This tremendous growth comes after Nissan began localizing production and investments, which allowed them to respond quickly an capitalize on market opportunities across the region. Paul Willcox, Chairman of Nissan Europe, said: “Nissan’s commitment to bold design, great quality, and accessible technology is demonstrated here today with the release of the stunning new Gripz Concept that will re-invent the compact crossover segment. In recent years, we’ve completely re-defined what Nissan means for our customers. We have a track record of bringing the ‘best to the most’ – first.” Cardinale Nissan hopes that sales continue to grow across the Atlantic, so that new models make their way over to the states.

Nissan Gripz Attracts all the Attention at Frankurt Motor Show

Nissan recently took the covers off the Gripz model at the Frankfurt Motor Show and it has received very good feedback so far. The Gripz is part car, part coupe, part hybrid, part rally car. The Japanese automaker drew in inspiration from the 240Z Safari rally car and is considered Nissan’s first crossover model ever. Shiro Nakamura, Nissan’s Senior Vice President for design and Chief Creative Officer, explained how the crossover can quickly turn into a performance model. The driver has the ability to switch driving modes at the touch of a button; the car can go from EV mode to 4×4 mode in just a matter of seconds. Additionally, the Gripz can go from off-road model to Drift mode, which triggers the heart of the Gripz to give you the same feel as a rear-wheel drive sportscar. Cardinale Nissan is keeping a close eye on this model and we hope it goes into production soon so that we can see it on our lots as early as next year.
