What's this? A small electric concept without an 'i' suffix? Apple's lawyers will be pleased. Ladies and gentlemen, Nissan proudly presents the...Townpod. Oh.
Yes, this teaser shot is a detail of Nissan's latest electric urban mobility concept, set to debut at the Paris Motor Show. It's designed for 'home-based, innovative entrepreneurs who are creative and tech-savvy.'
So if you work in an office, that's you out of the picture. All we know right now is that the Townpod is a zero-mobility car that 'heralds a new-era of flexible, stylish vehicles that will bring electric-vehicle mobility to the masses.' Don't they all?
Oh, and we also know that it's 'more than just a van,' which suggests it is quite large.
It will be on display alongside the
facelifted Nissan X-Trail, the pair making up Nissan's only new metal in
Paris. Next to them will be the Leaf, Juke and new Micra, all of which are old timers in motor show terms.
