Nissan To Reveal Four Exciting New Concepts At Home Show In Tokyo Nissan

They’re expecting quads at Nissan! The Japanese brand is preparing to deliver four stunning concepts at this month’s Tokyo Motor Show.

Bosses are pulling out all the stops at the firm’s home expo with a futuristic saloon, open-topped supermini and trendy van among its star attractions.

The Intima previews what’s in store from the next-generation version of Nissan’s Maxima, which was last sold in the UK in 2002. Neat details include barn-style doors to aid access and a huge panoramic glass windscreen that extends back into the roofline.

The Mercedes S-Class-sized luxury car also has two-piece headlamps that span the front wing and bonnet, tiny, ultra-aerodynamic mirrors and twin tail-pipes integrated with the rear bumper. It features a new V6 diesel engine.

Next up is the NV200, which looks like a cross between the A-Team van and Thunderbird 2. The chunky concept gets a slide-out rear end rather than conventional doors, and has been kitted out for an ocean photographer. That explains the underwater swimming gear in the back, as well as the computer monitors inside.
