Nissan’s has revealed yet another digital concept ahead of the Japan Mobility Show, this time unveiling the Nissan Hyper Tourer – a bonkers electric minivan that “focuses on nurturing and reinforcing the bond between people as they journey together”.
What does that mean? We’re not entirely sure, either. But we do know the Nissan Hyper Tourer, which exists only digitally for now – but will be presented physically at the Tokyo show – does look like a very comfy way to spend a road trip.
Equipped with V2X capability – or vehicle to anything – and with a “high-capacity battery”, Nissan says the Hyper Tourer can store and share enough charge to power homes, shops or offices, and it is equipped with full autonomous drive, meaning eyes and hands off for the driver, and more time to chat.
For that chat, you’ll spin the driver’s seat around to face the rear, and your passengers. Speaking of which, backseat riders can also access a “wearable display” to operate the navigation and audio.
The driver, meanwhile, has access to an AI-powered system that monitors vitals through biometrics, including brain waves, heart rate, breath and perspiration, and can calm the cabin through music and mood lighting if it senses you’re getting worked up.
Elsewhere, solid-state batteries deliver the driving power, and e-4ORCE all-wheel drive provides extra grip and stability.
All of it is in concept form only, for now, but Nissan says this “luxurious living room” will inspire future product. So, watch this space.
