Meet Nissan’s latest e-POWER vehicle—the all-new IMQ. The car is the latest concept vehicle of Nissan that was launched at the recent Geneva International Motor Show.
At first glance, the IMQ seamlessly blends Japanese heritage with state-of-the-art, human-centric technology. It incorporates the latest innovations that bring to life Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the brand’s vision for the future of automotive transportation. Its styling reflects Nissan’s role as a pioneer and leader in crossovers, with a striking look that pushes the boundaries of what a European crossover can be.
When it comes to power and performance, the IMQ is a next generation e-POWER, which means it is a 100-percent electric motor drive system that delivers instant, linear acceleration.
Size-wise, this car is under C-Crossover segment which demonstrates a clean and effortless design, with the exterior and interior merging as one. The grille blends vertically into the hood and horizontally with the front bumper to create strong corners at the outer edges. The hood features striking chrome-edged cuts as the fender rises from the wheel arches and tucks under the central section.
At the rear, a vertical character line drops from the light cluster to separate air as it passes down the side, aiding aerodynamic performance. At its upper end, it’s integrated into a new slim line interpretation of Nissan’s “boomerang” lamp cluster. The single-piece tailgate tucks under the rear fenders, echoing the design of the hood.
The exterior is completed by 22-inch alloy wheels with bespoke Bridgestone Connect tires. These “smart” tires communicate information to the driver via the graphical user interface.
Inside, the IMQ’s interior is focused on the driver. This is demonstrated by the graphical user interface, dominated by an 840-millimeter screen embedded in the instrument panel. It’s completely black – like a smartphone – when powered down, but when powered up, it comes to life to provide e-POWER status and other vehicle information. Further use of the black lamellas is always visible behind the screen.
