2026 Nissan Rasheen

The Nissan Rasheen is a compact crossover SUV with four-wheel drive capabilities, produced from November 1994 to August 2000 by Nissan. It is a five-seater with a rugged, quirky and angularly styled five-door body and it was available only for Japanese market.
In one of my previous renders, I tried to make an all-new Rasheen by using the newest X-Trail as a base model, but the results didn't satisfy me and I uploaded it as a "rugged" X-Trail with design inspired by its first 2 generations (2000-2007 & 2007-2013). But this time, I got a new inspiration by the new Nissan Micra EV/Renault 5 E-Tech duo. The new electric Micra has the retro design from 90s and early 00s Micra and it's the same car that spawned the all-new Renault 5 E-Tech, which in its turn has the retro design from the original 5 from 70s & 80s.
This badge-engineering example gave me the idea to "spawn" a Nissan from the all new Renault 4 E-Tech, another retro-styled model, which was released at the same time with 5 E-Tech and it's inspired by the original Renault 4 from 70s. I compared the all-new 4 E-Tech with the 90s JDM Rasheen and I found out that they have similarites in their size and shape. So, here's my "new" Rasheen, based on Renault's new model!
