Persona-Specific EVs

Nissan Unveils Four Striking EV Concepts Dubbed the 'Nissan Futures'

— November 30, 2021 — Autos
Japanese automaker Nissan has unveiled the 'Nissan Futures,' a line of four new electric vehicle concepts, each of which is geared to a specific driving "persona." These include the playfully named Chill-Out, Max-Out, Hang-Out, and Surf-Out.

The Chill-Out is a sleek, crossover SUV that utilizes Nissan's signature CMF-EV platform and features an incredibly high-tech interior while offering drivers a laid-back, functional design. In contrast, the Max-Out is a sporty convertible boasting a striking teardrop profile with grid-patterned headlights and a digital grille.

Moving forward, the crossover Hang-Out arrives in a boxy design that prioritizes comfort and relaxation. According to the company, this model can "be used as an extension of personal space." Lastly, the most robust of the four models is the Surf-Out, an angular pick-up truck equipped with off-roading capabilities and plenty of cargo space.
