Nissan is no stranger to electric vehicles, having launched the pioneering Leaf hatchback in 2010. Since then, the automaker has been expanding its EV portfolio with models like the Ariya SUV and the ZEOD RC race car. Now, Nissan is giving us a glimpse of what its future EVs might look like with the Hyper Urban Concept, a radical electric crossover that will debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show later this month.
The Hyper Urban Concept is the first of a series of four EV concepts that Nissan will unveil before the Tokyo show, each with a different character and purpose. The Hyper Urban is designed for city and suburban dwellers who want a stylish and sophisticated vehicle that can also provide power and convenience to their homes and communities.
The concept features a sleek and angular design, with sharp edges, triangular shapes, and muscular curves. The front and rear lights are composed of LED strips that create a dynamic and expressive look. The concept also sports scissor doors that open upwards to reveal a spacious and futuristic cabin.
The interior of the Hyper Urban Concept is inspired by a kaleidoscope, with customizable displays and panels that can change according to the driver’s mood and preferences. The front seats can fold flat into the rear seats, creating a lounge-like space for relaxation and entertainment. The armrest can transform into a digital screen that can play movies, games, or music.
The Hyper Urban Concept is powered by an electric drivetrain that can deliver high performance and efficiency. The concept can also use its battery to supply power to homes and buildings, reducing energy costs and environmental impact. The concept also features intelligent charging technology that can autonomously charge the vehicle when needed.
The Hyper Urban Concept is a bold vision of the future from Nissan, showcasing its design and technology capabilities for its upcoming EVs. The concept will be revealed in full at the Japan Mobility Show, along with the other three EV concepts from Nissan. Stay tuned for more updates on Nissan’s exciting EV lineup.
