QashQai+2 to get world premiere at the British Motor Show.
Nissan will pull the covers off the Qashqai+2 at this year’s British Motor Show.
Alongside the QashQai+2, Nissan will also have its new Murano on its stand while there will also be a special edition Qashqai sporting 18 inch alloys and featuring a specially designed Bose audio system. Sound & Style goes on sale in November with a choice of both petrol and diesel 2.0-litre engines. The Sound & Style comes luxuriously equipped and as its name suggests, boasts a number of enhanced design features both inside and out, as well as a bespoke Bose sound system.
Elsewhere on the Nissan stand visitors will be able to see the Denki Cube electric-powered concept, the Micra 25 and Note Accenta S special editions.
The QashQai+2 has been designed and engineered in Europe and will be built at Nissan’s Sunderland plant - its greater length and longer wheelbase accommodates an extra row of seats designed for children or for occasional use by small adults and has allowed luggage space to be expanded by 90 litres.
The new Murano, according to the maker is designed as a ‘super evolution’ of the original, it boasts elegant new looks, a luxury interior, a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 now developing 256 PS and a more premium driving feel thanks to the new, advanced platform and lighter suspension components.
The Denki Cube Concept will also be on the stand. IMN know that the second generation Cube will appear in the UK next year.
Also on the stand will be the Micra 25 Special Edition and a Note Acenta S. The Note Acenta S is the latest addition to Nissan’s capacious family hatchback range. This special edition will be on the stand fitted with the new high power diesel engine. Output is up from 86 to a punchy 103 PS, and the good news is that it has a minimal impact on frugality. The new five-strong Acenta S line-up slots in between Acenta and the top of the range Tekna grades and starts from £11,995.
