Nissan has confirmed that the new seven-seat Qashqai+2 will form the centrepiece of its British Motor Show display.

The car, which is longer than a standard Qashqai, will have two more rear seats for children or for occasional adult use, as well as an additional 90 litres of luggage space.

The British Motor Show runs from 23 July to August 3.

New Murano
The revamped Murano range will be on show, before going on sale towards the end of this year.

Although it looks much like the previous car, the car has a new chassis, updated styling and an upgraded interior.

Its 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine and continuously variable (CVT) automatic gearbox have been revised, too, and the suspension is lighter to improve ride and handling.

Note Acenta S
Already on sale, the special-edition Note Acenta S will also be displayed.

Powered by a 102bhp 1.5-litre diesel engine, the car gets from 0-62mph in 11.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 112mph. It averages 55.4mpg and emits 136g/km of carbon dioxide. A particulate filter cuts out sooty emissions, too.

Costing £400 more than the Acenta, extra features include climate control, automatic headlamps and wipers, and a six-CD player with MP3 connectivity.

There's also an intelligent key system, which automatically locks the car as you leave it and unlocks it as you approach it.

GT-R
Nissan's GT-R supercar will be on display, too. Although deliveries won't begin in the UK until March next year, more than 1000 have already been ordered.

The car, which costs from £52,900, blasts from 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 195mph.

Micra 25 Special Edition
Nissan will also reveal a special-edition Micra, celebrating the supermini's 25th year of being on sale in Europe. No further details have been released.

Qashqai Sound & Style
The show will be used to launch a limited edition of the standard Qashqai, called the Sound & Style.

Powered by a choice of a 2.0-litre petrol or diesel engine, the car features a Bose sound system and enhanced styling features. The car will go on sale in November, but no prices have been released.

Denki Cube Concept
You'll also be able to see Nissan's electric Denki Cube Concept car. Based on the current-generation Cube, which is sold in Japan, it highlights Nissan's latest electric motor drivetrain.
