New Nissan X-Trail, Qashqai and e-NV200 to debut at Geneva Motor Show

Japanese carmaker Nissan has announced its lineup to be unveiled at the 84th Geneva Motor Show. The company will further enhance its crossover lineup by introducing the all-new Qashqai and the new X-Trail. Adding to it, the company will also debuts the zero-emissions e-NV200 and the GT-R Nismo at the show.

Nissan X-Trail

The all-new X-Trail combines advanced 4x4 capabilities with a host of design and engineering features that have become hallmarks of Nissan crossovers. It comes equipped with several advanced features such as bi-LED headlamps, Nissan Safety Shield and a fully-integrated third-generation NissanConnect navigation and infotainment system.

Built on the Renault-Nissan Alliance Common Module Family platform, the all-new X-Trail also offers significantly improved practicality, with a new ‘theatre-style' seating layout, sliding second row of seats and fully-integrated third row of seats with improved leg and headroom.

e-NV200 production premiere

Nissan will introduce the e-NV200 which brings unprecedented refinement, with zero emissions and ultra-low running costs. The e-NV200's high performance pure electric drivetrain, based on that used in the acclaimed Nissan LEAF, is allied to the class-leading cargo volume of the NV200 to create a practical and versatile vehicle capable of carrying people or goods while producing neither exhaust emissions nor noise pollution. When sales start in May, e-NV200 will be available as a van or as a five-seat people carrier in Combi or more luxurious Evalia guises. Although mainly targeted at businesses, e-NV200 will also appeal to private users with large families.

GT-R Nismo

For the first time, the production form of the mighty Nissan GT-R Nismo will make its European debut. It is the fastest and most advanced Nissan performance production car ever. Honed to perfection on the legendary Nürburgring Norsdschleife - where it holds the lap record for a volume production car - the new GT-R Nismo perfectly embodies the spirit of the Nismo brand, delivering breathtaking performance.

The new GT-R Nismo is powered by a 600PS, 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine that has been extensively modified by Nismo engineers. Combined with a revised aerodynamic package that generates an additional 100kg of downforce and a bespoke suspension set-up fine-tuned in Europe, it makes the latest GT-R the most remarkable to date.

Nissan BladeGlider concept

Shown to a European audience for the first time at Geneva, the bold new BladeGlider concept challenges conventional thinking on performance car design. Inspired by Nissan's innovative ZEOD RC Zero Emission on Demand race car - set to take part in the 2014 Le Mans 24hr race under the event's ‘Garage 56' rules - the BladeGlider features radical narrow front-track design layout that creates a distinctive swept-wing shape when viewed from above. Featuring perfect weight distribution thanks to the placement of the lithium ion batteries and in-board motors between the rear wheels, the BladeGlider optimises power delivery with significantly reduced stresses at the front of the vehicle.

Nissan Qashqai

The all-new Nissan Qashqai will be unveiled at Geneva Motor Show. The striking crossover is 49mm longer than its predecessor and fractionally lower and wider, giving it a sleek, poised stance while maintaining the crossover style, compact dimensions and raised driving position. The Qashqai comes equipped with several innovative features. Nissan’s Safety Shield technologies now incorporate Front Collision Avoidance, Driver Attention Support and Traffic Sign Recognition along with several other vital driver aids, while Intelligent Park Assist takes the stress out of urban manoeuvres.
