(Mon 10 Jul 06) Nissan has announced it will release a new family of global cars over the next two years with sales of the first variant to start in China in 2006. The Livina Geniss, the name of the Chinese variant, will be the first Nissan car to be released in China ahead of other global markets.
"This new family of global cars represents a substantial investment for Nissan," said Nissan Executive Vice President Carlos Tavares. "We expect the Livina Geniss and the other variants to become significant contributors to Nissan's growth in China and other key global markets." The Livina Geniss will make its world premier at the Guangzhou International Motor Show later this month. The seven-seat model has been designed and engineered at the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi in Japan and will be built on a Renault-Nissan Alliance common platform. It will be powered by a 1.8-litre gasoline engine with C-VTC. The model will be manufactured at Dongfeng Motor Co.'s Huadu plant in Guangdong Province. The other variants will be produced at different facilities around the world. Nissan Gallery 22/06/06 News: Designer Micra |
