Nissan redefined the C segment back in 2007 with the launch of the Qashqai. Moving away from the traditional family hatchback market they have had wild success in pioneering the Crossover segment.
Well now they are returning to the family hatch market and bringing back an old name whilst they are at it.
The all new Nissan Pulsar aims to be ‘spacious, stylish and packed with technology’ we tested the 1.2 petrol DiG Turbo model. In top spec Tekna trim our test model would set you back £20,345. However the basic Visia starts from £15,995.
Nissan’s new pulsar is priced higher than the class mainstay – the Ford Focus. However the Pulsar is a fresh model to the market, arguably with more desirable looks, better legroom and a higher quality interior.
Its average driving dynamics are little to write home about, if you want something sporty and engaging you are best to look at a Mazda 3.
However if you dont fancy a crossover but need a well specced spacious family lugger, look no further.
Carwitter Summary:
Nissan Pulsar – Good looker, affordable tech, pricier than competition, spacious interior.
