Nissan has celebrated the first customer delivery of the all-new Nissan Pulsar, ahead of its full roll-out this autumn.
To mark the occasion Nissan's UEFA Champions League ambassador and FC Barcelona star, Andrés Iniesta, was on-site at the Barcelona plant where the vehicle is produced to take delivery of his Nissan Pulsar, and was given the unique opportunity to drive the all-new family hatchback off the production line.
The legendary Spanish footballer visited the Barcelona factory, where the all-new Nissan Pulsar was designed and engineered, to witness first-hand how the innovative new family hatchback has been manufactured and interact with the workers responsible for producing the vehicle.
The Barcelona factory is also home to the global production of the e-NV200 – Nissan’s second 100 percent electronic vehicle (EV) after the Nissan LEAF – as well as all versions of the NV200 destined for Europe, the Pathfinder and the Navara.
After his visit, Iniesta said: “It’s been a fantastic experience to tour Nissan’s Barcelona factory and meet the people behind creating and building some of the most innovative vehicles. The factory is one of the biggest employers and a massive supporter of the region, and I’m honoured to be the first person to receive a Nissan Pulsar built in Barcelona.”
The Nissan Pulsar will be on sale from autumn 2014 and is packed with a range of accessible and useful technologies designed to make drivers feel more confident and comfortable. Redefining expectation with award-winning advanced technology features such as Nissan Safety Shield, the Nissan Pulsar combines bold design, technical innovations and class leading interior space to bring a new dimension to the C-segment.
“The Nissan Pulsar is one of the most innovative vehicles in our range and it seems perfect that Andrés Iniesta, as a true innovator in football and one of Nissan’s Engineers of Excitement, should be the first person to take delivery of the all-new Pulsar,” Bastien Schupp, Vice President, Marketing – Nissan Europe, said.
