Well, here’s a cute little critter then, though perhaps it may be a bit too kitschy for many. It’s called the Nissan Compact Sport Concept, and it’s a Nissan debutant at the ongoing Auto Shanghai 2011, along with other cars like the new Latio.

Designed in collaboration by Nissan’s global design headquarters in Japan and the company’s new design studio in Beijing, the three-door concept hatch – which Nissan says is designed for young customers in emerging countries – certainly displays a fair bit of bling.

Details are minimal about the car, which is believed to sit on a Micra (March) platform (and looking like it overdosed on steroids), save the fact that it’s equipped with a direct-injection turbocharged 1.6 litre lump offering 190 hp, mated to a six-speed CVT gearbox with a manual shift mode.

Elsewhere, it’s all pretty much flash; the external bulges make for great eye-candy for those into such curves and flair, and the interior displays enough attention-grabbing bits too – the contrasting black and white interior features red for highlight accents and plenty of oval-shaped cues. No mention if this one will ever come into series production (the 4th-gen K13 Micra/March is only a year old, so it’s not a preview of a replacement), but you can never tell these days.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
looks like march replacement for me
1.6 190hp? same engine with the new tiida/latio?
if proton CKD/rebadge/JV this March in the future also welcomed.. beats myvi anytime..
less talk.. work harder! talk talk talk but no action, sorry to say proton will be behind p2 a long time…
Em..will Tan Chong bring it into Malaysia?
damn smart seyyy!!!!
really hope that the proposed collaboration with nissan
will bear fruits and will not break down.(again)
Proton desperately needs a better and wider range of engines
and this will be a catalyst for P1 to move forward.
news shd be out soon as we are already at the tail end of April.
..I hope new Proton CFE engine can match the Nissan power output….since the platform will be shared with EMAS…
bring it here. 190hp, manual option, im willing to pay max 110k. hahahaha. I like
Looks like its getting quite interesting….the Twingo has a new playmate
Is this their attack on the VW Beetle?
nice…nice…nice~~~
Nice but pricing?1.6 190hp turbocharge is drooling but pricing wise?I know the maintenance a big high on side note.
Proton CFE is soft turbo meaning light pressure but this is purely turbo..
powerful little car. nissan has been doing a lot of “cute” work at the back!
looks a bit like the new beetle
i like this car!
i wan to buy this car…looks refreshing at front
Nissan always good at concept design…but when turns to production, totally hopeless….eg latio sport
they screwed the micra concept with the really uncool tonedown production model, i hope they will do better with this one. coz this looks like a great design compared to mini cooper plus this is just like kelisa compared to mini one time ago lol :D
*btw i do love this design, simply nice n clean :D
