Nissan unveils teaser for new generation Skyline

After 12 years, Nissan is finally ready to replace the existing Skyline sedan with a new generation model.

The Japanese manufacturer has also revealed several teaser images showcasing the front and rear design of this sporty sedan.

Inspiration from Previous Models

According to Nissan’s global design director, Alfonso Albaisa, the new Skyline draws inspiration from earlier versions of the model.

The design influence from previous sedans, particularly the Hakosuka, is evident in the angular and aggressive headlight shape.

The front also features an ‘S’ logo.

The rear showcases dual round taillights, accompanied by the ‘Skyline’ lettering on the side fender.

Currently, no further details have been provided regarding the engine specifications for the new Skyline model.

Is a GT-R Version Coming?

Unfortunately, the arrival of the new generation Skyline does not indicate the introduction of a new GT-R model.

This is because the GT-R has been a standalone high-performance nameplate since it separated from the R34 model and has been used on the R35 since 2007.

Three New Models Besides Skyline

At the same time, Nissan has revealed three entirely new models: the Nissan Juke EV, Nissan Rogue/X-Trail e-Power, and Nissan XTerra.

The Nissan Juke EV is built on the CMF-EV platform and features a significantly more radical design.

The Nissan Rogue e-Power comes equipped with a powertrain system consisting of a 3-cylinder engine and two electric motors.

Lastly, the Nissan XTerra, a body-on-frame SUV, is set to arrive in 2028, boasting an aggressive front design.

KIA has released teaser images of their next electric vehicle (EV), the EV3. It will be fully unveiled on May 23 as a compact electric SUV slotted below the EV5.

For your information, the EV3 was first previewed by the Concept EV3 in October last year. Kia’s teaser images indicate that it will retain most of its exterior design cues for production.

Kia Concept EV3

Similar to the EV9, Kia applies the ‘Opposites United’ philosophy to the design of the EV3, as evident from the striking boxy fenders and tailgate.

The EV3 also carries the brand’s signature Star Map lighting at the front and rear, along with black-painted C pillars to create the floating roof effect.

Interior images have not been revealed yet; however, we anticipate a design and layout not significantly different from Kia’s existing EV models.

Likewise, technical details of the EV3 are unknown for now, but according to reports, it is built on the E-GMP platform with a 400V architecture, as opposed to the 800V system in the EV6 and EV9.

Kia says the EV3 will go on sale later this year following its global world premiere.
