Nissan has announced a bunch of premieres for next
year's Tokyo Auto Salon, which opens its gates on January 12, one of them being
the Leaf Grand Touring Concept.
The show car is not as aggressively styled as the
Leaf Nismo that debuted two months ago, but it does get a few interesting bits,
such as the two-tone black and matte silver finish.
No images of the interior have been released yet,
but the automaker describes it as "stylish and sophisticated" thanks
to the addition of some special accents. We wouldn’t be surprised if some of
these features will be adopted by a new trim level of the electric car called
'Grand Touring', in the Japan at least.
The 'Grand Touring' moniker has been used again on
an X-Trail Concept, which will go under the spotlight at the Tokyo event as
well. This version of the SUV, which is known on our shores as Rogue, is aimed
at those loving the outdoors, and it gets a special exterior graphic, and some
different trim in the cabin.
There's also a Nissan NV 350 Caravan Grand Touring
Concept heading to the 2018 Tokyo Auto Salon, which goes for an 'off-road look'
as well, equipped with BF Goodrich all-terrain tires, special exterior accents
and decals, and minor tweaks inside.
Nissan has a few more surprises in store too for the
event, including the Fairlady Z Heritage Edition, a special version of the
370Z, the Note e-Power C-Gear, an "outdoor version" of the vehicle,
and three new concept cars called Serena e-Power Autech, Note e-Power Autech,
and X-Trail Autech.
Visitors to the brand's stand will also
get to see the GT-R Nismo, Note e-Power Nismo, X-Trail Nismo Performance
Package, Serena Nismo, Leaf Nismo Concept, and Motul Autech GT-R racer.
