The all-electric concept minivan and Nissan Kicks e-POWER STAR Edition are the highlights, leading the full Nissan vehicle lineup to excite Thai customers
The Nissan booth at the 45th Bangkok International Motor Show sparks electrified excitements with the presence of the Nissan Hyper Tourer, the all-electric autonomous driving concept minivan.
Thailand is the first market to bring the Nissan Hyper Tourer closer to motoring enthusiasts outside of Japan after its unveiling in the Japan Mobility Show 2023. Nissan Hyper Tourer will join Nissan Kicks e-POWER STAR Edition and the full Nissan vehicle lineup at one of Thailand’s largest annual auto shows, held from 27 March-7 April, 2024, at IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani. An extensive promotion program, including a special interest rate starting from 0% and up to a 96-month installment, is also available to help customers with different needs to own a Nissan vehicle.
Isao Sekiguchi, President of Nissan Motor Thailand and Nissan ASEAN, said, “The Nissan Hyper Tourer speaks clearly of our commitment to enhancing premium mobility and enriching people’s lives by combining the comfort of a luxurious living room with the convenience of a passenger van, all in a stylish and futuristic package. It shows how Nissan re-envisions the group road trip and will transform Thailand’s mobility society in the future. We are excited to bring it here for Thais who value the finer things in life and enjoy the company of family and friends.”
The Nissan Hyper Tourer is one of the five concept cars Nissan unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show 2023. It combines the essence of omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) with advanced technologies like autonomous driving, the Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), and high-energy density all-solid-state batteries that allow electricity to be supplied to homes, stores, and offices while traveling and on various business occasions.
The exterior, which conveys a sense of the comfort within, is composed of smooth body panels and sharp character lines that demonstrate traditional Japanese beauty, and its imposing appearance harmonizes with the surrounding landscape.
The spacious interior is made possible thanks to the Nissan EV Technology Vision, which consolidates compact components and high-energy density all-solid-state batteries to create innovate car packaging. The result is an ultra-low center of gravity, which when combined with the vehicle’s advanced e-4ORCE all-wheel control system produces smooth and flat acceleration and deceleration. The overhead console and lighting feature traditional Japanese kumiki and koushi patterns that create a sense of luxury, while the flat LED panel in the floor displays imagery of a riverbed and the sky, help creating a relaxing space where digital and nature are fused.
Fully autonomous driving enables those in the driver’s seat to focus on interacting with their travel companions. The front seats can swivel 360 degrees, allowing front- and rear-seat passengers to have face-to-face discussions. Rear-seat passengers can use a wearable display to view and operate the navigation and audio on the front-seat center display, creating a sense of unity among all occupants. Also, an innovative AI system can monitor your biometric signs—including brain waves, heart rate, breathing and perspiration—and automatically select complementary music and adjust the lighting to fit your mood.
While the Nissan Hyper Tourer envisions future mobility, another highlight, Nissan Kicks e-POWER STAR Edition demonstrates innovation through Nissan’s proprietary e-POWER technology. In this compact SUV, customers will be impressed with the unique benefits of 100% electric car driving experience without worrying about external charging.
Based on the VL grade, Nissan further enhances the compact SUV’s appearance with 10 decorative items:V-motion front grille, black lower front bumper, silver door mirror, STAR Edition stickers on the body, STAR Edition rear badge, black lower rear bumper, STAR Edition embroidery headrests, STAR Edition kicking plates, dual floor carpet, black decorative set around A/C adjusters, and wireless charger. Customers will continue to enjoy other innovative features of a Nissan Kicks e-POWER, including e-Pedal Step for easy accelerating and decelerating with one pedal, and 360 Safety Shield intelligent safety technologies for a confident and convenient journey. The price of Nissan KICKS Star Edition is 19,900 THB extra from the standard KICKS VL grade
