The tiny soft-roader, which would sit below the Nissan Dualis in the maker’s ever-expanding off-roader stable, is basically a high-riding city hatchback with a mix of off-road and sports-coupe styling cues. The pumped out wheel arches, chunky tyres and under body protection scream SUV, but the narrow, visor-like windows, hidden rear door handles and swooping roofline give it a sporty feel.
