Big shoutout to Aditya for shooting these pictures & his coverage of the Auto Expo. Thanks for sharing, man!

The highlights of the Nissan pavilion this year at the Auto Expo is the GT-R and the third generation X-Trail:

The third generation X-Trail gets its own dedicated thread. Check it out.

A car that needs no introduction - Nissan GT-R:



The GT-R is powered by a 3.8-litre, twin-turbocharged, V6 petrol engine that develops 542 BHP and 632 Nm of torque:




Get ready to shell out over Rs. 2 crore for this supercar. It will be brought to India via the CBU route:





Side air vents in the shape of a '7':


Gun metal grey multi-spoke wheels:


A lot of carbon fibre bits around:



Clever design inclusions which aid aerodynamics:



Side indicators:



Streamline door handle also aids aerodynamics:


A lot of supercar drivers will see these when they're up against the mighty Godzilla:

Now here's something cool - Eporo. It's a radar-guided robot car concept which is designed to travel in a group of like-vehicles, mimicking the behavioral patterns of a school of fish in avoiding obstacles without colliding with each other:



After the cool stuff, we come to the Terrano Concept - A contender for the weird and wacky thread?


The car wears a matte black, white and orange theme:



235/50 R18 Maxxis tyres:









It has a pop-type sunroof too:


The Nissan Sunny Sportech concept:


It comes with a body kit and daytime running lights:


Chrome garnish in the rear, a Sportech badge and bumper skirts. Don't miss the chrome muffler tip:



It also gets a boot lip spoiler:


A touchscreen infotainment system. Notice the placement of the USB and AUX-in slots:

Nissan is one of the sponsors for the ICC T20 world cup this year:


There's a small box cricket section for the public:


Obviously, a WT20 Special Edition has to be introduced. This is the Terrano:


Body graphics + 16" alloy wheels:


An additional badge stating that it's a special edition:


It gets a matte black roof:


Based on the XL variant:


You got to really be a cricket fan to have this on your car:


It gets a touchscreen music system inside:


Ditto updates with the Micra Active. This is the WT20 Special Edition:


Body decals and contrasting door handles & ORVMs:


White spoiler:


It is based on the XL variant:


ICC World T20 badge:


Like I mentioned, you really need to be a die-hard cricketing fan to have this vinyl on your car's bonnet:

Nissan can do much better than this. Sometimes I wonder whether they are in tune with ground realities or not. Apart from the X-trail launch, they could have given this show a miss and saved the moolah.

Seeing the cricket editions, I can imagine my neighborhood kid gang adding to the autographs within a week!

Is this the best foot forward from Nissan...:Frustrate

Except the GT-R, which is not for any normal masses (only targeted at rich kids), nothing else is really making any statement about Nissan's plans for India in coming future. Just kitted up existing models won't qualify as concepts. In fact just different paint scheme/graphics won't even qualify to be facelift version.

Nissan has totally lost the plot in Indian market and seem to be least bothered to strategize any revival plans.

The GTR looks yum and fiery in red The 'special edition' Terrano and Micra really needs a bold and die hard cricket fan owner as suggested in the post!

Disappointed with Nissan's products showcasing!!

Though GT-R is super exciting, is not a mass product and petrol only X-Trail without any major differentiation or edge over already well settled competitors like Fortuner, Santa Fe - I am puzzled with Nissan's direction.

I own a Terrano, its a beautful SUV. I was hoping to see something new, something refreshing, but Terrano Concept looks like a mod done at a local garage. Black, white and orange theme and autographs on hood of special edition release - really couldn't digest.

Nissan is an automobile giant internationally, I am sure they know these things, then why they are not serious about Indian market?

[The Rationalist]

That Nissan Terrano deserves to be called Nissan TERROR! What a cruelty to the good looking SUV, it sure didn't deserve such treatment.

[girishglg]

Except for the super car CBUs Nissan doesn't seem to have anything new for the Indian market except for the X-Trail. Very sad to see this from a capable manufacturer.

As rightly said the cricket edition does look like it has gone past its age when we had the Palio Tendulkar edition and sort. Not sure if anyone would like to buy a car and keep it for a long time with decals of a particular tournament. A subtle badging would have done the job.

Anyways looks like they have "run out" of ideas like the gaudy Terrano on display.

Why they did not show Kicks?
