*NISSAN DEBUTS XMOTION CONCEPT AT 2018 DETROIT AUTO SHOW*

January 2018: Detroit MI: At the 2018 Detroit Auto Show, Nissan revealed
the Xmotion Concept, a design exploration for a potentially groundbreaking
compact SUV, building on the company’s long history of cutting-edge
crossovers and SUVs. The six-passenger, three-row Nissan Xmotion
(pronounced "cross motion") concept fuses Japanese culture and traditional
craftsmanship with American-style utility and new-generation Nissan
Intelligent Mobility technology.

The Xmotion Concept features strong hints of a traditional SUV – the high
stance, high-utility proportions and bulked-up fenders, stuffed with
all-terrain-ready wheels and tires. In a nod to that past, Nissan invited
craftspeople from Kyoto, Japan’s GO ON project to demonstrate several
ancient techniques during the show. The visual simplicity of the Xmotion
concept exterior is contrasted by the rugged, metal-crafted wheels and
all-terrain tire design. Like the rest of vehicle, the mechanical
tool-inspired wheels and all-terrain tires coexist as one piece, with the
tire tread physically laminated over the 21-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
Additional exterior features include a retractable "rooftop box" and a
unique tail light design inspired by Japanese woodwork.

With its long wheelbase, with wheels and tires pushed out to the extremes
of the corners, the Xmotion concept allows for the creation of a fresh,
"4+2" passenger layout. Featuring three rows of side-by-side individual
seats, it's designed to provide a perfect space for a young couple, another
couple and two children or pets in the third row. The Xmotion concept's
instrument panel design is a modern interpretation of traditional kigumi
wood joinery. By using the kigumi structure in the instrument panel and
console, the vehicle's interior suggests a robust bone structure, creating
a sense of strength and trust.
