Aggressive Pricing Set for Redesigned 2001 Nissan Frontier
4 August 2000
210-Horsepower Factory-Installed Supercharger Models Priced at Just $1,900 Above Comparably Equipped Normally Aspirated V6 Models
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. - Nissan North America, Inc. announced pricing for
the dramatically restyled 2001 Nissan Frontier compact pickup at a news
conference at the Nissan Technical Center North America. Just 15 months after
launching the industry-first four-door Frontier Crew Cab, the entire Frontier
lineup receives a modern new look and four new supercharger-equipped models,
designated "SC," are added for 2001.
With significant exterior, interior and content additions, pricing for the
2001 Frontier (excluding the new SC model) has increased less than 1.5 percent
on a weighted basis across the model lineup.
Prices for the expanded 14-model Frontier line range from a Manufacturer's
Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $11,699 for the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder equipped
Frontier XE Regular Cab 4x2 with 5-speed manual transmission to $25,099 for
the top-of-the-line supercharged 3.3-liter V6 equipped SC-V6 Frontier Crew Cab
4x4 with 4-speed automatic transmission.
The SC model, which will be available in November, is priced just $1,250
above a SE Crew Cab and $1,900 above a SE-V6 King Cab (this pricing includes
the $699 Power Package on the King Cab) -- hundreds of dollars less than
competitive supercharger packages.
The supercharger model comes with standard 17-inch alloy wheels and
P265/55 tires. Also available is a Supercharger Value Package priced at
$1,549, which includes charcoal leather seating surfaces with red stitching,
vehicle security system, flip-up glass sunroof, tilt steering wheel,
premium AM/FM/CD audio system featuring a 6-disc in-dash autochanger and a
leather-wrapped steering wheel with cruise and audio controls.
"Frontier has always been one of the true value leaders in the compact
truck class -- a tradition that continues with the exciting new 2001 lineup,"
said Bill Kirrane, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. "Our
new supercharged V6 engine is not only one of the first available factory-
installed supercharger in class, it's the most attractively priced."
The 2001 Frontier features bold, industrial-look styling with new front
and rear fascias, grille, a 2-inch higher hoodline, new fenders with large
flares, new front fog lamps, a new tailgate and badging. The interior has
been enhanced with a new instrument panel cover, new gauges, a new steering
wheel and new fabrics and colors and available leather appointed seats and
trim. New audio systems include an available AM/FM stereo with an in-dash
6-disc CD changer and steering wheel audio controls.
Frontier continues to break ground in the compact truck class as the first
to offer a factory-installed supercharged V6. This engine produces 210
horsepower and 246 ft-lbs. of torque with the automatic transmission and is
available in 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive, King Cab or Crew Cab, M/T or A/T
Frontiers. All supercharged Frontiers include 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels
with P265/55R17 tires, tuned suspension, power windows, door locks and outside
mirrors, unique interior cloth and special badging. Individual model pricing
follows.
