After the Almera gewipt, was it from Nissan still in the C-segment, which for a volumefabrikant is quite remarkable. Today marks the return of the Japanese with the Pulsar, and this is it.
Old name, new product
In the past, used Nissan the name Pulsar already, at the time it was a kontloze Sunny. The current model is more on himself, the Sunny is still offered, but not on the European market. Nissan the Pulsar in Barcelona to build, and he has yet in the autumn of this year on the market. The model does not come as a surprise, already in 2012, spoke to Nissan the ambition of such a car to build.
Nissan does not itself more to prove on the automotive market, models like the Qashqai and Juke prove that the Japanese are not good in the fingers. The C-segment is hard-won, but Nissan feels invigorated by the recent successes.
The introductiekleur is Qashqai-blue, and if you go to the styling looks, then the comparison is quickly coming up. It is actually a Qashqai that are lower on his legs. So easy in the development.
Wheelbase
The Pulsar rolls on a wheelbase of 2.70 metres, quite large for a car of 4,39 meters long, and thus a great asset for Nissan’s PR machine to claim that the car heul has a lot of space in the back, even more than various competitors that are a segment higher.
Where are the hybrids?
In the introduction, the choice is simple: you take the 1.2 DiG-T with 115 hp as your gasoline to drive, and you take the 1.5 dCi with 110 hp and 95 g/km of CO2 if you have a duivelaanbiddende nagelgrage dieselfetisjist. Received more potent (1.6-) blocks to follow, whether or not with the Nismo badge, and that is that. Yet the average customer with a typical motor to be controlled, which is so good for the sales figures, provided that the model catches on.
Elektrificering is still not on the menu, if the batteries want, then you can buy just a Leaf.
Safety first
The Pulsar has various features on board that you are on the go hekpen chunks to avoid. The brand calls its Safety Shield, and it includes, among others, Forward Emergency Braking, Moving Object Detection, Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning. Of course you will this is not on the entry-level model, but it is possible.
