Nissan Xmotion Concept blends Japanese culture & American utility

Nissan is looking to the future with the unveiling of the Nissan Xmotion Concept, pronounced Cross Motion. The compact SUV debuted at the 2018 North American International Auto Show on Monday morning. The design fuses what the automaker says is Japanese culture and tradition craftsmanship with American-style utility and Nissan's new Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology. "In the Xmotion concept, we explored the more rugged and powerful side of Nissan Intelligent Mobility. Bold and powerful forms and proportions are, upon closer inspection, contrasted with aspects of traditional Japanese craftsmanship expressed in a contemporary way," said Alfonso Albaisa, senior vice president of global design at Nissan. The Xmotion includes unique U-shaped headlights and a "bold evolution" of Nissan's signature V-motion grille.
