Production-bound Nissan Hi-Cross leaked - Automobile News

Resembling a downsized Pathfinder, the concept's rugged appearance has been noticeably toned down for production but the overall styling changes very little. The Hi-Cross falls in line with Nissan's latest design language thanks to a V-shaped grille and angular headlights.



The Japanese automaker has yet to release any details about the Hi-Cross and precisely where it will be positioned remains a mystery. Rumors circulating around the European auto industry indicate that it might replace the slow-selling X-Trail, an aging RAV4-sized SUV that is not offered in the United States.

Another plausible possibility is that the Hi-Cross will fill the gap between the Qashqai +2 and the Murano, two vehicles that are about €30,000 (roughly $40,000) apart.

Regardless, the Hi-Cross will be offered with a wide range of gasoline- and diesel-burning four-cylinder engines that will include a Renault-sourced 1.5-liter dCi turbodiesel. Both front- and all-wheel drive versions will be available.

More details about Nissan's enigmatic Hi-Cross will be released in the weeks leading up to the Geneva show. Whether or not the SUV will cross the Atlantic and land in U.S. dealerships is not currently known.
