Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) announced the latest addition to its Krōm™ specialty vehicles lineup, the 2010 Nissan Rogue Krōm™ edition, which is scheduled to go on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide in December 2009.
The new Rogue Krōm™ edition is designed to offer a unique dimension to traditional compact sport utility vehicles with its aggressive sport styling, exclusive 17-inch wheels and a center-exit sport-tuned exhaust. Nissan also offers a Krōm™ edition of the popular Nissan cube®. The limited production Rogue Krōm™ edition is available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations and in just three exterior colors – Venom Red, Wicked Black and Gotham Gray. Built on the solid foundation of the Rogue S, the Krōm™ edition adds 17-inch brilliant finish aluminum-alloy wheels with P225/60R Continental Conti 4x4 Contact tires and a unique grille embedded in the aggressive front fascia with integrated fog lights. In the rear, the Rogue Krōm™ edition includes a boldly styled sport fascia with integrated center-exit exhaust, a body-colored rear spoiler and rear privacy glass. Body-colored power outside mirrors, a Krōm™ emblem and steering wheel-mounted audio controls complete the Krōm™ equipment modifications. “The new Krōm™ edition expands Rogue’s already strong appeal, bringing its unmistakable sporty and active design to buyers seeking to stand out from the crowd of ordinary compact SUVs,” said Pat Steiner, director, Specialty Vehicles Group, NNA. “Just as our NISMO models add enhanced performance straight from the factory, the Krōm™ lineup offers intriguing, customized design right off the showroom floor.” Based at NNA headquarters in Franklin, Tenn., the Specialty Vehicles Group was formed in August 2006 to develop niche derivatives of Nissan vehicles. “Krōm™ adds a level of style and appearance, along with a sense of intrigue, excitement and self-expression. The Krōm™ name suggests ‘cars with attitude,’ rather than a literal interpretation of chrome wheels or trim,” added Steiner. “We leverage our speed and flexibility in bringing exciting new products to market – faster and for less than ‘mainstream’ models.” About the 2010 Nissan Rogue
