Nissan will unveil three models at next month’s Melbourne International Motor
Show, including two new name-plates for Nissan’s passenger car range.
The first of the new name-plates, DUALIS (launched in Europe as the QASHQAI)
is a totally new vehicle designed to shake up the small hatchback market.
Due to go on sale in the last quarter, the Nissan DUALIS will be a catalyst
for change in a segment made up of conventional hatchbacks and sedans like the
Volkswagen Golf and Mazda 3.
The clear combination of sporting attitude with the space and ability offered
by a traditional SUV makes DUALIS stands out in a segment of the market full of
worthy but conventional rivals.
Nissan’s second new model will be the Micra, a car which is distinctively
different and designed to stand out on the road.
From its stylish good looks to its feature packed interior, the Nissan Micra
offers everything the customer wants in a zippy city car.
Powered by a 1.4-litre engine, the Micra offers the perfect blend of
performance and economy wrapped in a surprisingly spacious body.
The Micra will join Nissan’s passenger car line-up in late 2007.
Nissan will also be showing the new, updated 350Z which will reinforce its
credentials as a pure sports car with thrilling, involving performance.
The first of the three new products to make it to market, the updated 350Z
will pack a more powerful next-generation 3.5-litre V6 and updated exterior and
interior design.
The new VQ35HR engine – with nearly 80% of the major parts redesigned has
brought improved acceleration and an increased power output – 230kW - to
Nissan’s halo performance car.
Sales of the newly revised 350Z will begin in April 2007.
For more details on Nissan’s new products, come to Nissan stand at the
Melbourne International Motor Show - Melbourne Exhibition Centre from March
2-12th.
