Nissan is interested in a frame SUV with a hybrid drive

The engineer-developer of the gasoline-electrical pickup Frontier Pro Ikuo Miai told Australian journalists that Nissan can afford to make a shortened version of the station-type body. “We must take into account market requirements, calculate investments. If we have the opportunity, we will begin to develop [внедорожника]”, – explained the representative of the brand.

Ikuo Miyai made it clear that the charged hybrid system from the Nissan Frontier Pro is not suitable for the future Navara pickup based on Mitsubishi L200. However, in Australia, a new truck may appear under the initial name Frontier Pro, and from the context of the conversation it follows that the power plant will remain electrified.

In Australia, HI4-T Hi4-T, Tank of the Great Wall concern and Fangchengbao Leopard 5 SUVs, are already sold. In both cases, we are talking about frame models with gasoline-electrical power plant. The Nissan Frontier Pro SUV could play in the same segment and replace the Terra model based on the outgoing Navara. By the way, in North America, in the medium -sized frame of Nissan, Nissan SUV is also interested.

If the plans of the branches on both sides of the oceans come true, then the development of the Chinese branch of Zhengzhou Nissan with the engineering of Dongfeng will become Global. The platform allows you to produce gasoline, diesel and hybrid frame cars, because the original Dongfeng Z9 has all three types of power plants. It remains only to add a universal body, and for China this is a feasible task.
