Press Release :

Nissan's Re-imagined New Global Sedan

World Previewed at Beijing

Beijing (April 23, 2012) - Nissan

Motor Co., Ltd. today revealed an all-new global sedan along with three

zero-emission concepts at the 2012 Beijing International Automobile Exhibition,

joining the selection of production models.

Highlights of the

Nissan show:

All-new global sedan featuring elegant modern

design and one-class-above cabin comfort smartly balanced with Nissan's advanced

technology. The new model will premiere in China as the next-generation Nissan

Sylphy.

Three zero-emission concept vehicles: PIVO 3, a smart urban EV of

the near future; ESFLOW, a pure EV sports car; and e-NV200, a versatile EV small

van.

Advanced technology exhibit showcasing Nissan's leadership in

zero-emission mobility and safety.

Re-imagined

Sedan

Nissan developed a one-class-above solution that exceeds

customers' expectations - retaining the popular features of the current model

while upgrading design, perceived quality, roominess and performance. In fact,

Nissan has virtually re-imagined the category, delivering high quality styling

outside and spacious, quiet comfort inside with the latest "smart" amenities,

plus remarkable fuel efficiency.

Design with Excitement and

Confidence

Just looking at the all-new global sedan inspires

excitement and confidence. The lowered stance and well-proportioned aerodynamic

body create a strong presence, while the elegantly upswept character line

expresses dynamic yet refined performance. The front grille and LED-bordered

headlamps contribute to the premium image and help create a modern look. LED

taillights, a sharply angled trunk lid and eye-catching chrome trim add to the

tastefully-styled one-class-above appearance.

Roomy, High Quality

Interior

The modern design language of the exterior is carried

over to the spacious interior with high quality materials and cabin details

crafted to please the senses. Within the roomy cabin, passengers enjoy generous

shoulder room and legroom one would expect in more expensive vehicles. The

trunk's capacity is among the best in its class. Thorough noise isolation,

vibration absorption, and an advanced suspension with optimized high-stiffness

body assure a peacefully smooth ride. Amenities for comfort and convenience

include dual-zone air conditioning, Intelligent Key and keyless pushbutton

ignition.

Impressive Fuel Economy

With its new

1.8 liter engine and next-generation XTRONIC CVT (Continuously Variable

Transmission), the all-new global sedan delivers impressive fuel efficiency. A

long piston stroke and Twin Continuously variable valve timing control (C-VTC)

optimize combustion, while hydrogen-free Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating on

valve lifters halves friction of previous coatings and beehive valve springs

reduce friction and inertial loss. The next-generation XTRONIC CVT is lighter

and more compact than previous designs, yet achieves greater efficiency and a

wider gear ratio range, thanks to an auxiliary transmission with sub planetary

gears and smaller pulleys. This environmentally-friendly performance reflects

Nissan's global PURE DRIVE commitment to reducing CO2 emissions through

developing fuel efficient internal combustion engine (ICE) technologies and

introducing them into the market.

This new model, to be produced at the

Dongfeng Nissan Huadu Plant facilities in Guangzhou, will be released in mid

2012. Following its introduction in China, the car will be launched in most

major markets worldwide during the course of 2012 and approximately 120

countries by 2014.

North America Product Blitz Continues With All-New Sentra Sedan Coming Later

This Year

On the heels of the Beijing Motor Show, at which

Nissan Motor Company unveiled an all-new global sedan, Nissan North America

(NNA) announced that this new model will be the basis for an all-new 2013 Nissan

Sentra. In conjunction with the announcement, Nissan released teaser video clips

and images of the North American market's uniquely styled 2013 Sentra SR. The

all-new Sentra will be unveiled in the United States later this summer and go on

sale in the fall.

"Sentra is the third of five all-new core models we'll

be introducing in a 15-month product onslaught," said Brian Carolin, senior vice

president, Sales and Marketing, NNA. "The all-new Altima goes on sale this

summer and will be followed closely by the all-new Pathfinder and Sentra. And

when the next two new models launch in 2013, we will have refreshed 75 percent

of our volume, rewarding our loyal owners and attracting new customers into

Nissan showrooms."

The all-new 2013 Sentra will be launched as the

nameplate celebrates its 30th anniversary in the U.S., promising to bring a new

level of refinement and innovation to the segment. Nissan will unveil the Sentra

and release more details about it this summer
