Nissan showcases new design direction with Vmotion 2.0 concept

Nissan today signaled the future direction of the company’s sedan design direction and intelligent-mobility technology with the world debut of the Nissan Vmotion 2.0 concept at the 2017 North American International Auto Show.

The Vmotion 2.0 concept combines “a high sense of style, emotional design, space, comfort and technology to make the mobility experience seamless for busy professionals”. The concept offers hints at the future of Nissan’s roadmap to achieve zero emissions and zero fatalities, which the company calls Intelligent-Mobility.

“Technology is evolving. So is design. At Nissan we see design as the ultimate expression of how customers see themselves, but also an expression of the vision and values of our brand,” said
Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at Nissan. “Vmotion 2.0 previews what the future designs from Nissan will be. And it is an insightful proposition of what the future sedan could be in the coming years.”

The Nissan Vmotion 2.0 concept’s dramatic silhouette is characterised by a “floating roof,” with a line flowing seamlessly from the steeply raked A-pillars to the boot lid. An extended wheelbase shows off the car’s generous cabin, while the distinctive body surface is defined by Nissan’s”Emotional Geometry” design language. The body is crafted in a warm silver paint with copper undertones. With a layered effect for the paint finish, a glimpse of the body at different angles is said to reveal a subtle but different hue.
