Nissan is making waves again, this time pulling back the curtains on its new Hyper Urban concept. But this isn’t just another electric vehicle (EV) designed to get you from point A to B. No, Nissan wants to redefine the relationship between your car and your home.

The car will probably never go into production, but it’s a cool concept

Debuted ahead of the Japan Mobility Show 2023, the Hyper Urban concept looks like something right out of a science fiction movie with its lime-yellow angular bodywork and futuristic scissor doors. But what really makes this concept stand out is its interior. Imagine a car that transforms into your living room. The front seats can literally fold back into a comfy two-person sofa where you can watch videos from a flip-up screen. Sounds like an ideal chill spot, right?

What’s more? Nissan doesn’t just see this as a car; it’s more like an extension of your home. The automaker even suggests that you can park this four-door crossover inside your loft or bungalow, turning it into an extra living space. This could revolutionize the way we think about cars and home design in the years to come.

And let’s not forget about its tech aspects. The Hyper Urban concept comes with built-in artificial intelligence to manage vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid functionalities, which means it can not only charge itself but also power your home, potentially saving you a chunk on energy costs.

But here’s the kicker: Nissan has no plans to actually manufacture the Hyper Urban. It’s essentially a peek into what the automaker thinks could be the future of EVs. While it might be a bummer that you won’t be able to own this living room on wheels anytime soon, it does leave us excited to see what else Nissan will unveil, both in terms of design and technology, at the upcoming Japan Mobility Show.
