The Nissan IMx, an all-electric crossover concept vehicle offering fully autonomous operation and a driving range of more than 600 kilometers, was unveiled today at the Tokyo Motor Show. The innovative concept vehicle provides a glimpse into the future of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, Nissan\u2019s approach to changing how cars are powered, driven and integrated with society.

Nissan\u2019s designers sought to redefine the interior space of the IMx to create a sense of openness, while maintaining a feeling of privacy. To achieve this, they endeavored to design a space that links up the inside and outside of the vehicle. From the familiar V-motion grille, the supple character line rises and flows to the hood and rear end. The broad surfaces of the distinctively shaped front fenders start from the grille and expand seamlessly onto the body sides, creating a sense of layers. The vermillion accent color, contrasting vividly with the pearl white-colored body, is inspired by uramasari, which describes the beauty and extravagance found on the inside of traditional Japanese kimonos.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The IMx concept vehicle\u2019s interior adheres to the basic concept of space that can be found in a traditional Japanese house, suggesting a sense of openness. The car\u2019s panoramic OLED instrument panel displays a view of the external environment in the background. A separate, wood grain-patterned display, positioned below the instrument panel and wrapping around the interior door trims, gives occupants a subtle sense of the outside, similar to a shoji, a traditional Japanese paper screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The katanagare diagonal pattern on the seats has been delicately etched with a laser cutter. The head rest \u2013 patterned like kumiki, a Japanese interlocking wood puzzle \u2013 is made from silicon-material cushioning and a frame produced by a 3D printer. Artificial intelligence enables the driver to control the instrument panel with eye movements and hand gestures. This intuitive interface results in fewer physical controls and switches, making the cabin of the IMx simple yet highly efficient and adding to its supreme comfort.<\/p>\n<\/div>
