The Nissan Pulsar will take on the VW Golf, Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra when it arrives in UK showrooms this autumn. The new C-segment model will be offered in both saloon and hatch forms, with an estate unlikely given the success of the Nissan Juke SUV.

Yes, but an official reveal will take place on May 20. From the single teaser images issued so far, it’s clear that the Pulsar will have the same chrome V adorning the grille as the new Juke, X-Trail and Qashqai, clearly part of the new corporate identity for the brand.

The Pulsar badge was used in foreign markets on the previous Almera and Sunny models that were sold in the UK, and dates back to the late ’70s. It used here briefly in the early 1990s on the N14 model, which also wore the Sunny badge and gave us the wild turbocharged, all-wheel drive Sunny GTI-R model.
