When choosing a new compact hatchback, many often
forget that Nissan has the Pulsar to challenge the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus,
Renault Megane, and Opel/Vauxhall Astra, among others.
The automaker is reminding everyone that
the Pulsar is for customers "seeking space and safety" with a new
Black Edition, that's already on sale in selected markets across Europe.
It's based on the mid-range N-Connecta trim, in all
markets except for Italy, Spain, and Portugal, where it builds upon the Acenta
grade, and features some modest exterior upgrades. These include the black
bezel headlights, with LED signature, black side mirror casings, and 18-inch
black diamond cut alloy wheels. The rims are replaced by 17-inch ones in Spain,
Portugal, Holland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
Don’t expect any major changes inside either, as
this is where users will find the part-leather seats, rear privacy glass, and
NissanConnect infotainment system, with a 5-inch touchscreen display,
Bluetooth, DAB radio, and USB and AUX ports.
Motivation comes from a 1.2-liter DIG-T petrol
engine, with 115 PS, or from a 110 PS 1.5-liter dCi diesel that's
omnipresent on numerous cars made under the Renault-Nissan umbrella.
