Nissan Sentra and Altima make national debuts, and Nissan reveals two remarkable vehicles at Montreal International Auto Show
MONTREAL, QC. – Today at the Montreal International Auto Show the 2016 Nissan Sentra and 2016 Nissan Altima each made national debuts, showcasing the latest in Nissan's design language and safety technology. Nissan also took the wraps off of two surprise debuts related to its two top-sellers in Quebec – Rogue and Micra – both of which contributed to Nissan's 8.1 per cent market share in Quebec in 2015 (January-November).
The Rogue Warrior - a stock Nissan Rogue fitted by Motorsports in Action (MIA) with heavy duty snow tracks - took the crowd by surprise when it was presented during the Nissan press conference. The Rogue Warrior's official driver, 2015 Micra Cup champion, Olivier Bédard, was also present for the unveiling of the new Micra Cup Limited Edition – a model replicating the look of the official Nissan Micra Cup race car.
"The Montreal auto show presents the perfect opportunity to exhibit Nissan's new state-of-the-art technologies found on Altima and Sentra, while the Rogue Warrior proves the competency of Nissan's existing technologies, including Nissan's all-wheel drive (AWD) system and advanced Xtronic transmission," says Mike Soutter, Vice President Sales & Operations, Nissan Canada. "At Nissan, we like to push boundaries in the name of innovation and excitement. The Rogue Warrior and Micra Cup Limited Edition encapsulate that fearless spirit, demonstrating the capabilities of two of our most popular vehicles with the help of some extremely fun technical and visual modifications."
Sentra has undergone a significant refreshing – starting with a revised exterior and the addition of an expanded suite of available safety and driving aid technologies. Altima, Nissan's best-selling vehicle in North America, has been redesigned for the 2016 model year, including new exterior and interior styling, enhanced technology and connectivity, a new Altima SR sports model (2.5) and new safety features such as segment-exclusive* Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW).
"In what is set to be the 'year of the sedan', Nissan has made major changes to its three best-known sedans – an all-new Maxima, a major makeover for Altima, and a redesigned Sentra," says Mike Soutter, Vice President Sales & Operations, Nissan Canada. "With the first Canadian auto show of the season comes the opportunity to set the stage for Canadian debuts, and this year show goers will be present for the unveiling of two new models – Sentra and Altima - reflecting the latest in Nissan's design language,and offering refreshed interiors and advanced safety and driving technologies."
The Nissan display was a hub of excitement as the company, along with JD Promotion & Compétition, disclosed the 2016 race calendar for the Nissan Micra Cup. This year the series will expand to Ontario, growing to eight race weekends, with three of these happening in Ontario and five in Quebec.
