FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHICAGO (February 6, 2014) – Nissan introduced the all-new 2015 Versa Note SR and 2015 Frontier Diesel Runner concept during the Media Preview of the 2014 Chicago Auto Show.
The new Versa Note SR model features a sportier, dynamic look with an exclusive grill, darker headlights and chrome accents.
"We’ve given it all the works," said Fred Diaz, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Nissan. “Every feature available, regardless of budget.”
The 2015 Frontier Diesel Runner aims at raising the standard for mid-size trucks with its unique 2.8 liter, 4-cylinder Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. The model has a 35 percent fuel economy increase over the current V6 Frontier, while still offering nearly 200 horsepower. Being the first of its kind, the 2015 Frontier Diesel Runner is the staple of the growing partnership between Nissan and Cummins.
“We’ll continue to collaborate with Nissan in the future. They’re a great auto manufacturer,” said Jeff Caldwell, executive director for Cummins Viking Program. “We’re searching to be more of a system supplier to Nissan.”
The 2015 Versa Note SR is expected to go on sale in the spring of 2014. A version of the Frontier Diesel Runner is currently undergoing development testing for possible introduction in 2015. Also making a debut in Chicago was the Nissan NV200 Chicago Taxi concept.
