si erano ispirati alla Dahiatsu Materia ?

 

Queste sono le proposte di design della Nissan Z (RZ34) del 2022. Sembrano tutti molto attraenti, anche se devo essere sincero, gli altri design rifiutati sembrano più aggressivi e più sexy. Quali sono i tuoi preferiti?

When the Renault-Nissan Alliance was formed in 1999, Nissan's new COO, Carlos Ghosn, tasked the company with transforming its product portfolio in Europe. The C-segment Almera, a slow seller in Europe, became his primary focus. 

 

By December 2002, Nissan concluded that the planned C-segment model would not be as profitable and competitive as required. The development team eventually proposed the idea of a "mini-Murano" type of vehicle smaller than the X-Trail that would be positioned to compete with C-segment hatchbacks and sedans. Development focused on creating a European-oriented vehicle with the desirability, practicality and versatility of an SUV but with the size, driving dynamics and running costs of a family hatchback. While the engineering work was carried out by the Nissan European Technical Centre (NTCE), a design proposal was put forward by Nissan Design Europe (NDE), which became the 2004 Qashqai concept. During final development, Nissan decided that the Qashqai would serve as a replacement for both the Almera in the C-segment and the Primera in the D-segment. 

 

The car was unveiled as a concept at the Geneva Motor Show on 2 March 2004. It was called the Qashqai, a word derived from the name of an Iranian tribe and linked to the car's positioning as an "urban nomad". It was met with skepticism, with the motoring media reluctant to accept that there was a market for Nissan's strange new hybrid SUV/hatchback. However, Nissan remained confident that the Qashqai was the right product. The Qashqai went on sale in February 2007 and was a success with customers from the start. By the end of that year, more than 100,000 Qashqais had been sold in Europe.

questa mi sembra più una murano di una quasquai ( poi ho letto meglio il testo in inglese ed ho capito )

 

certo che fecero un bel salto nel vuoto , un all-in mica da poco e vinsero alla grande la scommessa

 

ricordo ancora i commenti quando decisero di giubilare almera e primera dandogli quasi dei pazzi

Back in 2002, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) were rising in popularity. Despite this, there were still considerable barriers to SUV ownership for many hatchback and saloon buyers, who were traditionally quite conservative in their car choice. Nissan customer clinics had highlighted that SUVs were considered too large for around-town manoeuvrability and general everyday usability, plus people didn’t like the poor fuel efficiency and lacklustre interior quality.

 

What followed was a period of research, focused primarily on assessing the viability of creating a vehicle that would be a baby brother to the popular X-Trail – something with the desirability, practicality and versatility of an SUV but with the size, driving dynamics and running costs of a family hatchback.

 

For the production model, the selected exterior came from Nissan’s Global Design Centre in Japan, while the interior was penned by Nissan Design America. Given the Qashqai was initially to be a car for European customers only, both elements were then transferred to NDE for further refinement, to make the designs to perfectly fit the needs of European customers.

 

At the 2006 Paris Motor Show, the world’s first urban crossover production car, Nissan Qashqai made its debut. Today the Qashqai is the perfect expression of an innovation born out of necessity that Nissan was producing mainstream saloons and hatchbacks which were not winning the hearts and minds of consumers.

Micra II design story

Indubbiamente hanno fatto benissimo a scegliere la versione tondeggiante retro stile...ma devo dire che anche le proposte squadrate di Nissan Europe non erano affatto male.
