Nissan’s passion for innovation and technology has seen it transform the family car landscape over the course of the last seven years. Now, using the same design approach and original thinking that produced the Qashqai, X-Trail and Note, Nissan is expanding its product portfolio once more with an exciting all-new family hatchback challenger – the Pulsar.
This new hatch is only set for a European launch, but Nissan has not been active in India for a while now, and they are doing quite well since the launch of the Terrano, and the Micra hatch, although an entry-level hatch, has only gotten a single makeover, so we could very well see this premium hatch from the Japanese maker make its way to India. Combining bold design, technical innovations and interior space, the new Pulsar brings a new dimension to the C-segment, offering all the familiar Nissan qualities in a stylish new package.
The Pulsar’s engine all-turbocharged engine range delivers the perfect combination of performance and efficiency. The 1.2-litre DIG-T petrol unit punches above its weight with an output of 115PS, while the 1.5-litre dCi generates 110PS and 260Nm of torque. An even more powerful 190PS 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine will join the range early in 2015. However, we will most probably only se the 1.2 and 1.5-litre unit make their way to India.
