Nissan is to introduce its new Murano SUV to the market in January, with a likely price for the 3.5-litre 240bhp 4x4 of €60,665.

Other moves in the New Year include the arrival of the new Pathfinder SUV - a name no longer to be linked with pick-ups - along with changes to the mainstream line-up.

These include higher specifications for the Almera, Primera and Micra ranges, now with entry-level models called SX, higher level SV and SVE replacing the Techna name. A common feature of the new SVE range is alloy wheels as standard.

However, on the Primera - which has also received an interior makeover, a colour reversing camera is now standard in the range, while satellite navigation features on the range topping SVE.

For all the makeovers, prices remain relatively unchanged. The Primera starts at €24,695 for the entry SX.

For the Almera, prices remain unchanged, despite the spec upgrade, while the Micra also sees added features with prices still starting at €14,790.

The workhorse of the brand, the Patrol SUV, is also getting a facelift next year, with a particular overhaul of the interior.
