Nissan has launched an updated version of the Nissan
Skyline sedan – otherwise known as the Infiniti Q50 at the 2017 Tokyo Motor
Show. It comes with minor updates and new features across the range.
For starters, all variants of the Skyline now come
with Nissan’s All-Around Safety Shield technology. Other changes include a
tweaked front bumper, new aluminium rim designs, new steering wheel and
gearshift knob and a revised instrument panel surface finish.
The Nissan Skyline measures 4,790 mm long, 1,820 mm
wide, 1,440 mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2,850 mm. The interior comes in
three colour themes: beige, white and black, with various trim and upholstery
choices. It comes equipped with a Dual Display System for both the infotainment
and automatic climate control, Bose Performance audio system, LED headlights,
and magnesium paddle shifters.
There are two engine options available.
The lower models come with 2.0L 4-cyl turbocharged petrol motor with 211 PS and
350 Nm of peak torque, while other variants pack a hybrid system that combines
a 306 PS 3.5L V6 turbo motor with a 68 PS electric motor. Both models come
equipped with a 7-speed automatic gearbox, although the 3.5L hybrid variant can
be had with AWD.
