Competing against the Peugeot 3008 and the Honda Odyssey, Nissan have provided their latest weapon in the seven-seater battlefield. What the latest Nissan Dualis+2 has over the standard Nissan Dualis model is a stretched chassis platform to accommodate two extra seats in the back of the vehicle. Roomy for all occupants, the Dualis+2 is good at providing comfortable transport for seven.

The stretched body also gives the new Nissan Dualis+2 an attractive appearance – perhaps one of the nicest seven-seater SUV designs. Loaded with high technology, the interior boasts plenty of amusing features – both fun and practical. The Ti is exceptionally well endowed with features. Leather seats, MP3 compatibility, bluetooth communications, an in-dash six-CD changer, a cooled glove box, heated front seats, a multi-function steering wheel, a panoramic glass roof, a back-lit instrument display, cruise control, air-conditioning and an advanced onboard computer are all standard Ti features.

The Nissan Dualis+2 Ti AWD is exceptional value for money, and every Dualis+2 offers a decent ride. Under the nicely rounded bonnet lines is a 2.0-litre petrol engine that puts out a willing 102 kW of power. Linked to a CVT transmission, the performance feels very smooth and seamless, and at open road speeds the Dualis+2 sits very solidly on the road. Appealing, is the high seating elevation which enables you to get a tremendous view of the road ahead.

Safety-wise, the 2010 Nissan Dualis+2 comes with a proven record. ANCAP safety tests have given the thumbs up for giving the Dualis a five-star-safety rating. Nissan’s relationship with Renault has obviously paid off, and Nissan cars are now providing some seriously modern and safe vehicles. Front fog lamps, rain sensing wipers and auto sensing headlights ensure that the road ahead is well under check, from the driver’s perspective. EBD, ABS, VDC, TCS, airbags front and side, special crumple zones, four disc brakes and active head restraints complete the picture of security.

Elegant exterior lines help you feel that you’re driving something a little special. The leaf-style alloys look exceptionally nice, and with 18-inch rims the Dualis+2 looks the part.

Not many competitors can offer as much for the same price, so the Nissan Dualis+2 is well worth checking out.
