Nissan Friend-Me concept arrives at the 2014 Auto Expo

 Sharing the centre stage with the facelifted Sunny, Nissan’s striking looking

Friend-Me concept has made its Indian debut at the 2014 Auto Expo.

Earlier shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Friend-Me concept

reportedly combines sporty and dynamic new design features with a cabin

that showcases Nissan's latest vision of in-car technology and entertainment.

The front end is dominated by a deep-set V-motion grille that frames the

backlit Nissan badge and extends outwards to incorporate striking headlamp

clusters at either end.

Introducing an exciting new design language, the distinctive v-shaped

contours flow elegantly over the front wings and down the sides of the car to

create a powerful, taut profile. Further back, Friend-Me's floating roof and

shallow glass area provide strong visual links to other members of the Nissan

family, while kick-up shape around the C- pillar creates another striking

styling cue. The rear of Friend-Me incorporates more dramatic elements

including racing-style underfloor venturi and bold boomerang-shaped lamp

clusters.

Friend-Me features four individual lounge-style seats designed to deliver

maximum comfort and safety levels to passengers.

Powering the Friend-Me concept is an efficient PureDrive hybrid power-train

that offers superior economy and low emissions with flexible range. The

Nissan-developed drive-train combines a petrol engine with latest-gen

lithium-ion battery, promising a seamless driving experience.
