Nissan has just revealed its overhauled DUALIS hatch and admitted that its longer seven-seat sibling may join it in the local line-up next year. While the refreshed five-seater is a confirmed starter for sometime in the first half of 2010, the DUALIS+2 (as the long-wheelbase seven-seater is known), is still in the final stages of negotiations.
But while Nissan is yet to officially lock the DUALIS+2 into its 2010 plans, it is all-but-certain to make it here with only price and specifications details to be finalised.
"Looking more likely," admits Jeff Fisher, Nissan Australia spokesman. "Going into the final wave of negotiations."
Both new models will feature the just revealed MY10 changes. The DUALIS has been given a totally revised front-end with new bonnet, bumper, grille and headlights. Changes at the rear are less dramatic, with clear lenses for the reversing and indicator lights and the 12 LEDs for the brake lights.
It's not just the exterior that gets a new look with the interior also coming in for change. The main dials have been redesigned for improved clarity and there is a new digital trip computer between them.
Nissan has also tried to improve the refinement with the addition of more insulation at the front bulkhead, different front window sealing and the adoption of an 'acoustic' windscreen.
Nissan also announced it has changed the suspension tuning for a more comfortable ride.
Fisher revealed that pricing for the new DUALIS was still in discussion and would be announced closer to its on sale date.
