Nissan Motor Company has introduced the 12th generation Skyline to the Japanese market, developed under the ethos 'attraction, sophistication and high-performance driving'. The exterior aims to express 'dynamic rhythm', achieved by giving a low-drag aerodynamic look with longer hood and greater acceleration in the upper window line. At the front, the sculpted grille is better integrated with the surrounding surfaces while the rear will seem familiar to Infiniti drivers.

Inside the designers have given the IP a cockpit feel biased towards the driver. The top molding is quite deep, giving a feeling of protection, and lightened by a metallic strip. This aluminum trim takes its inspiration from 'washi', Japanese rice paper, with bubinga wood as an option. Compared to the car it replaces, the new Nissan Skyline sits 20mm wider and 20mm lower, while the front seats have also been dropped 27mm. Engine options are the 2.5-liter V6 producing 225PS and a 3.5l version with 315PS.
