Nissan DUALIS Plus Wider Appeal: Four Wheels Good, Two Wheels.....Good

MY2010 Nissan DUALIS range repurposed and repositioned

WAYVILLE,AUSTRALIA - Aug 5,2009:Nissan extends the appeal of the DUALIS model range, adding a new 2WD version and simplifying the DUALIS AWD line-up. Standard specifications improve and prices now start at a highly competitive $24,990 (plus dealer delivery and on road costs.)

In Detail
Nissan Australia has significantly enhanced the market appeal of the versatile DUALIS family with the arrival of a new front-wheel drive model, DUALIS Hatch.

The DUALIS 2WD Hatch will target buyers of small hatches with strong visual appeal, safety, spaciousness, flexible interior and an attractive entry price; all key factors that have supported the success of DUALIS in Europe since 2007.

The Nissan DUALIS AWD was introduced to Australia in January 2008 in ST and Ti grades. (The ST model was also available with a safety option pack.)

Now, Nissan has reconfigured DUALIS specifications in the Australian market to provide it with unrivalled value.

There will now be DUALIS 2WD and DUALIS AWD models on offer later this month, both of which are available in ST and Ti equipment grades.

The previous DUALIS ST Option pack is now incorporated as standard in the ST variant.

The premium specification of the DUALIS AWD Ti remains unchanged and is shared with the DUALIS 2WD Ti.

The only difference between the DUALIS 2WD and DUALIS AWD is the drivetrain and the price.

The entry model to the DUALIS range, the new 6-speed manual DUALIS 2WD ST Hatch is priced at a value-driven $24,990 (plus dealer delivery and on road costs.)

The 6-speed manual Nissan DUALIS AWD ST model is now priced at only $26,990 (plus dealer delivery and on road costs.)

The DUALIS 2WD ST with the Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission with six-speed M-MODE is priced from $27,490, while the DUALIS AWD with the CVT transmission is priced at $29,490 (both plus dealer delivery and on road costs.)

The Ti specification grades add $3,000 to the price of both the DUALIS 2WD and DUALIS AWD in both manual and CVT transmissions.
