The top half of the Dualis features a dynamic, sleek form with a special shoulder line rising at the rear - the same design as that of the Nissan Murano. The bottom half looks like an SUV due to a slightly elevated ground clearance and huge, pronounced wheel arches.

Color options include White, Black, Silver, Green, Red and Grey.

IV. Engine

The Nissan Dualis is available in 2.0 S, 2.0G, 2.0S Four, and 2.0 G Four trim levels. All models are equipped with a 2.0L MR20DE engine paired with 6-speed Xtronic CVT. The overall performance is enough for the car to do its job and little more. The car is responsive enough to feel capable around city, though there is little fun or excitement to be had, unlike some of its more driver-focused competitors.

The driver runs smoothly and quite if you are not pushing it. But the engine has a breathy note, high-pitched when running at higher revs and makes a bit of noise when paired with the CVT. It has to work hard when you go up hills or when overtalking.

The steering feels overly light and offers little feedback at the straight-ahead position, although there is a decent consistency about its weighting and a desirable, easy lightness at lower speeds.
