Here are the first pix of the new Nissan Pulsar for Europe, which Nissan will take to battle against the Mk7 Golf in Europe. It sports a completely different look compared to the current Pulsar hatchback (boot-less cousin of our Sylphy) currently sold in the region. The Pulsar's face has the first use of Nissan's V-motion grille on a non-SUV, previously found only the X-Trail, Qashqai and most recently the Murano.
It's not clear to us for now whether the European Pulsar will carry a different look or if we are in fact looking at the Pulsar's mid-cycle facelift, but what we do know is that Europe-bound cars will be built in Spain. It measures 4,385mm long and 1,520mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,700mm. Boot space is quoted at 380 litres.
There will be various engine options, but instead of a normally aspirated 1.8 litre like the one that this region gets, the European Pulsar will cater to the European buyer's taste for downsized turbocharged engines, so it'll get either a 115 hp, 190 Nm 1.2 litre DIG-T turbocharged engine or a 109 horsepower 1.5 litre DCi turbodiesel. A hotter Pulsar with a turbocharged 1.6 litre engine that can do 190 horsepower will come later.
The technophile isn't forgotten as well as the car will include LED lights, Forward Emergency Braking, Moving Object Detection, Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning. A NissanConnect infotainment system will allow integration with your mobile phone, Google's Send to Car function for the GPS navigation system, as well as other apps.
