The SE-R Spec V raises the performance level even higher with sport-tuned shocks and struts, increased spring rates, a lower ride height, and a 25mm front stabilizer bar.]]>

    There's no such thing as information overload. At least not when you're behind the wheel. That's why both SE-R models come with Z®-inspired, dash-mounted twin pod meters. These easy-reading indicators feature an oil pressure gauge to keep track of vital info and a unique G-meter to display the acceleration and deceleration G-forces you're racking up. ]]>

    • Available Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)¹ helps you stay on your steered path.

    • An incredible 10.1" ground clearance at the rear differential, with up to 32.6° angle of approach and up to 23.3° angle of departure.

    • Hill descent control automatically controls your speed and brake pressure freeing you up to concentrate on navigating difficult off-road situations.

    • Stopped on an incline, hill start assist helps prevent rolling backward.

    • Clutch Start/Cancel allows models with manual transmission to start the vehicle from a stop without using the clutch.

    Disclaimer:
    ¹ VDC cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.     ]]>

    More Interior Features]]>
    • Sport bucket seats feature embroidered SE-R logos and red stitching on the seams.

    • Cutouts in the lower seat cushions provide optimum pedal access.

    • Six standard air bags¹ and front-seat Active Head Restraints are among the more than 50 standard safety features you'll find on every SE-R. It's all part of the Nissan Safety Shield — our comprehensive approach to help inspire confidence every time you get behind the wheel.


    Disclaimer:
    ¹ Air bags are only a supplemental restraint system; always wear your seat belt. Even with the occupant-classification sensor, rear-facing child restraints should not be placed in the front-passenger's seat. Also, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Air bags will only inflate in certain accidents. See your owner's manual for more details.     ]]>
