Nissan To Reveal New Sedan Concept At Auto China

Next month, at the 13th Beijing International Automotive Exhibition (Auto China 2014) Nissan is going to make a world premiere of the New Sedan Concept (yes, that’s the name), which will be infused with brand’s new global design strategy.

Also featured at the event will be the BladeGlider concept that will also make a debut, but this time only for China, the Autonomous Drive car, Nissan Teana flagship sedan, the new X-Trail as well as the new NV200 Xtronic transmission.

Last year at Auto Shanghai 2013 we saw the debut of the Friend-ME concept, which exuded provocative design and was equipped with many connectivity features. What was striking in its interior design was the unique centre console that stretched from the dash to between the rear seats.

This year at Auto China 2014, Nissan has prepared the New Sedan Concept specifically for the Chinese digital lifestyle. In fact, after the Friend-ME, this concept vehicle will be the second time for Nissan Design China (NDC), to create a concept car design in collaboration with the Nissan Global Design Center (NGDC).

Unfortunately neither information nor a teaser image of the New Sedan Concept was released. So we have to wonder whether the car will be a successor of the Friend-ME concept or not. All will be revealed on 23d of April.

Geneva Motor Show: 2015 Nissan Juke [VIDEO]

As announced earlier, the 2015 Nissan Juke was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show. The emblematic model has refined front and rear design that contributes towards sportier appearance. In addition, at the front, the upper lamps have been redesigned and now feature bi-intensity LED daytime running lamps while the headlamps have Xenon bulbs and new lens covers.

Door mirrors integrate LED side turn strip repeaters and cameras for the Around View Monitor. At the rear the bumper has a more aggressive shape and features boomerang tail lamps with LED light guide technology. The exterior paint finishes now extends to ten, including three new shades: Sunlight Yellow metallic, Ink Blue metallic and solid Red.

What completes the exterior revisions are the 16-inch steel and alloy wheels as a standard, or the optional 17-inch alloys on Acenta and Tekna variants. A band new 18-inch alloy wheel will be available with colored inserts.

The interior of the new Juke was refined as well. The distinctive features included here are the centre console inspired by a motorbike, interior in a sophisticated grey theme or in red, white, black or even bright yellow themes. Nissan offers two styles of fabric for the seat upholstery – comfort and sport.

The brand didn’t stop with the revisions here but focused on the luggage area which now has an increased space by 40 per cent of up to 354L. The flat folding rear seat on the other hand make it easier to load large objects, while the inclusion of a two-stage floor in the luggage area makes the space even more flexible.

In addition, what’s new for the MY2015i s the downsized 1.2-litre turbocharged engine which offers greater performance, economy and lower emissions as well as the revised 1.6-litre DIG-T unit. The existing and acclaimed 1.5 dCi diesel with 110 hp (81 kW) continues unchanged.

Precisely, the 1.2-litre DIG-T petrol engine delivers 115 hp (85kW) and generates 190 Nm (140 lb-ft) of torque, while emitting only 126g/km of CO2 and having a fuel consumption figure of 5.5l/100km.

Next, the revised 1.6 DIG-T petrol unit now delivers lower end torque below 2,000rpm and produces 190 hp (140kW). This engine emits 139g/km of CO2. Both powertrains are coupled with a six-speed manual transmission, while only the 1.6 DIG-T can be optionally matched with Xtronic transmission gearbox.

Continuing with the changes, Nissan has also improved the four-wheel drive with Torque Vectoring System, added new alloy wheels and a wide range of advanced equipment such as new audio system, the latest generation NissanConnect driver-vehicle interface, Nissan Safety Shield, Nissan’s Dynamic Control system, and an optional opening glass roof.

All models come equipped as a standard with LED daytime running lamps, CD radio with an AUX-In socket, gear-shift indicator to promote a more efficient driving style and tyre pressure monitor. The Visia 1.5 dCi and 1.6 Pack versions add alloy wheels, manual air conditioning, drive computer and driver seat height adjustment.

Next, the Acenta models come equipped with front fog lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, remote audio controls, Bluetooth connectivity for phone and audio streaming, cruise control and limiter, Nissan Dynamic Control System and chrome interior touches.

At last, the Tekna models add power folding door mirrors, light and rain sensors, i-Key with Start/Stop and the latest NissanConnect with rear-view parking/reversing camera, Around View Monitor and Safety Shield.

2014 Geneva Motor Show: Nissan GT-R Nismo

Nissan GT-R Nismo EU-Spec has made its official European debut at the 84^th Geneva Motor Show. The super-powerful sports car comes with enhanced engine and aerodynamics.

The 3.8 liter twin-turbocharged V6 now delivers 600HP (441 kW). Advanced aerodynamics generating additional 100kg of downforce at 300km/h (186mph) for exceptional road-holding.

2014 GT-R Nismo boasts uncompromising engineering and motorsports-inspired technologies to achieve new levels of power, speed and handling.

“With a 7:08.679 lap time, we can authoritatively say that the Nissan GT-R Nismo holds the volume production car lap record at the Nurburgring Nordschleife, which is the gold standard of high performance achievement.”, said Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn.

Engine

Under the hood, the 3.8-liter V6 engine benefits from the know-how that Nismo has gained from participating in such events as the world-renowned Nürburgring 24 hour race. Engine power has risen and is now rated at 600PS (441kw) and 481 lb ft (652 Nm) of torque.
New high-flow, large capacity turbochargers, which are used for GT3 racing, improve breathing, while optimized individual ignition timing control for each cylinder and upgraded fuel pump improve combustion.

Chassis

The springs and custom-developed Bilstein DampTronic dampers in the front and rear suspension are specially tuned to deliver exceptional grip levels and progressive handling response at the limit. Three suspension modes can be selected: Comfort, Normal and R, for circuit applications.
Exclusive Nismo tires – developed by Dunlop – exhibit outstanding grip and handling characteristics. Front: 255/40 ZRF20; rear 285/35 ZRF20.
Specially-developed links fitted to the front double wishbone suspension increase castor trail to optimize wheel position during high-G cornering and improve straight-line and cornering stability. Additionally, large high-rigidity bolts are used to increase stiffness of the wheel-hub attachment area.
To minimize body-roll during cornering and changes of direction, the Nissan GT-R Nismo features a 17.3 mm hollow rear anti-roll bar which raises roll stiffness while reducing weight.

Body construction

Increased rigidity in the bodyshell is achieved using adhesive bonding in addition to spot welding leading to precise suspension response under extreme load, the Nismo “factory tuned” enhancement.

2. Exterior design – Exclusive styling with improved aerodynamics

Using the latest Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation techniques to analyze airflow, Nismo has developed an aero package that improves road-holding, minimizes the negative impact of drag, while giving the car a menacing and muscular appearance.
Together, the front bumper, engine undercover strake and carbon rear spoiler increase downforce, lowering the center of gravity and generating an additional 100kg*1 (at 300km/h) compared to the freshly updated 2014 Nissan GT-R model. The car’s aerodynamic characteristics are tuned to ensure the downforce is equally spread front to rear at all speeds for progressive handling characteristics. A widened front bumper configuration and elongated yet tapered rear bumper design keep the drag to Cd 0.26, same with that of 2014 Nissan GT-R.
The Nissan GT-R Nismo will be available in four body colors: Brilliant White Pearl, Meteor Flake Pearl Black and Ultimate Metallic Silver. And unique to the GT-R Nismo model, a Dark Matte Grey^*3accentuates the car’s imposing exterior muscularity.
The GT-R Nismo’s black 6-spoke wheels are inspired by Nissan’s GT-R race car which races in the GT500 class in SUPER GT.

3. Interior

The Nissan GT-R Nismo cockpit inspires driver confidence through both its craftsmanship and optimized driving position.
Ergonomically sculpted carbon-fiber-backed reclining RECARO seats comfortably, yet firmly, support the driver and front-seat passenger.
Nismo racers influenced the design of the steering wheel which is dressed in Alcantara®, with three spokes, red center mark and red stitching to give the best combination of grip, feedback and comfort.
The combi meter has carbon-like finish, and tachometer features a red design. The meter hood is also dressed with Alcantara®.
Interior trim features include discreet red stitching on the seats, center console, door trim and steering wheel.
