TOKYO — Encouraged by its highly successful Murano SUV, which came on the market in 2003 in the United States and in 2004 in Europe, Nissan is now developing a sister model for the smaller end of the SUV model range.
The new compact Nissan SUV is set to rival the likes of the BMW X3, the just-released new Toyota RAV4, and the upcoming smaller C-Class-based MLK by DaimlerChrysler, which is scheduled for a 2008 debut.
Here are the first photos showing a prototype, which was spotted testing on a remote country road in Europe and on an ice lake in Scandinavia. The new all-wheel-drive Nissan will adapt some of the styling elements of the Murano and is expected to be powered by 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines with perhaps a six-cylinder power plant for the top model. According to inside sources, the new Nissan compact SUV will be a world car, set for launch sometime in 2007.
What this means to you: Nissan could see some major profits from this sector if they can get this baby to market.

It will adapt various styling elements from the successful Murano, has all wheel drive and is expected to be powered by 2,0 litre four cylinder fuel and Diesel engines.
