TOKYO, May 20 — Japanese manufacturer Nissan will present its new five-door sedan, the Pulsar, today. Described as a compact family car, the new model is slated to hit European dealerships this autumn.
Following the success of the Qashqai and X-trail in the crossover and SUV markets, Nissan decided to adopt the same design language for its latest sedan.
Nissan says that the Pulsar, which will be produced at its plant in Barcelona, Spain, was developed specifically to meet the needs of consumers in Europe.
Last month, at the Beijing Motor Show, Nissan presented its Lannia sedan concept, which will likely inform a future model designed specifically for Asian markets.
The Nissan Pulsar will be unveiled in a live web streaming presentation today at 1pm CET at www.nissan.eu/awesome, before going on display to the public at the next Paris Motor Show in October.
The Pulsar name is not new, as Nissan has marketed sedans under the same name in Australia and certain Asian markets since 1978. — AFP-Relaxnews
