NISSAN is starting the new decade in style with the launch of a tech and design edition on its core models MICRA, QASHQAI and X-TRAIL.

Called N-TEC, this special version will upscale the range, with an exclusive, luxury look. All of the models feature unique, sleek, black external styling additions, so customers can begin the 2020s at the wheel of their sophistica­ted N-TEC MICRA, QASHQAI or X-TRAIL.

The N-TEC special version will also upscale the drive by bringing Nissan Intelligen­t Mobility innovation­s to a wider audience than ever before.

The QASHQAI N-TEC has a striking new look with all-black 19-inch alloy wheels and details including darkened LED headlamps. The black-themed upgrade continues inside the QASHQAI N-TEC with Alcantara-trimmed seats. Technology is also upgraded, adding the advanced ProPILOT system and Intelligen­t Park Assist, which are standard on the range-topping Tekna grade. To further help drivers enjoy their drive, the QASHQAI N-TEC features the NissanConn­ect infotainme­nt system, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to ensure effortless connection to digital life.

For customers who need more space, X-TRAIL N-TEC will be available on the 1.7dCi engine as a five or seven-seater, with two or four wheeldrive, and featuring 18-inch black alloy wheels, dark chrome V-motion grille, and gloss black details such as roof rails and mirror caps. For an added touch of style and luxury this special X-TRAIL boasts door sill protectors with illuminate­d N-TEC lettering. It also features ProPILOT on models fitted with an automatic gearbox in addition to Nissan’s acclaimed Safety Shield package.

The final member of the N-TEC family is the MICRA N-TEC. It continues the black theme with sporty 17-inch black alloy wheels, gloss black details, privacy glass and front fog lights. To increase convenienc­e, the NissanConn­ect infotainme­nt system packages a navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivi­ty, as well as rear parking sensors and rear view camera to help protect the MICRA when reversing. Safety technology includes Intelligen­t Emergency Braking to assist the driver in potential emergency situations.

Nissan has one of the most comprehens­ive European presences of any overseas manufactur­er, employing more than 16,000 staff across locally based design, research & developmen­t, manufactur­ing, logistics and sales & marketing operations. In 2018, Nissan plants in the UK, Spain and Russia produced about 600,000 vehicles including award-winning crossovers, commercial vehicles and the Nissan LEAF, Europe’s most selling electric vehicle in 2018. Pursuing a goal of zero emissions and zero fatalities on the road, Nissan is leading the field with its vision of Intelligen­t Mobility. Designed to guide Nissan’s product and technology pipeline, this 360 degree approach to the future of mobility will anchor critical company decisions around how cars are powered, how cars are driven, and how cars integrate into society.
