The 2010 Nissan Lineup: Charting the Changes
While many manufacturers continue to dial back on their product development activities, Nissan continues strong into the 2010 model year
with the introduction of the all-new 370Z Roadster and additional refinement of popular Nissan vehicles such as the Altima, Sentra, Versa,
Armada and Rogue. These changes, of course, are in addition to the late 2009 model year introductions of the dramatic Nissan cube®,
which went on sale in May, and the June debut of the new NISMO 370Z.
Following is a brief overview of the changes, refinements and enhancements to the complete 2010 Nissan lineup. Full information
and specifications on each vehicle will be available, as always, closer to each model’s on-sale date.
2010 NISSAN SPORTS CARS
Nissan’s potential pair of iconic sports cars continues to grab headlines for the 2010 model year with the early introduction (March 2009)
of the revised GT-R and the ongoing expansion of the Nissan Z® stable.
After winning near universal acclaim in its rookie year, including being named Motor Trend “2009 Car of the Year,” Automobile magazine’s
2009 “Automobile of the Year” and winning a Kelly Blue Book’s kbb.com “2009 Best Resale Value Award,” the GT-R supercar gains five additional
horsepower for 2010, along with standard front seat-mounted and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags.
The all-new 370Z Roadster joins the GT-R, the all-new-for-2009 370Z Coupe and newly introduced 2009 NISMO 370Z in late summer – creating
a veritable “fantastic four” of affordable, high-performance sports cars.
Details on each vehicle follow.
2010 Nissan GT-R After completely changing the
paradigm of supercar design and performance in its first
year of availability in North America, the affordable,
“anyone, anytime, anywhere” Nissan GT-R returns for its
sophomore year with an enhanced 2010 model featuring a
number of small yet important updates – including five
additional horsepower, a revised suspension, revised wheel
finishes and standard front seat-mounted and roof-mounted
curtain side-impact supplemental air bags.
The 2010
Nissan GT-R is available now through nearly 700 official
“GT-R certified” Nissan dealers across the United States.
The names and locations of local GT-R Certified Nissan
dealers are available to consumers on NissanUSA.com.
Revisions for 2010 include:
- 5 additional horsepower, raising the horsepower
rating of the GT-R’s 3.8-liter twin turbo V6 engine to
485 hp (from 480 hp)
- New Transmission Control Module (TCM) programming
for the high-performance 6-speed dual-clutch
transmission – designed to optimize clutch engagement
for improved drivability and improve vehicle
acceleration with the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) on
(activated)
- Updated braking system, with more rigid brake lines
for improved durability and the brake calipers now carry
both the Brembo and Nissan logos
- Suspension retuned with redesigned Bilstein? shocks
with a new valve body design and revised spring and
damper rates
- Revised wheel color (slightly darker high-luster
smoke finish) for the base GT-R’s 20-inch RAYS forged
aluminum-alloy wheels
- New near-black metallic wheel finish for the GT-R
Premium model (the smoke wheel finish comes with the
Cold Package)
- One new color, Pearl White, is offered and the Super
Silver exterior color has been enhanced and now includes
a polished front bumper
- Revised compound for the Dunlop summer tires
- Standard front seat-mounted and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact supplemental air bags
2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster The all-new 2010 Nissan
370Z Roadster joins the 370Z Coupe and new NISMO 370Z in
Nissan showrooms nationwide in late summer 2009. The Z®
Roadster, like the Z® Coupe, offers an unmatched balance of
dynamic performance, sculptured styling, innovative
technology and exceptional value.
Based on the
current generation 370Z Coupe (introduced in January 2009),
the Z® Roadster shares its engine, transmissions,
suspension, platform and most major components with the
popular and exceptionally well-reviewed Z® Coupe. The list
of cutting edge technology includes the standard
332-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve
Event and Lift Control (VVEL), choice of 7-speed automatic
transmission or close-ratio 6-speed manual with available
SynchroRev Match™ (the world’s first synchronized downshift
rev matching manual transmission), refined 4-wheel
independent suspension, 4-wheel vented disc brakes (with
available Nissan Sport Brakes) and lightweight yet rigid
body structure.
The Z® Roadster departs from the Z®
Coupe with its exclusive, available high back net seats,
added structural body reinforcements and convertible top.
The 370Z Roadster’s standard power automatic latching top
was designed with an emphasis on three key areas: to provide
a sleek silhouette matching the new Z®’s stunning styling
with the top up or down, to offer easy single-action
open-close operation, and to provide an enjoyable top-down
experience with reduced wind turbulence and all-climate
driver/passenger comfort.
Other features include
standard Nissan Intelligent Key™ with Push Button Start and
available heating and cooling ventilated net seats,
Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, satellite radio and
advanced Nissan Navigation System.
The 2010 370Z
Roadster is offered in two models: 370Z Roadster and 370Z
Touring Roadster.
2010 Nissan NISMO 370Z The all-new, second
generation NISMO Z®, which went on sale in June 2009, offers
unique performance and design attributes that true sports
car enthusiasts are looking for – straight from the
factory. The NISMO 370Z features 350 horsepower and 276
lb-ft of torque, racing-inspired exterior and interior
styling, a specially tuned suspension and special
super-lightweight forged alloy wheels.
The NISMO
370Z’s standard 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve
Event and Lift Control (VVEL) combines with a refined
4-wheel independent suspension and advanced FM (Front
Midship) platform to offer responsive performance and
handling. The NISMO Z®’s exclusive H-configured exhaust
system design, muffler tuning and optimized ECM (Engine
Computer Module) control help provide responsive upper end
power.
As expected of a true performance machine,
the NISMO 370Z is offered with only one transmission – a
close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with standard “SynchroRev
Match,” the world’s first synchronized downshift rev
matching manual transmission (which allows perfectly matched
heel-toe-like downshifting).
The NISMO 370Z also
features a NISMO-branded strut tower brace for enhanced body
rigidity and a pair of performance dampers to manage
road-input vibrations and help contribute to the NISMO
370Z’s high levels of stability and performance feel. The
NISMO-tuned suspension includes special springs and
stabilizer bars. Unique 5-spoke 19-inch RAYS forged
aluminum-alloy wheels are mounted with Yokohama ADVAN Sport
Y-rated high-performance tires. Nissan Sport Brakes and a
Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD) are also standard
on all NISMO 370Zs.
Along with its standout
performance, the new NISMO Z® stands out from the crowd with
its dramatic performance-oriented exterior and interior.
The functional and fully integrated aerodynamic body pieces
include an extended front nose with a canard design at each
corner for improved downforce and a fully integrated chin
spoiler. Special side sills and a unique rear bumper help
control airflow under the vehicle, while the functional rear
spoiler also increases downforce.
The interior
includes NISMO logo seats with black and red fabric and red
stitching, a NISMO tachometer, steering wheel with smooth
leather and red parallel stitching, smooth leather-wrapped
shift knob and aluminum trimmed pedals. A serialized plaque
of authenticity is also matched to each NISMO Z®,
identifying its unique serial and model year designation.
There are no changes for the 2010 NISMO 370Z from the 2009
model.
2010 Nissan 370Z Coupe Following the total
redesign of the iconic Z® for the 2009 model year, changes
for 2010 are minimal – an enhanced Nissan Navigation Package
with XM NavTraffic® Real-Time Traffic Information (XM®
subscription required, sold separately), Bluetooth®
Streaming Audio and automatic phonebook download (select
phones), 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive and a Bluetooth®
Hands-free Phone System. The 2010 370Z Coupe also receives
standard heated mirrors and in-cabin microfilter, along with
one new exterior color.
The 370Z will again be
available in two models, 370Z and 370Z Touring, each
available with a standard 332-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6
engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) and
choice of 6-speed manual transmission with an available
SynchroRev Match™ synchronized downshift rev matching system
or a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Crisp handling is once again provided by a refined 4-wheel
independent suspension.
