Can you tell if it's a touring model?

Versa_Drifter · 06-01-2012, 10:17 AM

Hi, I'm just curious if there's anyway you can tell the difference between touring and base. I know that you can tell apart sport and base by the rims and spoiler, but is there a way you can tell apart the touring?

Other then looking inside no.

Inside there would be a big difference

I assume you mean from the outside.. they have the satellite radio antenna on the roof

Nice, that would be hard to see on the move though!

From outside you should look through the windows.

From the outside the only way to know is the bulge on the roof which is right before the rear window.
A bit hard to see, but if you get behind one you will be able to tell.

Go to the Nissanusa website as it describes an exact item by item list of what is contained in each package. The year to year difference should not be that significant (maybe none at all).

Since the touring package is mostly interior add-ons, you can't really tell if drives by you. On the inside though, it's very easy to spot by just looking at the seats, radio etc. The base also doesn't have the retractable cover in the trunk.

If the seats are not black or dark grey, it's touring. You can see that easily from outside the car. Of course, if it's touring with black leather seats, you won't be able to tell the difference.

From the outside at a distance the Bose shark fin antenna is about the only way.

Thanks for all the help guys I was just looking at some Z's online and I dont think the dealer knew it was a touring. But I wasnt sure either so I had to ask.
