NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For Nissan in 2018, black is the new black – as in the popular Midnight Edition "blackout" component packages. Having sold close to 50,000 Midnight Edition models in the 2017 model – including up to 80 percent of Maxima SR models and typically one-third of other models' applicable grades – Nissan is expanding the lineup to include Frontier, TITAN and TITAN XD models.

Pricing for six of the nine models, which ranges from $495 for Sentra S and SR grades to $1,395 for Pathfinder SL – was announced today. Midnight Edition Package content varies by model but all feature black alloy wheels, "Midnight Edition" badge and black exterior accents (see below for details). Midnight Editions are available in a choice of Black, Gun Metal and White exterior colors.
