Nissan: What's coming in 2009 - - and beyond
Thursday, April 23, 2009
CONFIRMED:
350Z/370Z: The 2009 350Z will roll into dealerships with no major changes. In January, the 350Z coupe will be replaced by an all-new version with a larger engine, the 370Z; the 350Z convertible will remain largely unchanged.

ALTIMA: Sedans get more standard equipment, including air conditioning and speed-sensitive automatic door locks for the base model, while the top-selling 2.5 S comes exclusively with a continuously-variable automatic transmission. The Altima Coupe, introduced in 2008, gets only minor upgrades. Unfortunately, electronic stability control still isn't available on four-cylinder Altimas.
ARMADA: Nissan's king-size SUV sails into 2009 with minor changes in equipment levels and option packages.
CUBE: Previously exclusive to the Japanese market, the New version of the Nissan Cube will go on sale in the US and Canada in the spring of 2009. The Cube is powered by the 1.8 liter 122 horsepower engine from the Versa, mated to either a 6-speed manual or a continuously-variable automatic transmission. One of the Cube's most unusual styling features is the asymmetrical rear window, which wraps around the right side of the car.
GT-R: Nissan's legendary supercar, with its 480 horsepower twin-turbo V6, twin-clutch automatic transmission, and all-wheel-drive, went on sale in 2008 as a 2009 model. Pricing was originally set at just under $72,000, but a late-08 increase raised that to $77,840 -- still a bargain for a car that goes 0-60 in under three and a half seconds.

FRONTIER: The Frontier pickup gets a new front-end design and a new Pro-4X off-road model.
MAXIMA: The all-new version of Nissan's flagship sports sedan is smaller and trimmer than the car it replaces, and features a 3.5 liter V6 feeding 290 horsepower to the front wheels through a continuously-variable automatic transmission.

MURANO: The second-generation Murano follows closely in the footsteps of the first-generation Murano. It keeps the same sleek shape, though front- and rear-end styling are quite different. An improved V6 engine drives either the front or all four wheels via a continuously-variable automatic transmission.
PATHFINDER: Front seat-mounted side (torso) airbags and speed-sensitive automatic door locks are now standard on all Pathfinders. LE models get standard Bluetooth phone connectivity, and some of the option packages have been shuffled around a bit.
QUEST: New speed-sensitive power door locks and a new color, Tuscan Sun.
ROGUE: Introduced as a new model in 2008, Nissan's sensibly-sized SUV gets only minor changes for 2009.
SENTRA: Minor changes, including a revised trunk lid, speed-sensing door locks, and some new paint colors.
TITAN: Nissan's full-size pickup gets automatic speed-sensing door locks. A new option package, consisting of chrome billet grille, chrome step rails and chrome wheels, will be sold as the Heavy Metal package in every state but Texas -- where it will be available as the Texas Titan package.
VERSA: Nissan will launch a new entry-level model, the Versa 1.6, which gets a smaller 1.6 liter engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (in place of the 1.8/6-speed that powers the Versa S) and less standard equipment. With a price tag of $10,685 ($9,990 base plus $695 destination charge), it will be the least expensive car sold in the US. Later in the year, Nissan will add automatic door locks and four new paint colors for S and SL models.
XTERRA: The XTerra gets a front-end facelift, improved seats, and standard two-row side curtain airbags. Standard and optional equipment levels have been shuffled to provide more differentiation between X, S, Off-Road and SE models.
RUMORED:
GT-R SPEC V: A lightweight, more-powerful Spec V version of the GT-R is expected for 2010.
QUEST: New speed-sensitive power door locks and a new color, Tuscan Sun.
