Nissan GT-R
What is it? Godzilla is here.
What’s new? Even though this one will be replaced soon globally, Nissan brought the GT-R to India finally. The 911 Turbo challenger comes with all the things that matter – not gadgets and gizmos, but an all-wheel drive, multiple driving modes and a dual clutch transmission. How can we not mention the top speed? Only 315 kph.
What’s under the hood? A hand-made 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 that blows your mind with 545 bhp and 46.3 kgm of torque.
Launch date? Late 2016.
Competition check : Porsche 911 Turbo, Audi R8.
Expected price? Rs 1.75-2 crore
Nissan X-Trail
What is it? Third generation of Nissan’s soft-roader.
What’s new? Nissan’s previous outing with the X-Trail didn’t exactly make a splash. But this time the X-Trail is well prepared. Featuring Nissan’s new design language, the new X-Trail bears very little resemblance to its predecessors. Exterior and interiors have been refreshed to make the X-Trail look more modern and contemporary. The Hybrid variant will come to India as well.
What’s under the hood? The 2.0-litre hybrid motor is what we are expecting in the X-Trail, which will make 147 bhp and 20.7 kgm of torque.
Launch date? Late 2016.
Competition check : Hyundai Santa Fe, Honda CR-V.
Expected price? Rs 30-35 lakh
