Nissan Crossovers in Urbanproof Playground

Nissan Europe has launched two new models, the New Murano and the New Qashqai+2, with a visual effects-laden set of television commercials, showing the vehicles in a dancing contest. The television advertising campaign presents the Murano and Qashqai as two city gangs, each expressing their unique personality. The Murano comes from the upscale part of the city while Qashqai and Qashqai +2 come from the more gritty areas. Murano is refined and imposing while Qashqai is quick and agile. These two gangs like to challenge each other but as they both own the city, they also share similar values and respect each other. They will settle their differences through a dance battle where each of their moves reflect their respective attitude and personality before ending in a beautifully choreographed finale inspired from classic American musicals.
