edge into fall and the warmer months turn to cold months, a driver’s worst nightmare of icy road conditions, skidding, and whiteout snowstorms slowly come closer and closer to becoming a reality. At Mentor Nissan, we know just how stressful winter driving can be for drivers in the Painesville, OH area. However, on our showroom, you will find some well-equipped new Nissan cars, as well as pre-owned Nissan cars on our lot that will make driving in winter conditions a whole lot safer and stress-free. We have compiled a few of our favorite vehicles at Mentor Nissan that will help you get through the winter.

2016 Nissan Rogue

The trusted 2016 Nissan Rogue is an all-year favorite, but especially shines when it comes to driving in those unpredictable and treacherous winter months. The Nissan Rogue model’s intuitive All-Wheel Drive uses its technological capabilities to detect loss of traction during black ice or a snowstorm and change the direction of the torque to safely regain traction without effort from the driver. Active Engine Breaking and Active Ride Control are available on all trim levels and adjusts the acceleration and braking systems to create a smooth ride whenever you happen to go over potholes or anything large on the road.

2016 Nissan Frontier

The 2016 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab is a pick-up truck that was made to take on the snow and ice and come out victorious. Snow plows connect easily to the Nissan Frontier, making it easy to remove large amounts of snow in roads or driveways with this multi-talented force. Vehicle Speed Sensitive Power Steering adjusts the sensitive of the power steering to the speed you are going, which helps you take control of the roads and not let the roads take control of you. Towing capabilities also allow the option of helping other vehicles out of being stuck in the snow, making the Nissan Frontier a true winter weather hero.

2014 Nissan Pathfinder

The Nissan Pathfinder is another winter weather SUV powerhouse that excels in reliability and manageability when dealing with winter weather. If you search through our pre-owned Nissan, cars you will find one of our favorite winter vehicles, the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder at Mentor Nissan comes stocked with 235/65-18 and All-Season Tires, so you won’t have to worry about changing your tires to your winter set in order to handle the heavy tire use that comes with cold weather driving. Its Four Wheel Drive mechanisms handle well in all consistencies of snow, including, heavy, wet and slick, and powdery.
