Concept and design
Nissan Friend-ME Concept

At Auto China 2014 in Beijing, Nissan had presented a first design for a new compact model called "Friend-ME". At the same show Nissan had presented a concept design called Lannia.[1] At the Auto Shanghai 2015, Nissan showed production model for the first time, whose design remained very close to the concept design. At this show, it was honored as "Best New Model to Come".[2] In China, classic compact sedans are popular. Nissan combines in the Lannia this classic form with eye-catching design elements such as boomerang-shaped lights, V-shaped radiator grille and wave-shaped C-pillar. The Lannia should address young buyers with its eye-catching design and modern connectivity.[3]
