Nissan has several new products to unveil and announce at this year's Montreal International Auto Show, starting with the unveiling of two very important new models, the 2017 Nissan Qashqai and the 2017 Nissan Sentra Nismo. While the former is a subcompact SUV that sits between the Juke and Rogue in Nissan's impressive lineup of sport utility vehicles, the latter is a car cut out for dynamic driving enthusiasts with a style that doesn't go unnoticed.
Two new Nissan models at the Montreal Auto Show
Nissan is well aware that the sport utility vehicle segment is growing, and the Japanese manufacturer intends to meet all the needs of consumers in terms of versatility and space with one of the most complete lines of SUVs in the industry. The all-new 2017 Nissan Qashqai is a perfect example.
Very popular in Europe, the new 2017 Nissan Qashqai will go on sale in Canada late next spring. Powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that is as economical as it is powerful, the Qashqai will offer 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque as well as a trunk that can accommodate more than 1,700 liters with the rear seat down.
As for the new 2017 Nissan Sentra Nismo, it's the most powerful version in the Sentra lineup with its 188-horsepower, 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. As with the Qashqai, a six-speed manual transmission is standard while a continuously variable automatic is optional. Unlike the Qashqai's CVT, however, the Sentra Nismo's has been optimized for a sportier, more dynamic driving experience.
New electric car agreement announced at Montreal show
Nissan also took advantage of the Montreal Auto Show, which runs until January 29, to announce a new agreement with electric car charging station provider FLO. The FLO charging station is recommended by Nissan for home charging of its Nissan Leaf, the Japanese carmaker's all-electric car. Consumers will even be able to test drive a Nissan Leaf at the Montreal Auto Show thanks to the test drives organized by CAA-Quebec.
And finally, fans of the Star Wars saga will be able to discover the all-new 2017 Nissan Rogue Limited Edition Rogue One Star Wars. The Rogue One Limited Edition features several elements that will thrill fans of the Star Wars series, starting with a life-size Death Trooper helmet that comes with each of the 400 units of the model planned for Canada.
