When driving at night, AFS uses driving speed and steering wheel direction to adjust the headlights left or right in the direction of travel to provide better illumination of the road ahead.

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

Nissan Skyline Crossover Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

VDC helps prevent under and over steer and skidding. This advanced system uses sensors to determine vehicle speed, acceleration and braking. It uses this information to automatically control the engine output and can either apply brake pressure or cut power completely to individual wheels.

Standard Features

Bluetooth is available on all Nissan Skyline Crossover models for hands free smartphone connectivity and a USB port was added in the centre console to 2010 models which allows charging and connection of your smartphone / iPad / iPod for playing music etc.

Engine

The Nissan Skyline Crossover 370GT is powered by a 3.7 Litre VVEL V6 engine producing 245Kw of power with a 7,500rpm redline. This is the same engine used in the Nissan 370Z. The VVEL engine modifies the angle and lift of the intake valves according to acceleration and speed.

7 Speed Automatic Transmission

All models come with 7 Speed automatic transmission as standard. Type P Premium models are tiptronic with two titanium paddle shift levers behind the steering wheel to allow manual gear changes.

Smart Key

Nissan Skyline Crossover Smart Key

This key fob comes with all Skyline Crossovers and is a proximity based intelligent key system which allow you lock, unlock and start the vehicle while in your pocket. Both front doors have a small button next to the handle which is pushed to activate the central locking. The boot lid has a similar button built in. The remote fob controls the central locking and opens the boot. Should the fob battery go flat, an emergency key located inside can be used to open the door, the fob can then be placed into a lit slot in the dash to the right of the driver’s knee to start the car.

Push to Start

The Start / Stop button replaces the standard ignition slot which is no longer required thanks to the intelligent key.

Self-healing paint

Standard for all models, the scratch shield paint heals minor scratches to the body of the car over time. This is due to a heat-activated elastic polymer resin. Note that the service life of the scratch shield paint under normal conditions is considered to be 3 – 5 years.

Touchscreen TV Menu
