Nissan Announces 2002 Frontier, Xterra and Sentra Pricing

  - Crew Cab Long Bed Only $550 Increase, Xterra No Increase, Sentra Remains
                                 High Value -

    GARDENA, Calif., Aug. 10 Nissan North America, Inc. today
announced pricing on its 2002 Frontier compact lineup, Xterra SUV and Sentra
sedan, which go on sale next week at more than 1,100 Nissan retailers
nationwide.  The new Frontier Crew Cab Long Bed features an MSRP of only
$550 higher than a Frontier Crew Cab regular bed and Xterra remains the
affordable authentic SUV with a starting MSRP of $17,999 -- the same as the
2001 model despite exterior and interior enhancements.  Sentra XE starts at an
MSRP of only $11,799.

    Other 2002 models include the well-equipped Frontier King Cab which starts
at an MSRP of $12,799; Frontier Crew Cab, which starts with an MSRP of
$18,199; the volume Sentra GXE model starts at an MSRP of $13,749; and the
new-for-2002 SuperCharged Xterra, which is offered in a 4x2 XE model at an
MSRP of $22,799.

    Complete pricing and trim levels are available on the attached sheets.

    2002 Frontier

    Frontier enters the 2002 model year with a choice of 19 different models,
including King Cab, Desert Runner, Frontier Crew Cab and Frontier Crew Cab
Long Bed, 4x2 and 4x4 drive configurations and XE, SE and S/C (supercharged)
trim levels.  The "biggest" improvement made to the 2002 Frontier lineup is
the introduction of the Frontier Crew Cab Long Bed, which adds a 74.6-inch
full-size bed to the four forward-hinged full-size door cabin for a
$550 increase over the standard Frontier Crew Cab with a 56.3-inch bed.
Nissan remains a step ahead of the competition by giving the Frontier customer
a choice of two bed sizes on a four door compact truck, bringing a new level
of utility for the Frontier owner.

    Frontier's interior enhancements, which are shared with the improved 2002
Xterra sport utility vehicle, include a new instrument panel with three
"cockpit-style" round gauges, new HVAC controls, a new console with side map
pocket, 25 percent larger glove compartment and the replacement of the
dash-mounted pull-and-twist parking brake with a more traditional
foot-operated pedal system.

    Optional on Frontier Crew Cab and Frontier Crew Cab Long Bed is a Rockford
Fosgate-designed 300-watt 9-speaker audio system with an in-dash 6-disc CD
player.  This system is available for an MSRP of $549, hundreds less than a
comparable aftermarket audio system.

    2002 Xterra

    All 2002 Xterras feature new front end styling with round headlights, a
new front fascia with the Nissan flying "V" grille, round fog lights and a new
hood with a 48mm raised "power bulge" center section to clear the way for the
newly available supercharged V6.  Other exterior enhancements include new
17-inch wheels with P265/65R17 tires (SuperCharged SE model).  Inside, Xterra
shares the same improvements as the Frontier truck, including a new instrument
panel and foot-operated parking brake.  A first-aid kit is still available on
XE and standard on SE models.

    Optional on both XE and SE Xterras is a factory-installed supercharged
3.3-liter V6 engine.  This engine, shared with the Frontier S/C compact truck,
produces 210 horsepower and 246 (A/T) / 231 (M/T) lb-ft of torque.  It uses a
Roots-type blower developed in conjunction with Eaton Corporate and is fully
warranted by Nissan.  Xterra is the first compact SUV to receive a
factory-installed supercharged engine.  The SuperCharger engine option adds
approximately $1,000 to comparably equipped XE models and $1,300 on SE models
(including special 17-inch wheels and tires).

    2002 Sentra

    Nissan continues to refine the fifth generation Sentra sedan, with
evolutionary changes including more standard features on Sentra GXE such as
Remote Keyless Entry, 60/40 split fold-down rear seat and rear heater ducts.
Three new option packages on Sentra GXE include the Synergy Package, with
cruise control, fog lights and rear spoiler.  Two new exterior colors are also
available on GXE -- Mystic Green and Molten Silver.

    The Sentra SE-R sports sedan, with an available 175-horsepower 2.5-liter
4-cylinder engine, 6-speed manual transmission and special exterior and
interior styling, will go on sale in October 2001.

    In North America, Nissan's operations include automotive styling,
engineering, consumer and corporate financing, sales and marketing,
distribution and manufacturing.  More information on Nissan in North America
