Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi 2014 review - pictures

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna front driving

    The Nissan Pulsar is the first family hatch from the brand since the Almera was dropped in 2006 in favour of the Qashqai crossover. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna rear tracking

    The Pulsar is available with the same engines and on-board tech as the Qashqai. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna interior

    The interior of the Pulsar is incredibly roomy, but the quality of the plastics is consistent. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna front seats

    In terms of refinement and interior space, the Pulsar is a clear class winner. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna rear seats

    The rear seat has plenty of head and legroom, and will fit three passengers with ease. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna boot

    The boot is a generous 385-litres, but its high lip makes it hard to load heavier items into it. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna front cornering

    Like the Qashqai, the Nissan Pulsar comes with a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol and a 1.5-litre turbodiesel engine. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna rear cornering

    While the grip and steering are good and precise enough, it rolls in bends and the engines could do with a bit more urgency to keep the car going. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna rear

    From some angles, the Pulsar can look slightly awkward.

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna steering wheel

    There's plenty of kit on board, including a multifunction steering wheel, shown in this picture. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna gear lever

    The gearshift is smooth and easy to use in the Nissan Pulsar, but an auto 'box is only available in the 1.2 DiG-T petrol. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna interior detail

    The plastics inside the Nissan Pulsar are not up to the standards of those found in the Ford Focus or Seat Leon.

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna info screen

    Despite some lower quality plastics, the dash in the Nissan Pulsar feels well built and the thoughtfully laid-out.

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna wheel

    Torque vectoring helps the Nissan Pulsar reduce understeer. 

  • Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna driving

    The Pulsar is very quiet while cruising, however at higher speeds the diesel engine and the wind noise from the side mirrors are noticeable.
