Nissan news in brief

The Nissan Qashqai appears with fresh frontal styling at the Geneva motor show, and these changes affect both the five- and seven-seat versions.

There's also a new Eco Qashqai 1.5-litre diesel, with aerodynamic tweaks and longer gearing to bring the CO2 output down to 129g/km.

Nissan's hulking Pathfinder 4x4 also gets a refresh inside and out, and is now available with a new 235bhp 3.0-litre diesel as well as an uprated 188bhp 2.5-litre diesel.
