Press release via Nissan

2010 Nissan 370Z: The 2010 370Z lineup expands to include the 370Z Roadster. The roadster was an integral part of the Z development plan this time around, and this has big payoffs in terms of structural rigidity and exterior styling. The 370Z convertible still has a cloth top, but Nissan has come up with a simpler, latch-less design for 2010 and there's more cargo space to boot. The 2010 370Z Roadster is available in base and Touring models, and it has the same drivetrains and options sheet as the 370Z coupe. Well, all except for ventilated seats, which are an exclusive 370Z roadster feature.

The Nissan 370Z coupe sees only minor changes for 2010 (though you'll recall the Nismo 370Z was a late 2009-model-year addition to the line). An upgraded navigation system includes streaming Bluetooth capability and automatic phonebook download for paired cell phones. Heated mirrors and a cabin air filter are standard this year. And Chicane Yellow paint gives way to a more mature Black Cherry hue.

2010 Nissan Altima: The grille and headlights are reshaped on all 2010 Nissan Altima coupes and sedans. Nissan has also simplified the trim levels. There's still a base 2.5 sedan for dealers to advertise, but otherwise you have your pick of the four-cylinder 2.5 S and the V6-equipped 3.5 SR on both the sedan and coupe. Stability control is now standard across the board. Inside, the seat fabrics are new. A USB input is available this year as an option, and the navigation system now includes real-time weather updates, streaming Bluetooth and a back-up camera.

2010 Nissan Armada: Nissan has revised the trim levels, so the 2010 Armada comes in a base SE trim, plus Titanium and Platinum special-edition models, all of which are available in two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations. Front-seat side airbags become standard across the board this year; engine mounts are revised; and Lakeshore Slate, Tuscan Sun and Navy Blue are added to the color palette.

Standard feature content on the new Armada Titanium model includes 20-inch wheels (versus 18s on the SE), a self-leveling rear suspension, a power-fold feature for the third-row seat, keyless start, leather upholstery, a Bose sound system, a rearview camera and Bluetooth. The Platinum model adds chrome wheels; a power liftgate; a sunroof; a hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic; a rear DVD entertainment system; and heated seats and steering wheel.

2010 Nissan Cube: After a late 2009-model-year introduction, the Cube sees only minor equipment changes for 2010.

2010 Nissan Frontier: All Frontiers come with side and head curtain airbags for 2010, and all V6 trucks have stability control. All V6-equipped SE and LE models get Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS), which isn't a true limited-slip differential, but a brake-based feature to keep the rear wheels from spinning excessively on low-grip surfaces. Four-wheel-drive SE and LE models have hill start assist and descent control as standard. Night Armor is the sole new exterior color.

2010 Nissan GT-R: Godzilla gets 5 additional horsepower for 2010, so its twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 is now rated at 485. Nissan has reprogrammed the transmission control module (TCM) for the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox as well.

The brake lines have been made more rigid on 2010 GT-Rs, and the calipers now carry both Brembo and Nissan logos. The Bilstein dampers have a new valve body design, and Nissan has fiddled with spring and damper rates. Wheel finishes are darker this year, and the base Nissan GT-R's Dunlop tires have a revised compound. Seat-mounted side-impact and side curtain airbags are standard this year. Pearl White is a new paint choice, and Super Silver GT-Rs now have a polished front bumper.

2011 Nissan Leaf: Although officially a 2011 model, Nissan will begin taking orders for the Leaf in the spring of 2010, and the cars are expected to arrive at dealerships in late 2010.

This five-passenger hatchback will be the company's first mass-production electric vehicle. The Leaf is said to have a top speed of 90 mph, a range of 100 miles per charge with a 30-minute recharge where quick-charging stations are available (six hours with a 220-volt current). Nissan also claims the Leaf will accelerate from zero to 30 mph faster than an Infiniti G37, thanks to 207 pound-feet of torque from its 80-kilowatt (107-hp) electric motor.

Nissan's EV is expected to cost between $28,000 and $35,000 before any government incentives are applied.

2010 Nissan Maxima: Wheel finishes are revised on the 2010 Maxima, and both models now come with Bluetooth. Satellite radio is standard on the Maxima SV. Option packages for the SV model are revised this year. The Monitor package includes a rearview monitor, a 2GB hard drive for music storage, and USB and auxiliary jacks. DVD playback capability, Bluetooth streaming audio and real-time weather updates have been added to the Technology package. Crimson Black and Ocean Gray are new exterior colors.

2010 Nissan Murano: Nissan adds a front-wheel-drive Murano LE model to the lineup and makes keyless start and privacy glass standard across the line. Roof rails and an alarm system are now included on the midrange SL model, while the high-line LE picks up the dual-pane moonroof as standard.

2010 Nissan Pathfinder: A sunroof is now standard on all Pathfinder LE V6 models. If you get the V8 on your LE, you'll have to buy the LE V8 Value package to get a sunroof (said package also includes a rear DVD entertainment system). As consolation, Nissan has made a navigation system standard on the LE V8.

A new Journey package for the Pathfinder SE comes with machined alloy wheels, roof rack crossbars, keyless ignition, a rearview monitor, Bose audio, satellite radio and Bluetooth. Dark Slate is a new exterior paint choice.

2010 Nissan Quest: Nissan will continue to sell 2009 Quests through the fall of 2009, but '09 will be the final year of the current generation. The next-gen Quest will debut as either a 2010 or 2011 model. The new minivan will be built in Kyushu, Japan, as production at Nissan's Canton, Mississippi, plant shifts to commercial vehicles.

2010 Nissan Rogue: Nissan adds a special-edition Krom (pronounced "chrome") model to the Rogue lineup for 2010. It's available in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations, and distinguishable by its horizontal-slat grille, roof-mounted spoiler, center-exit exhaust and, yes, its 17-inch chrome-finish wheels. Inside, the major upgrade is steering-wheel-mounted audio controls. Paint choices are limited to Venom Red, Wicked Black and Gotham Gray.

In other news, all 2010 Nissan Rogues get chrome door handles. There's a new 360 Degree Value package available on the base S model. It includes 16-inch alloy wheels, a back-up camera (with its display integrated in the auto-dimming rearview mirror), privacy glass, a rear spoiler and a chrome grille.

2010 Nissan Sentra: All 2010 Sentras get revised headlights and taillights, and base 2.0, 2.0 S and 2.0 SL models also get an updated grille and fascia design, along with new body-side moldings. Inside, the instrument panel and seat fabrics are revised, and 2.0 SL, SE-R and SE-R Spec V models have a new audio head unit with a USB port.

Cars sold in California-emissions states are PZEV-rated this year, and stability control is standard on the 2.0 SL, SE-R and SE-R Spec V. You can no longer get a manual transmission on the 2.0 S. Option packages are revised this year, and the updates include a Technology package with a rearview camera and Rockford Fosgate sound for the 2.0 SL. The optional navigation package for the 2.0 SL, SE-R and SE-R Spec V provides an SD-card-based navigation unit with real-time traffic capability. New paint choices include Anodized Orange, Aspen White and Espresso Black.

2010 Nissan Titan: Side curtain airbags, stability control and Active Brake Limited Slip (a brake-based feature to keep the rear wheels from spinning excessively on low-grip surfaces) are standard on all 2010 Titans. The PRO-4X model gets standard Bluetooth and a trailer hitch with a seven-pin wiring harness and trailer brake pre-wiring (this is all optional on the SE model), along with a chrome "PRO-4X" badge. Base XE King Cabs get a revised vinyl floor that's apparently easier to clean.

Option packages are also revised for 2010, and Blue Steel and Navy Blue are new exterior colors.

2010 Nissan Versa: Antilock brakes are standard on 2010 Versa 1.8 S models. Stability control is standard on the 1.8 SL and optional on the 1.8 S. Grilles and wheel designs are updated, and the 1.8 SL hatchback gets foglights, new side sills and a desperately needed rear spoiler.

Inside, seat fabrics are updated, and the base audio head unit has an auxiliary jack. Nissan Versas with upgraded audio have iPod connectivity. Option packages are revised, and there's now a package that combines a navigation system and satellite radio.

2010 Nissan Xterra: A manual transmission is no longer available on the Xterra S model. Nissan has made the contents of last year's Technology package (Rockford Fosgate sound, Bluetooth and satellite radio) standard on the SE and Off-Road trim levels.
