Looks like the Fit to me.

I hope they put a very wide ratio 6 speed manual in it so I can get one for my '07.

unfortunately, we know that it will almost definitely look nothing like that. I imagine the interior will be almost identical to the 2012 sedan and the front end will look similar as well. I'm thinking the rear may look a lot like the juke. Just my opinion.

I'm also hoping we get a version with the mr16ddt from the juke.

More about Nissan Invitation concept













The Invitation is Nissan's high-volume B-segment contender (also called sub-compact class by Americans) and is rumored to be the replacement for Europe's Nissan Note (following photo) It will join the Micra hatch and Juke crossover in the automaker European lineup in 2013.



The key benefit of this sub-compact hatch is to offer "generous and comfortable interior space within compact overall dimensions" - the same tack that Nissan employed when it conceived the Tiida/Versa/Latio triumvirate way back in 2003.

Interestingly, the abovementioned trio was previewed as the Nissan C-Note concept (following photo) at the 2003 Tokyo motor show, a year before the production cars were launched. The '03 C-Note concept rides on a stretched version of Nissan's 'B-platform' that also underpinned a variety of Nissan and Renault cars including the Micra/March, Cube, and the Renault Clio 3 and Modus mini-MPV.



It remains to be seen of the Invitation's role in US market.

I think that will be the new hatch. It has been released last year in China.

Hi Krissj,

The '13 Tiida looks like a bigger car to me, though.

It has been confirmed Singaporean market will get the Invitation hatch next year in two engine states of tune: a 1.2-liter NA and a 1.2-liter supercharger. Nissan hopes to earn conquest sales from the Honda Jazz (aka Fit) and the Suzuki Swift with its new small hatch.
