The Nissan Invitation is a small five-door concept car built by Nissan and first shown to the public at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.[1]
The concept formed the basis of the car that replaces the European market Nissan Note in 2013. The car will be built from mid-2013 at Nissan's Sunderland plant in the UK with the creation of 400 jobs, and 1600 in the associated supply chain.[2]
The car exhibits Nissan's "Around View Monitor" which provides the driver with a bird's-eye view of the vehicle to assist with parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces.[3]
The concept was designed and developed in Japan, but was turned into production reality by Nissan's UK based technical centre in Cranfield, Bedfordshire.[4] It shares the company's V-platform with the Nissan Micra.[5]
