    Nissan Unveils Fleet of New ‘Star Wars’ Vehicles

    Nissan rolls out in force at the Los Angeles Auto Show as they unveil their fleet of new ‘Star Wars‘ vehicles. Previously, Nissan unveiled a single Star Wars-themed vehicle, but this year it has seven. Unfortunately they aren’t for sale, but instead they’re meant to draw attention to the brand.

    To promote the movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story a Nissan Rogue SUV, Nissan’s best-selling model, was turned into a Star Wars fighter. After the success of the promotion, this new line promotes the next Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi.
    Check out the video below:

    The Stars Wars theme extends from an Altima sedan that is now a TIE fighter to a Titan pickup as the AT-M6.

    Here is how Nissan describes the seven:

    2018 Nissan Altima as Special Forces TIE Fighter.
    It has custom wheels, a full-body wrap plus the dual wings of the fighter. It also makes blaster sounds.

    2018 Nissan Maxima as Kylo Ren
    It is meant to be sinister with red headlights and underbody lighting made to look like a light saber.

    2018 Nissan Maxima as Captain Phasma
    The Captain Phasma Maxima is meant to be more feminine in keeping with its character. It is a “celebration of female strength,” Nissan says.

    2018 Nissan Rogue as Poe Dameron’s X-wing with BB-8
    Does your SUV have its own droid? BB-8 peeks out of the back of this one.

    2018 Nissan Rogue Sport as the A-wing.
    This one has dual thrusters at the rear, which are lit up. It also has blue wheels and laser cannons.

    2018 Nissan Titan as the AT-M6
    Probably the most impressive of the bunch, this AT-M6 is the largest vehicle in the First Order’s arsenal for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

    2018 Nissan Maxima as Kylo Ren’s TIE Silencer
    This Nissan Maxima is meant to duplicate Kylo Ren’s TIE Silencer with laser cannons and missile launchers affixed to the vehicle’s distinct wings.
