Gulf Weekly Blade to cut the competition at show

Nissan is aiming to please at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show 2013 to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from Saturday to December 1. The Japanese automaker’s exhibit will be headlined by the unveiling of its next-generation electric vehicle concept, the Blade Glider.

The Blade Glider’s triangular form is a case study in aerodynamics. While obtaining down-force which helps the vehicle hug the ground, the car minimises wind-resistance to the limit as well as acceleration and energy saving performance.

Its narrow front track and wide, stable rear track reduces drag while generating downforce to enhance manoeuvrability and road-hugging performance.

At the show, the automaker will reveal several new concept cars, present the Nissan GT-R Nismo and reveal the upcoming Nissan DAYZ ROOX. In addition, Nissan will also be exhibiting its Autonomous Drive technology, safety technology and other innovations.

Nissan DAYZ ROOX – a ‘super-height’ wagon is the second vehicle in Nissan’s popular Nissan DAYZ series of mini-cars.

The model boasts dynamic exterior styling, a spacious-feeling and premium interior design its makers say.  Some of its more interesting features include a ‘Green windshield’, which filters out 99 per cent of UV rays. There is also a new cost-effective battery-assist system that relieves burden on engine. The model is due to be launched in Japan in early 2014.

The third generation of the Nissan Teana sedan, also known as Maxima, will also debut. It’s built with Nissan’s Modern Living philosophy. It’s planned for a Japanese launch later this month.

Rounding out the company’s stand are the X-Trail SUV, Serena minivan, Note small car, Elgrand minivan, Nissan Leaf Aero and the e-NV-200.
