The Honda Jazz e:HEV received the maximum rating of five stars in the new Euro NCAP safety test with more stringent criteria. The modern body structure and the comprehensive safety and driver assistance package offer the highest level of active and passive safety and ensure that the Jazz remains one of the safest vehicles on the European market. The Honda Jazz, which in the new generation is exclusively a hybrid vehicle, is the first Honda model in Europe with a standard central front airbag. The airbag is located in the backrest of the redesigned driver's seat and extends into the space between the driver and front passenger. In the event of a side impact, it prevents direct contact between the driver and front passenger or reduces the force of a collision. Three fastening belts ensure that the airbag unfolds in the optimum position.

Nissan Sunderland Plant is marking the start of production of the third generation Qashqai with a renewed pledge to inspire future generations of manufacturing talent. Following a £400m investment, the latest version of the segment-defining crossover is now rolling off the plant’s production Line One, as the plant celebrates 35 years of manufacturing in the UK. Qashqai represents one in five of all cars built in Britain since its launch 14 years ago – and to celebrate the new generation model, Nissan is offering every schoolchild in North East England the opportunity to take part in a Nissan Skills Foundation event – the company’s programme of activities designed to excite youngsters about careers in manufacturing and engineering.
Since its debut in 1997, the Elgrand has helped pioneer Japan’s “premium minivan” segment, earning a reputation for its spacious, luxurious interiors and engaging driving performance. The fourth-generation model builds upon this legacy, incorporating Nissan’s latest electrified powertrain technologies and a sophisticated design that elevates driving enjoyment and comfort for all onboard. Scheduled for launch in Japan in summer 2026, the all-new Elgrand promises a smooth, quiet, and elevated ride, setting the stage for extraordinary journeys that inspire excitement. The exterior design embodies Nissan’s "Timeless Japanese Futurism" design language, which draws inspiration from traditional Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetics, reimagining them using the latest techniques, materials, and technologies. It features a commanding stance, with a grille motif inspired by the Japanese Kumiko pattern that seamlessly blends into the frontal light signature. The vehicle’s color palette includes Fuji Dawn, a new hue inspired by the combination of dawn over Mount Fuji, and Shigoku, a deep red-purple symbolizing elegance and nobility. Inside, the cabin exudes a private lounge-like atmosphere, where second-row passengers will indulge in the comfort of zero-gravity captain’s chairs. TailorFitTM leather and woodgrain accents, along with Kumiko-inspired patterns on the door and seat trims, complement the segment-first dual 14.3-inch integrated displays that combine driver information and infotainment, enhancing the luxurious ambience. Available Bose® 22-speaker premium sound and 64-colour ambient lighting further elevate the sensory experience.
