The Invitation will be unveiled at this year's Geneva International Motor Show, with a UK launch for the production version planned in 2013.
François Bancon, Deputy Division General Manager of Product Strategy and Product Planning Division, said: "The name we have given to this concept is self-explanatory. It is designed to be inviting thanks to its sensuous exterior design and generous and comfortable interior space, cleverly packaged within compact overall dimensions."
Nissan is aiming for an ultra-low CO2 emission target of under 100g/km for the most frugal model and with all versions eligible to wear Nissan's Pure Drive badge. At the same time, Nissan is keen to stress the Invitation will benefit from responsive, agile handling, to offer drivers a dynamic and rewarding drive, as the Japanese car maker hopes to compete with the top performers in the segment.
The Invitation will come equipped with all the latest safety features, including Nissan's Around View Monitor (AVM) safety technology - seen for the first time on a B-segment car - which makes reversing and parallel parking as stress-free as possible. In addition, the Invitation incorporates the Nissan Safety Shield Technologies, which interacts with the driving environment keeping the driver aware of what is happening around the car.
The Nissan Invitation will on display at the Geneva Motor Show, which opens its doors to the public on the 8th of March.
