If you’re in the market for something that is roughly VW Golf sized but you don’t want a Golf (or Focus, or Megane, or anything else in the traditional C-segment as it’s called) then the Nissan Pulsar might just be for you. It is a five door hatchback with fresh styling and it looks sort of like a minature version of the Qashqai. So if you like that, then this will certainly appeal.
The Pulsar’s all-turbocharged engine range delivers the perfect combination of performance and efficiency. The 1.2-litre DIG-T petrol unit punches above its weight with an output of 115PS, while the 1.5-litre dCi generates 110PS and 260Nm of torque. An even more powerful 190PS 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine will join the range early in 2015.
Thanks to the longest wheelbase in the class (2,700mm) and clever packaging, the Pulsar offers considerably more rear legroom and shoulder room than its sector rivals.
The Nissan Pulsar will be on sale from Autumn 2014.
