Nissan is looking at developing a coupe version of its new Qashqai to enter the market for coupe SUVs led by the Range Rover Evoque, writes Brian Byrne.
The moves was confirmed during a Nissan press event in Spain last week.
The second generation Qashqai (pictured above) is now on sale in Ireland. It is built in Sunderland, England, where the new Infiniti Q30 will be built for Europe.
Which begs a question — will the coupe Qashqai actually become an Infiniti model, to pitch to the premium buyers mostly in the coupe SUV market? The Japan-built EX30d medium crossover was launched in Europe in 2010, with a 3.0 diesel V6. It's available in the UK, but never made it to Ireland.
