To celebrate Nissan’s sales success of its crossover range in Europe, the carmaker has prepared two unique ‘Premium Concept’ versions of its Qashqai and X-Trail. Both cars will go on display at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.
Starting with Qashqai, which is the work of Nissan Design Europe (NDE) in London, the crossover receives a matte black paintjob along with golden copper-coloured accents on various areas of the exterior –wheel arches, around the window line, in the headlamp clusters and on the roof rails.
The Qashqai Premium Concept also uses authentic carbon-fibre in lower sections of the vehicle to reinforce its sporty appeal, along with an enhanced V-motion grille and 20-inch wheels.

No shots of the interior were provided, but Nissan say that soft white Nappa leather upholstery is used, enhanced by the use of golden copper gold weave and carbon-fibre trim pieces. The steering wheel and gear shifter meanwhile, gets a black satin chrome and liquid gloss black finish.
Moving on to the X-Trail Premium Concept, where matte white paint is used as opposed to its sibling. The paintjob is contrasted with a deep black matte carbon-fibre look for the crossover’s hood and roof. This ‘go-anywhere’ look is complemented by a front skid plate finished in golden copper, with gloss black accents on the body and fenders. Like the Qashqai, it too receives 20-inch wheels.
Similarly, no shots of the X-Trail’s interior were given. However, it is said to get a leather upholstery with a natural tan and black colour. The seats are feature Ultrasuede with gold pearl leather piping. Elsewhere, black carbon fibre finishing and matt chrome black are used on the dashboard and door trim.
