Page B4, Wheels, November 1988 driving conditions. The interior of the 240SX is as ultra-modern as that of many auto show '"'dream cars." Despite this, its wraparound layout and body-hugging seats are thoroughly practical, comfortable and convenient for drivers and passengers alike. Nissan was the world's first automaker to offer a production issan's new look version of "head up" dashboard display in Japan this past spring. Now, it brings this proven safety feature to North America as an op- tion on certain models of 240SX and Maxima. Head up display was first used in jet-fighters. In Nissan's new cars, it projects the speedometer readout onto a specially treated patch of windshield. This lets the driver check his or her speed without glancing.away from the road ahead. Two new 12-valve, four-cylinder engines also make their debut in the 1989 Nissan lineup. A big but lively and smooth- running 2.4 litre engine powers the 240SX -- hence the car's name. It generates plenty of torque and an estimated. 140 horsepower. The base-model Pulsar XE sports coupe, plus all Sentras -- sedan, coupe and wagon -- are powered by a new 12-valve 1.6 litre engine. It's rated at 90 horsepower, up a healthy 20 horsepower from its eight-valve predecessor. Other noteworthy Nissan features for 1989 include: e Viscous coupled full-time four- wheel-drive, optional on the com- pact Sentra wagon. e Precise electro-hydraulic steer- ing in the Maxima. ¢ This is combined with "road reading," bump-smoothing Sonar Suspension in on those Maxima GXEs fitted with the optional elec- | tronics package. ¢ Smooth-shifting, high- efficiency, computer-controlled automatic transmissions, optional on 240SX and Maxima. (They were introduced on Nissan's Pathfinder and Pickup last year.) e Anti-lock brakes on Maxima SE. They will also be phased in as part of a new 240SX option package, within the next few months. i e Electronic "spatial instrument display."' This is an instrument panel in which the "'dials" are full- color electronic images. The system is fitted on Maxima GXEs with head up display. © Unique white-faced instrument dials which visually reverse to a restful white-on-black at night, stan- dard on the Maxima SE. Two ranges of Nissan cars -- _the best-selling Sentra compact sedans, wagons and coupes, and the larger Stanza -- undergo minor facelifts as they enter the 1989 model year. Other products, like the Micra sub-compact, and the award- winning Pathfinder and Pickup, enter 1989 with only minor detail changes. Ed SO 8 eee scene
