Nissan Sway concept debuts in Geneva

Nissan might be about to launch a rather interesting-looking small hatchback. The Sway, which has been unveiled in concept form at the Geneva Motor Show, adopts a striking design that's intended to appeal to European tastes.

A length of 4,010 mm (13’ 2”) means it would slot into Nissan's range between the 3,780 mm (12’ 5”) Micra and 4,100 mm (13’ 5”) Note. The new model could even replace the former.

One of the Sway's most arresting styling cues is a continuous swage line that starts from the V-shaped front grille, kinks down through the front doors and then ends across the tail. Further visual interest is provided by the blacked-out C-pillars, distinctive rear light clusters and two-tone colour scheme.

Certain elements probably won't survive the transition to production, though. They include an absence of any B-pillars, the rear-hinged back doors and the glazed roof with its integrated X-structure.

For the interior, Nissan has used structural aluminium components and a simple 'gliding wing' dashboard. Faux-suede dark blue upholstery is complemented by ivory and orange trim.
