Nissan’s Euro-Spec Pulsar Teased, Australian Launch Ruled Out

2015 NISSAN PULSAR - EUROPE

UPDATE: Nissan Australia has confirmed this new Pulsar will not be offered here. See bottom of article.

Nissan has at last kicked off the teaser train for its new Euro-developed and Spain-built Pulsar, promising a more sophisticated and premium offering than the hatch currently offered in Australia.

To be unveiled on May 20, the new Pulsar will again be fired into the small-car battlefield, aimed square at the likes of the Golf, Focus, Corolla and Mazda3.

Details are thin on the ground for now, although it is clear the new small car will take its finer styling cues from the new Qashqai and X-Trail SUVs.

"Where we can be different is that it won’t look like the Golf. We can be more provocative - that’s the advantage of the guys that come afterwards," Nissan VP Andy Palmer told press last year.
