A Piece of the Qazana Puzzle

Remember a few posts back when we told you to “expect some teaser photos or official renderings [of the upcoming Nissan Qazana concept to be released as the Geneva Show nears“? Well, it seems Nissan intends to do this the hard way. They released the barest of teaser pics of the concept crossover: a shot of the upper left hand corner of the much-anticipated CUV’s front view.

The blue headlight thingy looks interesting, and again we see the aggressive edges in the exterior.

Well, that’s all there is to see so far. Who knows, maybe Nissan will release pics of the tail lights in a few days before showing us the completed puzzle.

Nissan gave an announcement following the unveiling of the Qashqai concept last year, that there was going to ba a new compact crossover to be released alongside the Qashqai. Now, the Japanese automaker has announced that the crossover will be called the Qazana, nearly a month before it is launched at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show due March.

The Nissan Qazana teaser sketch

We only have the teaser sketch (which only hints at the barest outlines of the Qazana) from 2008 so far, but expect some teaser photos or official renderings to be released as the Geneva Show nears. The Qazana will reportedly be a smaller version of the Qashqai, with similar styling and retaining the 5-door body. Development of the Qazana was done mostly in Europe, with Nissan said to have invested $100 million in the development of this compact CUV.

Can’t wait for them to reveal the finished (concept) product. If all you’ve got is a three-stroke gestural lineart for months, you just can’t help but expect something really mesmerizing once the Qazana is unveiled in March.
