Test: Nissan Pulsar 1.2 DIG-T, airs
The new compact Nissan Pulsar was born with many aspirations. And we do not say only for its considerable habitability, the best in the segment, but for its pleasant feel, excellent dynamic and strong performance.
The Nissan Pulsar, according to the Japanese manufacturer, comes to fulfill a dual purpose. On the one hand, cover the trade gap between Juke and Qashqai; and secondly, to stand up to the more meaning the average area segment C. To achieve this, they have created a model that is distinguished by its significant habitability, by technological burden including in their equipment, and for a behavior that would not be out of saloons facing the upper segments.
And after going through our hands, we must conclude that, where appropriate, their manufacturers are right in almost everything “sell us”. At least in the Tekna grade tested. To begin with, the feeling that transmit materials used and its presentation, we felt good enough to unapologetic compete with his older brother, Qashqai, how good judgment we deserved in this section. Furthermore, the height adjustment of the driver’s seat, with the height and depth of the steering column, affords posture behind the wheel very good. And it would have been even better to have an adjustment screw on the back, more accurate than the points that comes equipped model.
The driver is facing has a clear instrumentation, which highlights the New information screen located between speedometer and tachometer. It is 5 inches, color, and can be customize your information, including browser which, incidentally, is standard in this finish.
Well-appointed
And we continue to get good feelings. Aposentados Once inside, surprising space reserved for the occupants and especially relative to the rear seats. considerable Battle of 2.7 meters authorizing Nissan C modular platform, on which the model rises, is responsible for such a pleasant feature. And best of all is that despite 4.4 meter measures the car, that significant longitudinal space It has not been achieved based sacrifice trunk. In fact, with 435 liters According to our measurements, it is even higher than many of its rivals.
The standard equipment of this Tekna finish is really complete and technological. So, our hero had standard with rear cameras and peripheral vision, motion detector when maneuvering in reverse, control dead angle, frontal collision avoidance function, function Stop&Start, keyless access and starting, and a central “floating” console, It is serving communication path between the driver and infotainment system Nissan Connect.
If the above listed added to the Pulsar incorporated also standard, elements such as leather, steering wheel and gear lined same material, navigation system, climate control and dual sensors Autolamp changes and wipers, you will be with us that the 20,400 euros that Nissan calls this model and trim level, which would pale even higher category cars are justified.
Very sweet’
In dynamic terms, 1.2 DIG-T engine seeks more operating pleased that obtaining a breakthrough performance. In fact, his response to low and medium engine is much more significant than in the upper area of ​​cuentarevoluciones. And this feature makes your driving is very relaxed and rewarding, since being so elastic, it requires no frequent recourse to his change of 6 gears to keep quite at ease cruises.
The behavior is another virtue of Pulsar. His already mentioned huge battle, with a suspensions fine tuned its ability to contain the inclinations and absorption of irregularities, make the car not only is comfortable, but their reactions to all kinds of situations and paths are always progressive and easy to control
