New Nissan NV400 makes UK debut
Posted by Richard Sinclair
The Nissan NV400 has been launched in the UK, boasting new-look car lights and an updated bonnet, front wings, grille and bumper.
Big brother to the NV200, the NV400 made its world debut at Hanover.
Atsushi Maeda, studio chief designer at Nissan Design Europe, said the NV400 shares the same practical aspects of the other vehicles in the range, but has a "genuinely different" appearance.
He explained that the Nissan angle strut grille, which also appears on the Pathfinder and Navara, has helped this to be achieved.
Mr Maeda went on to say that the design team also ensured the vehicle's front car lights are different too.
"The grille and headlight assemblies have been designed as a single piece of architecture rather than a series of interlocking shapes to give that grounded, stable shape," he explained.
Earlier this month, Nissan announced that the earthquake in Japan had caused an interruption to its production schedules, but said it would focus on minimising any impact on its customers or staff.
