Auto Express is the...
Auto Express is the first magazine in the world to print pictures of the compact executive load-lugger completely unmasked. Although the car had been widely expected to continue to develop the "flame surfacing" design philosophy of its stablemates, these shots reveal that the look of the newcomer is likely to be a lot less adventurous than had first been imagined.
Nissan"s Juke is out...
Nissan"s Juke is out of the box! Just last week the Japanese manufacturer released a first official teaser shot of its all-new baby Qashqai, and at the same time revealed its name - "Juke". And now, using that image as a guide, we have the most accurate pictures yet of the firm"s all-new crossover.
With the mould-breaking Qashqai, cut-price GT-R and now this compact SUV - designed to steal sales from traditional family hatchbacks - Nissan is fast earning a reputation for offering interesting alternatives to established models in the market. And judging by our exclusive images, the Juke"s compact footprint and Tonka-toy looks mean it has every chance of mirroring the Qashqai"s incredible showroom success.
Slotting in between the Note
and Qashqai, the Juke will expand Nissan"s broad range even further.
And when it goes on sale in October, it should provide a welcome boost
for the UK car industry too - it will be built alongside the Qashqai
and Qashqai+2 at Nissan"s Sunderland plant.
The Qazana concept car"s
swollen wheels arches have been carried over, along with the narrow,
elongated headlights and oversize fog lights underneath, while the roofline have taken on a more angular profile.
Full details on the newcomer
will be realeaed at the global media unveiling on February 10th, but
it"s public debut won"t be until the Geneva Motor Show in March.
