It's Nissan's time to upgrade its model portfolio with the release of its 2010MY range for the US market. Besides those 2010MY vehicles such as the refreshed GT-R with 485HP that are already available for sale, the Japanese automaker has updated most of its models by adding new features and color options. For example, the 2010 370Z Coupe gains standard heated outside mirrors and an in-cabin microfilter (as if Nissan had to wait for the 2010MY to add these features...) while the Black Cherry exterior color replaces Chicane Yellow.
Same goes for most models with the exception of the Altima Sedan, Coupe and Hybrid variants that will receive "refinements to the exterior, interior and option packages", according to Nissan. The automaker said that it will release specific details on all three models closer to their on-sale date in fall 2009.
For those of you that are interested in learning more about the changes on a specific 2010MY Nissan, just scroll down to check out the lengthy official press release.

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 Frontier
The Nissan Frontier, a no-compromise pickup forged with premium hardware, extraordinary power and off-road athleticism, continues to be a leader in the mid-size truck segment. Updated just last year with a new front fascia, grille and headlight design and new machine-finished 16-inch wheels (PRO-4X) and new 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels (LE), the changes for 2010 are limited to upgraded standard safety and security equipment and one new exterior color.
Frontier continues to offer an exceptional level of on- and off-road performance with the use of a 4.0-liter DOHC V6 engine with horsepower, torque, towing and payload specifications that are second-to-none in the mid-size truck class. A 152-horsepower 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine is also available (King Cab only). With its strong performance, combined with good fuel mileage (17 city, 21 highway, King Cab 2WD), the Frontier is a fitting truck for work or play. Frontier is offered in both King Cab and Crew Cab body styles and in 4x2 and 4x4 driveline configurations. The 2010 Frontier goes on sale in August 2009.
Revisions for 2010 include:
- Standard side and curtain air bags on all models (4-cylinder and V6-equipped models)
- Standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) on all V6-equipped models
- 5-speed automatic transmission now available on Frontier XE models
- 2-wheel or 4-wheel Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) added as standard for all SE and LE V6 models
- Standard Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control now standard on all SE and LE 4WD automatic transmission-equipped models
- One new exterior color – Night Armor
Nissan Quest
The Nissan Quest will continue to be sold as a 2009 model throughout fall 2009. Additional information on Quest revisions and timing will be available at a later date.
