Nissan took the covers of yet another concept vehicle, the Nissan Hyper Tourer.

This concept is number 3 in the vast array of Nissan’s concepts at the Japan Mobility Show from October 25. Some of the concepts will be digital, but the Nissan Hyper Tourer is there in all its physical glory.

As EVs continue to bend the horizon between the possible and the fantastic, Nissan Hyper Tourer concept is intended as a super-luxury road transport, regardless of the length of the journey. Omotenashi is the name given to Japanese hospitality, and this sense of generosity blends with technology for an experience that currently appears only in science fiction novels.

A tempting the glimpse into the future sees autonomous driving giving the driver an opportunity to interact with passengers using the swivel chairs to directly face rearwards.

The V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) functionality and high-capacity battery allows the flow of energy both ways, and to be used any way the infrastructure will allow. As we’ve explored in previous stories, EVs will form part of a grid storage solution, be able to power remote sites, and to give the occupants the full home experience while out on the road.

Outside:

Looks are subjective, but no one can doubt the smooth body panels and sharp lines give a sense of old Japan, evoking the art of origami and ancient architecture. It is only a clue as to where the designer’s minds are going, and there is only so much you can do with a vehicle shaped like a fridge. But once seen, you’d be unlikely for forget the wedges, scallops and sculptured angles.

The Cabin:

Interiors are where imaginations can really be let run loose. Nissan EV interiors will be even rommier with promised high-energy density all-solid-state batteries taking up less of the space needed for luxury and occupants.

Despite the size and height of the exterior, there is a low centre of gravity. Travellers won’t be jostled with e-4ORCE all-wheel drive making the experience serenely smooth. Japanese kumiko and koushi patterns feature in the overhead console, and with ambient and feature lighting, make the cabin feel luxurious, but not in a way we currently understand the term. Although unlikely to make it into any kind of production car, the flat LED panel in the floor displays imagery of a riverbed and the sky, bringing the openness into an era many may find fascinating, but I’d wager will be the first thing turned off. Imagine that after 2 hours on the road?

As mentioned, autonomous driving enables those in the driver’s seat swivel 360-degrees, allowing face-to-face discussions with those in the back, whether they want to or not. Let that sink in for a bit.

Anyone with children would probably want to deactivate this feature as well: Rear-seat passengers can use a wearable display to view and operate the navigation and audio on the front-seat centre display. An AI system can monitor the occupant’s biometric signs such as brain waves, heart rate, breathing and perspiration. It can then alter climate, music, and lighting, to create an atmosphere to suit the mood. It might even create an ambience to sooth savaged nerves after a difficult journey.

Nissan Hyper Tourer concept aims to bring the comfort of a luxurious living room with the convenience of a passenger van, but, it is only a concept.
